glBeginQueryIndexed, glEndQueryIndexed

glBeginQueryIndexed and glEndQueryIndexed delimit the boundaries of a query object. query must be a name previously returned from a call to glGenQueries . If a query object with name id does not yet exist it is created with the type determined by target . target must be one of GL_SAMPLES_PASSED , GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED , GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED , GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN , or GL_TIME_ELAPSED . The behavior of the query object depends on its type and is as follows.

index specifies the index of the query target and must be between a target -specific maximum.

If target is GL_SAMPLES_PASSED , id must be an unused name, or the name of an existing occlusion query object. When glBeginQueryIndexed is executed, the query object's samples-passed counter is reset to 0. Subsequent rendering will increment the counter for every sample that passes the depth test. If the value of GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is 0, then the samples-passed count is incremented by 1 for each fragment. If the value of GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is 1, then the samples-passed count is incremented by the number of samples whose coverage bit is set. However, implementations, at their discression may instead increase the samples-passed count by the value of GL_SAMPLES if any sample in the fragment is covered. When glEndQueryIndexed is executed, the samples-passed counter is assigned to the query object's result value. This value can be queried by calling glGetQueryObject with pname GL_QUERY_RESULT . When target is GL_SAMPLES_PASSED , index must be zero.

If target is GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED , id must be an unused name, or the name of an existing boolean occlusion query object. When glBeginQueryIndexed is executed, the query object's samples-passed flag is reset to GL_FALSE . Subsequent rendering causes the flag to be set to GL_TRUE if any sample passes the depth test. When glEndQueryIndexed is executed, the samples-passed flag is assigned to the query object's result value. This value can be queried by calling glGetQueryObject with pname GL_QUERY_RESULT . When target is GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED , index must be zero.

If target is GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED , id must be an unused name, or the name of an existing primitive query object previously bound to the GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED query binding. When glBeginQueryIndexed is executed, the query object's primitives-generated counter is reset to 0. Subsequent rendering will increment the counter once for every vertex that is emitted from the geometry shader to the stream given by index , or from the vertex shader if index is zero and no geometry shader is present. When glEndQueryIndexed is executed, the primitives-generated counter for stream index is assigned to the query object's result value. This value can be queried by calling glGetQueryObject with pname GL_QUERY_RESULT . When target is GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED , index must be less than the value of GL_MAX_VERTEX_STREAMS .

If target is GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN , id must be an unused name, or the name of an existing primitive query object previously bound to the GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN query binding. When glBeginQueryIndexed is executed, the query object's primitives-written counter for the stream specified by index is reset to 0. Subsequent rendering will increment the counter once for every vertex that is written into the bound transform feedback buffer(s) for stream index . If transform feedback mode is not activated between the call to glBeginQueryIndexed and glEndQueryIndexed , the counter will not be incremented. When glEndQueryIndexed is executed, the primitives-written counter for stream index is assigned to the query object's result value. This value can be queried by calling glGetQueryObject with pname GL_QUERY_RESULT . When target is GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN , index must be less than the value of GL_MAX_VERTEX_STREAMS .

If target is GL_TIME_ELAPSED , id must be an unused name, or the name of an existing timer query object previously bound to the GL_TIME_ELAPSED query binding. When glBeginQueryIndexed is executed, the query object's time counter is reset to 0. When glEndQueryIndexed is executed, the elapsed server time that has passed since the call to glBeginQueryIndexed is written into the query object's time counter. This value can be queried by calling glGetQueryObject with pname GL_QUERY_RESULT . When target is GL_TIME_ELAPSED , index must be zero.

Querying the GL_QUERY_RESULT implicitly flushes the GL pipeline until the rendering delimited by the query object has completed and the result is available. GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE can be queried to determine if the result is immediately available or if the rendering is not yet complete.

If the query target's count exceeds the maximum value representable in the number of available bits, as reported by glGetQueryiv with target set to the appropriate query target and pname GL_QUERY_COUNTER_BITS , the count becomes undefined.

An implementation may support 0 bits in its counter, in which case query results are always undefined and essentially useless.

When GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is 0, the samples-passed counter of an occlusion query will increment once for each fragment that passes the depth test. When GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS is 1, an implementation may either increment the samples-passed counter individually for each sample of a fragment that passes the depth test, or it may choose to increment the counter for all samples of a fragment if any one of them passes the depth test.

Calling glBeginQuery or glEndQuery is equivalent to calling glBeginQueryIndexed or glEndQueryIndexed with index set to zero, respectively.

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not one of the accepted tokens.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if index is greater than the query target-specific maximum.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glBeginQueryIndexed is executed while a query object of the same target is already active.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glEndQueryIndexed is executed when a query object of the same target is not active.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if id is 0.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if id is the name of an already active query object.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if id refers to an existing query object whose type does not does not match target .
