newZoneForBuffers(withSize:andType:)

Creates a zone large enough to fit the specified group of allocation sizes.

Declaration

func newZoneForBuffers(withSize sizes: [NSNumber], andType types: [NSNumber]) -> any MDLMeshBufferZone

Parameters

  • sizes:

    An array of integers, each the length in bytes of an allocation to be made later.

  • types:

    An array of integers, each the Mdlmeshbuffertype value corresponding to an allocation described in the sizes array.

Return Value

A new memory zone.

Discussion

Objects implementing the MDLMeshBufferZone protocol describe a logical pool of memory for allocation of related buffers. The actual class of buffer zone objects vended by an allocator may be private.

This method creates a zone with enough capacity to allocate buffers with the sizes and types specified, taking into account any alignment restrictions necessary to use these buffers.
