`atomicLoad`

Function

Reads the value of an atomic<u32> or atomic<i32> location in a read-write storage binding (atomicLoad(bins[i])).

The signature and the sentence under each name are the compiler's own text at commit 26de7be8.

Syntax

declare function atomicLoad<T extends u32 | i32>(location: atomic<T>): T

Parameters

location atomic<T>

Return value

T

Description

Compiles to atomicLoad(&bins[i]) on WGSL; GLSL ES 3.00 has no atomics, so a module using it emits WGSL alone. The CPU oracle runs invocations in order and reads the location.

Targets

WGSL: atomicLoad(&a)
GLSL ES 3.00: atomicLoad has no GLSL ES 3.00 spelling (no storage buffers, no atomics)
