DXGI_DDI_BASE_FUNCTIONS structure (dxgiddi.h)

The DXGI_DDI_BASE_FUNCTIONS structure contains functions that the user-mode display driver can implement to perform low-level tasks like presenting rendered frames to an output, controlling gamma, and managing a full-screen transition.

Members

pfnPresent

Pointer to the PresentDXGI function that notifies the user-mode display driver that an application finished rendering and requests that the driver display to the destination surface.

The hDevice member of the DXGI_DDI_ARG_PRESENT structure that the pPresentData parameter points to is the same handle that the driver's CreateDevice(D3D10) function passed back to the runtime in the hDrvDevice member of the D3D10DDIARG_CREATEDEVICE structure. Therefore, driver writers must define the type of this handle carefully. In addition, drivers can supply different implementations of the PresentDXGI function based on which DDI implementation handled the call to CreateDevice(D3D10). The runtime will never mix driver handles across DDI implementations. Similarly, the hSurfaceToPresent and hDstResource members of DXGI_DDI_ARG_PRESENT are also driver-defined resource handles that the driver returned to the runtime in previous calls to the driver's CreateResource(D3D10) function.

The pDXGIContext member of DXGI_DDI_ARG_PRESENT is an opaque communication mechanism. The runtime passes this DXGI context to the driver. The driver should copy this DXGI context unchanged to the pDXGIContext member of the DXGIDDICB_PRESENT structure when the driver calls the pfnPresentCbDXGI function.

The driver must submit all partially built render data (command buffers) using the pfnRenderCb function. Thereafter, the driver must translate the resource handle parameters into kernel handles and use those kernel handles in a call to pfnPresentCbDXGI.

Note

When the driver's PresentDXGI function copies sRGB-formatted content from a source surface to a non-sRGB destination surface, the driver should copy the sRGB content unchanged (that is, the driver should not perform the sRGB to linear conversion).

pPresentData

[in] A pointer to a DXGI_DDI_ARG_PRESENT structure that describes how to display to the destination surface.

pfnGetGammaCaps

The GetGammaCapsDXGI function retrieves gamma capabilities.

pGammaData

[in] A pointer to a DXGI_DDI_ARG_GET_GAMMA_CONTROL_CAPS structure that contains gamma capabilities.

pfnSetDisplayMode

A pointer to the driver's SetDisplayModeDXGI function.

pfnSetResourcePriority

The SetResourcePriorityDXGI function sets the eviction-from-memory priority for a resource.

The Microsoft Direct3D runtime calls SetResourcePriorityDXGI to set the priority level for a resource. The user-mode display driver should translate the resource handle that is supplied in the hResource member of the DXGI_DDI_ARG_SETRESOURCEPRIORITY structure that is pointed to by pPriorityData to an allocation handle. After the driver makes this translation, the driver should pass the resulting handle in a call to the pfnSetPriorityCb function.

pPriorityData

[in] A pointer to a DXGI_DDI_ARG_SETRESOURCEPRIORITY structure that describes the priority level to set a resource to.

pfnQueryResourceResidency

This function determines the residency of the given list of resources.

The Microsoft Direct3D runtime calls the user-mode display driver's QueryResourceResidencyDXGI function for applications to determine if the operating system will incur a significant stall at draw time if the system must make resources GPU-accessible. The information that is returned from QueryResourceResidencyDXGI is an approximation of the residency of resources because the resources might become demoted before applications use the resources.

QueryResourceResidencyDXGI must call the pfnQueryResidencyCb function. pfnQueryResidencyCb returns the residency status of a resource in the elements of the array that is specified by the pResidencyStatus member of the D3DDDICB_QUERYRESIDENCY structure. If pfnQueryResidencyCb returns D3DDDI_RESIDENCYSTATUS_NOTRESIDENT for any query, QueryResourceResidencyDXGI must return S_NOT_RESIDENT. If pfnQueryResidencyCb returns D3DDDI_RESIDENCYSTATUS_RESIDENTINSHAREDMEMORY for any query and does not return D3DDDI_RESIDENCYSTATUS_NOTRESIDENT for any query, QueryResourceResidencyDXGI must return S_RESIDENT_IN_SHARED_MEMORY. QueryResourceResidencyDXGI must return S_OK only if all calls to pfnQueryResidencyCb for all queries return D3DDDI_RESIDENCYSTATUS_RESIDENTINGPUMEMORY.

For each resource that the runtime queries through a call to QueryResourceResidencyDXGI, the user-mode display driver must determine which allocations that belong to the resource to query through a call to pfnQueryResidencyCb. For a resource that owns a single allocation, the determination is simple--the driver will query that allocation. However, if a resource owns multiple allocations, the determination is more difficult. The driver must determine which allocations that an application will likely use for rendering, and the driver must query only those allocations. For example, if a resource owns an allocation that is used for rendering and a scratch allocation that handles a lock operation, the driver should query only for the residency of the first allocation, because an application will most likely not use the second allocation for rendering.

Note

Because the runtime does not support residency-querying of system memory resources, the runtime will always fail requests from applications for the residency status of system memory resources and will never call the user-mode display driver's QueryResourceResidencyDXGI function for these system memory resources.

pResidencyData

[in] A pointer to a DXGI_DDI_ARG_QUERYRESOURCERESIDENCY structure that describes a list of resources that residency is verified on.

pfnRotateResourceIdentities

Rotates a list of resources.

The RotateResourceIdentitiesDXGI function must exchange identities of the array of resources that are passed in the pResources member of the DXGI_DDI_ARG_ROTATE_RESOURCE_IDENTITIES structure that the pRotateData parameter points to. For example, if the array of resources refers to resources X, Y, and Z, in increasing array index order, RotateResourceIdentitiesDXGI must rotate those handles to refer to Y, Z, and X, in increasing array index order. In particular, the user-mode display driver should swap the kernel handles of the corresponding resources. However, the driver should not swap the corresponding runtime (RT) handles. The runtime calls RotateResourceIdentitiesDXGI to rotate back buffers during presentation. Therefore, a call to RotateResourceIdentitiesDXGI is infrequent. The runtime can specify the D3D10_DDI_BIND_PRESENT flag in the BindFlags member of the D3D10DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE structure when the runtime calls the driver's CreateResource(D3D10) function to indicate that the resource can participate in a rotate operation.

The user-mode display driver must also handle other aspects of exchanging identities. For example, in Direct3D version 10, views can refer to resources; and such views can have resource addresses embedded in them. Therefore, the driver must re-create such views. Also, the driver might be required to reapply currently bound views.

Beginning in Windows 8, the driver must support rotation of stereo back buffers.

pRotateData

[in] A pointer to a DXGI_DDI_ARG_ROTATE_RESOURCE_IDENTITIES structure that describes a list of resources to rotate.

pfnBlt

Copies the contents of a source surface to a destination surface and may rotate the contents.

The Direct3D runtime might set the Flags member of the DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT structure that the pBltData parameter points to in such a way as to require the BltDXGI function to perform a bit-block transfer (bitblt) operation that resolves multi-sampled resources, performs color-format conversion, and performs a stretch or shrink all at once. However, the Direct3D runtime will never set the Flags member of DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT to zero (that is, no flags set) together with the DXGI_DDI_MODE_ROTATION_IDENTITY value set in the Rotate member of DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT (that is, to indicate no rotation) to perform a straight memory copy operation. Instead, unless both resources are multi-sampled, the Direct3D runtime calls the driver's ResourceCopy or ResourceCopyRegion function to perform a straight memory copy operation.

The quality of the stretch or shrink that the user-mode display driver performs must be as good as the stretch or shrink that a bilinear filter performs.

The Direct3D runtime will call the driver's BltDXGI function infrequently. That is, the runtime should call BltDXGI no more than once or twice per frame because the runtime uses BltDXGI primarily to support a presentation.

When the runtime calls BltDXGI for a presentation, the runtime sets the Present bit-field flag in the Flags member of DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT. The runtime sets the Present bit-field flag to inform the driver that there are extra requirements for the bitblt and that extra synchronization may be necessary (for example, the runtime might need to perform extra synchronization in computer configurations that contain two graphics adapters that each handle separate parts of the display). When the Present bit-field flag is set, the driver should perform a copy operation from an application's back buffers to the shared surface of the DWM. Because synchronization for this type of copy operation is inexact, tearing artifacts should be the worst type of artifacts that a user experiences. For this type of copy operation, the driver should not use a multi-pass approach by first resolving into the destination surface and then color converting the results in-place because the possible artifacts would be much worse.

If the driver supports returning DXGI_DDI_ERR_UNSUPPORTED during the creation of a primary surface (that is, returning DXGI_DDI_ERR_UNSUPPORTED from a call to its CreateResource(D3D10) function with the D3D10_DDI_BIND_PRESENT flag set in the BindFlags member of D3D10DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE along with the pPrimaryDesc member of D3D10DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE set to non-NULL), the driver must also support rotation during a copy operation. If the driver never returns DXGI_DDI_ERR_UNSUPPORTED from a call to its CreateResource(D3D10) function, the runtime will never pass the DXGI_DDI_MODE_ROTATION_ROTATE90, DXGI_DDI_MODE_ROTATION_ROTATE180, or DXGI_DDI_MODE_ROTATION_ROTATE270 value to the Rotate member of DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT. Therefore, in this situation, the driver's BltDXGI function is not required to support rotation.

The runtime sets a value in the Rotate member of DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT to indicate the number of degrees to rotate counter-clockwise the contents of the source before the driver copies the contents to the destination. Rotation is specified in increments of 90 degrees.

Note

When the driver's BltDXGI function copies sRGB-formatted content from a source surface to a non-sRGB destination surface, the driver should copy the sRGB content unchanged (that is, the driver should not perform the sRGB to linear conversion).

Source restrictions

The BltDXGI function always uses a whole source subresource (versus some sub-rectangular area) to perform the bitblt operation. In addition, the source is a D3D10DDIRESOURCE_TEXTURE2D representation (specified in the ResourceDimension member of D3D10DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE when the source is created in a call to the user-mode display driver's CreateResource(D3D10) function). When the runtime sets the Resolve bitfield in the Flags member of DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT, the source is a multi-sampled resource. The source resource is restricted to a resource in which the D3D10_DDI_BIND_PRESENT flag was set in the BindFlags member of D3D10DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE. The format of the source (specified in the Format member of D3D10DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE) is restricted to display mode formats, specified by the following values from the DXGI_FORMAT enumeration:

  • DXGI_FORMAT_B5G6R5_UNORM
  • DXGI_FORMAT_B5G5R5A1_UNORM
  • DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM (See Note below.)
  • DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8X8_UNORM
  • DXGI_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_FLOAT
  • DXGI_FORMAT_R10G10B10A2_UNORM
  • DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM
  • DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM_SRGB

Note

If the driver supports the source format DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM, the following restrictions apply:

  • When the driver performs a bitblt operation from a floating-point format to an integer format such as BGRA8888, it must implicitly encode gamma into the results.
  • Conversely, when the driver performs a bitblt operation from an integer format to a floating-point format, it must implicitly remove gamma encoding from the results.

Destination restrictions

The destination is also a D3D10DDIRESOURCE_TEXTURE2D representation. The format of the destination is also restricted to display mode formats. The destination resource is restricted to a resource that is bound as a render target (D3D10_DDI_BIND_RENDER_TARGET set in the BindFlags member of D3D10DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE or D3D11DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE).

Creating a stereo back buffer

Beginning in Windows 8, if the driver must create a stereo back buffer, it should set members of the D3D10DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE or D3D11DDIARG_CREATERESOURCE structure, respectively, pointed to by the pCreateResource parameter of the CreateResource(D3D10) or CreateResource(D3D11) functions, as follows:

  1. Set the ArraySize member to a value of 2.
  2. Set the D3D10_DDI_BIND_PRESENT flag value in the BindFlags member.

Additionally, to support stereo presentation, the BltDXGI function must allow any values for the DstSubresource and SrcSubresource members of the DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT structure that are within the range of the source and destination resources.

pBltData

[in] A pointer to a DXGI_DDI_ARG_BLT structure that describes the parameters of a bit-block transfer (bitblt).
