hlsl - Which type sizes can I use for specific semantics -

-

microsoft provides list explaining input , output semantics of vertex , pixel shaders. i've seen code examples don't use documented data types. using float3 input color pixel shader or float2 input position vertex shader. though 2-component position or 3-component color make sense me, can't find documented, makes me wonder

  • can use float3 vertex shader input position (if know won't using w component) without expecting errors?

  • if can use data types other documented ones, there list available shows every allowed data type semantic or rule "as long used data type smaller or equally sized documented one, can use it"?

code examples not following documentation:

stackoverflow - passing colors through pixel shader in hlsl

c++ / directx11 tutorials - s02e05 - creating , loading shaders @ 9:33

in shader model 4.0 , later (dx10+), semantic names matter system-value semantics (those prefixed sv_). other semantics have no special treatment aside being used match shader parameters inputs. documentation regarding semantics such color being float4 purely convention, or legacy dx9. in dx10/sm4+, there's nothing stopping declaring color float2, or deciding use unicorn semantic name colors, though don't surprised if confuses other developers (or yourself) reviewing code in future.

to answer specific question, yes can use data type want non-sv_ semantics, or invent own names. make sure use consistent naming , channel counts between stages , input layout declaration.

ios - Memory not freeing up after popping viewcontroller using ARC -

-
hi project arc based, using uinavigationcontroller make transition between viewcontroller. using profiler analyse happening behind scene memory. noticed when push viewcontroller allocate memory components , when pop not freeing allocated memory. since using arc unable implement dealloc or release component. have analysed in detail , there no memory leak in project. i not using strong property push viewcontroller. here how pushing viewcontroller. viewcontroller *obj = [[viewcontroller alloc] init]; [self.navigationcontroller pushviewcontroller:obj animated:no]; any clue whats going on? should free memory have consumed. please advise your description indicates have retain cycle, leads objects not being deallocated. typical source of retain cycles properties assigned loading nib files (usually declared iboutlet ). two strategies break them , release objects: declare property weak : @property (nonatomic, weak) iboutlet uilabel *statuslabel; set property nil in...
