5 | <span class="emphasis"><em>Available only in the Tessellation Control and Compute Shaders</em></span>, <code class="function">barrier</code> provides | |
6 | a partially defined order of execution between shader invocations. For any given static instance of <code class="function">barrier</code>, | |
7 | in a tessellation control shader, all invocations for a single input patch must enter it before any will be allowed | |
8 | to continue beyond it. For any given static instance of <code class="function">barrier</code> in a compute shader, all invocations | |
9 | within a single work group must enter it before any are allowed to continue beyond it. | |
10 | This ensures that values written by one invocation prior to a given static instance | |
11 | of <code class="function">barrier</code> can be safely read by other invocations after their call to the same static | |
12 | instance of <code class="function">barrier</code>. Because invocations may execute in undefined order between these | |
13 | <code class="function">barrier</code> calls, the values of a per-vertex or per-patch output variable, or any shared variable will be undefined | |
14 | in a number of cases. | |
15 | </p><p> | |
16 | <code class="function">barrier</code> may only be placed inside the function <code class="code">main()</code> of the tessellation | |
17 | control shader, but may be placed anywhere in a compute shader. Calls to <code class="function">barrier</code> may not | |
18 | be placed within any control flow. Barriers are also disallowed after a return | |
19 | statement in the function <code class="code">main()</code>. | |
