Subject: Add a usage parameter to Buffer
X-Git-Url: http://git.tdb.fi/?p=libs%2Fgl.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=6080120777fdf7b6e1184288eff9d205ca7ebf5f

Add a usage parameter to Buffer

It has no real meaning on OpenGL but is needed on Vulkan

+Buffers can have a static or streaming usage pattern.  Streaming buffers can be

 Applications normally don't need to deal with Buffers directly.  They're
