Are these atomic counters related to the atomic object feature that was promised with OGL 3.0 and then dropped? Is there a template model now in OGL or is it using a different method to create immutable objects across multiple threads?
Please excuse my ignorance as I haven’t looked at OpenGL since 3.0 was released in 2006. Now SteamOS has piqued my interest in OGL again.
Edit: grammar. Thanks jonah! After some googling, it looks like atomic counters are not the same as the promised atomic objects, but seems OGL 4.0+ has nearly closed the feature gap with DX11.

- jonah 13y agoOh, jeez. Not my intention at all. (Apologies if it was taken that way.) So, are we not to help people (in general) come across better by using the proper words?
- Amadou 13y agoIt seems I misread the original post and thought you were 'correcting' an already correct usage. On reading it again, it seems that I was wrong and I apologize. Given that HN does not show any historical revisions, it can be hard to tell the order (or even existence) of edits. FWIW, if you had quoted the line you were commenting on it would have been unambiguously clear to me that the OP had taken your advice and corrected whatever he original wrote.
- lbenes 13y agoSorry for the confusion. When I came back to edit my original post, I also changed peaked -> piqued per Johan's suggestion. Not sure of the Internet etiquette here, but next time I'll be more clear.
- jonah 13y agoThanks for the clarifications. :) (It's hard to humbly offer suggestions online...) > FWIW, if you had quoted the line you were commenting on it would have been unambiguously clear to me that the OP had taken your advice and corrected whatever he original wrote. Good point. I usually do this, but will try to always do so as it helps with the clarity.
