Description

ComputeBuffer with a counter.

Adds a "counter" to a RWStructuredBuffer and allows using IncrementCounter / DecrementCounter HLSL functions on it.

The stride passed when constructing the buffer must match structure size, be a multiple of 4 and less than 2048.

See Microsoft's HLSL documentation on IncrementCounter and DecrementCounter.

The buffer size value can be copied into another buffer using ComputeBuffer.CopyCount, or explicitly reset with ComputeBuffer.SetCounterValue.
