@ -1975,7 +1975,7 @@ GPU zones are ended via \texttt{\_\_\_tracy\_emit\_gpu\_zone\_end}.
When the timestamps are fetched from the GPU, they must then be emitted via the \texttt{\_\_\_tracy\_emit\_gpu\_time} function. After all timestamps for a frame are emitted, \texttt{queryIds} may be re-used.
CPU and GPU timestamps may be periodically resynchronized via the \texttt{\_\_\_tracy\_emit\_gpu\_time\_sync} function, which takes the GPU timestamp closest to the moment of the call. This can help with timestamp drift and work around compounding GPU timestamp overflowing.
CPU and GPU timestamps may be periodically resynchronized via the \texttt{\_\_\_tracy\_emit\_gpu\_time\_sync} function, which takes the GPU timestamp closest to the moment of the call. This can help with timestamp drift and work around compounding GPU timestamp overflowing. Note that this requires CPU and GPU synchronization, which will block execution of your application. Do not do this every frame.
To see how you should use this API, you should look at the reference implementation contained in API-specific C++ headers provided by Tracy. For example, to see how to write your instrumentation of OpenGL, you should closely follow the contents of the \texttt{TracyOpenGL.hpp} implementation.
