<h2>Description</h2>

<p>

<code class="function">memoryBarrierBuffer</code> waits on the completion of all memory accesses resulting

from the use of buffer variables and then returns with no other effect. When this function returns, the

results of any modifications to the content of buffer variables will be visible

to any access to the same buffer from other shader invocations. In particular,

any modifications made in one shader stage are guaranteed to be visible to accesses

performed by shader invocations in subsequent stages when those invocations were triggered by the

execution of the original shader invocation (e.g., fragment shader invocations for a primitive resulting

from a particular geometry shader invocation).
