merge_chain()

void MayaFlux::Buffers::BufferProcessingChain::merge_chain

(

const std::shared_ptr< BufferProcessingChain > &

other

)

Combines another processing pipeline into this one with optimization.

Parameters

other

Chain to merge into this one

Adds all processors from the other chain to this one, preserving their buffer associations and order while performing intelligent optimization. This enables the composition of complex transformation pipelines from simpler, reusable components:

• Compatibility Analysis: Validates that merged processors are compatible
• Optimization Opportunities: Identifies potential performance improvements in the combined pipeline
• Resource Consolidation: Optimizes resource usage across the merged processors
• Backend Harmonization: Resolves any backend conflicts between the chains
