The underlying error code type that indicates why a GPU driver can’t create a counter sample buffer.

```
enum Code
```

## Topics

### Error codes

[`MTLCounterSampleBufferError.Code.outOfMemory`](/documentation/Metal/MTLCounterSampleBufferError-swift.struct/Code/outOfMemory)

An error code that indicates the GPU device doesn’t have sufficient memory to create a counter sample buffer.

[`MTLCounterSampleBufferError.Code.invalid`](/documentation/Metal/MTLCounterSampleBufferError-swift.struct/Code/invalid)

An error code that indicates when a counter-sample buffer descriptor has at
least one invalid property.

[`MTLCounterSampleBufferError.Code.internal`](/documentation/Metal/MTLCounterSampleBufferError-swift.struct/Code/internal)

An error code that indicates the Metal framework has an internal problem.

[`MTLCounterSampleBufferError.Code.outOfMemory`](/documentation/Metal/MTLCounterSampleBufferError-swift.struct/Code/outOfMemory)
