Detailed Description

Specialisation of GLSLProgram to provide support for separable programs via the OpenGL program pipeline.

Separable programs consist of shader objects which have been individually linked. This allows for invidual shaders in a program pipeline to be swapped without recompiling the program object, as would be necessary with monolithic programs. This is especially useful in the common case of only entities which change only a few of the shaders in the pipeline while leaving the rest the same.

Remarks

GLSL has no target assembler or entry point specification like DirectX 9 HLSL. Vertex and Fragment shaders only have one entry point called "main". When a shader is compiled, microcode is generated but can not be accessed by the application.

GLSL also does not provide assembler low level output after compiling. The GL Render system assumes that the Gpu program is a GL Gpu program so GLSLSeparableProgram will create a GL3PlusShader for the low level implementation. The GLProgram class will create a shader and program object and compile the source but will not create a pipeline object. It's up to GLGpuProgram class to request a program pipeline object to link the program object to.

Note

GLSL supportsn multiple modular shader objects that can be attached to one program object to form a single shader. This is supported through the "attach" material script command. All the modules to be attached are listed on the same line as the attach command separated by white space.
