Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram class

Base for shader program implementations.

Subclassing workflow

This class is designed to be used via subclassing. Subclasses define these functions and properties:

  • Attribute definitions with location and type for configuring meshes, for example:

    typedef GL::Attribute<0, Vector3> Position;
typedef GL::Attribute<1, Vector3> Normal;
typedef GL::Attribute<2, Vector2> TextureCoordinates;

  • Output attribute locations, if desired, for example:

    enum: UnsignedInt {
    ColorOutput = 0,
    NormalOutput = 1
};

  • Constructor, which loads, compiles and attaches particular shaders and links the program together, for example:

    explicit MyShader() {
    /* Load shader sources */
    GL::Shader vert{GL::Version::GL430, GL::Shader::Type::Vertex};
    GL::Shader frag{GL::Version::GL430, GL::Shader::Type::Fragment};
    vert.addFile("MyShader.vert");
    frag.addFile("MyShader.frag");

    /* Invoke parallel compilation for best performance */
    CORRADE_INTERNAL_ASSERT_OUTPUT(GL::Shader::compile({vert, frag}));

    /* Attach the shaders */
    attachShaders({vert, frag});

    /* Link the program together */
    CORRADE_INTERNAL_ASSERT_OUTPUT(link());
}

  • Uniform setting functions, which will provide public interface for protected setUniform() functions. For usability purposes you can implement also method chaining. Example:

    MyShader& setProjectionMatrix(const Matrix4& matrix) {
    setUniform(0, matrix);
    return *this;
}
MyShader& setTransformationMatrix(const Matrix4& matrix) {
    setUniform(1, matrix);
    return *this;
}
MyShader& setNormalMatrix(const Matrix3x3& matrix) {
    setUniform(2, matrix);
    return *this;
}

  • Texture and texture image binding functions in which you bind the textures/images to particular texture/image units using *Texture::bind() / *Texture::bindImage() and similar, for example:

    MyShader& bindDiffuseTexture(GL::Texture2D& texture) {
    texture.bind(0);
    return *this;
}
MyShader& bindSpecularTexture(GL::Texture2D& texture) {
    texture.bind(1);
    return *this;
}

  • Transform feedback setup function, if needed, in which you bind buffers to particular indices using TransformFeedback::attachBuffer() and similar, possibly with overloads based on desired use cases, e.g.:

    MyShader& setTransformFeedback(GL::TransformFeedback& feedback, GL::Buffer& positions, GL::Buffer& data) {
    feedback.attachBuffers(0, {&positions, &data});
    return *this;
}
MyShader& setTransformFeedback(GL::TransformFeedback& feedback, Int totalCount, GL::Buffer& positions, GLintptr positionsOffset, GL::Buffer& data, GLintptr dataOffset) {
    feedback.attachBuffers(0, {
        std::make_tuple(&positions, positionsOffset, totalCount*sizeof(Vector3)),
        std::make_tuple(&data, dataOffset, totalCount*sizeof(Vector2ui))
    });
    return *this;
}

Binding attribute location

The preferred workflow is to specify attribute location for vertex shader input attributes and fragment shader output attributes explicitly in the shader code, e.g.:

// GLSL 3.30, GLSL ES 3.00 or
#extension GL_ARB_explicit_attrib_location: require
layout(location = 0) in vec4 position;
layout(location = 1) in vec3 normal;
layout(location = 2) in vec2 textureCoordinates;

Similarly for ouput attributes, you can also specify blend equation color index for them (see Renderer::BlendFunction for more information about using color input index):

layout(location = 0, index = 0) out vec4 color;
layout(location = 1, index = 1) out vec3 normal;

If you don't have the required version/extension, declare the attributes without layout() qualifier and use functions bindAttributeLocation() and bindFragmentDataLocation() / bindFragmentDataLocationIndexed() between attaching the shaders and linking the program. Note that additional syntax changes may be needed for GLSL 1.20 and GLSL ES.

in vec4 position;
in vec3 normal;
in vec2 textureCoordinates;
out vec4 color;
out vec3 normal;
// Shaders attached...

bindAttributeLocation(Position::Location, "position");
bindAttributeLocation(Normal::Location, "normal");
bindAttributeLocation(TextureCoordinates::Location, "textureCoordinates");

bindFragmentDataLocationIndexed(ColorOutput, 0, "color");
bindFragmentDataLocationIndexed(NormalOutput, 1, "normal");

// Link...

Uniform locations

The preferred workflow is to specify uniform locations directly in the shader code, e.g.:

// GLSL 4.30, GLSL ES 3.10 or
#extension GL_ARB_explicit_uniform_location: require
layout(location = 0) uniform mat4 projectionMatrix;
layout(location = 1) uniform mat4 transformationMatrix;
layout(location = 2) uniform mat3 normalMatrix;

If you don't have the required version/extension, declare the uniforms without the layout() qualifier, get uniform location using uniformLocation() after linking stage and then use the queried location in uniform setting functions. Note that additional syntax changes may be needed for GLSL 1.20 and GLSL ES.

uniform mat4 projectionMatrix;
uniform mat4 transformationMatrix;
uniform mat3 normalMatrix;
Int projectionMatrixUniform = uniformLocation("projectionMatrix");
Int transformationMatrixUniform = uniformLocation("transformationMatrix");
Int normalMatrixUniform = uniformLocation("normalMatrix");

Uniform block bindings

The preferred workflow is to specify uniform block binding directly in the shader code, e.g.:

// GLSL 4.20, GLSL ES 3.10 or
#extension GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack: require
layout(std140, binding = 0) uniform matrices {
    mat4 projectionMatrix;
    mat4 transformationMatrix;
};
layout(std140, binding = 1) uniform material {
    vec4 diffuse;
    vec4 specular;
};

If you don't have the required version/extension, declare the uniform blocks without the layout() qualifier, get uniform block index using uniformBlockIndex() and then map it to the uniform buffer binding using setUniformBlockBinding(). Note that additional syntax changes may be needed for GLSL ES.

layout(std140) uniform matrices {
    mat4 projectionMatrix;
    mat4 transformationMatrix;
};
layout(std140) uniform material {
    vec4 diffuse;
    vec4 specular;
};
setUniformBlockBinding(uniformBlockIndex("matrices"), 0);
setUniformBlockBinding(uniformBlockIndex("material"), 1);

Shader storage block bindings

The workflow is to specify shader storage block binding directly in the shader code, e.g.:

// GLSL 4.30 or GLSL ES 3.10
layout(std430, binding = 0) buffer vertices {
    vec3 position;
    vec3 color;
};
layout(std430, binding = 1) buffer normals {
    vec3 normal;
};

Specifying texture and image binding units

The preferred workflow is to specify texture/image binding unit directly in the shader code, e.g.:

// GLSL 4.20, GLSL ES 3.10 or
#extension GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack: require
layout(binding = 0) uniform sampler2D diffuseTexture;
layout(binding = 1) uniform sampler2D specularTexture;

If you don't have the required version/extension, declare the uniforms without the binding qualifier and set the texture binding unit using setUniform(Int, Int). Note that additional syntax changes may be needed for GLSL ES.

uniform sampler2D diffuseTexture;
uniform sampler2D specularTexture;
setUniform(uniformLocation("diffuseTexture"), 0);
setUniform(uniformLocation("specularTexture"), 1);

Specifying transform feedback binding points

The preferred workflow is to specify output binding points directly in the shader code, e.g.:

// GLSL 4.40, or
#extension GL_ARB_enhanced_layouts: require
layout(xfb_buffer = 0, xfb_stride = 32) out block {
    layout(xfb_offset = 0) vec3 position;
    layout(xfb_offset = 16) vec3 normal;
};
layout(xfb_buffer = 1) out vec3 velocity;

If you don't have the required version/extension, declare the uniforms without the xfb_* qualifier and set the binding points using setTransformFeedbackOutputs(). Equivalent setup for the previous code would be the following:

out block {
    vec3 position;
    vec3 normal;
};
out vec3 velocity;
setTransformFeedbackOutputs({
        // Buffer 0
        "position", "gl_SkipComponents1", "normal", "gl_SkipComponents1",
        // Buffer 1
        "gl_NextBuffer", "velocity"
    }, TransformFeedbackBufferMode::InterleavedAttributes);

Rendering workflow

Basic workflow with AbstractShaderProgram subclasses is: instance shader class, configure attribute binding in meshes (see Mesh documentation for more information) and map shader outputs to framebuffer attachments if needed (see Framebuffer documentation for more information). In each draw event set all required shader parameters, bind specific framebuffer (if needed) and then call Mesh::draw(). Example:

shader.setTransformationMatrix(transformation)
    .setProjectionMatrix(projection)
    .bindDiffuseTexture(diffuseTexture)
    .bindSpecularTexture(specularTexture);

mesh.draw(shader);

Compute workflow

Add just the Shader::Type::Compute shader and implement uniform/texture setting functions as needed. After setting up required parameters call dispatchCompute().

Mapping between GLSL and Magnum types

See Type system for more information, only types with GLSL equivalent can be used (and their super- or subclasses with the same size and underlying type). See also Attribute::DataType enum for additional type options.

Performance optimizations

The engine tracks currently used shader program to avoid unnecessary calls to glUseProgram(). Shader limits (such as maxVertexAttributes()) are cached, so repeated queries don't result in repeated glGet() calls. See also Context::resetState() and Context::State::Shaders.

If extension ARB_separate_shader_objects (part of OpenGL 4.1), EXT_direct_state_access desktop extension, EXT_separate_shader_objects OpenGL ES extension or OpenGL ES 3.1 is available, uniform setting functions use DSA functions to avoid unnecessary calls to glUseProgram(). See setUniform() documentation for more information.

To achieve least state changes, set all uniforms in one run — method chaining comes in handy.

Initially disabled.

void Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram::attachShader(Shader& shader) protected

Attach shader.

void Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram::attachShaders(std::initializer_list<std::reference_wrapper<Shader>> shaders) protected

Attach shaders.

Convenience overload to the above, allowing the user to specify more than one shader at once. Other than that there is no other (performance) difference when using this function.

void Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram::bindAttributeLocation(UnsignedInt location, const std::string& name) protected

Bind attribute to given location.

Parameters
location Location
name Attribute name

Binds attribute to location which is used later for binding vertex buffers.

template<std::size_t size>
void Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram::bindAttributeLocation(UnsignedInt location, const char(&name)[size]) protected

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

void Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram::bindFragmentDataLocation(UnsignedInt location, const std::string& name) protected

Bind fragment data to given location and first color input index.

Parameters
location Location
name Fragment output variable name

The same as bindFragmentDataLocationIndexed(), but with index set to 0.

template<std::size_t size>
void Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram::bindFragmentDataLocation(UnsignedInt location, const char(&name)[size]) protected

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

void Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram::setTransformFeedbackOutputs(std::initializer_list<std::string> outputs, TransformFeedbackBufferMode bufferMode) protected

Specify shader outputs to be recorded in transform feedback.

Parameters
outputs Names of output variables
bufferMode Buffer mode

Binds given output variables from vertex, geometry or tessellation shader to transform feedback buffer binding points. If TransformFeedbackBufferMode::SeparateAttributes is used, each output is bound to separate binding point. If TransformFeedbackBufferMode::InterleavedAttributes is used, the outputs are interleaved into single buffer binding point. In this case, special output name gl_NextBuffer causes the following output to be recorded into next buffer binding point and gl_SkipComponents# causes the transform feedback to offset the following output variable by # components.

bool Magnum::GL::AbstractShaderProgram::link() protected

Link the shader.

Links single shader. If possible, prefer to link multiple shaders at once using link(std::initializer_list<std::reference_wrapper<AbstractShaderProgram>>) for improved performance, see its documentation for more information.
