ios/mac shader - shared glsl source - OptimisticMonkey - Jun 13, 2011 02:09 PM

I would like to use the same shader in my mac app as in my iOS app - the only difference is the presence of the precision qualifiers.

Is there an easy approach to #define the precision qualifiers so that I can share the same shader source for both mac and iOS?

(OSC mentioned how to do this before, but I can't remember the details)

Thanks in advance for any help
:-)

glShaderSource takes an array of strings that are concatenated together, so, on iOS, set string 0 to

Code:

#version 100

and on desktop, to

Code:

#version 110

#define highp

#define mediump

#define lowp

... and put your own source in string 1.

Where you need to declare global precision, you can use the GL_ES predefined macro to conditionalize:

Code:

#if defined(GL_ES)

precision highp float;

#endif

Thanks OSC - That worked perfectly!
