Pixel/Vertex Shader Programs
Author
Hi everyone,
I have a quick question about Shaders. While in DirectX you can precompile a shader into pure bytecode, I have only found glProgramStringARB where you have to supply the ascii cleartext Version of the Shader.
Is there a command to supply the precompiled ByteCode to OpenGL ?
Thx,

No. (It might be added in future by some extension but I see no reason for it.)
You should never let your fears become the boundaries of your dreams.
I confirm that. The reasoning is that (1) it makes harder for the compiler to optimize and (2) it''s all but portable.
All in all, I think they could actually do like in EXT_vertex_shader in which everything is done using symbolic constants.
Probably there''s not enough request for that.

So, can I then use generated code from, for example, Glslang and upload it into a DirectX Driver ? Or are they all too different ?

There is no way you can do that.
