Umm, GLSL shaders arent binary files, they're just plain text files.

#version 330 core
in vec3 inPosition;
in vec3 inColor;
 
uniform mat4 mvp;
 
out vec3 outColor;
 
main (void)
{
    gl_Position = mvp * vec4(inPosition,1.0f);
    outColor = inColor;
}

And that looks like a standalone tool, not a VS plugin. Load shader files, display them, do stuff with it, save them. That's it.

Though it does looks like you can debug appliactions with it, for that you'd need your exe and point GLSL Devil to it so it can launch it. Much like CodeXL.

Hi Datahead,

i got glslDevil this weekend and as far as I understand you may generate your DEBUG version with Visual Studio and use the glslDevil to run your app.... glslDevil will monitor all GL_ calls, and you may use it to debug its values.... I think it will also load the shaders and let you step ( debug ) the shader code....

Btw.. I have no success using glsl with my application... it has something about texture loading calls.... I have no time to try a workaround or to learn glslDevl deeply... so, I will try to do it next weekend.. I will update this thread if I got some progress....
