| 6 | whether the executables contained in | |
| 7 | <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> can execute given the current | |
| 8 | OpenGL state. The information generated by the validation | |
| 9 | process will be stored in <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em>'s | |
| 10 | information log. The validation information may consist of an | |
| 11 | empty string, or it may be a string containing information about | |
| 12 | how the current program object interacts with the rest of | |
| 13 | current OpenGL state. This provides a way for OpenGL | |
| 14 | implementers to convey more information about why the current | |
| 15 | program is inefficient, suboptimal, failing to execute, and so | |
| 16 | on.</p><p>The status of the validation operation will be stored as | |
| 17 | part of the program object's state. This value will be set to | |
| 18 | <code class="constant">GL_TRUE</code> if the validation succeeded, and | |
| 19 | <code class="constant">GL_FALSE</code> otherwise. It can be queried by | |
| 20 | calling | |
| 21 | <a class="citerefentry" href="glGetProgram.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGetProgram</span></span></a> | |
| 22 | with arguments <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> and | |
| 23 | <code class="constant">GL_VALIDATE_STATUS</code>. If validation is | |
| 24 | successful, <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> is guaranteed to | |
| 25 | execute given the current state. Otherwise, | |
| 26 | <em class="parameter"><code>program</code></em> is guaranteed to not execute.</p><p>This function is typically useful only during application | |
| 27 | development. The informational string stored in the information | |
| 28 | log is completely implementation dependent; therefore, an | |
| 29 | application should not expect different OpenGL implementations | |
| 30 | to produce identical information strings.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="Notes"><a id="notes"></a><h2>Notes</h2><p>This function mimics the validation operation that OpenGL | |
| 31 | implementations must perform when rendering commands are issued | |
| 32 | while programmable shaders are part of current state. The error | |
| 33 | <code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> will be generated by | |
| 34 | any command that triggers the rendering of geometry if:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>any two active samplers in the current program | |
| 35 | object are of different types, but refer to the same | |
| 36 | texture image unit,</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>the number of active samplers in the program exceeds the maximum | |
| 37 | number of texture image units allowed.</p></li></ul></div><p>It may be difficult or cause a performance degradation for | |
| 38 | applications to catch these errors when rendering commands are | |
| 39 | issued. Therefore, applications are advised to make calls to | |
| 40 | <code class="function">glValidateProgram</code> to detect these issues | |
| 41 | during application development.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="Errors"><a id="errors"></a><h2>Errors</h2><p><code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if | |
