10 | shader object and returns a non-zero value by which it can be | |
11 | referenced. A shader object is used to maintain the source code | |
12 | strings that define a shader. <em class="parameter"><code>shaderType</code></em> | |
13 | indicates the type of shader to be created. Five types of shader | |
14 | are supported. A shader of type | |
15 | <code class="constant">GL_VERTEX_SHADER</code> is a shader that is | |
16 | intended to run on the programmable vertex processor. | |
17 | A shader of type <code class="constant">GL_TESS_CONTROL_SHADER</code> is a shader that | |
18 | is intended to run on the programmable tessellation processor in the control stage. | |
19 | A shader of type <code class="constant">GL_TESS_EVALUATION_SHADER</code> is a shader that | |
20 | is intended to run on the programmable tessellation processor in the evaluation stage. | |
21 | A shader of type | |
22 | <code class="constant">GL_GEOMETRY_SHADER</code> is a shader that is intended to | |
23 | run on the programmable geometry processor. A shader of | |
24 | type <code class="constant">GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER</code> is a shader that is | |
25 | intended to run on the programmable fragment processor.</p><p>When created, a shader object's | |
26 | <code class="constant">GL_SHADER_TYPE</code> parameter is set to either | |
27 | <code class="constant">GL_VERTEX_SHADER</code>, <code class="constant">GL_TESS_CONTROL_SHADER</code>, | |
28 | <code class="constant">GL_TESS_EVALUATION_SHADER</code>, <code class="constant">GL_GEOMETRY_SHADER</code> | |
29 | or <code class="constant">GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER</code>, depending on the value | |
30 | of <em class="parameter"><code>shaderType</code></em>.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="notes"></a><h2>Notes</h2><p>Like buffer and texture objects, the name space for | |
31 | shader objects may be shared across a set of contexts, as long | |
32 | as the server sides of the contexts share the same address | |
33 | space. If the name space is shared across contexts, any attached | |
34 | objects and the data associated with those attached objects are | |
35 | shared as well.</p><p>Applications are responsible for providing the | |
36 | synchronization across API calls when objects are accessed from | |
37 | different execution threads.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="errors"></a><h2>Errors</h2><p>This function returns 0 if an error occurs creating the | |
