<div class="paragraph">
<p>This document specifies only version 3.20 of the OpenGL ES Shading Language (GLSL ES).
It requires __VERSION__ to substitute 320, and requires
<strong>#version</strong> to accept only
<code>320 es</code>.
If <strong>#version</strong> is declared with a smaller number, the language accepted is a
previous version of the shading language, which will be supported depending
on the version and type of context in the API.
See the <a href="#references">normative references</a> for details on what language
versions are supported.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Throughout, when generating SPIR-V for consumption by the Vulkan API
(see <a href="#references">normative references</a>), this will be said to be
<em>targeting Vulkan</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>While this specification and the OpenGL ES Specification are normative for OpenGL ES Shading Language, for
SPIR-V generation it is still the SPIR-V specification and the SPIR-V client
API specification that are normative for the generated SPIR-V.
See the <a href="#references">normative references</a> for further detail.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For SPIR-V generation, the SPIR-V client API specifies the commands used to
manipulate SPIR-V shaders.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Independent offline tool chains will compile GLSL ES down to the SPIR-V
intermediate language.
SPIR-V generation is not enabled with a <strong>#extension</strong>, <strong>#version</strong>, or a
profile.
Instead, use of GLSL ES for SPIR-V is determined by offline tool-chain use.
See the documentation of such tools to see how to request generation of
SPIR-V for its client API.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>GLSL ES &#8594; SPIR-V compilers must be directed as to what SPIR-V <strong>Capabilities</strong>
are legal at run-time and give errors for GLSL ES feature use outside those
capabilities.
This is also true for implementation-dependent limits that can be error
checked by the front-end against built-in constants present in the GLSL ES
source: the front-end can be informed of such limits, and report errors when
they are exceeded.</p>

<h3 id="overview">1.2. Overview</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This document describes <em>The OpenGL ES Shading Language, version 3.20</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Independent compilation units written in this language are called <em>shaders</em>.
A <em>program</em> is a set of shaders that are compiled and linked
together.
The aim of this document is to thoroughly specify the programming language.
The <a href="#references">normative references</a> will specify the API entry points
used to manipulate and communicate with programs and shaders.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="error-handling">1.3. Error Handling</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Compilers, in general, accept programs that are ill-formed, due to the
impossibility of detecting all ill-formed programs.
Portability is only ensured for well-formed programs, which this
specification describes.
Compilers are encouraged to detect ill-formed programs and issue diagnostic
messages, but are not required to do so for all cases.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The compilation process is implementation-dependent but is generally split
into a number of stages, each of which occurs at one of the following times:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>A call to <em>glCompileShader</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A call to <em>glLinkProgram</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A draw call or a call to <em>glValidateProgram</em></p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The implementation should report errors as early a possible but in any case
must satisfy the following:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>All lexical, grammatical and semantic errors must have been detected
following a call to <em>glLinkProgram</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Errors due to mismatch between the shaders (link-time errors) must have
been detected following a call to <em>glLinkProgram</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Errors due to exceeding resource limits must have been detected
following any draw call or a call to <em>glValidateProgram</em></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A call to <em>glValidateProgram</em> must report all errors associated with a
program object given the current GL state.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Where the specification uses the terms <em>required</em>, <em>must</em>/<em>must</em> <em>not</em>,
<em>does</em>/<em>does</em> <em>not</em>, <em>disallowed</em>, or <em>not</em> <em>supported</em>, the compiler or
linker is required to detect and report any violations.
Similarly when a condition or situation is an <strong>error</strong>, it must be reported.
Use of any feature marked as <em>reserved</em> is an error.
Where the specification uses the terms <em>should</em>/<em>should</em> <em>not</em>, <em>undefined</em>
<em>behavior</em>, <em>undefined</em> <em>value</em> or <em>undefined</em> <em>*results*</em>, implementations
will not produce a compile-time error but are encouraged to issue a warning
for violations.
The run-time behavior of the program in these cases is not constrained (and
so may include termination or system instability).
It is expected that systems will be designed to handle these cases
gracefully but specification of this is outside the scope of this
specification.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Implementations may not in general support functionality beyond the mandated
parts of the specification without use of the relevant extension.
The only exceptions are:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>If a feature is marked as optional.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Where a maximum value is stated (e.g. the maximum number of vertex
outputs), the implementation may support a higher value than that
specified.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Where the implementation supports more than the mandated specification,
off-target compilers are encouraged to issue warnings if these features are
used.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The compilation process is split between the compiler and linker.
The allocation of tasks between the compiler and linker is implementation
dependent.
Consequently there are many errors which may be detected either at compile
or link time, depending on the implementation.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="typographical-conventions">1.4. Typographical Conventions</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Italic, bold, and font choices have been used in this specification
primarily to improve readability.
Code fragments use a fixed width font.
Identifiers embedded in text are italicized.
Keywords embedded in text are bold.
Operators are called by their name, followed by their symbol in bold in
parentheses.
The clarifying grammar fragments in the text use bold for literals and
italics for non-terminals.
The official grammar in &#8220;<a href="#shading-language-grammar">Shading Language
Grammar</a>&#8221; uses all capitals for terminals and lower case for
non-terminals.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="compatibility">1.5. Compatibility</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The OpenGL ES 3.2 API is designed to work with GLSL ES v1.00,
GLSL ES 3.00, GLSL ES 3.10 and GLSL ES 3.20.
In general a shader written for versions prior to OpenGL ES 3.2
should work without modification in OpenGL ES 3.2.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When porting applications from an earlier to later version of the GLSL ES,
the following points should be noted:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Not all language constructs present in earlier versions of the language
are available in later versions e.g. attribute and varying qualifiers
are present in v1.00 but not v3.00.
However, the functionality of GLSL ES 3.20 is a super-set of
GLSL ES 3.10.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Some features of later versions of the API require language features
that are not present in earlier version of the language.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It is an error to link shaders if they are written in different versions
of the language.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 APIs do not support shaders written in GLSL ES
3.20.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Using GLSL ES 1.00 shaders within OpenGL ES 3.x may extend the resources
available beyond the minima specified in GLSL ES 1.0.
Shaders which make use of this will not necessarily run on an OpenGL ES
2.0 implementation: Similarly for GLSL ES 3.00 shaders running within
OpenGL ES 3.2.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Support of line continuation and support of UTF-8 characters within
comments is optional in GLSL ES 1.00 when used with the OpenGL ES 2.0
API.
However, support is mandated for both of these when a GLSL ES 1.00
shader is used with the OpenGL ES 3.x APIs.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="overview-of-opengl-shading">2. Overview of Shading</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The OpenGL ES Shading Language is actually several closely related languages.
These languages are used to create shaders for each of the programmable
processors contained in the API&#8217;s processing pipeline.
Currently, these processors are the vertex, tessellation control,
tessellation evaluation, geometry, fragment, and compute processors.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Compilation units for these processors are referred to as <em>shaders</em> and the
processors themselves are also referred to as <em>shader stages</em>.
Only one shader can be run on a processor at any one time; there is no
support for linking multiple compilation units together for a single shader
stage.
One or more shaders are linked together to form a single program and each
program contains shader <em>executables</em> for one or more consecutive shader
stages.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Unless otherwise noted in this paper, a language feature applies to all
languages, and common usage will refer to these languages as a single
language.
The specific languages will be referred to by the name of the processor they
target: vertex, tessellation control, tessellation evaluation, geometry,
fragment, or compute.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Most API state is not tracked or made available to shaders.
Typically, user-defined variables will be used for communicating between
different stages of the API pipeline.
However, a small amount of state is still tracked and automatically made
available to shaders, and there are a few built-in variables for interfaces
between different stages of the API pipeline.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="vertex-processor">2.1. Vertex Processor</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <em>vertex processor</em> is a programmable unit that operates on incoming
vertices and their associated data.
Compilation units written in the OpenGL ES Shading Language to run on this processor are called
<em>vertex shaders</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The vertex processor operates on one vertex at a time.
It does not replace graphics operations that require knowledge of several
vertices at a time.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="tessellation-control-processor">2.2. Tessellation Control Processor</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <em>tessellation control processor</em> is a programmable unit that operates on
a patch of incoming vertices and their associated data, emitting a new
output patch.
Compilation units written in the OpenGL ES Shading Language to run on this processor are called
tessellation control shaders.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The tessellation control shader is invoked for each vertex of the output
patch.
Each invocation can read the attributes of any vertex in the input or output
patches, but can only write per-vertex attributes for the corresponding
output patch vertex.

<p>The <strong>extension</strong> directive is a simple, low-level mechanism to set the

It does not define policies such as which combinations are appropriate,
those must be defined elsewhere.
Order of directives matters in setting the behavior for each extension:
Directives that occur later override those seen earlier.

previously issued <strong>extension</strong> directives, but only for the <em>behaviors</em>

compilation unit, in which case each involved shader will have to contain

<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="static-use">3.9.1. Static Use</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A shader contains a <em>static use</em> of a variable <em>x</em> if, after preprocessing,
the shader contains a statement that would access any part of <em>x</em>,
whether or not flow of control will cause that statement to be executed.
Such a variable is referred to as being <em>statically used</em>. If the access is a
write then <em>x</em> is further said to be <em>statically assigned</em>.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="uniform-and-non-uniform-control-flow">3.9.2. Uniform and Non-Uniform Control Flow</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When executing statements in a fragment shader, control flow starts as
<em>uniform control flow</em>; all fragments enter the same control path into
<em>main()</em>.
Control flow becomes <em>non-uniform</em> when different fragments take different
paths through control-flow statements (selection, iteration, and jumps).
Control flow subsequently returns to being uniform after such divergent
sub-statements or skipped code completes, until the next time different
control paths are taken.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++">main()
{
<span class="predefined-type">float</span> a = ...; <span class="comment">// this is uniform control flow</span>
<span class="keyword">if</span> (a &lt; b) { <span class="comment">// this expression is true for some fragments, not all</span>
...; <span class="comment">// non-uniform control flow</span>
} <span class="keyword">else</span> {
...; <span class="comment">// non-uniform control flow</span>
}
...; <span class="comment">// uniform control flow again</span>
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Other examples of non-uniform control flow can occur within switch
statements and after conditional breaks, continues, early returns, and after
fragment discards, when the condition is true for some fragments but not
others.
Loop iterations that only some fragments execute are also non-uniform
control flow.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This is similarly defined for other shader stages, based on the per-instance
data items they process.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="dynamically-uniform-expressions">3.9.3. Dynamically Uniform Expressions</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A fragment-shader expression is <em>dynamically uniform</em> if all fragments
evaluating it get the same resulting value.
When loops are involved, this refers to the expression&#8217;s value for the same
loop iteration.
When functions are involved, this refers to calls from the same call point.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This is similarly defined for other shader stages, based on the per-instance
data they process.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that constant expressions are trivially dynamically uniform.
It follows that typical loop counters based on these are also dynamically
uniform.</p>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="logical-phases-of-compilation">3.10. Logical Phases of Compilation</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The compilation units for the shader processors are processed separately
before optionally being linked together in the final stage of compilation.
The logical phases of compilation are:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>Source strings are input as byte sequences.
The value 'zero' is interpreted as a terminator.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Source strings are concatenated to form a single input.
Zero bytes are discarded but all other values are retained.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Each string is interpreted according to the UTF-8 standard, with the
exception that all invalid byte sequences are retained in their original
form for subsequent processing.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Each {carriage-return, line-feed} and {line-feed, carriage return}
sequence is replaced by a single newline.
All remaining carriage-return and line-feed characters are then each
replaced by a newline.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Line numbering for each character, which is equal to the number of
preceding newlines plus one, is noted.
Note this can only be subsequently changed by the #line directive and is
not affected by the removal of newlines in phase 6 of compilation.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Wherever a backslash ('\') occurs immediately before a newline, both are
deleted.
Note that no whitespace is substituted, thereby allowing a single
preprocessing token to span a newline.
This operation is not recursive; any new {backslash newline} sequences
generated are not removed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>All comments are replaced with a single space.
All (non-zero) characters and invalid UTF-8 byte sequences are allowed
within comments.
'//' style comments include the initial '//' marker and continue up to,
but not including, the terminating newline.
'/<strong>&#8230;&#8203;</strong>/' comments include both the start and end marker.</p>
</li>

<p>The scope of a declaration determines where the declaration is visible.
GLSL ES uses a system of statically nested scopes.
This allows names to be redefined within a shader.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="definition-of-terms">4.2.1. Definition of Terms</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The term <em>scope</em> refers to a specified region of the program where names are
guaranteed to be visible.
For example, a <em>compound_statement_with_scope</em> ('{' <em>statement</em> <em>statement</em>
&#8230;&#8203;
'}') defines a scope.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A <em>nested scope</em> is a scope defined within an outer scope.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The terms '<em>same scope'</em> and '<em>current scope</em>' are equivalent to the term
'<em>scope</em>' but used to emphasize that nested scopes are excluded.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <em>scope of a declaration</em> is the region or regions of the program where
that declaration is visible.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A <em>name space</em> defines where names may be defined.
Within a single name space, a name has at most one entry, specifying it to
be one of: structure, variable, or function.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In general, each scope has an associated name space.
However, in certain cases e.g. for uniforms, multiple scopes share the same
name space.
In these cases, conflicting declarations are an error, even though the name
is only visible in the scopes where it is declared.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="types-of-scope">4.2.2. Types of Scope</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The scope of a variable is determined by where it is declared.
If it is declared outside all function definitions, it has global scope,
which starts from where it is declared and persists to the end of the shader
it is declared in.
If it is declared in a <strong>while</strong> test or a <strong>for</strong> statement, then it is scoped
to the end of the following sub-statement (specified as
<em>statement-no-new-scope</em> in the grammar).
Otherwise, if it is declared as a statement within a compound statement, it
is scoped to the end of that compound statement.
If it is declared as a parameter in a function definition, it is scoped
until the end of that function definition.
A function&#8217;s parameter declarations and body together form a single scope.</p>

Function names can be redeclared in the same scope, with the same or

Otherwise, within a shader, a declared name cannot be redeclared in the same

If a nested scope redeclares a name used in an outer scope, it hides all
existing uses of that name.
There is no way to access the hidden name or make it unhidden, without

There is an implementation-dependent limit on the number of locations that
can be used, and if this is exceeded it will cause a link-time error.
(Declared input variables that are not statically used do not count against
this limit.) A scalar input counts the same amount against this limit as a

Since tessellation control, tessellation evaluation, and geometry shaders

For example,</p>

<p>Some inputs and outputs are <em>arrayed</em>, meaning that for an interface between
two shader stages either the input or output declaration requires an extra
level of array indexing for the declarations to match.
For example, with the interface between a vertex shader and a geometry
shader, vertex shader output variables and geometry shader input variables
of the same name must have matching types, except that the geometry shader
will have one more array dimension than the vertex shader, to allow for
vertex indexing.
If such an arrayed interface variable is not declared with the necessary
additional input or output array dimension, a link-time error will result.
Geometry shader inputs, tessellation control shader inputs and outputs, and
tessellation evaluation inputs all have an additional level of arrayness
relative to other shader inputs and outputs.
These inputs and outputs are known as <em>per-vertex-arrayed</em> inputs and
outputs.
Component limits for arrayed interfaces (e.g.
<em>gl_MaxTessControlInputComponents</em>) are limits per vertex, not limits for

Per-patch inputs may be declared as one-dimensional arrays, but are not

Applying the <strong>patch</strong> qualifier to inputs can only be done in tessellation

course, differ (one is <strong>in</strong> and one is <strong>out</strong>).
Also,
auxiliary qualification (e.g. <strong>centroid</strong>) may differ.

<p>The block name (<em>block-name</em>) is used to match within shader interfaces: an
output block of one pipeline stage will be matched to an input block with
the same name in the subsequent pipeline stage.
For uniform or shader storage blocks, the application uses the block name to
identify the block.
Block names have no other use within a shader beyond interface matching; it
is an error
to use a block name at global scope for anything other than as a
block name (e.g. use of a block name for a global variable name or function
name is currently reserved).
It is a compile-time error to use the same block name for more than one
block declaration in the same shader interface (as defined above) within one

Matched uniform or shader storage block names (but not input or output block
names) must also either all be lacking an instance name or all having an
instance name, putting their members at the same scoping level.
When instance names are present on matched block names, it is allowed for
the instance names to differ; they need not match for the blocks to match.
Furthermore, if a matching block is declared as an array, then the array
sizes must also match (or follow array matching rules for the shader
interface between consecutive shader stages).
Any mismatch will generate a link-time error.
A block name is allowed to have different definitions in different shader
interfaces within the same shader, allowing, for example, an input block and
output block to have the same name.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If an instance name (<em>instance-name</em>) is not used, the names declared inside
the block are scoped at the global level and accessed as if they were
declared outside the block.
If an instance name (<em>instance-name</em>) is used, then it puts all the members
inside a scope within its own name space, accessed with the field selector
(<strong>.</strong>) operator (analogously to structures).

<p>will establish that the shader input <em>normal</em> is assigned to vector location
number
3.
For vertex shader inputs, the location specifies the number of the
vertex attribute from which input values are taken.
For inputs of all other shader types, the location specifies a vector number
that can be used to match against outputs from a previous shader stage, even
if that shader is in a different program object.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The following language describes how many locations are consumed by a given
type.
However, geometry shader inputs, tessellation control shader inputs and
outputs, and tessellation evaluation inputs all have an additional level of
arrayness relative to other shader inputs and outputs.
This outer array level is removed from the type before considering how many
locations the type consumes.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If a shader input is any scalar or vector type, it will consume a single
location.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the declared input (after potentially removing an outer array level as
just described above) is an array of size <em>n</em> and each of the elements takes
<em>m</em> locations, it will be assigned <em>m</em> * <em>n</em> consecutive locations starting
with the location specified.
For example,</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++">layout(location = <span class="integer">6</span>) in vec4 colors[<span class="integer">3</span>];</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>will establish that the shader input <em>colors</em> is assigned to vector location
numbers 6, 7, and 8.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the declared input is an <em>n</em> × <em>m</em>
matrix, it will be assigned multiple locations starting with the location
specified.
The number of locations assigned for each matrix will be the same as for an
<em>n</em>-element array of <em>m</em>-component vectors.
For example,</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++">layout(location = <span class="integer">9</span>) in mat4 transforms[<span class="integer">2</span>];</code></pre>

locations 9-16, with <em>transforms[0]</em> being assigned to locations 9-12, and
<em>transforms[1]</em> being assigned to locations 13-16.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the declared input is a structure or block, its members will be assigned
consecutive locations in their order of declaration, with the first member
assigned the location provided in the layout qualifier.
For a structure, this process applies to the entire structure.
It is a compile-time error to use a <strong>location</strong> qualifier on a member of a
structure.
For a block, this process applies to the entire block, or until the first
member is reached that has a <strong>location</strong> layout qualifier.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When a block member is declared with a <strong>location</strong> qualifier, its location
comes from that qualifier; the member&#8217;s <strong>location</strong> qualifier overrides the
block-level declaration.
Subsequent members are again assigned consecutive locations, based on the
newest location, until the next member declared with a <strong>location</strong> qualifier.
The values used for locations do not have to be declared in increasing
order.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If a block has no block-level <strong>location</strong> layout qualifier, it is required
that either all or none of its members have a <strong>location</strong> layout qualifier,
or a compile-time error results.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If an input is declared as an array of blocks, excluding per-vertex-arrays
as required for tessellation, it is an error to declare a member of the
block with a <strong>location</strong> qualifier.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When generating SPIR-V, all <strong>in</strong> and <strong>out</strong> qualified user-declared (non
built-in) variables and blocks (or all their members) must have a
shader-specified <strong>location</strong>.
Otherwise, a compile-time error is generated.</p>
</div>

<p>The locations consumed by block and structure members are determined by
applying the rules above recursively as though the structure member were

optimizations are able to make the program fit within available hardware
resources.</p>

<p>The <strong>binding</strong> qualifier specifies the uniform buffer binding point

It is a compile-time error to specify the <strong>binding</strong> qualifier for the global

It is an error to apply <strong>set</strong> to a block qualified as <strong>push_constant</strong>.
By default, any non-push-constant uniform or shader storage block declared

<p>When targeting Vulkan, the <strong>offset</strong> and <strong>align</strong> qualifiers for blocks and

When not targeting Vulkan, they cannot be used with blocks or block members.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <strong>offset</strong> qualifier can only be used on block members.
The <strong>offset</strong> qualifier forces the qualified member to start at or after the
specified <em>layout-qualifier-value</em>, which will be its byte offset from
the beginning of the buffer.
It is a compile-time error to have any offset, explicit or assigned, that
lies within another member of the block.
Two blocks linked together in the same program with the same block name must
have the exact same set of members qualified with <strong>offset</strong> and their
<em>layout-qualifier-value</em> values must be the same, or a link-time error
results.
The specified offset must be a multiple of the base alignment of the type of
the block member it qualifies, or a compile-time error results.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <strong>align</strong> qualifier makes the start of each block member have a minimum
byte alignment.
It does not affect the internal layout within each member, which will still
follow the <strong>std140</strong> or <strong>std430</strong> rules.
The specified alignment must be greater than 0 and a power of 2, or a
compile-time error results.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <em>actual alignment</em> of a member will be the greater of the specified
<strong>align</strong> alignment and the standard (e.g. <strong>std140</strong>) base alignment for the
member&#8217;s type.
The <em>actual offset</em> of a member is computed as follows: If <strong>offset</strong> was
declared, start with that offset, otherwise start with the offset immediately
following the preceding member (in declaration order).
If the resulting offset is not a multiple of the <em>actual alignment</em>,
increase it to the first offset that is a multiple of the <em>actual
alignment</em>.
This results in the <em>actual offset</em> the member will have.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When <strong>align</strong> is applied to an array, it affects only the start of the array,
not the array&#8217;s internal stride.
Both an <strong>offset</strong> and an <strong>align</strong> qualifier can be specified on a declaration.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <strong>align</strong> qualifier, when used on a block, has the same effect as
qualifying each member with the same <strong>align</strong> value as declared on the block,
and gets the same compile-time results and errors as if this had been done.
As described in general earlier, an individual member can specify its own
<strong>align</strong>, which overrides the block-level <strong>align</strong>, but just for that member.</p>

Because the location at which the variable is interpolated may be different
in neighboring pixels, and derivatives may be computed by computing
differences between neighboring pixels, derivatives of centroid-sampled
inputs may be less accurate than those for non-centroid interpolated
variables.
If a fragment shader input is qualified with <strong>sample</strong>, a separate value must

<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this section, <em>variance</em> refers to the possibility of getting different
values from the same expression in different programs.
For example, consider the situation where two vertex shaders, in different
programs, each set <em>gl_Position</em> with the same expression, and the input
values into that expression are the same when both shaders run.
It is possible, due to independent compilation of the two shaders, that the
values assigned to <em>gl_Position</em> are not exactly the same when the two
shaders run.
In this example, this can cause problems with alignment of geometry in a
multi-pass algorithm.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In general, such variance between shaders is allowed.
When such variance does not exist for a particular output variable, that
variable is said to be <em>invariant</em>.</p>

<p>To ensure that a particular output variable is invariant, it is necessary to
use the <strong>invariant</strong> qualifier.

invariant:</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Only variables output from a shader can be candidates for invariance.
This includes user-defined output variables and the built-in output
variables.
As only outputs can be declared as invariant, an output from one shader
stage will still match an input of a subsequent stage without the input
being declared as invariant.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <strong>invariant</strong> keyword can be followed by a comma separated list of
previously declared identifiers.
All uses of <strong>invariant</strong> must be at global scope or on block
members, and before any use of the variables being declared as invariant.</p>

<p>To guarantee invariance of a particular output variable across two programs,
the following must also be true:</p>

<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>The output variable is declared as invariant in both programs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The same values must be input to all shader input variables consumed by
expressions and control flow contributing to the value assigned to the
output variable.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The texture formats, texel values, and texture filtering are set the
same way for any texture function calls contributing to the value of the
output variable.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>All input values are all operated on in the same way.
All operations in the consuming expressions and any intermediate
expressions must be the same, with the same order of operands and same
associativity, to give the same order of evaluation.
Intermediate variables and functions must be declared as the same type
with the same explicit or implicit precision
qualifiers and the same constant qualifiers.
Any control flow affecting the output value must be the same, and any
expressions consumed to determine this control flow must also follow
these invariance rules.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>All the data flow and control flow leading to setting the invariant
output variable reside in a single compilation unit.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Essentially, all the data flow and control flow leading to an invariant
output must match.</p>

<p>before all declarations in a shader.
If this pragma is used after the declaration of any variables or functions,
then the set of outputs that behave as invariant is undefined.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Generally, invariance is ensured at the cost of flexibility in optimization,
so performance can be degraded by use of invariance.
Hence, use of this pragma is intended as a debug aid, to avoid individually
declaring all output variables as invariant.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>When a value is stored in a variable, it is usually assumed it will remain
constant unless explicitly changed.
However, during the process of optimization, it is possible that the
compiler may choose to recompute a value rather than store it in a register.
Since the precision of operations is not completely specified (e.g. a low
precision operation may be done at medium or high precision), it would be
possible for the recomputed value to be different from the original value.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Values are allowed to be variant within a shader.
To prevent this, the invariant qualifier or invariant pragma must be used.</p>

<p>Some algorithms require floating-point computations to exactly follow the
order of operations specified in the source code and to treat all operations
consistently, even if the implementation supports optimizations that could
produce nearly equivalent results with higher performance.
For example, many GL implementations support a &#8220;multiply-add&#8221; instruction
that can compute a floating-point expression such as</p>

<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++">result = (a * b) + (c * d);</code></pre>
</div>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>in two operations instead of three operations; one multiply and one
multiply-add instead of two multiplies and one add.
The result of a floating-point multiply-add might not always be identical to
first doing a multiply yielding a floating-point result and then doing a
floating-point add.
Hence, in this example, the two multiply operations would not be treated
consistently; the two multiplies could effectively appear to have differing
precisions.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The key computation that needs to be made consistent appears when
tessellating, where intermediate points for subdivision are synthesized in
different directions, yet need to yield the same result, as shown in the

<p>As stated in &#8220;<a href="#evaluation-of-expressions">Evaluation of Expressions</a>&#8221;,
the compiler may transform expressions even if this changes the resulting
value.
Without any qualifiers, implementations are permitted to perform
optimizations that effectively modify the order or number of operations used
to evaluate an expression, even if those optimizations may produce slightly
different results relative to unoptimized code.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <strong>precise</strong> qualifier ensures that operations contributing to a
variable&#8217;s value are done in their stated order and with operator consistency.
The order is determined by operator precedence and parenthesis, as described in
&#8220;<a href="#operators">Operators</a>&#8221;.
Operator consistency means for each particular operator, for example the
multiply operator (<strong>*</strong>), its operation is always computed with the same
precision.
Specifically, values computed by compiler-generated code must adhere to the
following identities:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>a + b = b + a</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>a * b = b * a</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>a * b + c * d = b * a + c* d = d * c + b * a = &lt;any other mathematically
valid combination&gt;</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>While the following are prevented:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>a + (b + c) is not allowed to become (a + b) + c</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>a * (b * c) is not allowed to become (a * b) * c</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>a * b + c is not allowed to become a single operation <strong>fma</strong>(a, b, c)</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Where <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>, and <em>d</em>, are scalars or vectors, not matrices.
(Matrix multiplication generally does not commute.) It is the shader
writer&#8217;s responsibility to express the computation in terms of these rules
and the compiler&#8217;s responsibility to follow these rules.
See the description of <em>gl_TessCoord</em> for the rules the tessellation stages
are responsible for following, which in conjunction with the above allow
avoiding cracking when subdividing.</p>

operators being treated consistently.
As with the <strong>invariant</strong> qualifier (see &#8220;<a href="#the-invariant-qualifier">The

<p>When applied to a block, a structure type, or a variable of structure type,
<strong>precise</strong> applies to each contained member, recursively.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This qualifier will affect the evaluation of an r-value in a particular
function if and only if the result is eventually consumed in the same
function by an l-value qualified as <strong>precise</strong>.
Any other expressions within a function are not affected, including return
values and output parameters not declared as <strong>precise</strong> but that are
eventually consumed outside the function by a variable qualified as
<strong>precise</strong>. Unaffected expressions also include the controlling expressions
in selection and iteration statements and the condition in ternary

<p>When accessing memory using variables not declared as <strong>coherent</strong>, the memory
accessed by a shader may be cached by the implementation to service future
accesses to the same address.
Memory stores may be cached in such a way that the values written may not be
visible to other shader invocations accessing the same memory.
The implementation may cache the values fetched by memory reads and return
the same values to any shader invocation accessing the same memory, even if
the underlying memory has been modified since the first memory read.
While variables not declared as <strong>coherent</strong> may not be useful for
communicating between shader invocations, using non-coherent accesses may
result in higher performance.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Memory accesses to image variables declared using the <strong>volatile</strong> qualifier
must treat the underlying memory as though it could be read or written at
any point during shader execution by some source other than the executing
shader invocation.
When a volatile variable is read, its value must be re-fetched from the
underlying memory, even if the shader invocation performing the read had
previously fetched its value from the same memory.
When a volatile variable is written, its value must be written to the
underlying memory, even if the compiler can conclusively determine that its
value will be overwritten by a subsequent write.
Since the external source reading or writing a <strong>volatile</strong> variable may be
another shader invocation, variables declared as <strong>volatile</strong> are
automatically treated as coherent.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Memory accesses to image variables declared using the <strong>restrict</strong> qualifier
may be compiled assuming that the variable used to perform the memory access
is the only way to access the underlying memory using the shader stage in
question.
This allows the compiler to coalesce or reorder loads and stores using
<strong>restrict</strong>-qualified image variables in ways that wouldn&#8217;t be permitted
for image variables not so qualified, because the compiler can assume that
the underlying image won&#8217;t be read or written by other code.
Applications are responsible for ensuring that image memory referenced by
variables qualified with <strong>restrict</strong> will not be referenced using other
variables in the same scope; otherwise, accesses to <strong>restrict</strong>-qualified
variables will have undefined results.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Memory accesses to image variables declared using the <strong>readonly</strong> qualifier
may only read the underlying memory, which is treated as read-only memory
and cannot be written to.
It is an error to pass an image variable qualified with
<strong>readonly</strong> to <strong>imageStore</strong>() or other built-in functions that modify image
memory.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Memory accesses to image variables declared using the <strong>writeonly</strong> qualifier
may only write the underlying memory; the underlying memory cannot be read.
It is an error to pass an image variable qualified with
<strong>writeonly</strong> to <strong>imageLoad</strong>() or other built-in functions that read image
memory.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A variable could be qualified as both <strong>readonly</strong> and <strong>writeonly</strong>, disallowing
both read and write. Such variables can still be used with some queries, for
example <strong>imageSize</strong>() and <strong>.length</strong>().</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Except for image variables qualified with the format qualifiers <strong>r32f</strong>,
<strong>r32i</strong>, and <strong>r32ui</strong>, image variables must specify a memory qualifier

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The memory qualifiers <strong>coherent</strong>, <strong>volatile</strong>, <strong>restrict</strong>, <strong>readonly</strong>, and
<strong>writeonly</strong> may be used in the declaration of buffer variables (i.e.,
members of shader storage blocks).
When a buffer variable is declared with a memory qualifier, the behavior
specified for memory accesses involving image variables described above
applies identically to memory accesses involving that buffer variable.
It is a compile-time error to assign to a buffer variable qualified with
<strong>readonly</strong> or to read from a buffer variable qualified with <strong>writeonly</strong>.
The combination <strong>readonly</strong> <strong>writeonly</strong> is allowed.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Additionally, memory qualifiers may be used at the block-level declaration
of a shader storage block, including the combination <strong>readonly</strong> <strong>writeonly</strong>.
When a block declaration is qualified with a memory qualifier, it is as if
all of its members were declared with the same memory qualifier.

<p>The above makes a specialization constant with a default value of 12.
The number 17 is an example author-chosen id by which the API or other tools

12.
It is a compile-time error to use the <strong>constant_id</strong> qualifier on anything

<div class="paragraph">
<p>This leaves <em>gl_WorkGroupSize.y</em> as a non-specialization constant, with

<h4 id="vector-and-matrix-constructors">5.4.2. Vector and Matrix Constructors</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Constructors can be used to create vectors or matrices from a set of
scalars, vectors, or matrices.
This includes the ability to shorten vectors.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If there is a single scalar parameter to a vector constructor, it is used to
initialize all components of the constructed vector to that scalar&#8217;s value.
If there is a single scalar parameter to a matrix constructor, it is used to
initialize all the components on the matrix&#8217;s diagonal, with the remaining
components initialized to 0.0.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If a vector is constructed from multiple scalars, one or more vectors, or
one or more matrices, or a mixture of these, the vector&#8217;s components will be
constructed in order from the components of the arguments.
The arguments will be consumed left to right, and each argument will have
all its components consumed, in order, before any components from the next
argument are consumed.
Similarly for constructing a matrix from multiple scalars or vectors, or a
mixture of these.
Matrix components will be constructed and consumed in column major order.
In these cases, there must be enough components provided in the arguments to
provide an initializer for every component in the constructed value.
It is an error to provide extra arguments beyond this last used
argument.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If a matrix is constructed from a matrix, then each component (column <em>i</em>,
row <em>j</em>) in the result that has a corresponding component (column <em>i</em>, row
<em>j</em>) in the argument will be initialized from there.
All other components will be initialized to the identity matrix.
If a matrix argument is given to a matrix constructor, it is
an error to have any other arguments.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the basic type (<strong>bool</strong>, <strong>int</strong>,
or <strong>float</strong>)
of a parameter to a
constructor does not match the basic type of the object being constructed,
the scalar construction rules (above) are used to convert the parameters.</p>

<p>The arithmetic binary operators add (<strong>+</strong>), subtract (<strong>-</strong>), multiply
(<strong>*</strong>), and divide (<strong>/</strong>) operate on integer and floating-point scalars,
vectors, and matrices.
If the operands are integral types, they must both be signed or both be
unsigned.
All arithmetic binary operators result in the same fundamental type
(signed integer, unsigned integer, or floating-point) as the operands
they operate on.
The following cases are valid</p>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>The two operands are scalars.
In this case the operation is applied, resulting in a scalar.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>One operand is a scalar, and the other is a vector or matrix.
In this case, the scalar operation is applied independently to each
component of the vector or matrix, resulting in the same size vector or

<li>
<p>The two operands are vectors of the same size.
In this case, the operation is done component-wise resulting in the

<li>
<p>The operator is multiply (<strong>*</strong>), where both operands are matrices or one
operand is a vector and the other a matrix.
A right vector operand is treated as a column vector and a left vector
operand as a row vector.
In all these cases, it is required that the number of columns of the
left operand is equal to the number of rows of the right operand.
Then, the multiply (<strong>*</strong>) operation does a linear algebraic multiply,
yielding an object that has the same number of rows as the left operand
and the same number of columns as the right operand.

<p>The operator modulus (<strong>%</strong>) operates on signed or unsigned integers or
integer vectors.
The operand types must both be signed or both be unsigned.
The operands cannot be vectors of differing size; this is
an error.
If one operand is a scalar and the other vector, then the scalar is
applied component-wise to the vector, resulting in the same type as the
vector.
If both are vectors of the same size, the result is computed
component-wise.
The resulting value is undefined for any component computed with a
second operand that is zero, while results for other components with
non-zero second operands remain defined.
If both operands are non-negative, then the remainder is non-negative.
Results are undefined if one or both operands are negative.
The operator modulus (<strong>%</strong>) is not defined for any other data types
(non-integer types).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The arithmetic unary operators negate (<strong>-</strong>), post- and pre-increment and
decrement (<strong>--</strong> and <strong>++</strong>) operate on integer or floating-point values
(including vectors and matrices).
All unary operators work component-wise on their operands.
These result with the same type they operated on.
For post- and pre-increment and decrement, the expression must be a writable
l-value.
Pre-increment and pre-decrement add or subtract 1 or 1.0 to the contents
of the expression they operate on, and the value of the pre-increment or
pre-decrement expression is the resulting value of that modification.
Post-increment and post-decrement expressions add or subtract 1 or 1.0
to the contents of the expression they operate on, but the resulting
expression has the expression&#8217;s value before the post-increment or
post-decrement was executed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The relational operators greater than (<strong>&gt;</strong>), less than (<strong>&lt;</strong>), greater
than or equal (<strong>&gt;=</strong>), and less than or equal (<strong>&lt;=</strong>) operate only on
scalar integer and scalar floating-point expressions.
The result is scalar Boolean.
The types of the operands must match.
To do component-wise relational comparisons on vectors, use the built-in
functions <strong>lessThan</strong>, <strong>lessThanEqual</strong>, <strong>greaterThan</strong>, and
<strong>greaterThanEqual.</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The equality operators <strong>equal</strong> (<strong>==</strong>), and not equal (<strong>!=</strong>) operate on
all types except opaque types.
They result in a scalar Boolean.
The types of the operands must match.
For vectors, matrices, structures, and arrays, all components, members,
or elements of one operand must equal the corresponding components,
members, or elements in the other operand for the operands to be
considered equal.
To get a vector of component-wise equality results for vectors, use the
built-in functions <strong>equal</strong> and <strong>notEqual</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The logical binary operators and (<strong>&amp;&amp;</strong>), or (<strong>||</strong>), and exclusive or
(<strong>^^</strong>) operate only on two Boolean expressions and result in a Boolean
expression.
And (<strong>&amp;&amp;</strong>) will only evaluate the right hand operand if the left hand
operand evaluated to <strong>true</strong>.
Or (<strong>||</strong>) will only evaluate the right hand operand if the left hand
operand evaluated to <strong>false</strong>.
Exclusive or (<strong>^^</strong>) will always evaluate both operands.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The logical unary operator not (<strong>!</strong>).
It operates only on a Boolean expression and results in a Boolean
expression.
To operate on a vector, use the built-in function <strong>not</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The sequence (<strong>,</strong>) operator that operates on expressions by returning
the type and value of the right-most expression in a comma separated
list of expressions.
All expressions are evaluated, in order, from left to right.
The operands to the sequence operator may have <strong>void</strong> type.
Opaque types cannot be used with the sequence (,) operator.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The ternary selection operator (<strong>?:</strong>).
It operates on three expressions (<em>exp1</em> <strong>?</strong> <em>exp2</em> <strong>:</strong> <em>exp3</em>).
This operator evaluates the first expression, which must result in a
scalar Boolean.
If the result is true, it selects to evaluate the second expression,
otherwise it selects to evaluate the third expression.
Only one of the second and third expressions is evaluated.
The second and third expressions cannot be opaque types,
or there will be an error.
Otherwise,
the second and third expressions can be any type, including <strong>void</strong>, as
long their types match.
This resulting matching type is the type of the entire expression.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The one&#8217;s complement operator (<strong>~</strong>).
The operand must be of type signed or unsigned integer or integer
vector, and the result is the one&#8217;s complement of its operand; each bit
of each component is complemented, including any sign bits.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The shift operators (<strong>&lt;&lt;</strong>) and (<strong>&gt;&gt;</strong>).
For both operators, the operands must be signed or unsigned integers or
integer vectors.
One operand can be signed while the other is unsigned.
In all cases, the resulting type will be the same type as the left
operand.
If the first operand is a scalar, the second operand has to be a scalar
as well.
If the first operand is a vector, the second operand must be a scalar or
a vector with the same size as the first operand, and the result is
computed component-wise.
The result is undefined if the right operand is negative, or greater
than or equal to the number of bits in the left expression&#8217;s base type.
The value of E1 &lt;&lt; E2 is E1 (interpreted as a bit pattern) left-shifted
by E2 bits.
The value of E1 &gt;&gt; E2 is E1 right-shifted by E2 bit positions.
If E1 is a signed integer, the right-shift will extend the sign bit.
If E1 is an unsigned integer, the right-shift will zero-extend.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The bitwise operators and (<strong>&amp;</strong>), exclusive-or (<strong>^</strong>), and inclusive-or
(<strong>|</strong>).
The operands must be of type signed or unsigned integers or integer
vectors.
The operands cannot be vectors of differing size; this is an error.
If one operand is a scalar and the other a vector, the scalar is applied
component-wise to the vector, resulting in the same type as the vector.
The fundamental types of the operands (signed or unsigned) must match,
and will be the resulting fundamental type.
For and (<strong>&amp;</strong>), the result is the bitwise-and function of the operands.
For exclusive-or (<strong>^</strong>), the result is the bitwise exclusive-or function
of the operands.
For inclusive-or (<strong>|</strong>), the result is the bitwise inclusive-or function
of the operands.</p>

<h3 id="function-definitions">6.1. Function Definitions</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As indicated by the grammar above, a valid shader is a sequence of global
declarations and function definitions.
A function is declared as the following example shows:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++"><span class="comment">// prototype</span>
returnType functionName (type0 arg0, type1 arg1, ..., typen argn);</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>and a function is defined like</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++"><span class="comment">// definition</span>
returnType functionName (type0 arg0, type1 arg1, ..., typen argn)
{
<span class="comment">// do some computation</span>
<span class="keyword">return</span> returnValue;
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>where <em>returnType</em> must be present and cannot be void, or:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++"><span class="directive">void</span> functionName (type0 arg0, type1 arg1, ..., typen argn)
{
<span class="comment">// do some computation</span>
<span class="keyword">return</span>; <span class="comment">// optional</span>
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Each of the <em>typeN</em> must include a type and can optionally include a
parameter qualifier and/or <strong>const</strong>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A function is called by using its name followed by a list of arguments in
parentheses.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Arrays are allowed as arguments and as the return type.
In both cases, the array must be
compile-time
sized.
An array is passed or returned by using just its name, without brackets, and
the size of the array must match the size specified in the function&#8217;s
declaration.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Structures are also allowed as argument types.
The return type can also be a structure.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>See &#8220;<a href="#shading-language-grammar">Shading Language Grammar</a>&#8221; for the
definitive reference on the syntax to declare and define functions.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>All functions must be either declared with a prototype or defined with a
body before they are called.
For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++"><span class="predefined-type">float</span> myfunc (<span class="predefined-type">float</span> f, <span class="comment">// f is an input parameter</span>
out <span class="predefined-type">float</span> g); <span class="comment">// g is an output parameter</span></code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Functions that return no value must be declared as <strong>void</strong>.
A <strong>void</strong> function can only use <strong>return</strong> without a return argument, even if
the return argument has <strong>void</strong> type.
Return statements only accept values:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++"><span class="directive">void</span> func1() { }
<span class="directive">void</span> func2() { <span class="keyword">return</span> func1(); } <span class="comment">// illegal return statement</span></code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Only a precision qualifier is allowed on the return type of a function.
Formal parameters can have parameter, precision, and memory qualifiers, but
no other qualifiers.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Functions that accept no input arguments need not use <strong>void</strong> in the argument
list because prototypes (or definitions) are required and therefore there is
no ambiguity when an empty argument list &#8220;( )&#8221; is declared.
The idiom &#8220;(<strong>void</strong>)&#8221; as a parameter list is provided for convenience.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Function names can be overloaded.
The same function name can be used for multiple functions, as long as the
parameter types differ.
If a function name is declared twice with the same parameter types, then the
return types and all qualifiers must also match, and it is the same function
being declared.
When function calls are resolved, an exact type match for all the arguments
is required.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example,</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++">vec4 f(in vec4 x, out vec4 y);
vec4 f(in vec4 x, out uvec4 y); <span class="comment">// allowed, different argument type</span>
<span class="predefined-type">int</span> f(in vec4 x, out vec4 y); <span class="comment">// error, only return type differs</span>
vec4 f(in vec4 x, in vec4 y); <span class="comment">// error, only qualifier differs</span>
vec4 f(<span class="directive">const</span> in vec4 x, out vec4 y); <span class="comment">// error, only qualifier differs</span></code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Calling the first two functions above with the following argument types
yields</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++">f(vec4, vec4) <span class="comment">// exact match of vec4 f(in vec4 x, out vec4 y)</span>

<h4 id="function-calling-conventions">6.1.1. Function Calling Conventions</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Functions are called by value-return.
This means input arguments are copied into the function at call time, and
output arguments are copied back to the caller before function exit.
Because the function works with local copies of parameters, there are no
issues regarding aliasing of variables within a function.
To control what parameters are copied in and/or out through a function
definition or declaration:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>The keyword <strong>in</strong> is used as a qualifier to denote a parameter is to be
copied in, but not copied out.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The keyword <strong>out</strong> is used as a qualifier to denote a parameter is to be
copied out, but not copied in.
This should be used whenever possible to avoid unnecessarily copying
parameters in.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The keyword <strong>inout</strong> is used as a qualifier to denote the parameter is to
be both copied in and copied out.
It means the same thing as specifying both <strong>in</strong> and <strong>out</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A function parameter declared with no such qualifier means the same
thing as specifying <strong>in</strong>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>All arguments are evaluated at call time, exactly once, in order, from left
to right.
Evaluation of an <strong>in</strong> parameter results in a value that is copied to the
formal parameter.
Evaluation of an <strong>out</strong> parameter results in an l-value that is used to copy
out a value when the function returns.
Evaluation of an <strong>inout</strong> parameter results in both a value and an l-value;
the value is copied to the formal parameter at call time and the l-value is
used to copy out a value when the function returns.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The order in which output parameters are copied back to the caller is
undefined.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In a function, writing to an input-only parameter is allowed.
Only the function&#8217;s copy is modified.
This can be prevented by declaring a parameter with the <strong>const</strong> qualifier.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When calling a function, expressions that do not evaluate to l-values cannot
be passed to parameters declared as <strong>out</strong> or <strong>inout</strong>, or an error
results.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Only precision qualifiers are allowed on the return type of a function.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The syntax for function prototypes can be informally expressed as:</p>

<div class="openblock bnf">

unaffected.
Control flow exits the shader, and subsequent implicit or explicit
derivatives are undefined when this control flow is non-uniform (meaning
different fragments within the primitive take different control paths).

The use of <strong>centroid</strong> does not further restrict this value to be inside the

This value is the result of the fixed functionality that interpolates

The <em>z</em> component is the depth value that would be used for the fragment&#8217;s

It is also a compile-time error to redeclare the block more than once or to
redeclare a built-in block and then use a member from that built-in block
that was not included in the redeclaration.
Also, if a built-in interface block is redeclared, no member of the built-in
declaration can be redeclared outside the block redeclaration.
If multiple shaders using members of a built-in block belonging to the same
interface are linked together in the same program, they must all redeclare
the built-in block in the same way, as described in
&#8220;<a href="#interface-blocks">Interface Blocks</a>&#8221; for interface block matching, or a
link-time error will result.
It will also be a link-time error if some shaders in a program redeclare a
specific built-in interface block while another shader in that program does
not redeclare that interface block yet still uses a member of that interface
block.
If a built-in block interface is formed across shaders in different
programs, the shaders must all redeclare the built-in block in the same way
(as described for a single program), or the values passed along the
interface are undefined.</p>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="built-in-functions">8. Built-In Functions</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The OpenGL ES Shading Language defines an assortment of built-in convenience functions for
scalar and vector operations.
Many of these built-in functions can be used in more than one type of
shader, but some are intended to provide a direct mapping to hardware and so
are available only for a specific type of shader.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The built-in functions basically fall into three categories:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>They expose some necessary hardware functionality in a convenient way
such as accessing a texture map.
There is no way in the language for these functions to be emulated by a
shader.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>They represent a trivial operation (clamp, mix, etc.) that is very
simple for the user to write, but they are very common and may have
direct hardware support.
It is a very hard problem for the compiler to map expressions to complex
assembler instructions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>They represent an operation graphics hardware is likely to accelerate at
some point.
The trigonometry functions fall into this category.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Many of the functions are similar to the same named ones in common C
libraries, but they support vector input as well as the more traditional
scalar input.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Applications should be encouraged to use the built-in functions rather than
do the equivalent computations in their own shader code since the built-in
functions are assumed to be optimal (e.g. perhaps supported directly in
hardware).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When the built-in functions are specified below, where the input arguments
(and corresponding output) can be <strong>float</strong>, <strong>vec2</strong>, <strong>vec3</strong>, or <strong>vec4</strong>,
<em>genFType</em> is used as the argument.
Where the input arguments (and corresponding output) can be <strong>int</strong>, <strong>ivec2</strong>,
<strong>ivec3</strong>, or <strong>ivec4</strong>, <em>genIType</em> is used as the argument.
Where the input arguments (and corresponding output) can be <strong>uint</strong>, <strong>uvec2</strong>,
<strong>uvec3</strong>, or <strong>uvec4</strong>, <em>genUType</em> is used as the argument.
Where the input arguments (or corresponding output) can be <strong>bool</strong>, <strong>bvec2</strong>,
<strong>bvec3</strong>, or <strong>bvec4</strong>, <em>genBType</em> is used as the argument.
For any specific use of a function, the actual types substituted for
<em>genFType</em>, <em>genIType</em>, <em>genUType</em>, or <em>genBType</em> have to have the same
number of components for all arguments and for the return type.
Similarly, <em>mat</em> is used for any matrix basic
type.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Built-in functions have an effective precision qualification.
This qualification cannot be set explicitly and may be different from the
precision qualification of the result.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The precision qualification of the operation of a built-in function is based
on the precision qualification of its formal parameters and actual
parameters (input arguments): When a formal parameter specifies a precision
qualifier, that is used, otherwise, the precision qualification of the
actual (calling) argument is used.
The highest precision of these will be the precision of the operation of the
built-in function.
Generally, this is applied across all arguments to a built-in function, with
the exceptions being:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>bitfieldExtract</strong> and <strong>bitfieldInsert</strong> ignore the <em>offset</em> and <em>bits</em>
arguments.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>interpolateAt</strong> functions only look at the <em>interpolant</em> argument.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The precision qualification of the result of a built-in function is
determined in one of the following ways:</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For the texture sampling, image load and image store functions, the
precision of the return type matches the precision of the
texture-combined sampler type:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="c++">uniform lowp sampler2D texSampler;
highp vec2 coord;
...
lowp vec4 col = texture (texSampler, coord); <span class="comment">// texture() returns lowp</span></code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Otherwise:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>For prototypes that do not specify a resulting precision qualifier, the
precision will be the same as the precision of the operation (as defined
earlier).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For prototypes that do specify a resulting precision qualifier, the
specified precision qualifier is the precision qualification of the
result.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Where the built-in functions in the following sections specify an equation,
the entire equation will be evaluated at the operation&#8217;s precision.
This may lead to underflow or overflow in the result, even when the correct
result could be represented in the operation precision.</p>

Other shaders operate as though the base level-of-detail were computed as

The functions in the table below provide access to textures through
texture-combined samplers, as set up through the API.
Texture properties such as size, pixel format, number of dimensions,

Such properties are taken into account as the texture is accessed via the

<p>Texture lookup functions are provided that can return their result as

<p>The texture gather functions take components of a single floating-point
vector operand as a texture coordinate, determine a set of four texels to
sample from the base level-of-detail of the specified texture image, and
return one component from each texel in a four-component result vector.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When performing a texture gather operation, the minification and
magnification filters are ignored, and the rules for LINEAR filtering in the
<a href="#references">OpenGL ES Specification</a> are applied to the base level of the texture image
to identify the four texels <em>i<sub>0</sub> j<sub>1</sub></em>, <em>i<sub>1</sub> j<sub>1</sub></em>, <em>i<sub>1</sub> j<sub>0</sub></em>, and <em>i<sub>0</sub>
j<sub>0</sub></em>.
The texels are then converted to texture base colors (<em>R<sub>s</sub></em>, <em>G<sub>s</sub></em>,
<em>B<sub>s</sub></em>, <em>A<sub>s</sub></em>) according to table 15.1, followed by application of the
texture swizzle as described in section 15.2.1 &#8220;Texture Access&#8221; of the
<a href="#references">OpenGL ES Specification</a>.
A four-component vector is assembled by taking the selected component from
each of the post-swizzled texture source colors in the order (<em>i<sub>0</sub> j<sub>1</sub></em>,
<em>i<sub>1</sub> j<sub>1</sub></em>, <em>i<sub>1</sub> j<sub>0</sub></em>, <em>i<sub>0</sub> j<sub>0</sub></em>).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The selected component is identified by the optional <em>comp</em> argument, where
the values zero, one, two, and three identify the <em>R<sub>s</sub></em>, <em>G<sub>s</sub></em>, <em>B<sub>s</sub></em>, or
<em>A<sub>s</sub></em> component, respectively.
If <em>comp</em> is omitted, it is treated as identifying the <em>R<sub>s</sub></em> component.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Incomplete textures (see section 8.16 &#8220;Texture Completeness&#8221; of the
<a href="#references">OpenGL ES Specification</a>) return a texture source color of (0,0,0,1) for all
four source texels.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For texture gather functions using a texture-combined shadow sampler type,
each of the four
texel lookups perform a depth comparison against the depth reference value
passed in (<em>refZ</em>), and returns the result of that comparison in the
appropriate component of the result vector.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As with other texture lookup functions, the results of a texture gather are
undefined for shadow samplers if the texture referenced is not a depth
texture or has depth comparisons disabled; or for non-shadow samplers if the
texture referenced is a depth texture with depth comparisons enabled.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <strong>textureGatherOffset</strong> built-in functions from the OpenGL ES Shading Language return a vector
derived from sampling four texels in the image array of level <em>level<sub>base</sub></em>.
For each of the four texel offsets specified by the <em>offsets</em> argument, the
rules for the LINEAR minification filter are applied to identify a 2 ×
2 texel footprint, from which the single texel T<sub>i0j0</sub> is selected.
A four-component vector is then assembled by taking a single component from
each of the four T<sub>i0j0</sub> texels in the same manner as for the

Because invocations may execute in an undefined order between these barrier

<p>For compute shaders, the <strong>barrier</strong>() function may be placed within control

This ensures that if any shader invocation enters a conditional statement,
then all invocations will enter it.
While compilers are encouraged to give warnings if they can detect this
might not happen, compilers cannot completely determine this.
Hence, it is the author&#8217;s responsibility to ensure <strong>barrier</strong>() only exists

<p>The memory barrier built-in functions can be used to order reads and writes
to variables stored in memory accessible to other shader invocations.
When called, these functions will wait for the completion of all reads and
writes previously performed by the caller that access selected variable
types, and then return with no other effect.
The built-in functions <strong>memoryBarrierAtomicCounter</strong>(),
<strong>memoryBarrierBuffer</strong>(), <strong>memoryBarrierImage</strong>(), and <strong>memoryBarrierShared</strong>()
wait for the completion of accesses to atomic counter, buffer, image, and
shared variables, respectively.
The built-in functions <strong>memoryBarrier</strong>() and <strong>groupMemoryBarrier</strong>() wait for

<div class="paragraph">
<p>When these functions return, the effects of any memory stores performed
using coherent variables prior to the call will be visible to any
future<sup>1</sup> coherent access to the same memory performed by any other shader
invocation.
In particular, the values written this way in one shader stage are
guaranteed to be visible to coherent memory accesses performed by shader
invocations in subsequent stages when those invocations were triggered by
the execution of the original shader invocation (e.g. fragment shader
invocations for a primitive resulting from a particular geometry
shader invocation).</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Additionally, memory barrier functions order stores performed by the calling
invocation, as observed by other shader invocations.
Without memory barriers, if one shader invocation performs two stores to
coherent variables, a second shader invocation might see the values written
by the second store prior to seeing those written by the first.
However, if the first shader invocation calls a memory barrier function
between the two stores, selected other shader invocations will never see the
results of the second store before seeing those of the first.
When using the functions <strong>groupMemoryBarrier</strong>() or <strong>memoryBarrierShared</strong>(),
this ordering guarantee applies only to other shader invocations in the same
compute shader workgroup; all other memory barrier functions provide the
guarantee to all other shader invocations.
No memory barrier is required to guarantee the order of memory stores as
observed by the invocation performing the stores; an invocation reading from
a variable that it previously wrote will always see the most recently
written value unless another shader invocation also wrote to the same

<h2 id="counting-of-inputs-and-outputs">11. Counting of Inputs and Outputs</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This section applies to outputs from the last active vertex processing stage
and inputs to the fragment stage.
GLSL ES 3.20 specifies the storage available for such variables in terms of
an array of 4-vectors.
The assumption is that variables will be packed into these arrays without
wasting space.
This places significant burden on implementations since optimal packing is
computationally intensive.
Implementations may have more internal resources than exposed to the
application and so avoid the need to perform packing but this is also
considered an expensive solution.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>GLSL ES 3.20 therefore relaxes the requirements for packing by
specifying a simpler algorithm that may be used.
This algorithm specifies a minimum requirement for when a set of variables
must be supported by an implementation.
The implementation is allowed to support more than the minimum and so may
use a more efficient algorithm and/or may support more registers than the
virtual target machine.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Outputs from the last active vertex stage and inputs to the fragment stage are
counted separately.
If statically used in the fragment shader, the built-in special variables
(<em>gl_FragCoord</em>, <em>gl_FrontFacing</em> and <em>gl_PointCoord</em>) are included when
calculating the storage requirements of fragment inputs.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the last active vertex-pipeline shader and fragment shader are linked
together, inputs and outputs are only counted if they are statically used
within the shader.
If the shaders are each compiled into a separable program, all declared inputs
and outputs are counted.</p>

<p>For the algorithm used, failing resource allocation for a variable must
result in an error.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The resource allocation of variables must succeed for all cases where the
following packing algorithm succeeds:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>The target architecture consists of a grid of registers, 16 rows by 4
columns.
Each register can contain a scalar value, i.e. a float, int or uint.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Variables with an explicit location are allocated first.
When attempting to allocate a location for other variables, if there is
a conflict, the search moves to the next available free location.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Structures are assumed to be flattened.
Each data member is treated as if it were at global scope.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Variables are packed into the registers one at a time so that they each
occupy a contiguous sub-rectangle.
No splitting of variables is permitted.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The orientation of variables is fixed.
Vectors always occupy registers in a single row.
Elements of an array must be in different rows.
E.g. <strong>vec4</strong> will always occupy one row; float[16] will occupy one
column.
Since it is not permitted to split a variable, large arrays e.g.
float[32] will always fail with this algorithm.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Non-square matrices of type <strong>matCxR</strong> consume the same space as a square
matrix of type <strong>matN</strong> where N is the greater of C and R.
Variables of type <strong>mat2</strong> occupies 2 complete rows.
These rules allow implementations more flexibility in how variables are
stored.
+ Other variables consume only the minimum space required.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Arrays of size N are assumed to take N times the size of the base type.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Variables are packed in the following order:</p>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p><strong>mat4</strong> and arrays of <strong>mat4</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>mat2</strong> and arrays of <strong>mat2</strong> (since they occupy full rows)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>vec4</strong> and arrays of <strong>vec4</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>mat3</strong> and arrays of <strong>mat3</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>vec3</strong> and arrays of <strong>vec3</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>vec2</strong> and arrays of <strong>vec2</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Scalar types and arrays of scalar types</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>For each of the above types, the arrays are processed in order of size,
largest first.
Arrays of size 1 and the base type are considered equivalent.
The first type to be packed will be mat4[4], mat4[3], mat[2] followed by
mat4, mat2[4]&#8230;&#8203;mat2[2], mat2, vec4[8], vec4[7],&#8230;&#8203;vec4[1], vec4,
mat3[2], mat3 and so on.
The last variables to be packed will be float (and float[1]).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For 2,3 and 4 component variables packing is started using the 1<sup>st</sup>
column of the 1<sup>st</sup> row.
Variables are then allocated to successive rows, aligning them to the
1<sup>st</sup> column.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For 2 component variables, when there are no spare rows, the strategy is
switched to using the highest numbered row and the lowest numbered
column where the variable will fit.
(In practice, this means they will be aligned to the x or z component.)
Packing of any further 3 or 4 component variables will fail at this
point.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>1 component variables (e.g. floats and arrays of floats) have their own
packing rule.
They are packed in order of size, largest first.
Each variable is placed in the column that leaves the least amount of
space in the column and aligned to the lowest available rows within that
column.
During this phase of packing, space will be available in up to 4
columns.
The space within each column is always contiguous in the case where no
variables have explicit locations.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For each type, variables with the 'smooth' property are packed first,
followed by variables with the 'flat' property.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Each row can contain either values with the 'smooth' property or the
'flat' property but not both.
If this situation is encountered during allocation, the algorithm skips
the component location and continues with the next available location.
These skipped locations may be used for other values later in the
allocation process.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>There is no backtracking.
Once a value is assigned a location, it cannot be changed, even if such
a change is required for a successful allocation.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Example: pack the following types:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">

<h3 id="_mapping_from_glsl_to_spir_v">14.2. Mapping from GLSL to SPIR-V</h3>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_specialization_constants">14.2.1. Specialization Constants</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>SPIR-V specialization constants, which can be set later by the client API,
can be declared using <code>layout(constant_id=&#8230;&#8203;)</code>. For example, to make a
specialization constant with a default value of 12:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>layout(constant_id = 17) const int arraySize = 12;</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Above, <code>17</code> is the ID by which the API or other tools can later refer to
this specific specialization constant. The API or an intermediate tool can
then change its value to another constant integer before it is fully
lowered to executable code. If it is never changed before final lowering,
it will retain the value of 12.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Specialization constants have const semantics, except they don&#8217;t fold.
Hence, an array can be declared with <code>arraySize</code> from above:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>vec4 data[arraySize]; // legal, even though arraySize might change</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Specialization constants can be in expressions:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>vec4 data2[arraySize + 2];</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This will make <code>data2</code> be sized by 2 more than whatever constant value
<code>arraySize</code> has when it is time to lower the shader to executable code.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>An expression formed with specialization constants also behaves in the
shader like a specialization constant, not a like a constant.</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>arraySize + 2 // a specialization constant (with no constant_id)</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Such expressions can be used in the same places as a constant.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <em>constant_id</em> can only be applied to a scalar integer, a scalar floating-point
or a scalar Boolean.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Only basic operators and constructors can be applied to a specialization
constant and still result in a specialization constant:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>layout(constant_id = 17) const int arraySize = 12;
sin(float(arraySize)); // result is not a specialization constant</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>While SPIR-V specialization constants are only for scalars, a vector
can be made by operations on scalars:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>layout(constant_id = 18) const int scX = 1;
layout(constant_id = 19) const int scZ = 1;
const vec3 scVec = vec3(scX, 1, scZ); // partially specialized vector</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A built-in variable can have a <em>constant_id</em> attached to it:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>layout(constant_id = 18) gl_MaxImageUnits;</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This makes it behave as a specialization constant. It is not a full
redeclaration; all other characteristics are left intact from the
original built-in declaration.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The built-in vector <em>gl_WorkGroupSize</em> can be specialized using special
layout <code>local_size_{xyz}_id</code> applied to the <strong>in</strong> qualifier. For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>layout(local_size_x_id = 18, local_size_z_id = 19) in;</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This leaves <em>gl_WorkGroupSize.y</em> as a non-specialization constant, with
<em>gl_WorkGroupSize</em> being a partially specialized vector. Its <em>x</em> and <em>z</em>
components can be later specialized using the ID&#8217;s 18 and 19.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_vulkan_only_push_constants">14.2.2. Vulkan Only: Push Constants</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Push constants reside in a uniform block declared using the new
layout-qualifier-id <em>push_constant</em> applied to a uniform-block declaration.
The API writes a set of constants to a push-constant buffer, and the shader
reads them from a <em>push_constant</em> block:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>layout(push_constant) uniform BlockName {
int member1;
float member2;
...
} InstanceName; // optional instance name
... = InstanceName.member2; // read a push constant</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The memory accounting used for the <em>push_constant</em> uniform block is different
than for other uniform blocks: There is a separate small pool of memory
it must fit within. By default, a <em>push_constant</em> buffer follows the std430
packing rules.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_vulkan_only_descriptor_sets">14.2.3. Vulkan Only: Descriptor Sets</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Each shader resource in a descriptor set is assigned a tuple of (set
number, binding number, array element) that defines its location within
a descriptor set layout.
In GLSL, the set number and binding number are assigned via the <em>set</em>
and <em>binding</em> layout qualifiers respectively, and the array element is
implicitly assigned consecutively starting with index equal to zero for
the first element of an array (and array element is zero for non-array
variables):</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>// Assign set number = M, binding number = N, array element = 0
layout (set=M, binding=N) uniform sampler2D variableName;</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>// Assign set number = M, binding number = N for all array elements,
// and array element = i for the ith member of an array of size I.
layout (set=M, binding=N) uniform sampler2D variableNameArray[I];</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, two combined texture/sampler objects can be declared in two
different descriptor sets as follows</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>layout(set = 0, binding = 0) uniform sampler2D ts3;
