class mrpt::opengl::Program

A resource handling helper for OpenGL Shader “programs”.

The OpenGL “program” resource will be freed upon destruction or when clear() is called.

Methods

void clear()

Frees the shader program in OpenGL.

bool linkProgram(
    std::vector<Shader>& shaders,
    mrpt::optional_ref<std::string> outErrorMessages = std::nullopt
    )

Links an OpenGL program with all shader code fragments previously inserted into shaders.

Parameters:

shaders	The shader code fragments. Will be moved into this Program object, who will become the owner from now on and will eventually free its resources.
outErrorMessages	If provided, build errors will be saved here. If not, they will dumped to std::cerr

Returns:

false on error.

void dumpProgramDescription(std::ostream& o) const

Prints a textual summary of the program.
