glGetUniformIndices
retrieve the index of a named uniform block
C Specification
void glGetUniformIndices
GLuint program
GLsizei uniformCount
const GLchar **uniformNames
GLuint *uniformIndices
Parameters
program
Specifies the name of a program containing uniforms whose indices to query.
uniformCount
Specifies the number of uniforms whose indices to query.
uniformNames
Specifies the address of an array of pointers to buffers containing the names of the queried uniforms.
uniformIndices
Specifies the address of an array that will receive the indices of the uniforms.
Description
glGetUniformIndices retrieves the indices of a number of uniforms within program.
program must be the name of a program object for which the command
glLinkProgram must have been called in the past, although it is not required that
glLinkProgram must have succeeded. The link could have failed because the number
of active uniforms exceeded the limit.
uniformCount indicates both the number of elements in the array of names uniformNames and the
number of indices that may be written to uniformIndices.
uniformNames contains a list of uniformCount name strings identifying the uniform names to be
queried for indices. For each name string in uniformNames, the index assigned to the active uniform of that name will
be written to the corresponding element of uniformIndices. If a string in uniformNames is not
the name of an active uniform, the special value GL_INVALID_INDEX will be written to the corresponding element of
uniformIndices.
If an error occurs, nothing is written to uniformIndices.
Errors
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if program is not the name of a program object for which
glLinkProgram has been called in the past.
Notes
glGetUniformIndices is available only if the GL version is 3.1 or greater.
