glGetProgramResourceLocationIndex
query the fragment color index of a named variable within a program
C Specification
GLint glGetProgramResourceLocationIndex
GLuint program
GLenum programInterface
const char * name
Parameters
program
The name of a program object whose resources to query.
programInterface
A token identifying the interface within program containing the resource named name.
name
The name of the resource to query the location of.
Description
glGetProgramResourceLocationIndex returns the fragment color index assigned
to the variable named name in interface programInterface of program
object program. program must be the name of a program that has been
linked successfully. programInterface must
be PROGRAM_OUTPUT.
The value -1 will be returned if an error occurs, if name does not identify an active variable on
programInterface, or if name identifies an active variable that does
not have a valid location assigned, as described above. The locations
returned by these commands are the same locations returned when querying
the GL_LOCATION and GL_LOCATION_INDEX resource properties.
A string provided to glGetProgramResourceLocationIndex is considered to match an active variable if:
the string exactly matches the name of the active variable
if the string identifies the base name of an active array, where the
string would exactly match the name of the variable if the suffix
"[0]" were appended to the string
if the string identifies an active element of the array, where the
string ends with the concatenation of the "[" character, an integer
with no "+" sign, extra leading zeroes, or whitespace identifying an
array element, and the "]" character, the integer is less than the
number of active elements of the array variable, and where the string
would exactly match the enumerated name of the array if the decimal
integer were replaced with zero.
Any other string is considered not to identify an active variable. If the
string specifies an element of an array variable,
glGetProgramResourceLocation returns the
location assigned to that element. If it
specifies the base name of an array, it identifies the resources
associated with the first element of the array.
Errors
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if program
is not the name of an existing program object.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if programInterface
is not one of the accepted interface types.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if program
has not been linked successfully.
