Dependencies
OpenGL 3.0 or OpenGL ES 3.0 is required. This extension interacts with
GL_ARB_ES3_compatibility.
This extension is written against the OpenGL 4.4 (core) specification
and the GLSL 4.40 specification.
Overview
GLSL 1.30 (and GLSL ES 3.00) expanded the mix() built-in function to
operate on a boolean third argument that does not interpolate but
selects. This extension extends mix() to select between int, uint,
and bool components.
New Procedures and Functions
None.
New Tokens
None.
Additions to Chapter 8 of the GLSL 4.40 Specification (Built-in Functions)
Modify Section 8.3, Common Functions
Additions to the table listing common built-in functions:
Syntax Description
--------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
genIType mix(genIType x, Selects which vector each returned component comes
genIType y, from. For a component of a that is false, the
genBType a) corresponding component of x is returned. For a
genUType mix(genUType x, component of a that is true, the corresponding
genUType y, component of y is returned.
genBType a)
genBType mix(genBType x,
genBType y,
genBType a)
Additions to the AGL/GLX/WGL Specifications
None.
Modifications to The OpenGL Shading Language Specification, Version 4.40
Including the following line in a shader can be used to control the
language features described in this extension:
#extension GL_EXT_shader_integer_mix : <behavior>
where <behavior> is as specified in section 3.3.
New preprocessor #defines are added to the OpenGL Shading Language:
#define GL_EXT_shader_integer_mix 1
Interactions with ARB_ES3_compatibility
On desktop implementations that support ARB_ES3_compatibility,
GL_EXT_shader_integer_mix can be enabled (and the new functions
used) in shaders declared with '#version 300 es'.
GLX Protocol
None.
Errors
None.
New State
None.
New Implementation Dependent State
None.
Issues
1) Should we allow linear interpolation of integers via a non-boolean
third component?
RESOLVED: No.
2) Should we allow mix() to select between boolean components?
RESOLVED: Yes. Implementing the same functionality using casts would be
possible but ugly.
