OpenGL ES 3.2 adds this feature to core
It was available to GLES 3.1 as GL_{EXT, OES}_texture_buffer as well.
For the non-Nvidia vendors that implemented this is:
- Qualcomm's Adreno 4xx
- IMGTec's PowerVR Rogue
OpenGL ES 3.2 adds a few things we care about supporting in core. In particular:
- GL_{ARB,EXT,OES}_draw_elements_base_vertex
- KHR_Debug
- Sample Shading
- GL_{ARB,EXT,OES,NV}_copy_image
- Geometry shaders
- Geometry shader instancing (If they support GL_{EXT,OES}_geometry_point_size)
Nvidia was the first to release an OpenGL ES 3.2 driver which I uesd to test this on.
This also enables GS Instancing on GLES 3.1 hardware if it supports all of the required extensions.
This drops the "feature" to load level 0 from the custom texture
and all other levels from the native one if the size matches.
But in my opinion, when a custom texture only provide one level,
no more should be used at all.
If the host device supports GLES 3.1 and AEP we can have stereo rendering.
Just need to make sure to grab the correct function pointer that GL_EXT_geometry_shader provides, and enable AEP in the shaders.
We can't just check if AEP is in the extension list for support because Qualcomm has failed once more.
With the Nexus 6 it reports support for AEP but doesn't support OpenGL ES 3.1, which is an impossible combination.
From reports on their forum it seems that attempting to use any AEP things results in nothing happening, seems like a stub implementation.
GLSL ES 3.10 adds implicit support for the binding layout qualifier that we use.
Changes our GLSL version enums to bit values so we can check for both ES versions easily.
