Hi all,

I have read recently a new feature of OpenGL who is GLSL binding.


layout(binding = 0) uniform sampler2D DiffuseTexture;
layout(std140, binding = 0) uniform ShaderBuffer
{
  ...
}

Since all can be binded in the GLSL shader, is glGetUniformLocation needed anymore ?

Thanks

Provided you can convince your shader authors to correctly specify all the inputs, no, you don't need it anymore.

CG has provided something like this for a very long time, by making you bind attributes to predetermined semantics.
