GlslOptimizerV2 is an optimizer for the glsl language with support of last opengl api and Stages Vertex \ Tesselation Control \ Tesselation Evaluation \ Geometry \ Fragment

Based on Mesa3D and glsl-optimizer

Pay Attention, for the moment this app is full of bugs and can crash in any reason.

Some time ago i found the original glsl-optimizer, but this project is stopped since a while and without support of Tesselation and Geometry shader stage nor last Opengl Api.

After analysed it a bit, i discovered than most of the Optimization code is coming from Mesa3D Implementation. So after a bit of search, i decided to create an updated version of Gsl-Optimizer who can support last stages and last Opengl api too.

All this work is mostly based on Mesa3D and original Glsl-Optimizer, but all not work porperly for the moment. I not guaranty than generated optimized shader can compile

I have exposed the most of params i have found in Mesa3D for better optimization possibilities, and proposed a GlslOptimizer module and an standalone App for optimize in an easy way your shaders.

I am very interested in graphic programming but as a self-learning guy, im in no way an expert.

So if you feel like it, help me improve this Software that I make available in open source for that.

1. Open the App :)
2. Open a shader file( you have many samples in dir shader_samples) or create new (in the main menu bar)
3. Set the type of shader, The version of glsl you want, and Tune the parameters.
4. Optimize

All the settings are saved in a conf file in the same directory of your shader file the conf file name the name and ext of your shader file with an extention conf : If you have a shader like : shader.frag => the conf file will be shader_frag.conf

So for the next time, you just need to open your sahder file again, (dont opn conf file) and your settings will comming back :)

The module GlslOptimizerV2 is inside the directory GlslOptimizerV2

There is a CMakeLists.txt file for link into your porject easily

Some screenshots of the current app :

Open You file :

Write/open your code and optimzie it : (see in the pane, all the params i exepose)

Customize the style ( the default theme is light but you can also customize app theme and editor palette)

• Glfw - ZLIB
• Dear ImGui - Docking/tables branch - MIT
• Glad - MIT
• tinyxml2 - ZLIB
• ImGuiColorTextEdit - MIT
• dirent - MIT
• cTools - MIT
• ImGuiFileDialog - MIT
• Mesa3D - MIT (all the optimisation code come form it, but just the compilation code is extracted)

• glsl-optimizer - MIT (glsl generation is based on it)

As said im not an expert, so if you want help me, your are welcome.
