glCreateShaderProgramv(3) create a stand-alone program from an array of null-terminated source code strings

C SPECIFICATION

GLuint glCreateShaderProgramv(GLenum type, GLsizei count, const char **strings);

PARAMETERS

type

Specifies the type of shader to create.

count

Specifies the number of source code strings in the array strings.

strings

Specifies the address of an array of pointers to source code strings from which to create the program object.

DESCRIPTION

glCreateShaderProgram creates a program object containing compiled and linked shaders for a single stage specified by type. strings refers to an array of count strings from which to create the shader executables.

glCreateShaderProgram is equivalent (assuming no errors are generated) to: 

    const GLuint shader = glCreateShader(type);
    if (shader) {
        glShaderSource(shader, count, strings, NULL);
        glCompileShader(shader);
        const GLuint program = glCreateProgram();
        if (program) {
            GLint compiled = GL_FALSE;
            glGetShaderiv(shader, GL_COMPILE_STATUS, &compiled);
            glProgramParameteri(program, GL_PROGRAM_SEPARABLE, GL_TRUE);
            if (compiled) {
                glAttachShader(program, shader);
                glLinkProgram(program);
                glDetachShader(program, shader);
            }
            /* append-shader-info-log-to-program-info-log */
        }
        glDeleteShader(shader);
        return program;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }

The program object created by glCreateShaderProgram has its GL_PROGRAM_SEPARABLE status set to GL_TRUE.

ERRORS

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if pipeline is not a name previously returned from a call to glGenProgramPipelines() or if such a name has been deleted by a call to glDeleteProgramPipelines().

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if program refers to a program object that has not been successfully linked.
