OpenGL Shading Language for Visual Studio Code

This extension adds language support for the OpenGL Shading Language to Visual Studio Code.

Note on this Fork

This is a fork of the original glsl-lsp extension by kuba_p. This version, published by jsdf, includes updates such as support for Apple Silicon, which was lacking in the previously published version. This fork was created primarily to provide a build with Apple Silicon support and is not actively maintained.

It current supports the following features:

• Basic semantic highlighting
• Syntax errors
• Limited semantic diagnostics
• Macro expansion
• Conditional compilation evaluation and control

⚠ Most features are currently unimplemented; this includes name resolution.

Currently supported versions: |GLSL version|OpenGL version| |-|-| |460|4.6| |450|4.5|

Security & Privacy

This extension, and the glsl-lsp server, do not execute arbitrary source code; any evaluations are free of any side-effects. Furthermore, currently no I/O or network calls are made.

No telemetry is collected by this extension.

Installation

Simply install this extension and you're good to go! The platform-specific server binary is packaged along with all the other files, so there's no need to download extra stuff through a separate package manager.

Troubleshooting

This extension is in a preview state and it has not been fully tested. Crashes may occur.

Start troubleshooting by looking at the server logs. Log messages are found in the Output > GLSL Language Server channel. If you see a backtrace, that means the server has crashed. Log messages from this extension's language client are found in the Output > GLSL Client channel.

To fully capture the messages between the editor and the server, set the glsl.trace.server setting to "verbose". These messages will be logged to the Output > GLSL Language Server Trace channel.

This fork is provided as-is. You can get the current version information by running GLSL: Show version from the command palette.
