vim-glsl

This plugin adds OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) syntax highlighting support to Vim. It supports everything in the standard GLSL 4.6 plus a few common KHR/EXT extensions. Among other things, it supports the GL_KHR_vulkan_glsl extension for Vulkan. It also highlights #include directives, which are widely used (even if they're technically non-standard). It fixes a few issues with tikhomirov's repository, such as the missing subroutine and component keywords that should be available in GLSL (even if they're "rare").

If you find anything important missing, feel free to open an issue or (even better) create a PR. Please be aware that no vendor extensions will be accepted into this repository. If they're EXT or KHR extensions though, they are more than welcome! Please see the public GLSL extensions repo.

It applies syntax highlighting to the following glslang file extensions: .glsl, .vert, .tesc, .tese, .geom, .frag, .comp and .rayg, .rayi, .raya, .rayh, .raym, .rayc (from GL_EXT_ray_tracing) and .mesh, .task (from GLSL_EXT_mesh_shader).

  • Added missing component layout qualifier
  • Added missing subroutine from GLSL 4.6

  • Ability to specify descriptor sets with set qualifier
  • Support for the various subpassInput descriptors
  • Ability to speicfy input_attachment_index in layout
  • The subpassLoad built-in function for Vulkan
