PVRVFrame: AEP shader compilation errors

PowerVR Insider
1

To be honest PVRSDK 3.5 does not support GLES 3+ :]

Prerequisites:
Windows 7, GeForce 760Ti, latest NVidia driver, supported OpenGL version 4.5

Please explain:

  1. Obtained extension list:

GL_EXT_tesselation_shader
GL_EXT_texture_buffer
GL_EXT_texture_cube_map_array

  1. with PVRFrame non geometry, non tesselation shaders cannot be compiled successfully.
    Compiler ouput is meaningless:
    [GEOMETRY] shader compilation failed [box.geom] :
    Compile failed.
    ERROR: 0:5: points: can only be used for geometry in/out interface.
    ERROR: 0:6: unsupported interface qualifier in this shader
    ERROR: 2 compilation errors. No code generated.

Shader code lines where the issue happened:
[i]
#version 310 es

precision highp float;

layout[points] in;
layout[triangle_strip, max_vertices = 14] out;

uniform mat4 u_mvpMatrix;
uniform mat4 u_normalMatrix;[/i]
…

3] The same sources works with MALI emulator ;]

Hi Valentin,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I’ll discuss the problem with the PVRVFrame lead. If you can share a complete geometry shader and/or application binary that reproduce the issue, it will help us speed up our investigation. Confidential files can be shared with us by attaching them to tickets in our support portal: https://pvrsupport.imgtec.com/new-ticket

Cheers,
Joe
