cgCombinePrograms

> # NAME

> cgCombinePrograms - combine programs from different domains

> # SYNOPSIS

>       #include <Cg/cg.h>

>       CGprogram cgCombinePrograms( int n,
>                                    const CGprogram * exeList );

> # PARAMETERS

> n

>   The number of program objects in exeList.

> exeList

>   An array of two or more executable programs, each from a different domain.

> # RETURN VALUES

> Returns a handle to the newly created program on success.

> Returns NULL if an error occurs.

> # DESCRIPTION

> cgCombinePrograms will take a set of n programs and combine them into a single CGprogram. This allows a single call to BindProgram (instead of a BindProgram for each individual program) and provides optimizations between the combined set of program inputs and outputs.

> # EXAMPLES

> CGprogram p1 = cgCreateProgram(context, CG_SOURCE, vSrc, vProfile, vEntryName, NULL); CGprogram p2 = cgCreateProgram(context, CG_SOURCE, fSrc, fProfile, fEntryName, NULL);

> CGprogram programs[] = {p1, p2}; CGprogram combined = cgCombinePrograms(2, programs);

> cgDestroyProgram(p1); cgDestroyProgram(p2);

> cgGLBindProgram(combined); /* Assuming cgGL runtime */

> /* Render... */

> # ERRORS

> CG_INVALID_DIMENSION_ERROR is generated if n less than or equal to 1 or n is greater than 3.

> CG_INVALID_PARAMETER_ERROR is generated if exeList is NULL.

> CG_INVALID_PROGRAM_HANDLE_ERROR is generated if one of the programs in exeList is invalid.

> The errors listed in cgCreateProgram might also be generated.

> # HISTORY

> cgCombinePrograms was introduced in Cg 1.5.
