`glsl-lang` is a crate implementing a LALR parser for the GLSL 4.x language,
with partial support for preprocessor directives. Its AST and features are
modeled after [Dimitri Sabadie's `glsl` crate](https://github.com/phaazon/glsl).
See the [homepage](https://github.com/vtavernier/glsl-lang) for more detailed comparison
elements.
## Examples
### Parsing GLSL
```rust
use glsl_lang::{ast, parse::DefaultParse};
// Some GLSL source to parse
let source = r#"void main() {
gl_FragColor = vec4(1., 0.5, 0.25, 1.);
}"#;
// Try parsing the source
let ast = ast::TranslationUnit::parse(source);
assert!(ast.is_ok());
```
## Crate features
This crate has the following features:
- `parser-expr`: generate parser code for parsing GLSL expressions
- `parser-statement`: generate parser code for parsing GLSL statements
None of these features are enabled by default, as they significantly increase the compile
times. As an alternative, you may use the [`Parsable`](crate::parse::Parsable) trait, which
wraps grammar rules in suitable source and matches the result to extract the part of the AST
we're interested in.
```rust
// parse::Parse is not implemented for ast::Expr with the default features
use glsl_lang::{ast, parse::Parsable};
let source = "a = b ? 1.0 : 0.0";
// Parse with Parsable::parse
let ast = ast::Expr::parse(source);
assert!(ast.is_ok());
```
