# GLSL-LAYOUT
This crates provides data types and traits to build structures ready to upload into UBO.
## Usage
Deriving `Uniform` with proc-macro will produce associated type `Std140`
with same data layout as uniform blocks declared with `layout(std140)`.
All members of structure that derives `Uniform` must implement `Uniform` as well.
Implementing `Uniform` should be done via deriving.
Implementing it manually is possible.
It requires to provide associated type `Std140` which must implement `Std140` trait.
But trait `Std140` is marked unsafe so be careful.
Trait `Uniform` also requires `Copy`.
Typical usage scenario is:
```rust
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Uniform)]
struct FragmentArgs {
pos: vec3,
dir: vec3,
count: uint,
}
write_to_buffer(&FragmentArgs {
pos: [0.0, 1.0, 2.0].into(),
dir: [3.0, 4.0, 5.0].into(),
count: 42,
}.std140());
```
### Data types
There are basic data types from glsl:
* boolean (name `bool` is already occupied)
* int
* uint
* float
* double
Also more complex types:
* vectors - (vec2, vec3, vec4, bvec2, ivec2, uvec2, dvec2 etc)
* matrices - (mat2x3, dmat4 etc)
* arrays -

## Known issues
### On MacOS
If uniform block contains array of structures and this array accessed with dynamic index (variable instead of literal)
it may load wrong bytes for members not aligned to size of `vec4` (16 bytes). In this case manual padding can be the fix.
