al_get_shader_platform(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, we’re in the Allegro reference manual, and this page is all about:

• al_get_shader_platform — Allegro 5 API. That’s the function name, periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_SHADER_PLATFORM al_get_shader_platform(ALLEGRO_SHADER *shader)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Bestie, this one is simple in the best way: it returns the platform the shader was created with. That’s either ALLEGRO_SHADER_HLSL or ALLEGRO_SHADER_GLSL — those are the two options, no cap. 🫶

You hand it your ALLEGRO_SHADER *shader, and it gives you back the ALLEGRO_SHADER_PLATFORM. Shader platform vibe check: complete. ✨

🎀 SINCE 🎀

5.1.6 — she’s been here since 5.1.6, and honestly? iconic. 👑

Sign-off from the Allegro reference manual: al_get_shader_platform has been around since 5.1.6, and the original page didn’t print a date, so that’s the timestamp tea. 🫶💖
