okay bestie, welcome to the Coin manual, section 3. yes this is the whole SoGLShaderProgramElement page and yes it's giving very "inherited members" energy but we're gonna make it cute. 🎀

📚 Member Function Documentation 📚

💜 virtual void SoGLShaderProgramElement::init (SoState * state) [virtual]

okay so this one initializes the element type inside the SoState you hand it. it gets called for the first element of every enabled element type in SoState objects. like, the opening act. the vibe-setter. ✨

Reimplemented from SoReplacedElement.

---

💜 virtual void SoGLShaderProgramElement::push (SoState * state) [virtual]

this method gets called every single time a new element is needed in one of the stacks. when does that happen, you ask? when a writable element is requested via SoState::getElement() or indirectly through SoElement::getElement(), and the depth of the current element is less than the state depth. that's the moment. 🫶

Override this method if your element needs to copy data from the previous top of stack. the push() method is called on the new element, and you can find the previous element using SoElement::getNextInStack().

Reimplemented from SoElement.

---

💜 virtual void SoGLShaderProgramElement::pop (SoState * state, const SoElement * prevTopElement) [virtual]

this one fires when the state is popped and the depth of the element is bigger than the current state depth. pop() is called on the new top of stack, and a pointer to the previous top of stack gets passed in as prevTopElement. it's literally passing the aux cord. 🎧

Override this method if you need to copy some state information from the previous top of stack.

Reimplemented from SoElement.

---

💜 virtual SbBool SoGLShaderProgramElement::matches (const SoElement * element) const [virtual]

this function returns TRUE if the element matches another element (of the same class), with respect to cache validity. bestie-matching. 💞

heads up: if the application programmer's extension element has a matches() function, it should also have a copyMatchInfo() function. they come as a set, no cap.

Reimplemented from SoReplacedElement.

---

💜 virtual SoElement * SoGLShaderProgramElement::copyMatchInfo (void ) const [virtual]

this function creates a copy of the element containing enough information to make the matches() function actually work. it's the receipts. 🧾

Used to help with scene graph traversal caching operations.

Reimplemented from SoReplacedElement.
