A Small utility to add the include feature to glsl

How to use it

• Download the latest release
• Usage example : GLSLInclude.exe filea.glsl fileb.glsl -o {fileNameNoExt}.generated{ext}

What it does

• Handle multiple includes in one file
• The syntax is the same as in C language
• Handle deep includes correctly
• Handle relative paths
• Detects circular references
• It does allow diamond shaped includes

What it does not / have not been tested

• Absolute paths
• Not tested spaces / tab robustness
• Not tested comments robustness
• Not tested multiline include
• Not tested <> includes

Roadmap

• Clean it a bit
• Handle line returns in a cleaner way
• Provide it as a single file dependency along the executable
• Support as many .net platform as possible (at least down to .net standard 1.0)
• Publish it as a nuget package
• More unit tests
• Open to suggestions :)
