There are also two versions, one being like the old one and one like core. In KWin we can handle this with the same shader code and rewriting e.g. the version statement. Do you know how this is handled in QtQuick?</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I tried to mimc what Qt does exactly. They seem to just have the two:
"normal" and ">3.2 Core" both completely from scratch.
Poke me on IRC and I'll point you to the code locations.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The only difference is they have the shaders as embedded Qt resources file and load them by name.</p></pre>

And the shading language has quite some differences, especially different version numbers.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">KWin's generation code is:
} else {
const bool glsl_es_300 = GLPlatform::instance()->glslVersion() >= kVersionNumber(3, 0);</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;"><div class="codehilite" style="background: #f8f8f8"><pre style="line-height: 125%"> if (glsl_es_300)
stream << "#version 300 es\n\n";
// From the GLSL ES specification:
//
// "The fragment language has no default precision qualifier for floating point types."
stream << "precision highp float;\n\n";
varying = glsl_es_300 ? QByteArrayLiteral("in") : QByteArrayLiteral("varying");
textureLookup = glsl_es_300 ? QByteArrayLiteral("texture") : QByteArrayLiteral("texture2D");
output = glsl_es_300 ? QByteArrayLiteral("fragColor") : QByteArrayLiteral("gl_FragColor");
}
</pre></div>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">In general each and every function one uses needs to be verified whether they exist in GLES and in which version. GLSL is a mess in that regard. I hate it that you need to write your code four times and that's why KWin mostly generates the code nowadays.</p></pre>

the shaders directory and the versions ending with _core)</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">core profile is only used if explicitly by the app enabled when creating the GL context. </p>
