Works for me, but might wipe your harddisk.
Takes a glsl shader, removes white space, comments, etc, and replaces symbols/identifiers/type names by shorter ones that compress better.
I got tired of installing mono to get shader-minifier working, and needed something that I could embedd into my tools.
Because. And I want to learn rust.
And it's portable, and fast, and future proof.
``` cargo run --help
cargo run -- --input shader.glsl --output shader_crushed.glsl ```
Use --blacklist "dont,crush,these"
or
```glsl
// code
// code
// code ``` to keep certain identifiers untouched, e.g. uniforms that you need to resolve externaly. Keywords, built-in functions, and 'main' are automatically blacklisted.
From C/C++
c++
shader_crusher::ShaderCrusher* pShaderCrusher = shader_crusher::shadercrusher_new();
shader_crusher::shadercrusher_set_input( pShaderCrusher, fragmentString.c_str() );
shader_crusher::shadercrusher_crush( pShaderCrusher );
char* pOutput = shader_crusher::shadercrusher_get_ouput( pShaderCrusher );
fragmentString = std::string( pOutput );
shader_crusher::shadercrusher_free_ouput( pShaderCrusher, pOutput );
shader_crusher::shadercrusher_free( pShaderCrusher );
Don't forget do include the cbindgen generated header file, and link against the lib.
I only used it on my shaders so far, but on average the crushed size is 60%, or 40% if you further compress (e.g. with UPX/Crinkler/kkrunchy).
(because I want it)
(aka not going to happen anytime soon)
