Feature request: support for embedded shaders in C99 API.

[DylanLukes]

Hello,

Are embedded shaders something which can be implemented for the C99 API? The C99 API has proven complete for everything I've looked at so far, but I've not found any analog to the embedded shader functionality there.

Is this on any roadmap, or should I fork and attempt to implement it myself? (Rather: is it something I can implement, or does that functionality have any C++-specific requirements?)

Thanks!

There is no plan to support this...

You can do it yourself, see:

In case anyone stumbles upon this issue while looking for a solution to the same problem, here's my brief attempt:

Caveat emptor :). It's almost certainly broken somewhere.
