Please ignore Raw string literals.

[DaveHoskins]

Hi, I'd like to #include my shaders with my source code, unfortunately I can't put
R"( and )" around my shader because the syntax high-lighting gets completely removed.
Is there anyway it can just ignore the R"( at the start of the code?
Thanks.

Do you mean you're adding R"( and )" in HLSL code, or C++ code? I didn't think HLSL supports raw string literals, so I'm closing this for now, but please re-open if it does in fact support raw string literals.

This is in C++, I'm including the HLSL code as an 'h' file but with the appropriate file extension. To do that in C++ you have to have those simbols around the code..Like so...

R"(

#version 120
uniform sampler2D texture0;
varying vec2 texCoord;
void main(void)
{
vec3 col = texture2D(texture0, texCoord).xyz;
gl_FragDepth = 1.0;
gl_FragColor = vec4(col, 1.0);
}
)"

I get what you're trying to do, but that's pretty strange. Those aren't valid HLSL files anymore.

I feel like most large/medium-scale projects precompile their shaders and load them from the filesystem. If you really want to avoid that for whatever reason, you should embed them as resources in the executable.

@DaveHoskins can you #include the shader code like this, so that you can still edit the shader as a standalone file?

R"(
#include "myshader"
)"

By the way, the shader code you included is GLSL, but maybe that was just as an example.

Nevermind, it's part of c++11, a feature called raw string literals. Like I said, nevermind, I'll do it another way. : )
