31Dependencies
32
33    OpenGL 3.0 or OpenGL ES 3.0 is required. This extension interacts with
34    GL_ARB_ES3_compatibility.
35
36    This extension is written against the OpenGL 4.4 (core) specification
37    and the GLSL 4.40 specification.
38
39Overview
40
41    GLSL 1.30 (and GLSL ES 3.00) expanded the mix() built-in function to
42    operate on a boolean third argument that does not interpolate but
43    selects. This extension extends mix() to select between int, uint,
44    and bool components.

60      Syntax                       Description
61      ---------------------------  --------------------------------------------------
62      genIType mix(genIType x,     Selects which vector each returned component comes
63                   genIType y,     from. For a component of a that is false, the
64                   genBType a)     corresponding component of x is returned. For a
65      genUType mix(genUType x,     component of a that is true, the corresponding
66                   genUType y,     component of y is returned.
67                   genBType a)
68      genBType mix(genBType x,
69                   genBType y,
70                   genBType a)

72Additions to the AGL/GLX/WGL Specifications
73
74    None.
75
76Modifications to The OpenGL Shading Language Specification, Version 4.40
77
78    Including the following line in a shader can be used to control the
79    language features described in this extension:
80
81      #extension GL_EXT_shader_integer_mix : <behavior>
82
83    where <behavior> is as specified in section 3.3.
84
85    New preprocessor #defines are added to the OpenGL Shading Language:
86
87      #define GL_EXT_shader_integer_mix        1
88
89Interactions with ARB_ES3_compatibility
90
91    On desktop implementations that support ARB_ES3_compatibility,
92    GL_EXT_shader_integer_mix can be enabled (and the new functions
93    used) in shaders declared with '#version 300 es'.

111Issues
112
113    1) Should we allow linear interpolation of integers via a non-boolean
114       third component?
115
116    RESOLVED: No.
117
118    2) Should we allow mix() to select between boolean components?
119
120    RESOLVED: Yes. Implementing the same functionality using casts would be
121    possible but ugly.
