这应该会让您开始使用统一缓冲区对象来存储数组.注意GL要求UBO的最小容量为16 KiB，最大容量可以通过GL_MAX_UNIFORM_BLOCK_SIZE查询.

This should get you started using a Uniform Buffer Object to store an array. Note that GL requires UBOs to have a minimum capacity of 16 KiB, the maximum capacity can be queried through GL_MAX_UNIFORM_BLOCK_SIZE.

#version 140 // GL 3.1

// Arrays in a UBO must use a constant expression for their size.
const int MY_ARRAY_SIZE = 512;

// The name of the block is used for finding the index location only
layout (std140) uniform myArrayBlock {
  int myArray [MY_ARRAY_SIZE]; // This is the important name (in the shader).
};

void main (void) {
  gl_FragColor = vec4 ((float)myArray [0] * 0.1, vec3 (1.0));
}

OpenGL 代码

const int MY_ARRAY_SIZE = 512;

GLuint myArrayUBO;
glGenBuffers (1, &myArrayUBO);

// Allocate storage for the UBO
glBindBuffer (GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER, myArrayUBO);
glBufferData (GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER, sizeof (GLint) * MY_ARRAY_SIZE,
              NULL, GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW);

[...]

// When you want to update the data in your UBO, you do it like you would any
//   other buffer object.
glBufferSubData (GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER, ...);

[...]

GLuint myArrayBlockIdx = glGetUniformBlockIndex (GLSLProgramID, "myArrayBlock");

glUniformBlockBinding (GLSLProgramID,     myArrayBlockIdx, 0);
glBindBufferBase      (GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER, 0,               myArrayUBO);

我可能忘记了一些东西，我不写教程是有原因的.如果您在执行此操作时遇到任何问题，请发表评论.

I am probably forgetting something, there is a reason I do not write tutorials. If you have any trouble implementing this, leave a comment.

注意glUniformBlockBinding(...)和glBindBufferBase(...)中使用的0是绑定的全局标识符观点.当与 std140 布局结合使用时，这意味着您可以在任何 GLSL 程序中使用此 UBO，在该程序中您将其统一块之一绑定到该绑定位置 (0).当您想在几十个不同的 GLSL 程序之间共享诸如 ModelView 和 Projection 矩阵之类的东西时，这实际上非常方便.

Note that the 0 used in glUniformBlockBinding (...) and glBindBufferBase (...) is a global identifier for the binding point. When used in conjunction with the std140 layout, this means that you can use this UBO in any GLSL program where you bind one of its uniform blocks to that binding location (0). This is actually extremely handy when you want to share something like your ModelView and Projection matrices between dozens of different GLSL programs.
