How to dermine whenever fragment shader is running inside Qt 6 Shader Tools environment?

GamePlayer-8

Good morning,

I've got an issue finding a variable in Qt 6 Shader Tools responsible for determining whenever the fragment shader (*.frag) is running in the Qt application / environment.

I've tried using #ifdef QSB / #ifdef QT_VERSION but to no avail.

Is there such a thing, similar to variables like GL_ES / __VERSION__?

I'm compiling my shader as follows:

qsb --glsl "450" --hlsl 50 --msl 12 -o shader.frag.qsb shader.frag

Hello,
Unfortunately, there's no direct way to determine if your fragment shader is running within a Qt application or environment using built-in preprocessor directives or variables.
Understanding the Limitations
Shader Isolation: Shaders operate in a relatively isolated environment, with limited access to the surrounding application context.
Platform-Specific Information: Information about the application environment is typically handled at a higher level, outside the shader's scope.
