GL_EXT_conservative_depth

Valid APIs

OpenGL ES 3.0+

Description

This extension allows developers to pass information about fragment shader depth modifications to the GL implementation so that early depth testing can still be performed safely.

Registry Link

https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/EXT/EXT_conservative_depth.txt

Example

//depth will only be increased, so if depth test is GL_LESS early depth testing can still be performed
  layout (depth_greater) out float gl_FragDepth;
