Fix.
>From GLSL3.0 Spec(section 7.1)
"The variable gl_Position is intended for writing the homogeneous vertex
position. It can be written at any time during shader execution. This value
will be used by primitive assembly, clipping, culling, and other fixed
functionality operations, if present, that operate on primitives after vertex
processing has occurred. Its value is undefined after the vertex processing
stage if the vertex shader executable does not write gl_Position."
Failing to write to a gl_position is not an error and atleast the linking of
shaders should pass. Mesa throws an linker error in case we dont write to a
gl_position.
GL & GLSL version:
OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 10.3.0-devel (git-a1853ea)
OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.0
Use Case:
The following WebGL conformance tests fail when running Chromium Web Browser
with Wayland(<a href="https://github.com/01org/ozone-wayland">https://github.com/01org/ozone-wayland</a>)
