向glsl shader传递自定义结构体uniform数据的方法 opengl glsl

通常情况下，我们一般都会使用默认的uniform数据类型，比如float,int,vec3等等。如果我们自定义一个结构体，该如何向glsl shader传递自定义结构体uniform数据呢？

// glsl code
...
struct Material {
    vec3 ambient;
    vec3 diffuse;
    vec3 specular;    
    float shininess;
}; 
uniform Material material;	
...

// opengl code
...
// Set material properties
glUniform3f(glGetUniformLocation(lightingShader.Program, "material.ambient"),   1.0f, 0.5f, 0.31f);
glUniform3f(glGetUniformLocation(lightingShader.Program, "material.diffuse"),   1.0f, 0.5f, 0.31f);
glUniform3f(glGetUniformLocation(lightingShader.Program, "material.specular"),  0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f); // Specular doesn't have full effect on this object's material
glUniform1f(glGetUniformLocation(lightingShader.Program, "material.shininess"), 32.0f);
...
