This method checks that the define array does not contain multiple entries with the same identifier. It also runs data validation on each element individually.

Examples

using UnityEditor.Shaders;using UnityEngine;public class DefineValidationExample{    void ValidateDefines()    {        string[] defineArray = new string[] { "MAX_NUM_LIGHTS 8", "EPSILON 0.1f" };        // Check if the define array is valid. This will catch both duplicates and invalid individual defines.        string validationErrors;        if (!ShaderBuildSettings.ValidateDefines(defineArray, out validationErrors))        {             Debug.LogWarning(validationErrors);        }    }}
