Meaning of “bindable uniform vec4 vertices[%d]；”

[apapaxionga]

In the OpenGL SDK 10's example :Instanced Tessellation,i found the fellowing GPU code, i do not understand the meaning of vertices[%d]. What is the actual size of vertices array?
%d equals to what? Where can i set it?

// Vertex shader.
static const char * s_tessellationVertexShaderText =
"#version 120\n"
"#extension GL_EXT_bindable_uniform : enable\n"
"#extension GL_EXT_gpu_shader4 : enable\n"
"\n"
"bindable uniform vec4 vertices[%d];\n"
"\n"

It's probably run through printf() to hardcode the number of vertices in the shader source. There is no %d syntax in GLSL.

You are right&amp;#65292;Thank you&amp;#12290; i found that code

sprintf(vertexShaderText, s_tessellationVertexShaderText, c_teapotIndexCount);
