About:
Shaderc is a collection of tools and libraries designed to compile GLSL and HLSL shaders into SPIR-V, the intermediate representation for Vulkan. It provides a programmatic API and command-line utilities like glslc for seamless integration into graphics development workflows. This ensures shaders are optimized and compatible with Vulkan drivers.
|
Key Features:
- Command-line compiler (glslc) with GCC/Clang-like usage
- C++ library API for programmatic shader compilation
- Supports GLSL and HLSL source languages
- Includes an optional optimizer for performance tuning
- Robust preprocessor and include management
|
Use Cases:
- Compiling shaders for Vulkan-based graphics applications
- Integrating shader compilation into build systems (e.g., CMake)
- Validating shader syntax and semantics during development
|
Alternatives:
-
glslang
– Shaderc uses glslang as a frontend validator but adds a more user-friendly API and tooling wrapper.
