About:
SPIRV-Cross is a library and tool for parsing and converting SPIR-V bytecode. It enables developers to reflect on shader resources and generate high-level source code from SPIR-V, making it essential for cross-platform graphics development.
Key Features:
  • Converts SPIR-V to GLSL, HLSL, MSL, and C++
  • Provides detailed shader resource reflection
  • Parses and decompiles SPIR-V bytecode
  • C++ library with a command-line tool interface
Use Cases:
  • Implementing cross-platform rendering backends
  • Analyzing shader resource usage for engine integration
  • Converting existing SPIR-V shaders for different graphics APIs
Alternatives:
  • glslang – glslang compiles GLSL to SPIR-V, whereas SPIRV-Cross primarily decompiles SPIR-V back to high-level shading languages.
