Gshaderc is a golang wrapper to for https://github.com/google/shaderc. It's a pretty straight forward mapping of the C API
The goal in providing this wrapper primarily is for allowing golang Vulkan applications to compile shaders as need.
- You'll need to install and compile https://github.com/google/shaderc [1]
- go get -u github.com/celer/gshaderc
Here is the simplest example:
source := "#version 450\nvoid main() {}"
// This will assume you're targeting Vulkan, with an entry point of 'main' and infers the shader type based upon filename
data, err := CompileShader(source, "main.vert", "")Here is a more complex example:
options := gs.NewCompilerOptions()
defer options.Release()
compiler := gs.NewCompiler()
defer compiler.Release()
data, err := ioutil.ReadFile(*input)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
options.SetOptimizationLevel(gs.Performance)
result := compiler.CompileIntoSPV(string(data), shaderType, filename, entryPoint, options)
defer result.Release()
if result.Error() == nil {
err := ioutil.WriteFile("output", result.Bytes(), 0644)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
} else {
panic(result.Error())
}There cmd/gsc.go is a tool to either manually or automatically compile shaders based off of changes. The default output name is to append .spv to compile files, and it will look for the extensions .vert, .frag, .comp, .tesc, .geom and .tese and automatically compile these files into shaders for the given target when they change.
