shaderc-rs
Rust bindings for the shaderc library.
Disclaimer
This is not an official Google product (experimental or otherwise), it is just code that happens to be owned by Google.
Usage
The included shaderc-sys crate uses build.rs
to
discover or build a copy of shaderc libraries. See Setup section.
First add to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
shaderc = "0.8"
Then add to your crate root:
extern crate shaderc;
Documentation
shaderc provides the Compiler
interface to compile GLSL/HLSL
source code into SPIR-V binary modules or assembly code. It can also assemble
SPIR-V assembly into binary module. Default compilation behavior can be
adjusted using CompileOptions
. Successful results are kept in
CompilationArtifact
s.
Please see
for detailed documentation.
Example
Compile a shader into SPIR-V binary module and assembly text:
use shaderc;
let source = "#version 310 es\n void EP() {}";
let mut compiler = shaderc::Compiler::new().unwrap();
let mut options = shaderc::CompileOptions::new().unwrap();
options.add_macro_definition("EP", Some("main"));
let binary_result = compiler.compile_into_spirv(
source, shaderc::ShaderKind::Vertex,
"shader.glsl", "main", Some(&options)).unwrap();
assert_eq!(Some(&0x07230203), binary_result.as_binary().first());
let text_result = compiler.compile_into_spirv_assembly(
source, shaderc::ShaderKind::Vertex,
"shader.glsl", "main", Some(&options)).unwrap();
assert!(text_result.as_text().starts_with("; SPIR-V\n"));
Setup
shaderc-rs needs the C++ shaderc library. It's shipped inside the Vulkan SDK. You may be able to install it directly on some Linux distro's using the package manager. The C++ shaderc project provides artifacts downloads. You can also build it from source.
The order of preference in which the build script attempts to obtain native shaderc can be controlled by several options, which are passed through to shaderc-sys when building shaderc-rs:
- Building from source, if option
--features build-from-source
is specified. - If the
SHADERC_LIB_DIR
environment variable is set to/path/to/shaderc/libs/
, that path will be searched for native dynamic or static shaderc library. - If the
VULKAN_SDK
environment variable is set, then$VULKAN_SDK/lib
will be searched for native dynamic or static shaderc library. - On Linux, system library paths like
/usr/lib/
will additionally be searched for native dynamic or shaderc library, if theSHADERC_LIB_DIR
is not set. - Building from source, if the native shaderc library is not found via the above steps.
For each library directory, the build script will try to fine and link to the
dynamic native shaderc library shaderc_shared
first and the static native
shaderc library shaderc_combined
next.
Building from Source
The shaderc-sys build.rs
will automatically
check out and compile a copy of native C++ shaderc and link to the generated
artifacts, which requires git
, cmake
, and python
existing in the PATH
:
- CMake
- Git
- Python (only works with Python 3, on Windows
the executable must be named
python.exe
) - a C++11 compiler
Additionally:
- Ninja is required on windows-msvc, but optional on all other platforms.
These requirements can be either installed with your favourite package manager or with installers from the projects' websites. Below are some example ways to get setup.
windows-msvc Example Setup
rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
- Install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017. If you have already been using this toolchain then its probably already installed.
- Install the necessary tools as listed in the above and add their paths
to the
PATH
environment variable.
windows-gnu Example Setup
windows-gnu toolchain is not supported but you can instead cross-compile to windows-gnu from windows-msvc.
Steps 1 and 2 are to workaround rust-lang/rust#49078 by using the same mingw that rust uses.
- Download and extract https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/rust-lang-ci2/rust-ci-mirror/x86_64-6.3.0-release-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev2.7z
- Add the absolute path to mingw64\bin to your PATH environment variable.
- Run the command:
rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
- Run the command:
rustup target install x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
- Install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017. If you have already been using this toolchain then its probably already installed.
- Install msys2, following ALL of the instructions.
- Then in the msys2 terminal run:
pacman --noconfirm -Syu mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-make mingw-w64-x86_64-python3 mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja
- Add the msys2 mingw64 binary path to the PATH environment variable.
- Any cargo command that builds the project needs to include
--target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
e.g. to run:cargo run --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
Linux Example Setup
Use your package manager to install the required dev-tools
For example on ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git ninja python3
On Arch linux, you can directly install the shaderc package.
macOS Example Setup
Assuming Homebrew:
brew install git cmake ninja python@3.8
