🌤 hassle-rs

This crate provides an FFI layer and idiomatic rust wrappers for the new DirectXShaderCompiler library.

• Documentation

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
hassle-rs = "0.11.0"

Then acquire dxcompiler.dll on Windows or libdxcompiler.so on Linux directly from AppVeyor, or compile it from source according to the instructions in the DirectXShaderCompiler GitHub repository and make sure it's in the executable environment. See our support table below for specific compatibility notes on non-Windows OSes.

DxcValidator also requires dxil.dll which can be grabbed from any recent DXC release: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/releases/latest More info: https://www.wihlidal.com/blog/pipeline/2018-09-16-dxil-signing-post-compile/

Supported DXC versions on non-Windows

Outside of Windows (e.g. Unix) the emulated COM API needed its fair share of fixes to match the layout on Windows. This results in repetitive API breakage that is hard to detect from within hassle-rs: be sure to math the hassle-rs release below to a minimum DXC commit to prevent runtime failures outside of Windows!

When compiling on MacOS with clang, or Linux with gcc, be sure to have at least https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/commit/af14220b45d3ce46e0bad51ce79655e41d07c478 (also included in release-1.6.2012).

These patches have had an effect on hassle-rs compatibility over time:

• [Linux] WinAdapter: Remove virtual dtors from IUnknown to fix vtable ABI
• Linux: Implement prefix-counted BSTR allocation in SysAllocStringLen
• [linux-port] Support full IID comparison on GCC

Usage examples

Compile HLSL into SPIR-V

let spirv = compile_hlsl(
    "shader_filename.hlsl",
    code,
    "copyCs",
    "cs_6_5",
    &vec!["-spirv"],
    &vec![
        ("MY_DEFINE", Some("Value")),
        ("OTHER_DEFINE", None)
    ],
);

Compile HLSL into DXIL and validate it

let dxil = compile_hlsl("test.cs.hlsl", test_cs, "main", "cs_6_5", args, &[]).unwrap();
let result = validate_dxil(&dxil); // Only a Windows machine in Developer Mode can run non-validated DXIL

if let Some(err) = result.err() {
    println!("validation failed: {}", err);
}
