# SPIR-V Tools
## Overview
The SPIR-V Tools project provides an API and commands for processing SPIR-V
modules.
The project includes an assembler, binary module parser, disassembler,
validator, and optimizer for SPIR-V. Except for the optimizer, all are based
on a common static library. The library contains all of the implementation
details, and is used in the standalone tools whilst also enabling integration
into other code bases directly. The optimizer implementation resides in its
own library, which depends on the core library.
The interfaces have stabilized:
We don't anticipate making a breaking change for existing features.
SPIR-V is defined by the Khronos Group Inc.
See the [SPIR-V Registry][spirv-registry] for the SPIR-V specification,
headers, and XML registry.

## Versioning SPIRV-Tools
See [`CHANGES`](CHANGES) for a high level summary of recent changes, by version.
SPIRV-Tools project version numbers are of the form `v`*year*`.`*index* and with
an optional `-dev` suffix to indicate work in progress. For exampe, the
following versions are ordered from oldest to newest:
* `v2016.0`
* `v2016.1-dev`
* `v2016.1`
* `v2016.2-dev`
* `v2016.2`
Use the `--version` option on each command line tool to see the software
version. An API call reports the software version as a C-style string.
## Supported features
### Assembler, binary parser, and disassembler
* Support for SPIR-V 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3
* Based on SPIR-V syntax described by JSON grammar files in the
[SPIRV-Headers](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers) repository.
* Support for extended instruction sets:
* GLSL std450 version 1.0 Rev 3
* OpenCL version 1.0 Rev 2
* Assembler only does basic syntax checking. No cross validation of
IDs or types is performed, except to check literal arguments to
`OpConstant`, `OpSpecConstant`, and `OpSwitch`.
See [`syntax.md`](syntax.md) for the assembly language syntax.
### Validator
The validator checks validation rules described by the SPIR-V specification.
Khronos recommends that tools that create or transform SPIR-V modules use the
validator to ensure their outputs are valid, and that tools that consume SPIR-V
modules optionally use the validator to protect themselves from bad inputs.
This is especially encouraged for debug and development scenarios.
The validator has one-sided error: it will only return an error when it has
implemented a rule check and the module violates that rule.
The validator is incomplete.
See the [CHANGES](CHANGES) file for reports on completed work, and
the [Validator
sub-project](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/projects/1) for planned
and in-progress work.
*Note*: The validator checks some Universal Limits, from section 2.17 of the SPIR-V spec.
The validator will fail on a module that exceeds those minimum upper bound limits.
It is [future work](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/projects/1#card-1052403)
to parameterize the validator to allow larger
limits accepted by a more than minimally capable SPIR-V consumer.
### Optimizer
*Note:* The optimizer is still under development.
Currently supported optimizations:
* General
* Strip debug info
* Specialization Constants
* Set spec constant default value
* Freeze spec constant
* Fold `OpSpecConstantOp` and `OpSpecConstantComposite`
* Unify constants
* Eliminate dead constant
* Code Reduction
* Inline all function calls exhaustively
* Convert local access chains to inserts/extracts
* Eliminate local load/store in single block
* Eliminate local load/store with single store
* Eliminate local load/store with multiple stores
* Eliminate local extract from insert
* Eliminate dead instructions (aggressive)
* Eliminate dead branches
* Merge single successor / single predecessor block pairs
* Eliminate common uniform loads
* Remove duplicates: Capabilities, extended instruction imports, types, and
decorations.
For the latest list with detailed documentation, please refer to
[`include/spirv-tools/optimizer.hpp`](include/spirv-tools/optimizer.hpp).
For suggestions on using the code reduction options, please refer to this [white paper](https://www.lunarg.com/shader-compiler-technologies/white-paper-spirv-opt/).
### Linker
*Note:* The linker is still under development.
Current features:
* Combine multiple SPIR-V binary modules together.
* Combine into a library (exports are retained) or an executable (no symbols
are exported).
See the [CHANGES](CHANGES) file for reports on completed work, and the [General
sub-project](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/projects/2) for
planned and in-progress work.
### Reducer
*Note:* The reducer is still under development.
The reducer simplifies and shrinks a SPIR-V module with respect to a
user-supplied *interestingness function*. For example, given a large
SPIR-V module that cause some SPIR-V compiler to fail with a given
fatal error message, the reducer could be used to look for a smaller
version of the module that causes the compiler to fail with the same
fatal error message.
To suggest an additional capability for the reducer, [file an
issue](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues]) with
"Reducer:" as the start of its title.
### Extras
* [Utility filters](#utility-filters)
* Build target `spirv-tools-vimsyntax` generates file `spvasm.vim`.
Copy that file into your `$HOME/.vim/syntax` directory to get SPIR-V assembly syntax
highlighting in Vim. This build target is not built by default.
## Contributing
The SPIR-V Tools project is maintained by members of the The Khronos Group Inc.,
and is hosted at https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools.
Consider joining the `public_spirv_tools_dev@khronos.org` mailing list, via
[https://www.khronos.org/spir/spirv-tools-mailing-list/](https://www.khronos.org/spir/spirv-tools-mailing-list/).
The mailing list is used to discuss development plans for the SPIRV-Tools as an open source project.
Once discussion is resolved,
specific work is tracked via issues and sometimes in one of the
[projects][spirv-tools-projects].
(To provide feedback on the SPIR-V _specification_, file an issue on the
[SPIRV-Headers][spirv-headers] GitHub repository.)
See [`projects.md`](projects.md) to see how we use the
[GitHub Project
feature](https://help.github.com/articles/tracking-the-progress-of-your-work-with-projects/)
to organize planned and in-progress work.
Contributions via merge request are welcome. Changes should:
* Be provided under the [Apache 2.0](#license).
* You'll be prompted with a one-time "click-through"
[Khronos Open Source Contributor License Agreement][spirv-tools-cla]
(CLA) dialog as part of submitting your pull request or
other contribution to GitHub.
* Include tests to cover updated functionality.
* C++ code should follow the [Google C++ Style Guide][cpp-style-guide].
* Code should be formatted with `clang-format`.
[kokoro/check-format/build.sh](kokoro/check-format/build.sh)
shows how to download it. Note that we currently use
`clang-format version 5.0.0` for SPIRV-Tools. Settings are defined by
the included [.clang-format](.clang-format) file.
We intend to maintain a linear history on the GitHub `master` branch.
### Source code organization
* `example`: demo code of using SPIRV-Tools APIs
* `external/googletest`: Intended location for the
[googletest][googletest] sources, not provided
* `external/effcee`: Location of [Effcee][effcee] sources, if the `effcee` library
is not already configured by an enclosing project.
* `external/re2`: Location of [RE2][re2] sources, if the `re2` library is not already
configured by an enclosing project.
(The Effcee project already requires RE2.)
* `include/`: API clients should add this directory to the include search path
* `external/spirv-headers`: Intended location for
[SPIR-V headers][spirv-headers], not provided
* `include/spirv-tools/libspirv.h`: C API public interface
* `source/`: API implementation
* `test/`: Tests, using the [googletest][googletest] framework
* `tools/`: Command line executables
Example of getting sources, assuming SPIRV-Tools is configured as a standalone project:
git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools.git spirv-tools
git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers.git spirv-tools/external/spirv-headers
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git spirv-tools/external/googletest
git clone https://github.com/google/effcee.git spirv-tools/external/effcee
git clone https://github.com/google/re2.git spirv-tools/external/re2
### Tests
The project contains a number of tests, used to drive development
and ensure correctness. The tests are written using the
[googletest][googletest] framework. The `googletest`
source is not provided with this project. There are two ways to enable
tests:
* If SPIR-V Tools is configured as part of an enclosing project, then the
enclosing project should configure `googletest` before configuring SPIR-V Tools.
* If SPIR-V Tools is configured as a standalone project, then download the
`googletest` source into the `<spirv-dir>/external/googletest` directory before
configuring and building the project.
*Note*: You must use a version of googletest that includes
[a fix][googletest-pull-612] for [googletest issue 610][googletest-issue-610].
The fix is included on the googletest master branch any time after 2015-11-10.
In particular, googletest must be newer than version 1.7.0.
### Dependency on Effcee
Some tests depend on the [Effcee][effcee] library for stateful matching.
Effcee itself depends on [RE2][re2].
* If SPIRV-Tools is configured as part of a larger project that already uses
Effcee, then that project should include Effcee before SPIRV-Tools.
* Otherwise, SPIRV-Tools expects Effcee sources to appear in `external/effcee`
and RE2 sources to appear in `external/re2`.
## Build
Instead of building manually, you can also download the binaries for your
platform directly from the [master-tot release][master-tot-release] on GitHub.
Those binaries are automatically uploaded by the buildbots after successful
testing and they always reflect the current top of the tree of the master
branch.
The project uses [CMake][cmake] to generate platform-specific build
configurations. Assume that `<spirv-dir>` is the root directory of the checked
out code:
```sh
cd <spirv-dir>
git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers.git external/spirv-headers
git clone https://github.com/google/effcee.git external/effcee
git clone https://github.com/google/re2.git external/re2
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git external/googletest # optional
mkdir build && cd build
cmake [-G <platform-generator>] <spirv-dir>
```
Once the build files have been generated, build using your preferred
development environment.
### Tools you'll need
For building and testing SPIRV-Tools, the following tools should be
installed regardless of your OS:
- [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/): for generating compilation targets. Version
2.8.12 or later.
- [Python 3](http://www.python.org/): for utility scripts and running the test
suite.
SPIRV-Tools is regularly tested with the the following compilers:
On Linux
- GCC version 4.8.5
- Clang version 3.8
On MacOS
- AppleClang 10.0
On Windows
- Visual Studio 2015
- Visual Studio 2017
Other compilers or later versions may work, but they are not tested.
### CMake options
The following CMake options are supported:
* `SPIRV_COLOR_TERMINAL={ON|OFF}`, default `ON` - Enables color console output.
* `SPIRV_SKIP_TESTS={ON|OFF}`, default `OFF`- Build only the library and
the command line tools. This will prevent the tests from being built.
* `SPIRV_SKIP_EXECUTABLES={ON|OFF}`, default `OFF`- Build only the library, not
the command line tools and tests.
* `SPIRV_BUILD_COMPRESSION={ON|OFF}`, default `OFF`- Build SPIR-V compressing
codec.
* `SPIRV_USE_SANITIZER=<sanitizer>`, default is no sanitizing - On UNIX
platforms with an appropriate version of `clang` this option enables the use
of the sanitizers documented [here][clang-sanitizers].
This should only be used with a debug build.
* `SPIRV_WARN_EVERYTHING={ON|OFF}`, default `OFF` - On UNIX platforms enable
more strict warnings. The code might not compile with this option enabled.
For Clang, enables `-Weverything`. For GCC, enables `-Wpedantic`.
See [`CMakeLists.txt`](CMakeLists.txt) for details.
* `SPIRV_WERROR={ON|OFF}`, default `ON` - Forces a compilation error on any
warnings encountered by enabling the compiler-specific compiler front-end
option. No compiler front-end options are enabled when this option is OFF.
Additionally, you can pass additional C preprocessor definitions to SPIRV-Tools
via setting `SPIRV_TOOLS_EXTRA_DEFINITIONS`. For example, by setting it to
`/D_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=0` on Windows, you can disable checked iterators and
iterator debugging.
### Android
SPIR-V Tools supports building static libraries `libSPIRV-Tools.a` and
`libSPIRV-Tools-opt.a` for Android:
```
cd <spirv-dir>
export ANDROID_NDK=/path/to/your/ndk
mkdir build && cd build
mkdir libs
mkdir app
$ANDROID_NDK/ndk-build -C ../android_test \
NDK_PROJECT_PATH=. \
NDK_LIBS_OUT=`pwd`/libs \
NDK_APP_OUT=`pwd`/app
```
## Library
### Usage
The internals of the library use C++11 features, and are exposed via both a C
and C++ API.
In order to use the library from an application, the include path should point
to `<spirv-dir>/include`, which will enable the application to include the
header `<spirv-dir>/include/spirv-tools/libspirv.h{|pp}` then linking against
the static library in `<spirv-build-dir>/source/libSPIRV-Tools.a` or
`<spirv-build-dir>/source/SPIRV-Tools.lib`.
For optimization, the header file is
`<spirv-dir>/include/spirv-tools/optimizer.hpp`, and the static library is
`<spirv-build-dir>/source/libSPIRV-Tools-opt.a` or
`<spirv-build-dir>/source/SPIRV-Tools-opt.lib`.
* `SPIRV-Tools` CMake target: Creates the static library:
* `<spirv-build-dir>/source/libSPIRV-Tools.a` on Linux and OS X.
* `<spirv-build-dir>/source/libSPIRV-Tools.lib` on Windows.
* `SPIRV-Tools-opt` CMake target: Creates the static library:
* `<spirv-build-dir>/source/libSPIRV-Tools-opt.a` on Linux and OS X.
* `<spirv-build-dir>/source/libSPIRV-Tools-opt.lib` on Windows.
#### Entry points
The interfaces are still under development, and are expected to change.
There are five main entry points into the library in the C interface:
* `spvTextToBinary`: An assembler, translating text to a binary SPIR-V module.
* `spvBinaryToText`: A disassembler, translating a binary SPIR-V module to
text.
* `spvBinaryParse`: The entry point to a binary parser API. It issues callbacks
for the header and each parsed instruction. The disassembler is implemented
as a client of `spvBinaryParse`.
* `spvValidate` implements the validator functionality. *Incomplete*
* `spvValidateBinary` implements the validator functionality. *Incomplete*
The C++ interface is comprised of three classes, `SpirvTools`, `Optimizer` and
`Linker`, all in the `spvtools` namespace.
* `SpirvTools` provides `Assemble`, `Disassemble`, and `Validate` methods.
* `Optimizer` provides methods for registering and running optimization passes.
* `Linker` provides methods for combining together multiple binaries.
## Command line tools
Command line tools, which wrap the above library functions, are provided to
assemble or disassemble shader files. It's a convention to name SPIR-V
assembly and binary files with suffix `.spvasm` and `.spv`, respectively.
### Assembler tool
The assembler reads the assembly language text, and emits the binary form.
The standalone assembler is the exectuable called `spirv-as`, and is located in
`<spirv-build-dir>/tools/spirv-as`. The functionality of the assembler is implemented
by the `spvTextToBinary` library function.
* `spirv-as` - the standalone assembler
* `<spirv-dir>/tools/as`
Use option `-h` to print help.
### Disassembler tool
The disassembler reads the binary form, and emits assembly language text.
The standalone disassembler is the executable called `spirv-dis`, and is located in
`<spirv-build-dir>/tools/spirv-dis`. The functionality of the disassembler is implemented
by the `spvBinaryToText` library function.
* `spirv-dis` - the standalone disassembler
* `<spirv-dir>/tools/dis`
Use option `-h` to print help.
The output includes syntax colouring when printing to the standard output stream,
on Linux, Windows, and OS X.
### Linker tool
The linker combines multiple SPIR-V binary modules together, resulting in a single
binary module as output.
This is a work in progress.
The linker does not support OpenCL program linking options related to math
flags. (See section 5.6.5.2 in OpenCL 1.2)
* `spirv-link` - the standalone linker
* `<spirv-dir>/tools/link`
### Optimizer tool
The optimizer processes a SPIR-V binary module, applying transformations
in the specified order.
This is a work in progress, with initially only few available transformations.
* `spirv-opt` - the standalone optimizer
* `<spirv-dir>/tools/opt`
### Validator tool
*Warning:* This functionality is under development, and is incomplete.
The standalone validator is the executable called `spirv-val`, and is located in
`<spirv-build-dir>/tools/spirv-val`. The functionality of the validator is implemented
by the `spvValidate` library function.
The validator operates on the binary form.
* `spirv-val` - the standalone validator
* `<spirv-dir>/tools/val`
### Reducer tool
The reducer shrinks a SPIR-V binary module, guided by a user-supplied
*interestingness test*.
This is a work in progress, with initially only shrinks a module in a few ways.
* `spirv-reduce` - the standalone reducer
* `<spirv-dir>/tools/reduce`
Run `spirv-reduce --help` to see how to specify interestingness.
### Control flow dumper tool
The control flow dumper prints the control flow graph for a SPIR-V module as a
[GraphViz](http://www.graphviz.org/) graph.
This is experimental.
* `spirv-cfg` - the control flow graph dumper
* `<spirv-dir>/tools/cfg`
### Utility filters
* `spirv-lesspipe.sh` - Automatically disassembles `.spv` binary files for the
`less` program, on compatible systems. For example, set the `LESSOPEN`
environment variable as follows, assuming both `spirv-lesspipe.sh` and
`spirv-dis` are on your executable search path:
```
export LESSOPEN='| spirv-lesspipe.sh "%s"'
```
Then you page through a disassembled module as follows:
```
less foo.spv
```
* The `spirv-lesspipe.sh` script will pass through any extra arguments to
`spirv-dis`. So, for example, you can turn off colours and friendly ID
naming as follows:
```
export LESSOPEN='| spirv-lesspipe.sh "%s" --no-color --raw-id'
```
* [vim-spirv](https://github.com/kbenzie/vim-spirv) - A vim plugin which
supports automatic disassembly of `.spv` files using the `:edit` command and
assembly using the `:write` command. The plugin also provides additional
features which include; syntax highlighting; highlighting of all ID's matching
the ID under the cursor; and highlighting errors where the `Instruction`
operand of `OpExtInst` is used without an appropriate `OpExtInstImport`.
* `50spirv-tools.el` - Automatically disassembles '.spv' binary files when
loaded into the emacs text editor, and re-assembles them when saved,
provided any modifications to the file are valid. This functionality
must be explicitly requested by defining the symbol
SPIRV_TOOLS_INSTALL_EMACS_HELPERS as follows:
```
cmake -DSPIRV_TOOLS_INSTALL_EMACS_HELPERS=true ...
```
In addition, this helper is only installed if the directory /etc/emacs/site-start.d
exists, which is typically true if emacs is installed on the system.
Note that symbol IDs are not currently preserved through a load/edit/save operation.
This may change if the ability is added to spirv-as.
### Tests
Tests are only built when googletest is found. Use `ctest` to run all the
tests.
## Future Work
<a name="future"></a>
_See the [projects pages](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/projects)
for more information._
### Assembler and disassembler
* The disassembler could emit helpful annotations in comments. For example:
* Use variable name information from debug instructions to annotate
key operations on variables.
* Show control flow information by annotating `OpLabel` instructions with
that basic block's predecessors.
* Error messages could be improved.
### Validator
This is a work in progress.
### Linker
* The linker could accept math transformations such as allowing MADs, or other
math flags passed at linking-time in OpenCL.
* Linkage attributes can not be applied through a group.
* Check decorations of linked functions attributes.
* Remove dead instructions, such as OpName targeting imported symbols.
