glnext-compiler¶

pip install glnext-compiler

This library is a standalone GLSL compiler for vulkan projects. The binaries do not require the vulkan-sdk to be installed. This library uses shaderc.

There is a single method available:

glnext_compiler.glsl(source: str) → bytes¶

It compiles the souce into spv and returns it as bytes. The result can be saved to a file or used directly for glnext pipeline creation. The result is platform independend and can be shipped instead of the source code.

“Explicit is better than implicit.”

The glsl version and shader stage must be specified.
The layout quailfiers are obligatory for all types.

Examples¶

from glnext_compiler import glsl

spv = glsl('''
    #version 450
    #pragma shader_stage(vertex)

    layout (location = 0) in vec2 in_vert;

    void main() {
        gl_Position = vec4(in_vert, 0.0, 1.0);
    }
''')
