| # SPIR-V Reader |
| |
| This component translates SPIR-V written for Vulkan into the Tint AST. |
| |
| The SPIR-V reader entry point is `tint::spirv::reader::Read()`, which |
| performs the translation of SPIR-V to a `tint::Program`. |
| |
| It's usable from the Tint command line: |
| |
| # Translate SPIR-V into WGSL. |
| tint --format wgsl a.spv |
| |
| ## Supported dialects |
| |
| The SPIR-V module must pass validation for the Vulkan 1.1 environment in SPIRV-Tools. |
| In particular, SPIR-V 1.4 and later are not supported. |
| |
| For example, the equivalent of the following must pass: |
| |
| spirv-val --target-env vulkan1.1 a.spv |
| |
| Additionally, the reader imposes additional constraints based on: |
| |
| * The features supported by WGSL. Some Vulkan features might not be supportable because |
| WebGPU must be portable to other graphics APIs. |
| * Limitations of the reader itself. These might be relaxed in the future with extra |
| engineering work. |
