# Tint
|
|
|
|
Tint is a compiler for the WebGPU Shader Language (WGSL).
|
|
|
|
This is not an officially supported Google product.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
* Git
|
|
* CMake (3.10.2 or later)
|
|
* Ninja (or other build tool)
|
|
* Python, for fetching dependencies
|
|
* [depot_tools] in your path
|
|
|
|
## Build options
|
|
* `TINT_BUILD_SPV_READER` : enable the SPIR-V input reader (off by default)
|
|
* `TINT_BUILD_WGSL_READER` : enable the WGSL input reader (on by default)
|
|
* `TINT_BUILD_SPV_WRITER` : enable the SPIR-V output writer (on by default)
|
|
* `TINT_BUILD_WGSL_WRITER` : enable the WGSL output writer (on by default)
|
|
* `TINT_BUILD_FUZZERS` : enable building fuzzzers (off by default)
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
Tint uses Chromium dependency management so you need to install [depot_tools]
|
|
and add it to your PATH.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Getting source & dependencies
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Clone the repo as "tint"
|
|
git clone https://dawn.googlesource.com/tint tint
|
|
cd tint
|
|
|
|
# Bootstrap the gclient configuration
|
|
cp standalone.gclient .gclient
|
|
|
|
# Fetch external dependencies and toolchains with gclient
|
|
gclient sync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Compiling using CMake + Ninja
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p out/Debug
|
|
cd out/Debug
|
|
cmake -GNinja ../..
|
|
ninja # or autoninja
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Compiling using CMake + make
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p out/Debug
|
|
cd out/Debug
|
|
cmake ../..
|
|
make # -j N for N-way parallel build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Compiling using gn + ninja
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p out/Debug
|
|
gn gen out/Debug
|
|
autoninja -C out/Debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Fuzzers on MacOS
|
|
If you are attempting fuzz, using `TINT_BUILD_FUZZERS=ON`, the version of llvm
|
|
in the XCode SDK does not have the needed libfuzzer functionality included.
|
|
|
|
The build error that you will see from using the XCode SDK will look something
|
|
like this:
|
|
```
|
|
ld: file not found:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/11.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.fuzzer_osx.a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The solution to this problem is to use a full version llvm, like what you would
|
|
get via homebrew, `brew install llvm`, and use something like `CC=<path to full
|
|
clang> cmake ..` to setup a build using that toolchain.
|
|
|
|
### Checking [chromium-style] issues in CMake builds
|
|
The gn based work flow uses the Chromium toolchain for building in anticipation
|
|
of integration of Tint into Chromium based projects. This toolchain has
|
|
additional plugins for checking for style issues, which are marked with
|
|
[chromium-style] in log messages. This means that this toolchain is more strict
|
|
then the default clang toolchain.
|
|
|
|
In the future we will have a CQ that will build this work flow and flag issues
|
|
automatically. Until that is in place, to avoid causing breakages you can run
|
|
the [chromium-style] checks using the CMake based work flows. This requires
|
|
setting `CC` to the version of clang checked out by `gclient sync` and setting
|
|
the `TINT_CHECK_CHROMIUM_STYLE` to `ON`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p out/style
|
|
cd out/style
|
|
cmake ../..
|
|
CC=../../third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin/clang cmake -DTINT_CHECK_CHROMIUM_STYLE=ON ../../ # add -GNinja for ninja builds
|
|
```
