SPV_GOOGLE_user_type

SPV_GOOGLE_user_type

See Issues list in the Khronos SPIRV-Registry repository: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Registry

This extension is written against the SPIR-V Specification, Version 1.2 Revision 4, Unified.

This extension requires SPIR-V 1.0.

This extension also implicitly includes the SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string extension.

This extension provides one new decoration, UserTypeGOOGLE, that allows HLL shader compilers to optionally embed unambiguous type information.

The decoration UserTypeGOOGLE is used with OpDecorateString(GOOGLE) and OpMemberDecorateString(GOOGLE) to store a string name for the type of the decorated object in the user’s source. It can decorate only a variable, a type, or a member of a structure type. This has no semantic impact.

The following table describes standard HLSL resource types and their corresponding string names:

If the HLSL type includes template parameters, they will be appended to the corresponding string name in the format :<comma-separated-list>. For example, the SPIR-V variable corresponding to an HLSL variable with type Texture2DMSArray<float4, 64> would be decorated with "texture2dmsarray:<float4,64>".

To use this extension within a SPIR-V module, the following OpExtension must be present in the module:

None.

None.

None.

An OpExtension must be added to the SPIR-V for validation layers to check legal use of this extension:
