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 for the SPIR-V specification, headers, and XML registry.

Versioning SPIRV-Tools

See CHANGES for a high level summary of recent changes, by version.

SPIRV-Tools project version numbers are of the form vyear.index and with an optional -dev suffix to indicate work in progress. For example, 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, through 1.5
    • Based on SPIR-V syntax described by JSON grammar files in the SPIRV-Headers repository.
    • Usually, support for a new version of SPIR-V is ready within days after publication.
  • 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 docs/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 file for reports on completed work, and the Validator sub-project 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 to parameterize the validator to allow larger limits accepted by a more than minimally capable SPIR-V consumer.

Optimizer

The optimizer is a collection of code transforms, or “passes”. Transforms are written for a diverse set of reasons:

  • To restructure, simplify, or normalize the code for further processing.
  • To eliminate undesirable code.
  • To improve code quality in some metric such as size or performance. Note: These transforms are not guaranteed to actually improve any given metric. Users should always measure results for their own situation.

As of this writing, there are 67 transforms including examples such as:

  • Simplification
    • Strip debug info
    • Strip reflection info
  • Specialization Constants
    • Set spec constant default value
    • Freeze spec constant to default value
    • 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.
  • Normalization
    • Compact IDs
    • CFG cleanup
    • Flatten decorations
    • Merge returns
    • Convert AMD-specific instructions to KHR instructions
  • Code improvement
    • Conditional constant propagation
    • If-conversion
    • Loop fission
    • Loop fusion
    • Loop-invariant code motion
    • Loop unroll
  • Other
    • Generate WebGPU initializers
    • Graphics robust access
    • Upgrade memory model to VulkanKHR

Additionally, certain sets of transformations have been packaged into higher-level recipes. These include:

  • Optimization for size (spirv-opt -Os)
  • Optimization for performance (spirv-opt -O)

For the latest list with detailed documentation, please refer to include/spirv-tools/optimizer.hpp.

For suggestions on using the code reduction options, please refer to this white paper.

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 file for reports on completed work, and the General sub-project 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 with “Reducer:” as the start of its title.

Fuzzer

Note: The fuzzer is still under development.

The fuzzer applies semantics-preserving transformations to a SPIR-V binary module, to produce an equivalent module. The original and transformed modules should produce essentially identical results when executed on identical inputs: their results should differ only due to floating-point round-off, if at all. Significant differences in results can pinpoint bugs in tools that process SPIR-V binaries, such as miscompilations. This metamorphic testing approach is similar to the method used by the GraphicsFuzz project for fuzzing of GLSL shaders.

To suggest an additional capability for the fuzzer, file an issue with “Fuzzer:” as the start of its title.

Extras

  • 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.

Consider joining the public_spirv_tools_dev@khronos.org mailing list, via 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.

(To provide feedback on the SPIR-V specification, file an issue on the SPIRV-Headers GitHub repository.)

See docs/projects.md to see how we use the GitHub Project feature to organize planned and in-progress work.

Contributions via merge request are welcome. Changes should:

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 sources, not provided
  • external/effcee: Location of Effcee sources, if the effcee library is not already configured by an enclosing project.
  • external/re2: Location of 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, not provided
  • include/spirv-tools/libspirv.h: C API public interface
  • source/: API implementation
  • test/: Tests, using the 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 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 for 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 library for stateful matching. Effcee itself depends on 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 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.

In order to build the code, you first need to sync the external repositories that it depends on. Assume that <spirv-dir> is the root directory of the checked out code:

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

Note: The script utils/git-sync-deps can be used to checkout and/or update the contents of the repos under external/ instead of manually maintaining them.

Build using CMake

You can build the project using CMake:

cd <spirv-dir>
mkdir build && cd build
cmake [-G <platform-generator>] <spirv-dir>

Once the build files have been generated, build using the appropriate build command (e.g. ninja, make, msbuild, etc.; this depends on the platform generator used above), or use your IDE, or use CMake to run the appropriate build command for you:

cmake --build . [--config Debug]  # runs `make` or `ninja` or `msbuild` etc.

Note about the fuzzer

The SPIR-V fuzzer, spirv-fuzz, can only be built via CMake, and is disabled by default. To build it, clone protobuf and use the SPIRV_BUILD_FUZZER CMake option, like so:

# In <spirv-dir> (the SPIRV-Tools repo root):
git clone --depth=1 --branch v3.13.0 https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf external/protobuf

# In your build directory:
cmake [-G <platform-generator>] <spirv-dir> -DSPIRV_BUILD_FUZZER=ON
cmake --build . --config Debug

You can also add -DSPIRV_ENABLE_LONG_FUZZER_TESTS=ON to build additional fuzzer tests.

Build using Bazel

You can also use Bazel to build the project.

cd <spirv-dir>
bazel build :all

Tools you'll need

For building and testing SPIRV-Tools, the following tools should be installed regardless of your OS:

  • CMake: if using CMake for generating compilation targets, you need to install CMake Version 2.8.12 or later.
  • Python 3: for utility scripts and running the test suite.
  • Bazel (optional): if building the source with Bazel, you need to install Bazel Version 0.29.1 on your machine. Other versions may also work, but are not verified.

SPIRV-Tools is regularly tested with 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_BUILD_FUZZER={ON|OFF}, default OFF - Build the spirv-fuzz tool.
  • 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_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. 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 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

Updating DEPS

Occasionally the entries in DEPS will need to be updated. This is done on demand when there is a request to do this, often due to downstream breakages. There is a script utils/roll_deps.sh provided, which will generate a patch with the updated DEPS values. This will still need to be tested in your checkout to confirm that there are no integration issues that need to be resolved.

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 executable 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.

Fuzzer tool

The fuzzer transforms a SPIR-V binary module into a semantically-equivalent SPIR-V binary module by applying transformations in a randomized fashion.

This is a work in progress, with initially only a few semantics-preserving transformations.

  • spirv-fuzz - the standalone fuzzer
    • <spirv-dir>/tools/fuzz

Run spirv-fuzz --help for a detailed list of options.

Control flow dumper tool

The control flow dumper prints the control flow graph for a SPIR-V module as a GraphViz 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 - 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

See the projects pages 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.
