The existing Visual Studio solution/projects are now replaced with the Premake-generated ones, and project contributors will be expected to update these by running premake after adding/removing files. I have *not* changed the Linux `Makefile` build at all, because that file is also used for things like running our tests, so that clobbering it with a premake-generated `Makefile` would break our continuous testing. Hopefully future changes can switch to a generated `Makefile` and perhaps even add an XCode project as well. Notes: * The `build/slang-build.props` file is no longer needed/used, so it has been removed. * The `slang-eval-test` test fixture wasn't following our naming conventions for its directory path, so it was updated to streamline the Premake build configuration work. This required changes to the `Makefile` as well * Some seemingly unncessary preprocessor definitions that were specified for `core` and `slang-glslang` have been dropped. We will see if anything breaks from that. * Possible fixup for Premake vpath issue Premake's `vpath` feature seems to be nondeterministic about the order it applies filters (because Lua isn't deterministic about the order of entries in a key/value table), and as a result we can end up in a weird case where it decides that a `foo.cpp.h` file matches the `**.cpp` filter (I'm not sure why) before it tests against the `**.h` filter. This change uses an (undocumented) Premake facility to set `vpath` using a list of singleton tables, which seems to fix the order in which things get tested. * Remove support for "single-file" build of Slang The `hello` example was the only bit of code that uses the "single-file" way of building Slang, and this had already run up against limitations of the Visual Studio compilers in its Debug|x64 build. Rather than mess with Premake to make it pass through the `/bigobj` linker flag that is needed to work around the issue, it makes more sense just to stop using/supporting the feature since we wouldn't want users to depend on it anyway (our documentation no longer refers to it). While I was at it I went ahead and made sure that the `SLANG_DYNAMIC` flag doesn't need to be set manually, so that instead there is a non-default `SLANG_STATIC` option (not that we have a static-library build of Slang at the moment). 2018-03-16T19:02:55+00:00 jsmall-nvidia jsmall@nvidia.com 2018-03-16T19:02:55+00:00 urn:sha1:04c9476622cc22daa0994c8141f686405858c8a7 2018-03-16T16:06:01+00:00 Tim Foley tfoleyNV@users.noreply.github.com 2018-03-16T16:06:01+00:00 urn:sha1:4c23ba2af6dfb244bbf193f2e540e5e70e13f629 2018-02-02T18:38:22+00:00 Tim Foley tfoleyNV@users.noreply.github.com 2018-02-02T18:38:22+00:00 urn:sha1:58475a8aa42284722a3763aa3bde49f2fa40366e - Remove references to building by embedding source (not recommended at this point) - Push users more toward binary builds rather than building from source (but include a document that talks about how to build) - Remove most (all?) references to supporting GLSL input - Expand the language guide to talk about the new features - Add a document that talks about the parameter layout algorithm 2017-07-26T21:56:45+00:00 Tim Foley tfoley@nvidia.com 2017-07-26T21:21:29+00:00 urn:sha1:92463c8f235e41a226943c629ed2d89a21935cf1 - Update readme to fill out some of the `TODO` sections - Add an API user's guide that gives the basics of linking against Slang and using it to compile and reflect shaders - Add a bit of usage info for the command-line `slangc` program - Add an overview of the Slang language as it stands today - Add an initial FAQ, mostly to help answer the "why should I use this?" question
