Detailed Description

A chained structure enumerating the descriptors declared by a shader.

This structure extends vkd3d_shader_compile_info.

When scanning a legacy Direct3D shader, vkd3d-shader enumerates descriptors as follows:

• Each constant register set used by the shader is scanned as a single constant buffer descriptor. There may therefore be up to three such descriptors, one for each register set used by the shader: float, integer, and boolean. The fields are set as follows:
  • The vkd3d_shader_descriptor_info::type field is set to VKD3D_SHADER_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_CBV.
  • The vkd3d_shader_descriptor_info::register_space field is set to zero.
  • The vkd3d_shader_descriptor_info::register_index field is set to a member of enum vkd3d_shader_d3dbc_constant_register denoting which set is used.
  • The vkd3d_shader_descriptor_info::count field is set to one.
• Each sampler used by the shader is scanned as two separate descriptors, one representing the texture, and one representing the sampler state. If desired, these may be mapped back into a single combined sampler using struct vkd3d_shader_combined_resource_sampler. The fields are set as follows:
  • The vkd3d_shader_descriptor_info::type field is set to VKD3D_SHADER_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SRV and VKD3D_SHADER_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLER respectively.
  • The vkd3d_shader_descriptor_info::register_space field is set to zero.
  • The vkd3d_shader_descriptor_info::register_index field is set to the binding index of the original sampler, for both descriptors.
  • The vkd3d_shader_descriptor_info::count field is set to one.
