ModuleVarDecl

Syntax

interface ModuleVarDecl {
  readonly name: string;
  readonly space: 'workgroup' | 'private';
  readonly type: ShaderType;
  readonly init?: Expr;
}

Description

workgroup is WGSL’s var<workgroup>, memory one workgroup’s invocations share, zero at the start of each workgroup and never initialised. private is WGSL’s var<private>, a value each invocation owns for its lifetime, init or zero at its start. Neither has a group, a binding or a byte layout, so reflect reports nothing for one; a host never binds it.

Instance properties

nameread only string

spaceread only 'workgroup' | 'private'

typeread only ShaderType

initoptionalread only Expr

The initial value, a constant expression over literals and module consts. Only a private variable carries one; WGSL forbids an initializer on workgroup memory.
