Language reference

The language a file that starts with "use typeshade" is written in. 309 names, read from the compiler's own language service at commit 26de7be8, which is the table the editor answers a hover from.

This is the reference for shader authors. The surface a host application and the fn() builder call is the compiler API reference.

Types 65 names

The scalar, vector, matrix and memory types a declaration names.

Attributes 9 names

The decorators that mark an entry point and bind a field to the pipeline.

Builtin values 16 names

The @builtin(...) ids the pipeline supplies, with the stage each belongs to.

Functions 175 names

The functions a shader calls, by family, with the text each backend writes.

Constants 8 names

The compile-time literals the compiler inlines, and discard.

Math members 36 names

The Math members a shader may reach, each routed to a builtin or a literal.

Error codes 83 codes

The code on a diagnostic, what it means and how to fix it.

Design rules 115 rules

What the language may contain and how it may change, one rule per page.

Reading an entry

An entry holds the declaration the editor loads for that name, the compiler's sentence about it, and for a builtin function the WGSL and the GLSL ES 3.00 text each backend writes. The builtin table is the scanning view over the same calls, four columns wide.

The signature and the sentence under each name are the compiler's own text at commit 26de7be8.
