Shader Inspector

This extension allows you to quickly compile shaders with DXC/FXC and check generated DXIL/DXBC.

Usage

1. Open a HLSL file.
2. Run "Shader Inspector: Compile Shader Interactively" command (keybind Alt+I).
3. Enter compilation parameters.
4. (optional) When promted, agree to save the shader declaration to the shader file. This will allow you to skip manually entering all parameters later.
5. Observe compiled a DXIL/DXBC listing, or a compile error.
6. (optional) Edit your shader and run "Shader Inspector: Repeat Last Compilation" command (keybind Shift+Alt+O) to skip manually entering all parameters and recompile.
7. (optional) Repeat steps 1-5 for any additional shaders you may have in your file to save additional shader declarations for later use.

When you'll have shader declarations saved, just run "Shader Inspector: Compile Shader" command (keybind Alt+O).

Requirements

You must have Windows SDK or Vulkan SDK installed, or manually set compiler path in extension settings.
