SPIR-V Viewer

SPIR-V Viewer is an extension that allows you to directly open a SPIR-V binary from Visual Studio Code, giving you a read-only editor and a limited set of intellisense features.

Features

First of all, of course, you could now open and inspect a SPIR-V binary as if it's a text file! On top of that, this extension also provides you with a few quality-of-life feature including syntax highlighting and hover (the intellisense feature should only work with spirv-dis output, as this extension doesn't implement a full parser).

Requirements

This extension relies on your locally installed spirv-dis to disassembly the SPIR-V module. By default, it will find the tool from your PATH. You could also explicitly specify it using spirv-viewer.spirvDisPath.

Extension Settings

Include if your extension adds any VS Code settings through the contributes.configuration extension point.

For example:

This extension contributes the following settings:

• spirv-viewer.spirvDisPath: The path to the spirv-dis executable.
• spirv-viewer.toggleNoIndent: Turn on --no-indent option for spirv-dis.
• spirv-viewer.toggleNoHeader: Turn on --no-header option for spirv-dis.
• spirv-viewer.toggleRawId: Turn on --raw-id option for spirv-dis.
• spirv-viewer.toggleComment: Turn on --comment option for spirv-dis.
