NAME¶

tint - compiler for the WebGPU Shader Language (WGSL)

SYNOPSIS¶

tint [options] input-file

DESCRIPTION¶

tint compiles and validates shaders written in the WebGPU Shader Language (WGSL). It can convert WGSL to SPIR-V, GLSL, or WGSL, and accepts SPIR-V as input.

By default the output format is inferred from the output filename extension. If no output file is specified, SPIR-V assembly (spvasm) is written to stdout.

OPTIONS¶

-f format, --format=format

Output format. One of: none, wgsl, ir, spirv, spvasm, glsl.

-o file, --output-name=file

Write output to file instead of stdout.

-ep name, --entry-point=name

Output only the specified entry point.

--validate

Validate the generated shader with all available validators.

--dump-ir

Dump the IR at each stage of the compilation flow.

--parse-only

Stop after parsing the input (useful for validation only).

-h , --help

Show usage information.

EXAMPLES¶

Validate a WGSL shader:

Compile WGSL to SPIR-V binary:

Compile WGSL to GLSL:
