\section1 Introduction
The Qt Shader Tools module builds on the SPIR-V Open Source Ecosystem as
described at \l{https://www.khronos.org/spir/}{the Khronos SPIR-V web
site}. For compiling into SPIR-V
\l{https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang}{glslang} is used, while
translating and reflecting is done via
\l{https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Cross}{SPIRV-Cross}.
In order to allow shader code to be written once in Qt applications and
libraries, all shaders are expected to be written in a single language
which is then compiled into SPIR-V. Versions for various shading language
are then generated from that, together with reflection information (inputs,
outputs, shader resources). This is then packed into easily and efficiently
serializable QRhiShader instances. The Qt Rendering Hardware Interface
consumes QRhiShader instances directly.
The two main components are:
\list
\li QShaderBaker and the \c qsb command-line tool, and
\li QRhiShader (part of the Qt Rhi module)
