  • Article

This section contains information about the following Direct3D HLSL compiler functions:

In this section

Topic Description
D3D11Reflect
 Gets a pointer to a reflection interface.
D3DCompile
 Compile HLSL code or an effect file into bytecode for a given target.
D3DCompile2
 Compiles Microsoft High Level Shader Language (HLSL) code into bytecode for a given target.
D3DCompileFromFile
 Note: You can use this API to develop your Windows Store apps, but you can't use it in apps that you submit to the Windows Store. Refer to the section, "Compiling shaders for UWP", in the remarks for D3DCompile2.
Compiles HLSL code into bytecode for a given target.
D3DCompressShaders
 Note: You can use this API to develop your Windows Store apps, but you can't use it in apps that you submit to the Windows Store.
Compresses a set of shaders into a more compact form.
D3DCreateBlob
 Creates a buffer.
D3DCreateFunctionLinkingGraph
 Creates a function-linking-graph interface.
Note: This function is part of the HLSL shader linking technology that you can use on all Direct3D 11 platforms to create precompiled HLSL functions, package them into libraries, and link them into full shaders at run time.
D3DCreateLinker
 Creates a linker interface.
Note: This function is part of the HLSL shader linking technology that you can use on all Direct3D 11 platforms to create precompiled HLSL functions, package them into libraries, and link them into full shaders at run time.
D3DDecompressShaders
 Note: You can use this API to develop your Windows Store apps, but you can't use it in apps that you submit to the Windows Store.
Decompresses one or more shaders from a compressed set.
D3DDisassemble
 Disassembles compiled HLSL code.
D3DDisassemble10Effect
 Disassembles compiled HLSL code from a Direct3D10 effect.
D3DDisassemble11Trace
 Disassembles a section of compiled HLSL code that is specified by shader trace steps.
D3DDisassembleRegion
 Disassembles a specific region of compiled HLSL code.
D3DGetBlobPart
 Retrieves a specific part from a compilation result.
D3DGetDebugInfo
 Note: You can use this API to develop your Windows Store apps, but you can't use it in apps that you submit to the Windows Store.
Gets shader debug information.
D3DGetInputAndOutputSignatureBlob
 Note: D3DGetInputAndOutputSignatureBlob may be altered or unavailable for releases after Windows 8.1. Instead use D3DGetBlobPart with the D3D_BLOB_INPUT_AND_OUTPUT_SIGNATURE_BLOB value.
Gets the input and output signatures from a compilation result.
D3DGetInputSignatureBlob
 Note: D3DGetInputSignatureBlob may be altered or unavailable for releases after Windows 8.1. Instead use D3DGetBlobPart with the D3D_BLOB_INPUT_SIGNATURE_BLOB value.
Gets the input signature from a compilation result.
D3DGetOutputSignatureBlob
 Note: D3DGetOutputSignatureBlob may be altered or unavailable for releases after Windows 8.1. Instead use D3DGetBlobPart with the D3D_BLOB_OUTPUT_SIGNATURE_BLOB value.
Gets the output signature from a compilation result.
D3DGetTraceInstructionOffsets
 Retrieves the byte offsets for instructions within a section of shader code.
D3DLoadModule
 Creates a shader module interface from source data for the shader module.
Note: This function is part of the HLSL shader linking technology that you can use on all Direct3D 11 platforms to create precompiled HLSL functions, package them into libraries, and link them into full shaders at run time.
D3DPreprocess
 Preprocesses uncompiled HLSL code.
D3DReadFileToBlob
 Note: You can use this API to develop your Windows Store apps, but you can't use it in apps that you submit to the Windows Store.
Reads a file that is on disk into memory.
D3DReflect
 Gets a pointer to a reflection interface.
D3DReflectLibrary
 Creates a library-reflection interface from source data that contains an HLSL library of functions.
Note: This function is part of the HLSL shader linking technology that you can use on all Direct3D 11 platforms to create precompiled HLSL functions, package them into libraries, and link them into full shaders at run time.
D3DSetBlobPart
 Sets information in a compilation result.
D3DStripShader
 Removes unwanted blobs from a compilation result.
D3DWriteBlobToFile
 Note: You can use this API to develop your Windows Store apps, but you can't use it in apps that you submit to the Windows Store.
Writes a memory blob to a file on disk.
