Need guidance on SPIRV reflection
So I use the glslang project, which is the reference compiler for glsl, to get my SPIRV. It's not as fast, but that's not a concern for me.

What HLSL->SPIR-V compiler to use?
From what I can tell, both glslang/shaderc and Microsoft's DirectXShaderCompiler can compile HLSL to SPIR-V code. Is there a consensus on which of these is the better compiler? (wrt to accuracy, optimisations, feature completeness, etc.)

Challenges of compiling OpenGL 4.3 compute kernels on Nvidia
I actually did that too. I tried using google's shaderc to compile my existing OpenGL 4.3 codebase to SPIRV binaries and load it from a OpenGL 4.6 context. Sadly this did not fix my issue, the Nvidia compiler crashed the same way.

Examples: | > shader --webservice | | Use webservice to automatically compile all *.glsl files in this project. | > shader --webservice --watch | | Watch for file system changes and use webservice to compile *.glsl files. | > shader --webservice --dart | | Generates a .dart-file with a loading function instead of byte code. | > shader --webservice --put-in-assets | | Places compiled files into the Flutter assets directory. | > shader --local /path/to/shaderc | | Use local executable of glslc by pointing to a directory to look for it. Usage: -s, --webservice Use a hosted webservice to compile local *.glsl files. -l, --local Use a local executable of the glslc compiler. Specify the path to a location where shader_cli should scan for the glslc executable. Download: https://github.com/google/shaderc -c, --custom-webservice Uses a self-hosted webservice to compile *.glsl files. You can download the webservice at: https://github.com/felixblaschke/shaderc_webservice -w, --watch Watches for file system changes and automatically recompiles the *.glsl files. -p, --path Defines a directory path to scan for files to compiler. If unset, it will use current working directory. -a, --put-in-assets Places the compiled files into this project's assets directory. -d, --dart Generates Dart-file with embedded SPR-V byte code and a simple shader loading function. -h, --help Shows this help text.

What are your (dynamic) shader workflows when targeting multiple backends (Vulkan and Metal)?
I am working on an engine that targets Vulkan and Metal. I'm at the point now where I want to be able to dynamically update my shader at runtime to suit the type of data being sent in for drawing. I am currently using offline compilation for my GLSL (for Vulkan) and MSL (for Metal) shaders. What are your workflows for situations like this? For those using tools like SPIR-V Cross and shaderc, what has your experience been with these tools keeping up to date with the latest features in the specs?

How to install glslc
go to https://github.com/google/shaderc/blob/main/downloads.md and download the version for linux unzip the downloaded folder, assumin you unzipped it in downloads, run the following command in the terminal sudo cp /home/{user}/Downloads/install/bin/glslc /usr/local/bin, cp command copies the target file to target location, you cant drag and drop because copying to local/bin requires special permissions :)

mpv symbol look up error
This was reported as bugs already, status remain undecided. ``` shaderc``` package have been flagged out of date already as the upstream has released tag 2021.3 while it's still on 2021.2 in extra repository. Is this the cause of error?

This Week in Veloren #136: Economics, Naga
shaderc (https://github.com/google/shaderc) is one such shader compiler. It does the job well enough and lets us compile our GLSL shader code into the SPIR-V assembly that the graphics drivers need. However, it's written mostly in C++ and has a rather complicated build system. This means that people wanting to compile Veloren need to install a variety of extra things to get shaderc working with Veloren.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing glslang and shaderc you can also consider the following projects:
DirectXShaderCompiler - This repo hosts the source for the DirectX Shader Compiler which is based on LLVM/Clang.
SPIRV-Cross - SPIRV-Cross is a practical tool and library for performing reflection on SPIR-V and disassembling SPIR-V back to high level languages.
naga - Universal shader translation in Rust
SPIRV-VM - Virtual machine for executing SPIR-V
glslcc - GLSL cross-compiler tool (GLSL->HLSL, MSL, GLES2, GLES3, GLSLv3), using SPIRV-cross and glslang
meson - The Meson Build System
slang - Making it easier to work with shaders
black_hole_shader - This project provides a WebGL2 shader to render a non-rotating black hole with an accretion disc and background stars.
