What are your (dynamic) shader workflows when targeting multiple backends (Vulkan and Metal)?

• SPIRV-Cross

  10 1,905 9.0 GLSL

  SPIRV-Cross is a practical tool and library for performing reflection on SPIR-V and disassembling SPIR-V back to high level languages.

  

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?

• shaderc

  11 1,738 7.6 C++

  A collection of tools, libraries, and tests for Vulkan shader compilation.
