dxcapi.h header

This header is used by Reference for HLSL. For more info, see:

• Reference for HLSL

dxcapi.h contains the following programming interfaces:

Functions

DxcCreateInstance Creates a single uninitialized object of the class associated with a specified CLSID.
DxcCreateInstance2 Creates a single uninitialized object of the class associated with a specified CLSID (can be used to create an instance of the compiler with a custom memory allocator).

Callback functions

DxcCreateInstance2Proc The DxcCreateInstance2Proc typedef is provided to make it more convenient for you to use GetProcAddress to call DxcCreateInstance2.
DxcCreateInstanceProc The DxcCreateInstanceProc typedef is provided to make it more convenient for you to use GetProcAddress to call DxcCreateInstance.

Structures

DxcArgPair TBD
DxcDefine Structure for supplying defines to Dxc APIs.
DxcShaderHash Hash digest type for ShaderHash.
DxcText Structure for supplying bytes or text input to Dxc APIs.
IDxcAssembler Interface representing the DxcAssembler.
IDxcBlob A sized buffer that can be passed into and out of DXC APIs. IDxcBlob is an alias of ID3D10Blob and ID3DBlob.
IDxcBlobEncoding A blob that might have a known encoding.
IDxcBlobUtf8 TBD
IDxcCompiler IDxcCompiler is deprecated; use IDxcCompiler3 instead.
IDxcCompiler2 IDxcCompiler2 is deprecated; use IDxcCompiler3 instead.
IDxcCompiler3 Interface that represents the DirectX Shader Compiler.
IDxcCompilerArgs An interface for managing arguments passed to DXC.
IDxcContainerBuilder Interface representing the DXC container builder.
IDxcContainerReflection Interface representing DxcContainerReflection.
IDxcExtraOutputs Represents additional outputs from a DXC operation.
IDxcIncludeHandler Interface for handling include directives. To customize the handling of include directives, you can provide an implementation of this interface.
IDxcLibrary IDxcUtils replaces IDxcLibrary; use IDxcUtils insted.
IDxcLinker The DXC linker interface.
IDxcOperationResult The results of a DXC operation. IDxcResult replaces IDxcOperationResult, and should be used wherever possible.
IDxcOptimizer Interface representing DxcOptimizer.
IDxcOptimizerPass Interface representing an optimizer pass.
IDxcPdbUtils Represents PDB version information.
IDxcResult Represents the result of a DXC operation. A DXC operation might have multiple outputs, such as a shader object and errors. This interface provides access to the outputs.
IDxcUtils Various utility functions for DXC.
IDxcValidator Interface representing the DXC shader validator.
IDxcValidator2 Interface representing the DXC shader validator.
IDxcVersionInfo Represents PDB version information.
IDxcVersionInfo2 Represents PDB version information.
IDxcVersionInfo3 Represents PDB version information.

Enumerations

DXC_OUT_KIND Specifies the kind of output to retrieve from an IDxcResult.
