SDL_CreateGPUComputePipeline

Creates a pipeline object to be used in a compute workflow.

Header File

SDL_GPUComputePipeline* SDL_CreateGPUComputePipeline(
    SDL_GPUDevice *device,
    const SDL_GPUComputePipelineCreateInfo *createinfo);

SDL_GPUDevice *	device	a GPU Context.
const SDL_GPUComputePipelineCreateInfo *	createinfo	a struct describing the state of the compute pipeline to create.

(SDL_GPUComputePipeline *) Returns a compute pipeline object on success, or NULL on failure.

Shader resource bindings must be authored to follow a particular order depending on the shader format.

For SPIR-V shaders, use the following resource sets:

0: Sampled textures, followed by read-only storage textures, followed by read-only storage buffers
1: Write-only storage textures, followed by write-only storage buffers
2: Uniform buffers

For DXBC Shader Model 5_0 shaders, use the following register order:

t registers: Sampled textures, followed by read-only storage textures, followed by read-only storage buffers
u registers: Write-only storage textures, followed by write-only storage buffers
b registers: Uniform buffers

For DXIL shaders, use the following register order:

(t[n], space0): Sampled textures, followed by read-only storage textures, followed by read-only storage buffers
(u[n], space1): Write-only storage textures, followed by write-only storage buffers
(b[n], space2): Uniform buffers

For MSL/metallib, use the following order:

[[buffer]]: Uniform buffers, followed by write-only storage buffers, followed by write-only storage buffers
[[texture]]: Sampled textures, followed by read-only storage textures, followed by write-only storage textures

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
