Inputlayout problem (dx11) after visual studio 11 preview installation

zerorepent · 2011-09-22T18:27:14

Hi I get a really weird error, and I cant figure out whats wrong tbh. I installed visual studio 11 developers preview today (I am starting to think that it might have been a mistake tbh). After I installed it I started to get this error written to my output and I honestly have no idea what to make out of it. An old projekt of mine get the same, but after a render calls it crashes. This only occur when I use the debugflag during creation of the device. My old project worked with debugflag before without crashes. This happens even if I use vs2010 now, my guess is that vs11 updated some files for vs2010 as well :/ I still get the error-output after removing everything but initialization of directx, and creation of one Vertexshader and the creation of the inputlayout. Have anyone seen this error before? To be honest I am starting to think there's a bug in some file that visual studio 11 preview updated or installed that causes this, or that I need to set more flags or settings somewhere in order to use the debugflag during device-creation. On inputlayout creation I get the following error in output, but the createinputlayout function returns S_OK D3D11: ERROR: ID3D11Device::CreateInputLayout: The provided input signature expects to read an element with SemanticName/Index: '(null)'/9714417, but the declaration doesn't provide a matching name.

Hi, I actually have the exact same error (same configuration, VS11 preview on Win7 x64). However, it seems that if you don't enable the debug layer, the problem goes away (InputLayoutCreation returns S_OK, and everything is fine: in PIX, the InputLayout is what is expected). What is even stranger, is that shader reflection still works fine, and loading offline compiled shaders seem to exhibit the same problem, so this seems to point to a corruption at the debug layer level (however, I don't have the skills in assembly to understand what's happening).

That sounds pretty strange... The only way that I know of to give the SDK headers precedence is to move their inclusion to the first place in the list of directories. That means to put it before any other standardized inclusions (in my projects it is listed as so: "$(DXSDK_DIR)Include;$(IncludePath)") I am discussing the topic with some MS guys, so I'll let you know if there is anything else to try out...

By the way, Jason, I am using your library (Hieroglyph) and it's really great. I just have some minor gripes in some places (why using a custom TArray or a custom math library?), but in general it just works fine, so thanks!
[/quote]
That's great - I appreciate your feedback. I must admit that if I started over I probably wouldn't roll my own stuff from scratch, but I started writing Hieroglyph almost 10 years ago when I was just starting out... it was a bit of a learning exercise, and I just never saw a compelling reason to remove it. Who knows though - I could eventually migrate to another standardized system down the road...

I would be really interested to see some screenshots of something you build with it - it might even be cool to add a user page on the codeplex site... Thanks again!

EDIT: one other thing I just thought of - you are still trying to use a feature level 11 device right? Specifically, you aren't passing the 11.1 feature level to the device creation method? I just wanted to double check...

Can one or both of you check if your output application is trying to load the D3D11_1sdklayers.dll? If so, this is only compatible with Win8 and could be a source of the issue...

If you are familiar with how to use it, can you use dumpbin.exe on the build of your application with the debug layer enabled and generate a list of the dll's that it is using? This might also help to solve the problem.

No, I'm pretty sure that I am still using the dxsdk headers, since if you build with the vc10 toolchain, you don't even get access to the 8.0 platform sdk headers (no d3d11_1.h header, nothing new). I'll have to investigate that further... Microsoft should just release a real dxsdk (or a dxsdk preview). I just checked my System directory, and it seems that i have a d3d11_1sdklayers.dll file, so the d3d11sdklayers.dll may have been changed (or at least, the visual studio install did modify some system dlls). Do you know where I could get hashsums for these dlls? Maybe I could try and compare to see if I still have the same dll versions. (I've just checked the file version, it seems that my d3d11sdklayers.dll and d3d11_1sdklayers.dll have the same file and product version, so it's not too far I guess).

I understand why you have rolled some of your own stuff, we all do while building things (at the beginning, I thought it was for the book). Anyway, I already changed it so it's no longer an issue (only a little bit of find&replace, was quite easy). Thanks for your help.

In the output window it says 'ValkyrieSimpleTestApp.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\d3d11sdklayers.dll'. So I assume it loads the correct one. I have never used dumpbin.exe before, but I think I managed to get it correct. I think that it's odd that it doesn't contain anything about d3d11sdklayers.dll, but that can however be because i used the wrong command (/imports).

In the output window it says 'ValkyrieSimpleTestApp.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\d3d11sdklayers.dll'. So I assume it loads the correct one.

I have the same, but it is definitely the incorrect dll. On my machine with VS11 installed, the dll has a size of 576kb and a file version of 9.30.930.8102 while on another machine (with only the DXSDK and VS10), the file has a size of 484KB and a version of 9.27.952.3001.

Edit: That's it actually, just copied the old dll into the folder of my application, and it runs without error again! I would be curious which version of d3d11 the newer version was built against.

Thanks, that fixed the issue. I copied the [color="#1C2837"]d3d11sdklayers.dll from the dxsdk runtime folder to the applicaiton folder. Seems that vs11 updated that for some random reason. (I had to rename it so use lowercase letters only though)

It appears that all of the following dll's are updated with the new VS11 developer preview:

d3d11ref.dll
d3d10ref.dll
dxcpl.exe
VSD3DRefDebug.dll
d3d11_1sdklayers.dll
d3d11sdklayers.dll
d3d10sdklayers.dll
dxgidebug.dll
d3dref9.dll
d3d9d.dll
d2d1debug.dll

Since you already have been able to switch back to the standard functionality by replacing only one dll, then it shouldn't be a big issue... Still, if strange behavior persists, try replacing all of these with their SDK equivalents and see if it resolves the issue.
