HLSL compiler crashed!
Hi,
I'm an experienced programmer but a newb when it comes to shaders. This is the 2nd shader I've written and right from the beginning I ran into a compiler crash. I'd like someone who knows more about shaders to look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
What happens is, when I run my app, it get to call to D3DXCreateEffect and I get "Unhandled exception at 0x0118f8ef in RealFlightDeb.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000060."
Here is the call stack:
RealFlightDeb.exe!D3DXShader::CPSLegacyProgram::AddPhaseLinkage() + 0x1e6 C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!D3DXShader::CPSLegacyProgram::PatternMatch() + 0x769 C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!D3DXShader::CShaderProgram::GenerateCode() + 0x529 C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!D3DXShader::CPSLegacyProgram::GenerateCode() + 0x55 C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!D3DXShader::CCompiler::CompileInternal() + 0x421 C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!D3DXShader::CCompiler::CompileFunction() + 0x36 C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!D3DXShader::CCompiler::CompileExpression() + 0x13a C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!D3DXEffects::Compiler::CEffectCompiler::CompileEffect() + 0x1e9 C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!_D3DXCreateEffect@36() + 0xd4 C++
RealFlightDeb.exe!DXEffect::CreateEffectLow() Line 833 + 0x38 C++
The good news is, I've narrowed it down to the exact HLSL line that's causing the crash. This function is called from my pixel shader.
float4 Light_PointDiffuse(float4 LightDir, float3 Normal, float4 LightColor)
{
float AngleAttn = clamp(0, 1, dot(Normal, LightDir.xyz) );
return LightColor * LightDir.w * AngleAttn; // <<< THIS LINE
}
I can change the line to read
return LightColor * LightDir.w;
and the app runs fine.
I need to be able to get the AngleAttn factor in there!
btw I'm using vs_1_1, ps_1_4 if that helps.

Which version of the DirectX SDK are you using?
Have you tried using fxc.exe to compile the shader outside of your program?
The shader profiles shouldn't make any difference as the compiler (if it functioned properly) would spit out well formed compile-time errors.
I'm not sure about the last couple of releases, but there have been plenty of HLSL compiler fixes as part of the bimonthly release schedule. It's rare to find this sort of error, but it's not unheard of [smile]

edit: here's another clue:
I edited a line before the faulty line above and once again got the compiler to not crash.
Old line:
Output.RGBColor = tex2D(BaseTextureSampler, inVert.TextureUV);
New line:
Output.RGBColor = float4(0,0,0,0);
But of course I need to sample that texture sooo, that's not going to work.
I have the Dec '05 DirectX SDK
fxc worked fine. Here is the output from fxc:

So, it compiles fine outside of your application (via fxc) but crashes when compiled inside. Correct?
Given your sampler line appears to be causing problems - what is the definition for your sampler?
What is the line of code (also the values of parameters) used to compile the shader?
Cheers,
Jack

Yes, it compiles fine outside of the program, but crashes on D3DXCreateEffect inside the program.
The sampler is,
sampler BaseTextureSampler =
sampler_state
{
Texture = <sgv_baseTexture>;
MipFilter = LINEAR;
MinFilter = LINEAR;
MagFilter = LINEAR;
AddressU=Clamp;
AddressV=Clamp;
};
As I wrote in my first post, I can also fix the compiler error by reducing another needed line.
Here is the call to D3DXCreateEffect:
class DXEffectIncludeManager : public ID3DXInclude
{
public:
DXEffectIncludeManager( void ) { }
STDMETHOD(Open) ( D3DXINCLUDE_TYPE , LPCSTR , LPCVOID , LPCVOID *, UINT *);
STDMETHOD(Close)( LPCVOID pData );
};
DXEffectIncludeManager includeManager;
LPD3DXBUFFER pCompileErrorBuffer = NULL;
HRESULT hr;
hr = D3DXCreateEffect( gpDXDevice->m_pDeviceLow, pShaderFile-GetRawMemory(), pShaderFile->GetFileSize(), NULL, &includeManager, 0, NULL, &m_pEffectLow, &pCompileErrorBuffer );
At this point, my only solution is to use 2.0, but I don't think I'll be able to do that in the end due to compatibility issues. Does anyone know of a good workaround?
