How can I get annotation of function parameter in vertex shader?
Author
Hi, guys,
For some reason, I want to add some annotation to my vertex shader function.
The code would something like this
......
VS_OUTPUT vs_main( float4 Position : POSITION0 <string Token = "ModelPosition";>)
{
......
}
The compiling is fine. My question is how to use D3D interface to get the annotation of "Token" here.
Thanks!
Normally you look for the ::GetAnnotation*() type functions on ID3DXEffect - they're pretty straight forward.
However, in your case I wouldn't expect it to work. Only in the latest shader models and compilers do functions truly exist and prior to this they were all inlined by the compiler such that they aren't visible on any public interface - you probably can't even see them in the ASM output except in debug/non-optimized modes.
Annotations are more for global constants or technique/pass descriptions, not for function parameters.

hmm, all that said you might want to try making calls to ID3DXEffect::GetParameter() using the D3DXHANDLE for the function (found via ID3DXEffect::GetFunction()). At the very least you should be able to annotate your VS_INPUT struct if you were to refactor your parameter list to that form...

Thanks.
Like you said, if I could add some annotations to the struct, that would be better.
I tried, but compiling was failed.
