Help needed debugging fx file

Started by
10 comments, last by Saad Manzur 10 years, 1 month ago

Hi,

I am trying to debug a shader file in visual studio 2013 ultimate . However when I try to debug the shader from the graphics diagnostic's pipeline stage I get this following message

This graphics diagnostics engine failed to build shader trace and therefore it is unable to debug shader.

My hlsl compiler's command line is : fxc /Zi /Od /Fo"Skin.fxo" /fx"_5_0" /nologo

When you created the device did you do so with the Debug flag?


	UINT createDeviceFlags = 0;
#if defined(DEBUG) || defined(_DEBUG)  
    createDeviceFlags |= D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG;
#endif

	D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL featureLevel;
	HRESULT hr = D3D11CreateDevice(
			0,                 // default adapter
			md3dDriverType,
			0,                 // no software device
			createDeviceFlags, 
			0, 0,              // default feature level array
			D3D11_SDK_VERSION,
			&md3dDevice,
			&featureLevel,
			&md3dImmediateContext);

You mean this right ?

That might not be sufficient, as you can also pass a debug flag during the creation of the shader. An example:

The function D3DXCompileShader(...) has an argument where flags are passed, in this case, you could pass D3DXSHADER_DEBUG.

D3DXCompileShader:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb172731(v=vs.85).aspx

D3DXFlags:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb205441(v=vs.85).aspx

Though you might not be using D3DX, in that case:

D3DCompile:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd607324(v=vs.85).aspx

Flags:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/gg615083(v=vs.85).aspx

Would be: D3DCOMPILE_DEBUG

EDIT: I realise that you might not even be using these functions, as I'm not familiar with the effects lib. wacko.png

First: I'm not experienced with offline compiling. I found this article which mentions "shader tracing" and may provide you with clues. For one thing, it implies that "shader tracing" is a feature requiring specific support under some operating systems - e.g., Windows 7.

Please don't PM me with questions. Post them in the forums for everyone's benefit, and I can embarrass myself publicly.

You don't forget how to play when you grow old; you grow old when you forget how to play.

I am using windows 8 . And switched to windows 8.1 sdk's fxc.exe but no luck . This message keeps popping .

My question now is can it really debug fx files ? or just hlsl files. Is there any other way to debug my fx code ?

And I am using hlsl compiler not D3DCompiler to compile my shaders

I have never used the offline compiler either so am unsure. Once more thing to check is that you executable is added to the list of applications to use the Debug runtime in the DirectX Control Panel. No other ideas though.

From the error message, it sounds to me like an issue in the graphics debugger rather than a problem with the shader itself.

It's possible that modifying the shader might make the debugger happy. If not try debugging the old manual way - output the values you care about to the screen so you can inspect them that way.

You could also try posting the shader here with an explanation of what's going wrong.

How do I do that ? And is it necessary when I debug with visual studio 2013 ?

The shader may be ok. But may be I am setting up the variables in the shader in a wrong way I guess. Here is the shader code.

I modified the original skin.fx from Frank D Luna . I tried to set the variables this way.

The function declarations :


void SetWorldViewProj(CXMMATRIX M) { WorldViewProj->SetMatrix(reinterpret_cast<const float*>(&M)); }
	void SetWorld(CXMMATRIX M) { World->SetMatrix(reinterpret_cast<const float*>(&M)); }
	void SetWorldInvTranspose(CXMMATRIX M) { WorldInvTranspose->SetMatrix(reinterpret_cast<const float *> (&M)); }
	void SetBoneTransforms(const XMFLOAT4X4 *M, int cnt) { BoneTransforms->SetMatrixArray(reinterpret_cast<const float*>(M), 0, sizeof(M)*cnt); }
	void SetTexTransform(CXMMATRIX M) { TexTransform->SetMatrix(reinterpret_cast<const float *> (&M)); }
	void SetEyePosW(const XMFLOAT3 &v) { EyePosW->SetRawValue(&v,0,sizeof(XMFLOAT3)); }
	void SetFogColor(const FXMVECTOR v) { FogColor->SetFloatVector(reinterpret_cast<const float *>(&v)); }
	void SetFogStart(float f) { FogStart->SetFloat(f); }
	void SetFogRange(float f) { FogRange->SetFloat(f); }
	void SetDirLights(const DirectionalLight* lights)   { DirLights->SetRawValue(lights, 0, 3 * sizeof(DirectionalLight)); }
	void SetMaterial(const Material& mat)               { Mat->SetRawValue(&mat, 0, sizeof(Material)); }
	void SetDiffuseMap(ID3D11ShaderResourceView *tex) { DiffuseMap->SetResource(tex); }

And using the functions:


	mModel.meshGeo.d3dContext->IASetInputLayout(InputLayouts::PosNormalTexSkin);

	Effects::SkinFX->SetWorld(World);
	Effects::SkinFX->SetWorldInvTranspose(worldInvTranspose);
	Effects::SkinFX->SetWorldViewProj(worldViewProj);
	Effects::SkinFX->SetTexTransform(XMMatrixIdentity());
	Effects::SkinFX->SetDirLights(&dirLight[0]);
	
	Effects::SkinFX->SetBoneTransforms(mBones.mBoneTransforms, 96);

I declared nBoneTransforms as a pointer 


mBoneTransforms = new XMFLOAT4X4[96];

Initially I am setting this to an identity matrices array.




How do I do that ? And is it necessary when I debug with visual studio 2013 ?

Debug->Graphics->Directx Control Panel

There should be an edit list button where you add your executable. Pretty sure you need to do that to debug a directx program.

Hope you get it sorted
