sk_app has existing support for Dawn on top of Vulkan, and
this adds support to build //example:hello_world_dawn and
get this to run on Linux.
Dawn depends on Tint and abseil-cpp. Tint further depends on
spirv_tools and spirv_headers (for writing to the SPIR-V format).
Dawn and Tint only have GN and CMake support, so we need to make
our Bazel rules for them (see //third_party/BUILD.bazel).
abseil-cpp and the SPIR-V libraries have Bazel support, so we
can just include them (see //WORKSPACE.bazel). It is important
that @spirv_headers be called that exactly because @spirv_tools
depends on it by that name.
The hand-crafted cc_library rules for Dawn and Tint were produced
by reading the appropriate GN files and using the parts necessary
for a supporting Vulkan+Linux. If we use Dawn for other backends
(e.g. WebGPU), we will need to expand the Bazel rules. One day,
we might contribute the Bazel rules to Dawn and Tint so they
can support them and avoid breaking us if new files are added.
Suggested Review Order
- bazel/common_config_settings/BUILD.bazel to see introduction
of new select-able option "has_gpu_backend" which cleans up
some of our code that is enabled for any GPU backend.
- src/*/BUILD.bazel to see has_gpu_backend rolled out.
- WORKSPACE.bazel to see DEPS declared there (using the files
in third_party/externals, which are brought in via
tools/git-sync-deps).
- third_party/BUILD.bazel which adds Dawn and Tint rules.
It may be helpful to look in third_party/externals for
the Dawn [1] and Tint [2] GN files. Especially interesting
are the Python scripts [3] Dawn uses to generate some
header and source files.
- All other files.
