I'm setting it in Shader Analyzer, in the compilation settings, in "Additional Custom Arguments". And I'm getting this error:

*************** Build Began for 1 Devices***************

X.hlsl(57,10-20): error X1507: failed to open source file: 'Y.hlsl'

And Y.hlsl is inside of the path specified in the commandline ("-I <path>).

Thanks!

I've been off hobnobbing with this engineering team. Here's what we have.

We're treating this like a bug for now. At the very least, the -I command does not work as expected, or as the documentation describes.

The work around for this is to explicitly include the file in your code. Modify the Shader code’s “#include” line to point to the local include file.

// add or modify this

#include “C:\temp\MyIncludes.h”

Using your file(s) obviously. Or use a relative path.

Thanks for the reply.

Solving this would be a huge productivity boost.

Specially when you work with version control software that make files read-only, using the suggested workaround means to check out multiple files (in my case I've many nested files that needs to have the includes replaced), and the chances of messing/breaking something. Having the ability to just open your pixel shader file and have it compiled would be a huge time saver. I could for example work in visual studio compiling for the visuals, then check the performance implications both with timers (in the application) and assembly (in GPU PerfStudio); this all without having to constantly copy/paste code into the GPU PerfStudio.

Thanks again for such a great tool.

Update: The team tells me the bug is fixed, and fix is checked in. They're synching up a couple of others and expect we may see an updated version soon. I never predict dates.

The current version is 3.2.16, released April 1. In a week or two, perhaps, go visit http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/graphics-development/gpu-perfstudio/

See if there's an updated release. If so, it should resolve this problem.

Thanks for the report. I wish things were always this easy.

This is awesome, thanks
