ARB_gl_spirv support incomplete?

I've been having a hell of a time trying to get GLSL shaders to run as SPIRV modules using ARB_gl_spirv.

I've posted at length about it here but to summarise..

1. The drivers fail to report GL_SHADER_BINARY_FORMAT_SPIR_V when querying GL_SHADER_BINARY_FORMATS 

2. Even when I know my shader is invalid, they seems to pass all validation checks, no errors or warnings are reported by getProgramInfoLog() or getShaderInfoLog()

3. Even the simplest of shaders will render only a black screen.  Those shaders run just fine when loaded/compiled at runtime as GLSL instead of SPIRV.

4. Linux drivers will segfault somewhere in the middle of glLinkProgram() unless I slowwwwwly step through the code. Seems like a race condition when consecutively loading shaders.

5. It seems necessary to avoid calling glDetachShader() or the drivers will seemingly crash in all kinds of places.

Please know that I am:

- Specifying explicit attribute in/out locations

- Making use of uniform blocks instead of regular uniform variables

RenderDoc is able to see VS Input, but shows nothing on VS output

Incidentally, it's perhaps important to note that these very same SPIRV shaders run absolutely fine on AMD Linux drivers.  They also render just fine on Intel drivers (both WIndows and Linux).

I'm using driver revision 20.7.2 (11/07/2020) with an RX 580

Is SPIRV support on OpenGL simply not as well supported as I had expected? Or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?

It seems others have similar issue - here and here

Any advice much appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I know this belongs in the Developer community, it seems I need to be whitelisted before I can post there.

Hi Tim,

I've whitelisted you and moved your post to the OpenGL forum.

Thanks.

Thanks dipak. Is posting here the best way to get this onto the radar of AMD driver developers?

Adding dorisyan‌ who might be able to help you in this regard.

Thanks.

dorisyan‌ is this likely to be pursued at all? I'm happy to assist where I can, but I don't really know how to progress this any further.

I've not looked at this issue since I last posted... but someone has reached out to me privately indicating that they are running up against the same issues.

Has anyone from AMD managed to look into this at all?

@dorisyan would you have any info or advice about how to proceed?

 

Thanks
