GLSLD is a language server for GLSL. It aims to implement a frontend of a language that's comptible with most GLSL source code and, based on it, a language server that provides IDE features for the GLSL language.
This project includes the following components:
- glsld-core: A core library that provides glsl parser and other utilities.
- glsld-lexgen: A lexer genenerator for the glsl language.
- glsld-wrapper: A standalone wrapper executable that is built around the glsld-core.
- glsld-server: A language server library that implement language server protocol on top of glsld-core.
- glsld: The language server executable built on top of the glsld-server.
- glsld-test: The unit test executable built on top of the glsld-server.
Currently, language features below are (partially) implemented:
- Go to Definition
- Hover
- References
- Document Symbols
- Semantic Tokens
- Inlay Hint
- Completion Proposals
- Signature Help
The following features are planned:
- Rename
- Prepare Rename
Before we start, make sure you have the following dependencies installed:
- A C++23 compiler.
- CLANG 19 or later
- CMake
- 3.30 or later
- Ninja
GLSLD uses vcpkg to manage its dependencies. It is recommended that you use the vcpkg from git submodule of this repository.
First, let's pull the repository and fetch the submodules:
git clone https://github.com/daiyousei-qz/glsld
cd glsld
git submodule update --init
Now that the repository and vcpkg are ready, you can build the project with the following command:
cmake --preset Debug
cmake --build build --parallel
Notably, we are using CMake presets to simplify the build process. The example above uses the Debug preset, which is configured to build the project in debug mode. You can also find other presets in the CMakePresets.json file.
