Fetch Shader details
====================

In this example we will fetch the disassembly for a shader and a set of constant values.

When disassembling a shader there may be more than one possible representation available, so we first enumerate the formats that are available using :py:meth:`~renderdoc.ReplayController.GetDisassemblyTargets` before selecting a target to disassemble to. The first target is always a reasonable default, and there will be at least one:

.. highlight:: python
.. code:: python

    print("Available disassembly formats:")

    targets = controller.GetDisassemblyTargets()

    for disasm in targets:
        print("  - " + disasm)

    target = targets[0]

Next we fetch any ancillary data that might be needed to disassemble - this varies by API depending on whether it supports multiple entry points per shader, or has a concept of pipeline state objects that are used together with a shader to disassemble.

For the purposes of this example we use the API abstraction :py:class:`~renderdoc.PipeState` so that this code works on a capture from any API, so we fetch the state bindings that we need. Finally we fetch the disassembled shader string with :py:meth:`~renderdoc.ReplayController.DisassembleShader` and print it:

.. highlight:: python
.. code:: python

	state = controller.GetPipelineState()

	# For some APIs, it might be relevant to set the PSO id or entry point name
	pipe = state.GetGraphicsPipelineObject()
	entry = state.GetShaderEntryPoint(rd.ShaderStage.Pixel)

	# Get the pixel shader's reflection object
	ps = state.GetShaderReflection(rd.ShaderStage.Pixel)

	cb = state.GetConstantBuffer(rd.ShaderStage.Pixel, 0, 0)

    print("Pixel shader:")
    print(controller.DisassembleShader(pipe, ps.reflection, target))

Now we want to display the constants bound to this shader. Shader bindings is an area that diverges quite a lot between the APIs, and RenderDoc's abstraction over this is detailed in :py:class:`~renderdoc.BindPointMap`. For now, we'll simply select the first constant buffer in this shader and fetch the constants for it with :py:meth:`~renderdoc.ReplayController.GetCBufferVariableContents`.

.. highlight:: python
.. code:: python

    cbufferVars = controller.GetCBufferVariableContents(pipe, ps.resourceId, entry, 0, cb.resourceId, 0)

Since constants can contain structs of other constants, we want to define a recursive function that will iterate over a constant and print it along with its value. We want to handle both vectors and matrices so we need to iterate over both rows and columns for each variable.

.. highlight:: python
.. code:: python

    def printVar(v, indent = ''):
        print(indent + v.name + ":")

        if len(v.members) == 0:
            valstr = ""
            for r in range(0, v.rows):
                valstr += indent + '  '

                for c in range(0, v.columns):
                    valstr += '%.3f ' % v.value.fv[r*v.columns + c]

                if r < v.rows-1:
                    valstr += "\n"

            print(valstr)

        for v in v.members:
            printVar(v, indent + '    ')

Finally, we iterate over the constants that we fetched earlier calling the function for each.

.. highlight:: python
.. code:: python

    for v in cbufferVars:
        printVar(v)
