Shader Development tools: syntax checking is useless

xun gong
Note: This was originally posted on 25th January 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Environment:

OS: Windows XP SP3 Build-2600
GPU: GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Shader Development tools: 1.3.0.8592_Beta
Mali Offline Shader Compiler:  v4.0.0
Emulator: OpenGL_ES_Emulator_1.3.0.7490_Win32.msi
Eclipse: 3.7.0



Problem:

Enable Offline Shader Compile, but the syntax checking is useless.

First, i run the malisc.exe, an error occur which reported that: " lack msvcr100.dll", then i download the dll and copy to system32-dir. After that,  i run malisc.exe in cmd successfully, but the syntax checking is also useless.

Then i checked the path of malisc.exe, i tried something below to make sure the plugin(Shader Development tools) do execute the  malisc.exe:
1, Edit malisc.exe, break it;
2, Write some shader in eclipse, the save, and then an error window jump out to show some message like "bad exe format".
3, So, i think the path is correct.

With the same error-shader-file, i use malisc.exe to compile it in cmd, it report the syntax  error, but nothing happened in eclipse.

Could i enable debug mode or get a debug-version to check and supply the log?

    I have resolved this by using the old version "off line compiler"(v3.0).

    In Mali Offline Shader Compiler V 3.0, the user can ingore the option "--core=core". But in V 4.0, the use must specify this option, or an error will occur.

    "Mali_GPU_Shader_Development_Studio_1.3.0.8592_Beta" will excute a scipt to run the Offline Shader Compiler to get the error/waring info, then show them in eclipse.

    The compilation  command which used by Mali_GPU_Shader_Development_Studio doesn't specify the "--core" option, so it work fine with  "Mali Offline Shader Compiler V 3.0", but failed with "Mali Offline Shader Compiler V 4.0".
