1Rusticl
2=======
3
4Rusticl is an OpenCL implementation on top of Gallium drivers.
5
6Enabling
7--------
8
9In order to use Rusticl on any platform the environment variable
10:envvar:`RUSTICL_ENABLE` has to be used. Rusticl does not advertise devices
11for any driver by default yet as doing so can impact system stability until
12remaining core issues are ironed out.
13
14Enabling drivers by default
15---------------------------
16
17Distributions and everybody building rusticl themselves can opt-in or opt-out
18certain drivers from being enabled by default. The
19``gallium-rusticl-enable-drivers`` takes a list of drivers to enable by
20default. The environment variable :envvar:`RUSTICL_ENABLE` will overwrite this
21list at runtime.
22
23Not all drivers are supported to be enabled by default, because that should
24require opt-in by the driver maintainers. Check out the meson option
25documentation to see for which drivers this option is supported.
26
27The ``auto`` option might not enable all drivers supported by this flag, but
28for distribution it's recommended to use that one unless they get an ack from
29driver maintainers to expand the list.

31Building
32--------
33
34To build Rusticl you need to satisfy the following build dependencies:
35
36-  ``rustc``
37-  ``rustfmt`` (highly recommended, but only *required* for CI builds
38   or when authoring patches)
39-  ``bindgen``
40-  `LLVM <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/>`__ built with
41   ``libclc`` and ``-DLLVM_ENABLE_DUMP=ON``.
42-  `SPIRV-Tools <https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools>`__
43-  `SPIRV-LLVM-Translator
44   <https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-LLVM-Translator>`__ for a
45   ``libLLVMSPIRVLib.so`` matching your version of LLVM, i.e. if you're
46   using LLVM 15 (``libLLVM.so.15``), then you need a
47   ``libLLVMSPIRVLib.so.15``.
48
49The minimum versions to build Rusticl are:
50
51-  Rust: 1.78
52-  Meson: 1.4.0
53-  Bindgen: 0.65.0
54-  LLVM: 15.0.0
55-  Clang: 15.0.0
56   Updating clang requires a rebuilt of mesa and rusticl if and only if the value of
57   ``CLANG_RESOURCE_DIR`` changes. It is defined through ``clang/Config/config.h``.
58-  SPIRV-Tools: any version (recommended: v2022.3)
59
60Afterwards you only need to add ``-Dgallium-rusticl=true -Dllvm=enabled
61-Drust_std=2021`` to your build options.
62
63Most of the code related to Mesa's C code lives inside ``/mesa``, with
64the occasional use of enums, structs or constants through the code base.
65
66If you need help ping ``karolherbst`` either in ``#dri-devel`` or
67``#rusticl`` on OFTC.

69Contributing
70------------
71
72The minimum configuration you need to start developing with rust
73is ``RUSTC=clippy-driver meson configure -Dgallium-rusticl=true
74-Dllvm=enabled -Drust_std=2021``. In addition you probably want to enable
75any device drivers on your platform. Some device drivers as well as some
76features are locked behind flags during runtime. See
77:ref:`Rusticl environment variables <rusticl-env-var>` for
78more info.
79
80All patches that are potentially conformance breaking and also patches
81that add new features should be ran against the appropriate conformance
82tests.
83
84Also, make sure the formatting is in order before submitting code. That
85can easily be done via ``git ls-files */{lib,main}.rs | xargs rustfmt``.
86
87When submitting Merge Requests or filing bugs related to Rusticl, make
88sure to add the ``Rusticl`` label so people subscribed to that Label get
89pinged.
90
91Known issues
92------------
93
94One issue you might come across is, that the Rust edition meson sets is
95not right. This is a known `meson bug
96<https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10664>`__ and in order to
97fix it, simply run ``meson configure $your_build_dir -Drust_std=2021``
