Introduction
============

The SPIR-V target provides code generation for the SPIR-V binary format described
in  `the official SPIR-V specification <https://www.khronos.org/registry/SPIR-V/>`_.

Target Triples
==============

For cross-compilation into SPIR-V use option

``-target <Architecture><Subarchitecture>-<Vendor>-<OS>-<Environment>``

to specify the target triple:

  .. table:: SPIR-V Architectures

     ============ ==============================================================
     Architecture Description
     ============ ==============================================================
     ``spirv32``   SPIR-V with 32-bit pointer width.
     ``spirv64``   SPIR-V with 64-bit pointer width.
     ============ ==============================================================

  .. table:: SPIR-V Subarchitectures

     =============== ==============================================================
     Subarchitecture Description
     =============== ==============================================================
     *<empty>*        SPIR-V version deduced by tools based on the compiled input.
     ``v1.0``         SPIR-V version 1.0.
     ``v1.1``         SPIR-V version 1.1.
     ``v1.2``         SPIR-V version 1.2.
     ``v1.3``         SPIR-V version 1.3.
     ``v1.4``         SPIR-V version 1.4.
     ``v1.5``         SPIR-V version 1.5.
     =============== ==============================================================

  .. table:: SPIR-V Vendors

     ===================== ==============================================================
     Vendor                Description
     ===================== ==============================================================
     *<empty>*/``unknown``  Generic SPIR-V target without any vendor-specific settings.
     ===================== ==============================================================

  .. table:: Operating Systems

     ===================== ============================================================
     OS                    Description
     ===================== ============================================================
     *<empty>*/``unknown``  Defaults to the OpenCL runtime.
     ===================== ============================================================

  .. table:: SPIR-V Environments

     ===================== ==============================================================
     Environment           Description
     ===================== ==============================================================
     *<empty>*/``unknown``  Defaults to the OpenCL environment.
     ===================== ==============================================================

Example:

``-target spirv64v1.0`` can be used to compile for SPIR-V version 1.0 with 64-bit pointer width.
