# ANGLE Orientation
|
|
|
|
A basic guide to get up and running fixing bugs and performance issues in ANGLE.
|
|
|
|
## First ANGLE Compile
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
- Download and install
|
|
[Visual Studio 2017 Community](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs.aspx).
|
|
Installing takes some time.
|
|
|
|
- Take the time to register a Microsoft account, otherwise you'll get nagged to death.
|
|
|
|
- Download and install Chromium's
|
|
[depot_tools](http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra-docs/flat/depot_tools/docs/html/depot_tools_tutorial.html#_setting_up)
|
|
for building ANGLE.
|
|
|
|
- Add the `depot_tools` dir to your system path. Open start menu, type "edit environment variables",
|
|
add it to PATH.
|
|
|
|
- (recommended) Download and install [Git for Windows](http://gitforwindows.org/).
|
|
|
|
- Open Git bash, head to C:/src and follow the steps on
|
|
[the ANGLE wiki](https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle/+/master/doc/DevSetup.md#Development-setup-Getting-the-source)
|
|
to set up the ANGLE solution for the first time.
|
|
|
|
- The VS 2017 solution will be in `c:/src/angle/out/sln/ANGLE.sln`. Open and let the installation
|
|
finish. **Important**: set indent style to spaces, not tabs!
|
|
|
|
- Building should work at this point!
|
|
|
|
- Try running `angle_end2end_tests`, `angle_unittests` or a sample program.
|
|
|
|
- Useful VS extensions:
|
|
|
|
1. [Build Only Startup Project](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SenHarada.BuildOnlyStartupProject)
|
|
2. [SwitchStartupProject](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-141975.SwitchStartupProject)
|
|
3. [Smart CommandLine Arguments](https://www.visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/535f79b1-fbe0-4b0a-a346-8cdf271ea071)
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
- Download and install Chromium's
|
|
[depot_tools](http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra-docs/flat/depot_tools/docs/html/depot_tools_tutorial.html#_setting_up)
|
|
for building ANGLE.
|
|
|
|
- Ensure you add `depot_tools` to your bashrc as in the wiki link above.
|
|
|
|
- Follow the steps on
|
|
[the ANGLE wiki](https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle/+/master/doc/DevSetup.md#Development-setup-Getting-the-source)
|
|
to setup ANGLE's build.
|
|
|
|
- Building should work at this point! Follow the steps on the Wiki.
|
|
|
|
- Try running `angle_end2end_tests`, `angle_unittests` or a sample program.
|
|
|
|
## Setting up the [drawElements testing suite](http://go/dEQP)
|
|
|
|
- [Cherry](https://sites.google.com/a/google.com/deqp/cherry) is the UI for viewing test results.
|
|
ANGLE checks out a copy in `<angledir>/third_party/cherry`.
|
|
|
|
- Follow the instructions in the
|
|
[installation README](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/cherry/+/refs/heads/master/README)
|
|
to get it running. On Windows, use 64-bit.
|
|
|
|
- Read up on testing with
|
|
[dEQP on the ANGLE Wiki](https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle/+/master/doc/dEQP.md).
|
|
|
|
- Try running `angle_deqp_gles2_tests_no_gtest` with the flag
|
|
`--deqp-case=dEQP-GLES2.functional.negative_api.*` and load a test report in Cherry.
|
|
|
|
- To use Cherry, browse to [http://localhost:8080/#/results](http://localhost:8080/#/results) and
|
|
click '**Import existing batch**', loading `TestResults.qpa`. Look for the qpa file in the
|
|
current working directory, or `<angledir>/src/tests` if you ran the tests from Visual Studio.
|
|
|
|
- Note: we only use Cherry for viewing test output, not running the tests. On start, you may see
|
|
some runtime messages about unable to load case lists. These are safe to ignore. If you didn't
|
|
load the results URL directly, click the "**Results**" tab to find the Import button.
|
|
|
|
## Profiling
|
|
|
|
- You can use `scripts/perf_test_runner.py` to run any target of `./angle_perftests` (see script
|
|
source for details).
|
|
|
|
### With Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
- In Visual Studio 2017, look under Debug/Profiler/Performance Explorer/New Performance Session.
|
|
Right-click "Targets" and add `angle_perftests` as a Target Project.
|
|
|
|
- Run `angle_perftests` with the flag `--gtest_filter=DrawCallPerfBenchmark.Run/d3d11_null` for
|
|
D3D11, `.../d3d9_null` for D3D9, `.../gl_null` for OpenGL and `.../vulkan_null` for Vulkan.
|
|
|
|
- Make sure you close all open instances of Chrome, they use a lot of background CPU and GPU. In
|
|
fact, close every process and application you can.
|
|
|
|
### Profiling with Visual Studio + Chrome
|
|
|
|
- Install [Chrome Canary](https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html).
|
|
|
|
- Canary's install dir is usually `%APPDATA%/Local/Google/Chrome SxS/Application`
|
|
|
|
- Build ANGLE x64, Release, and run 'python scripts/update_canary_angle.py' to replace Canary's
|
|
ANGLE with your custom ANGLE. (Note: Canary must be closed)
|
|
|
|
- Start Canary with `--gpu-startup-dialog --disable-gpu-sandbox`, wait for the dialog.
|
|
|
|
- In Visual Studio, under Debug/Profiler, choose attach to process.
|
|
|
|
- Attach to the Chrome GPU process, then immediately pause profiling.
|
|
|
|
- **IMPORTANT:** Verify ANGLE details are correct in `about:gpu`.
|
|
|
|
- In Canary, start your benchmark, then resume profiling, and exit when done. The report will load
|
|
automatically.
