Documentation

Overview

Package allbackends imports all HAL backend implementations.

Import this package for side effects to register all available backends:

import (
	_ "github.com/gogpu/wgpu/hal/allbackends"
)

This will register:

• Vulkan backend (Windows, Linux, macOS)
• Metal backend (macOS, iOS)
• DX12 backend (Windows)
• OpenGL ES backend (Windows, Linux)
• No-op backend (all platforms, for testing)

After importing, use hal.GetBackend or hal.SelectBestBackend to access backends.

Build tags control which backends are available:

• Default: All backends for the current platform
• "!android": Excludes Android-specific Vulkan loader
• "software": Includes software rasterizer backend

Example usage:

import (
	_ "github.com/gogpu/wgpu/hal/allbackends"
	"github.com/gogpu/wgpu/core"
)

func main() {
	// Instance will now enumerate real GPUs
	instance := core.NewInstance(nil)
	adapters := instance.EnumerateAdapters()
	for _, a := range adapters {
		fmt.Println(a) // Real GPU adapters
	}
}
