Shaderc is a collection of tools and libraries for compiling shaders—small programs that run on GPUs—into SPIR-V, the intermediate representation used by the Vulkan graphics API. It provides both a command-line tool (glslc) and a C/C++ library (libshaderc) that wrap the functionality of glslang (the Khronos reference compiler for GLSL) and SPIRV-Tools to deliver a modern, scriptable, and efficient shader compilation workflow. The glslc compiler offers a GCC/Clang-like interface for building GLSL and HLSL shaders, making it easy to integrate into existing build systems. Meanwhile, libshaderc exposes a stable API that allows developers to programmatically compile shader strings into SPIR-V modules within graphics engines and tools. ...

...The library emphasizes efficiency, with locks and condition variables occupying minimal memory and supporting cancellation mechanisms through nsync_note objects rather than thread-level cancellation. Designed with portability and performance in mind, nsync can be compiled on Unix-like systems and Windows using a C90 compiler.
