16.2 编译HLSL 着色器

16.2.1 常量表

每个着色器有一个常量表，用来保存它的变量。D3DX库通过ID3DXConstantTable接口，提供给应用程序访问着色器的常量表。通过这个接口我们能够在应用程序中设置着色器源代码中的变量。

我们现在描述ID3DXConstantTable接口的方法列表的实现，全部的列表请查阅Direct3D文档。

16.2.1.1 取得常量句柄

为了在应用程序中设置着色器中的一个特定变量，需要有一种方法去引用它，我们能够在应用程序中用D3DXHANDLE引用一个在着色器中的变量，下面的方法返回一个着色器中的变量的D3DXHANDLE，使用时，需要传递一个变量的名字作为参数：

D3DXHANDLE ID3DXConstantTable::GetConstantByName( D3DXHANDLE hConstant, // scope of constant LPCSTR pName // name of constant );

Hconstant——我们要取得的父结构中变量句柄的D3DXHANDLE标识。例如，如果我们想获得一个特定数据结构中单一数据成员的句柄，我们可以传递结构实例的句柄。如果我们获得一个顶级变量的句柄，给这个参数设为NULL。

PName——我们想获得的句柄的着色器代码中的变量的名字。

Gets a constant by looking up its name.

D3DXHANDLE GetConstantByName(
  D3DXHANDLE hConstant,
  LPCSTR pName
);

Parameters

hConstant [in] Unique identifier to the parent data structure. If the constant is a top-level parameter (there is no parent data structure), use NULL. pName [in] Name of the constant.

Return Values

Returns a unique identifier to the constant.

例如，如果在着色器中变量的名字为ViewProjMatrix，并且这是顶级变量，我们这么写：

// 取得着色器中ViewProjMatrix变量的句柄 D3DXHANDLE h0; h0 = ConstTable->GetConstantByName(0, "ViewProjMatrix");

16.2.1.2 设置常量

一旦应用程序有了一个D3DXHANDLE，要引用着色器代码中的具体变量，我们可以在应用程序中使用ID3DXConstantTable::SetXXX方法设置变量。如果我们想设置一个向量数组类型的变量，方法名是SetVectorArray。

ID3DXConstantTable::SetXXX的一般语法是：

HRESULT ID3DXConstantTable::SetXXX( LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pDevice, D3DXHANDLE hConstant, XXX value );

PDevice：常量表所关联的设备的指针。

HConstant：我们正在设置的变量句柄的引用。

Value：我们要把变量设置成的值，XXX是我们设置的要替换的变量类型名，对于有些类型（bool, int, float），传递变量值的COPY，另外一些类型（vectors, matrices, structures），传递值的指针。



下面的列表描述了我们能用ID3DXConstantTable接口设置的类型列表。这里假定我们有一个有效的设备，和一个有效句柄。
