Yes, this is the best time I believe. Some time ago there was
agreement to implement the shader compiler in d3dcompiler, with the
d3dx9/d3d10/d3dx10 compiler function calls forwarding to d3dcompiler.
My plan for the immediate future is to stub out d3dcompiler_43.dll and
then move the shader assembler there (forwarding D3DXAssembleShader to
d3dcompiler's D3DAssemble, which is undocumented but "stable" in the
last 3 DirectX SDK) to be able to reuse some assembler code for the
compiler implementation. I have some patches in my local git, they
just need a bit of cleanup. Should I proceed with my plan?
