Support precision emulation on HLSL Add precision emulation support to HLSL 4.1 output. This makes it possible for developers to test their shaders for precision issues easily on Chrome on Windows without having to use the GL backend. The patch has been verified with Chrome on Windows to reproduce some precision bugs in real-world WebGL content, including old versions of the babylon.js library. The EmulatePrecision AST transformation still relies on writing out raw shader code for the rounding functions, with raw HLSL code added alongside pre-existing GLSL and ESSL code. In some ways it would be nicer to do the EmulatePrecision step as a pure AST transformation, but on the other hand the raw code is much more readable and easier to optimize. To better support multiple output languages in EmulatePrecision, add a RoundingHelperWriter class that has different subclasses for writing the rounding functions in different languages. The unit tests are expanded to cover the HLSL output of precision emulation. The parts of the tests that require the HLSL output are only active on Windows where ANGLE_ENABLE_HLSL define is added to the unit tests. Putting the HLSL tests in an entirely separate file is a worse alternative, since it would require either a lot of code duplication or add a lot of boilerplate to the individual tests.

The goal of ANGLE is to allow users of multiple operating systems to seamlessly run WebGL and other OpenGL ES content by translating OpenGL ES API calls to one of the hardware-supported APIs available for that platform. ANGLE currently provides translation from OpenGL ES 2.0 to desktop OpenGL, Direct3D 9, and Direct3D 11. Support for translation from OpenGL ES 3.0 to all of these APIs is nearing completion, and future plans include enabling validated ES-to-ES support.

ANGLE v1.0.772 was certified compliant by passing the ES 2.0.3 conformance tests in October 2011. ANGLE also provides an implementation of the EGL 1.4 specification.
ANGLE is used as the default WebGL backend for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on Windows platforms. Chrome uses ANGLE for all graphics rendering on Windows, including the accelerated Canvas2D implementation and the Native Client sandbox environment.
Portions of the ANGLE shader compiler are used as a shader validator and translator by WebGL implementations across multiple platforms. It is used on Mac OS X, Linux, and in mobile variants of the browsers. Having one shader validator helps to ensure that a consistent set of GLSL ES shaders are accepted across browsers and platforms. The shader translator can be used to translate shaders to other shading languages, and to optionally apply shader modifications to work around bugs or quirks in the native graphics drivers. The translator targets Desktop GLSL, Direct3D HLSL, and even ESSL for native GLES2 platforms.
