  "github_readme_excerpt": "# SPIR-V Headers\n\nThis repository contains machine-readable files for the\n[SPIR-V Registry](https://www.khronos.org/registry/spir-v/).\nThis includes:\n\n* Header files for various languages.\n* JSON files describing the grammar for the SPIR-V core instruction set\n  and the extended instruction sets.\n* The XML registry file.\n* A tool to build the headers from the JSON grammar.\n\nHeaders are provided in the [include](include) directory, with up-to-date\nheaders in the `unified1` subdirectory. Older headers are provided according to\ntheir version.\n\nIn contrast, the XML registry file has a linear history, so it is\nnot tied to SPIR-V specification versions.\n\n## How is this repository updated?\n\nWhen a new version or revision of the SPIR-V specification is published,\nthe SPIR-V Working Group will push new commits onto master, updating\nthe files under [include](include).\n\n[The SPIR-V XML registry file](include/spirv/spir-v.xml)\nis updated by Khronos whenever a new enum range is allocated.\n\nPull requests can be made to\n- request allocation of new enum ranges in the XML registry file\n- register a new magic number for a SPIR-V generator\n- reserve specific tokens in the JSON grammar\n\n### Registering a SPIR-V Generator Magic Number\n\nTools that generate SPIR-V should use a magic number in the SPIR-V to help identify the\ngenerator.\n\nCare should be taken to follow existing precedent in populating the details of reserved tokens.\nThis includes:\n- keeping generator numbers in numeric order\n- filling out all the existing fields\n\n### Reserving tokens in the JSON grammar\n\nCare should be taken to follow existing precedent in populating the details of reserved tokens.\nThis includes:\n- pointing to what extension has more information, when possible\n- keeping enumerants in numeric order\n- when there are aliases, listing the preferred spelling first\n- adding the statement `\"version\" : \"None\"`\n\n## How to install the headers\n\n```\nmkdir build\ncd build\ncmake ..\ncmake --build . --target install\n```\n\nThe",
