## Detailed Description

A default constructed QShaderKey has source set to SpirvShader and sourceVersion set to 100. sourceVariant defaults to StandardShader.

Note: This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see QShader for details.

## Member Function Documentation

### `[constexpr noexcept]` QShaderKey::QShaderKey()

### QShaderKey::QShaderKey(QShader::Source s, const QShaderVersion &sver, QShader::Variant svar = QShader::StandardShader)

Constructs a new QShaderKey with shader type s, version sver, and variant svar.

### void QShaderKey::setSource(QShader::Source s)

Sets the shader type s.

See also source().

### void QShaderKey::setSourceVariant(QShader::Variant svar)

Sets the type of variant to use to svar.

See also sourceVariant().

### void QShaderKey::setSourceVersion(const QShaderVersion &sver)

Sets the shading language version sver.

See also sourceVersion().

### QShader::Source QShaderKey::source() const

Returns the shader type.

See also setSource().

### QShader::Variant QShaderKey::sourceVariant() const

Returns the type of the variant to use.

See also setSourceVariant().

### QShaderVersion QShaderKey::sourceVersion() const

Returns the shading language version.

See also setSourceVersion().

## Related Non-Members

### `[noexcept]` size_t qHash(const QShaderKey &key, size_t seed = 0)

Returns the hash value for key, using seed to seed the calculation.

### `[noexcept]` bool operator!=(const QShaderKey &lhs, const QShaderKey &rhs)

Returns `false` if the values in the two QShaderKey objects lhs and rhs are equal; otherwise returns `true`.

### `[noexcept]` bool operator<(const QShaderKey &lhs, const QShaderKey &rhs)

Returns true if lhs is smaller than rhs.

Establishes a sorting order between the two keys lhs and rhs.

### `[noexcept]` bool operator==(const QShaderKey &lhs, const QShaderKey &rhs)

Returns `true` if the two QShaderKey objects lhs and rhs are equal.
