I am trying to use a CIColorKernel or CIBlendKernel with sampler arguments but the program crashes. Here is my shader code which compiles successfully. extern "C" float4 wipeLinear(coreimage::sampler t1, coreimage::sampler t2, float time) { float2 coord1 = t1.coord(); float2 coord2 = t2.coord(); float4 innerRect = t2.extent(); float minX = innerRect.x + time*innerRect.z; float minY = innerRect.y + time*innerRect.w; float cropWidth = (1 - time) * innerRect.w; float cropHeight = (1 - time) * innerRect.z; float4 s1 = t1.sample(coord1); float4 s2 = t2.sample(coord2); if ( coord1.x > minX && coord1.x < minX + cropWidth && coord1.y > minY && coord1.y <= minY + cropHeight) { return s1; } else { return s2; } } And it crashes on initialization. class CIWipeRenderer: CIFilter { var backgroundImage:CIImage? var foregroundImage:CIImage? var inputTime: Float = 0.0 static var kernel:CIColorKernel = { () -> CIColorKernel in let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "AppCIKernels", withExtension: "ci.metallib")! let data = try! Data(contentsOf: url) return try! CIColorKernel(functionName: "wipeLinear", fromMetalLibraryData: data) //Crashes here!!!! }() override var outputImage: CIImage? { guard let backgroundImage = backgroundImage else { return nil } guard let foregroundImage = foregroundImage else { return nil } return CIWipeRenderer.kernel.apply(extent: backgroundImage.extent, arguments: [backgroundImage, foregroundImage, inputTime]) } } It crashes in the try line with the following error: Fatal error: 'try!' expression unexpectedly raised an error: Foundation._GenericObjCError.nilError If I replace the kernel code with the following, it works like a charm: extern "C" float4 wipeLinear(coreimage::sample_t s1, coreimage::sample_t s2, float time) { return mix(s1, s2, time); }
