MSL 2.3 has everything needed to support this extension on all
platforms. The existing `discard_fragment()` function was given demote
semantics, similar to Direct3D, and the `simd_is_helper_thread()`
function was finally added to iOS.
I've left the old test alone. Should I remove it in favor of these?
These need to use arrayed texture types, or Metal will complain when
binding the resource. The target layer is addressed relative to the
Layer output by the vertex pipeline, or to the ViewIndex if in a
multiview pipeline. Unlike with the s/t coordinates, Vulkan does not
forbid non-zero layer coordinates here, though this cannot be expressed
in Vulkan GLSL.
Supporting 3D textures will require additional work. Part of the problem
is that Metal does not allow texture views to subset a 3D texture, so we
need some way to pass the base depth to the shader.
Some older iOS devices don't support layered rendering. In that case,
don't set `[[render_target_array_index]]`, because the compiler will
reject the shader in that case. The client will then have to unroll the
render pass manually.
Account for a non-zero base instance when calculating the view index and
the "real" instance index. Before, it was likely broken with a non-zero
base instance, since the calculated instance index could be less than
the base instance.
- Do not silently drop reserved identifiers in the parser. This makes it
possible to reflect identifiers which are reserved by the
cross-compiler module.
- Instead of dropping the name, emit _RESERVED_IDENTIFIER_FIXUP in the
source to make it clear that a name has been rewritten.
- Document what is reserved and not.
Prior to this point, we were treating them as flattened, as they are in
old-style tessellation control shaders, and still are for structs in
new-style shaders. This is not true for outputs; output composites are
not flattened at all. This semantic mismatch broke a Vulkan CTS test.
It should now pass.
To facilitate an improved linking-by-name use case for older GL,
we will be more aggressive about merging struct definitions, even for
rather unrelated cases where we don't strictly need to use type aliases.
In Metal render pipelines don't have an option to set a sampleMask
parameter, the only way to get that functionality is to set the
sample_mask output of the fragment shader to this value directly.
We also need to take care to combine the fixed sample mask with the
one that the shader might possibly output.
This should hopefully reduce underutilization of the GPU, especially on
GPUs where the thread execution width is greater than the number of
control points.
This also simplifies initialization by reading the buffer directly
instead of using Metal's vertex-attribute-in-compute support. It turns
out the only way in which shader stages are allowed to differ in their
interfaces is in the number of components per vector; the base type must
be the same. Since we are using the raw buffer instead of attributes, we
can now also emit arrays and matrices directly into the buffer, instead
of flattening them and then unpacking them. Structs are still flattened,
however; this is due to the need to handle vectors with fewer components
than were output, and I think handling this while also directly emitting
structs could get ugly.
Another advantage of this scheme is that the extra invocations needed to
read the attributes when there were more input than output points are
now no more. The number of threads per workgroup is now lcm(SIMD-size,
output control points). This should ensure we always process a whole
number of patches per workgroup.
To avoid complexity handling indices in the tessellation control shader,
I've also changed the way vertex shaders for tessellation are handled.
They are now compute kernels using Metal's support for vertex-style
stage input. This lets us always emit vertices into the buffer in order
of vertex shader execution. Now we no longer have to deal with indexing
in the tessellation control shader. This also fixes a long-standing
issue where if an index were greater than the number of vertices to
draw, the vertex shader would wind up writing outside the buffer, and
the vertex would be lost.
This is a breaking change, and I know SPIRV-Cross has other clients, so
I've hidden this behind an option for now. In the future, I want to
remove this option and make it the default.
On MSL, the compiler refuses to allow access chains into a normal vector type.
What happens in practice instead is a read-modify-write where a vector type is
loaded, modified and written back.
The workaround is to convert a vector into a pointer-to-scalar before
the access chain continues to add the scalar index.
When inside a loop, treat any read of outer expressions to happen
multiple times, forcing a temporary of said outer expressions.
This avoids the problem where we can end up relying on loop-invariant code motion to happen in the
compiler when converting optimized shaders.
When we see a switch block which only contains one default block, emit a
do {} while(false) statement instead, which is far more idiomatic and
readable anyways.
Metal is picky about interface matching. If the types don't match
exactly, down to the number of vector components, Metal fails pipline
compilation. To support pipelines where the number of components
consumed by the fragment shader is less than that produced by the vertex
shader, we have to fix up the fragment shader to accept all the
components produced.
DX may emit ArrayStride and MatrixStride of 16, but the size of the
object does not align with that and expect to pack other members inside
its last member.
The workaround is to emit array size/col/row one less than we expect and
rely on padding to carve out a "dead zone" for the last member.
DXVK emits SPIR-V where fragment shader builtins have names derived from
DXBC assembly, e.g. `oDepth` for `FragDepth`. When we declared the
disabled output, we used this name, but when referencing it, we
continued to use the GLSL name. This breaks compilation.
Like with `point_size` when not rendering points, Metal complains when
writing to a variable using the `[[depth]]` qualifier when no depth
buffer be attached. In that case, we must avoid emitting `FragDepth`,
just like with `PointSize`.
I assume it will also complain if there be no stencil attachment and the
shader write to `[[stencil]]`, or it write to `[[color(n)]]` but there
be no color attachment at n.
Limit inline blocks to one per descriptor set.
This should avoid the need for complicated code to calculate the
argument buffer ID stride of an inline uniform block. If there's demand
for more inline blocks, we can revisit this.
Here, the inline uniform block is explicit: we instantiate the buffer
block itself in the argument buffer, instead of a pointer to the buffer.
I just hope this will work with the `MTLArgumentDescriptor` API...
Note that Metal recursively assigns individual members of embedded
structs IDs. This means for automatic assignment that we have to
calculate the binding stride for a given buffer block. For MoltenVK,
we'll simply increment the ID by the size of the inline uniform block.
Then the later IDs will never conflict with the inline uniform block. We
can get away with this because Metal doesn't require that IDs be
contiguous, only monotonically increasing.
This is implied in both GL and GLES. Emitting memoryBarrierShared() was
based on earlier confusion in the spec which has since been fixed and
clarified.
MSL does not support this, so we have to emulate it by passing it around
as a varying between stages. We use a special "user(clipN)" attribute
for this rather than locN which is used for user varyings.
This CL updates the test runner to only run spirv-opt if the generated
SPIR-V is valid. If validation is skipped it's possible to hit aborts
and other memory errors in the optimizer as it assumes the SPIR-V is
valid.
There was a hack to workaround a bug in DXC where control point -> patch
constant phase was passed in Function storage, but we have to use
Workgroup here. We will not support these kinds of hacks for invalid
SPIR-V, so hack the reference files to use the "proper" fix and remove
the hack for time being.
Need to make output 100% exact for MSVC and GCC libc testing, but they are 1 ULP
off when converting fp32 to string in some weird corner cases.
Roundtrip should be correct though, but that outside the scope of
SPIRV-Cross.
We had output dependent on complex_continue being set, but setting that
flag was dependent on unordered_set declaration order. Make it invariant
to ordering and change the implementation so it knows about the new
temporary hoisting for access chains.
To support loading array of array properly in tessellation, we need a
rewrite of how tessellation access chains are handled.
The major change is to remove the implicit unflatten step inside
access_chain which does not take into account the case where you load
directly from a control point array variable.
We defer unflatten step until OpLoad time instead.
This fixes cases where we load array of {array,matrix,struct}.
Removes the hacky path for MSL access chain index workaround.
Non-patch arrays of IO variables in tesc/tese have their array index
stripped, and access chains are specially handled, we shouldn't attempt
to create "normal" arrays of these.
This avoids a lot of huge code changes.
Arrays generally cannot be copied in and out of buffers, at least no
compiler frontend seems to do it.
Also avoids a lot of issues surrounding packed vectors and matrices.
If there are enough members in an IAB, we cannot use the constant
address space as MSL compiler complains about there being too many
members. Support emitting the device address space instead.
It is possible for a shader to declare two plain struct types which
simply share the same OpName without there being an implicit
value/buffer alias relationship.
For to_member_name(), make sure to use the type alias master when
resolving member names. The member name may be different in a type alias
master if the SPIR-V is being intentionally difficult.
Rolled the hashes used for glslang, SPIRV-Tools, and SPIRV-Headers to
HEAD, which includes the update to 1.5.
Added passing '--amb' to glslang, so I didn't have to explicitly set
bindings in a large number of test shaders that currently don't, and
now glslang considers them invalid.
Marked all shaders that no longer pass spirv-val as .invalid.
Vulkan has two types of buffer descriptors,
`VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_DYNAMIC` and
`VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER_DYNAMIC`, which allow the client to
offset the buffers by an amount given when the descriptor set is bound
to a pipeline. Metal provides no direct support for this when the buffer
in question is in an argument buffer, so once again we're on our own.
These offsets cannot be stored or associated in any way with the
argument buffer itself, because they are set at bind time. Different
pipelines may have different offsets set. Therefore, we must use a
separate buffer, not in any argument buffer, to hold these offsets. Then
the shader must manually offset the buffer pointer.
This change fully supports arrays, including arrays of arrays, even
though Vulkan forbids them. It does not, however, support runtime
arrays. Perhaps later.
Writable textures cannot use argument buffers on iOS. They must be
passed as arguments directly to the shader function. Since we won't know
if a given storage image will have the `NonWritable` decoration at the
time we encode the argument buffer, we must therefore pass all storage
images as discrete arguments. Previously, we were throwing an error if
we encountered an argument buffer with a writable texture in it on iOS.
This was straightforward to implement in GLSL. The
`ShadingRateInterlockOrderedEXT` and `ShadingRateInterlockUnorderedEXT`
modes aren't implemented yet, because we don't support
`SPV_NV_shading_rate` or `SPV_EXT_fragment_invocation_density` yet.
HLSL and MSL were more interesting. They don't support this directly,
but they do support marking resources as "rasterizer ordered," which
does roughly the same thing. So this implementation scans all accesses
inside the critical section and marks all storage resources found
therein as rasterizer ordered. They also don't support the fine-grained
controls on pixel- vs. sample-level interlock and disabling ordering
guarantees that GLSL and SPIR-V do, but that's OK. "Unordered" here
merely means the order is undefined; that it just so happens to be the
same as rasterizer order is immaterial. As for pixel- vs. sample-level
interlock, Vulkan explicitly states:
> With sample shading enabled, [the `PixelInterlockOrderedEXT` and
> `PixelInterlockUnorderedEXT`] execution modes are treated like
> `SampleInterlockOrderedEXT` or `SampleInterlockUnorderedEXT`
> respectively.
and:
> If [the `SampleInterlockOrderedEXT` or `SampleInterlockUnorderedEXT`]
> execution modes are used in single-sample mode they are treated like
> `PixelInterlockOrderedEXT` or `PixelInterlockUnorderedEXT`
> respectively.
So this will DTRT for MoltenVK and gfx-rs, at least.
MSL additionally supports multiple raster order groups; resources that
are not accessed together can be placed in different ROGs to allow them
to be synchronized separately. A more sophisticated analysis might be
able to place resources optimally, but that's outside the scope of this
change. For now, we assign all resources to group 0, which should do for
our purposes.
`glslang` doesn't support the `RasterizerOrdered` UAVs this
implementation produces for HLSL, so the test case needs `fxc.exe`.
It also insists on GLSL 4.50 for `GL_ARB_fragment_shader_interlock`,
even though the spec says it needs either 4.20 or
`GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store`; and it doesn't support the
`GL_NV_fragment_shader_interlock` extension at all. So I haven't been
able to test those code paths.
Fixes#1002.
This change introduces functions and in one case, a class, to support
the `VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion` extension. Except in the case of
GBGR8 and BGRG8 formats, for which Metal natively supports implicit
chroma reconstruction, we're on our own here. We have to do everything
ourselves. Much of the complexity comes from the need to support
multiple planes, which must now be passed to functions that use the
corresponding combined image-samplers. The rest is from the actual
Y'CbCr conversion itself, which requires additional post-processing of
the sample retrieved from the image.
Passing sampled images to a function was a particular problem. To
support this, I've added a new class which is emitted to MSL shaders
that pass sampled images with Y'CbCr conversions attached around. It
can handle sampled images with or without Y'CbCr conversion. This is an
awful abomination that should not exist, but I'm worried that there's
some shader out there which does this. This support requires Metal 2.0
to work properly, because it uses default-constructed texture objects,
which were only added in MSL 2. I'm not even going to get into arrays of
combined image-samplers--that's a whole other can of worms. They are
deliberately unsupported in this change.
I've taken the liberty of refactoring the support for texture swizzling
while I'm at it. It's now treated as a post-processing step similar to
Y'CbCr conversion. I'd like to think this is cleaner than having
everything in `to_function_name()`/`to_function_args()`. It still looks
really hairy, though. I did, however, get rid of the explicit type
arguments to `spvGatherSwizzle()`/`spvGatherCompareSwizzle()`.
Update the C API. In addition to supporting this new functionality, add
some compiler options that I added in previous changes, but for which I
neglected to update the C API.
ESSL does not support `GL_ARB_post_depth_coverage`. There, we must use
`GL_EXT_post_depth_coverage`. I've added this as a fallback for desktop
as well.
Note that `GL_EXT_post_depth_coverage` also requires the fragment shader
to set `early_fragment_tests` explicitly, while
`GL_ARB_post_depth_coverage` does not. It doesn't really matter either
way, since `SPV_KHR_post_depth_coverage` *also* requires both execution
modes to be explicitly set.
This command allows the caller to set the base value of
`BuiltInWorkgroupId`, and thus of `BuiltInGlobalInvocationId`. Metal
provides no direct support for this... but it does provide a builtin,
`[[grid_origin]]`, normally used to pass the base values for the stage
input region, which we will now abuse to pass the dispatch base and
avoid burning a buffer binding.
`[[grid_origin]]`, as part of Metal's support for compute stage input,
requires MSL 1.2. For 1.0 and 1.1, we're forced to provide a buffer.
(Curiously, this builtin was undocumented until the MSL 2.2 release. Go
figure.)
This is not necessary, as we must emit an invalidating store before we
potentially consume an invalid expression. In fact, we're a bit
conservative here in this case for example:
int tmp = variable;
if (...)
{
variable = 10;
}
else
{
// Consuming tmp here is fine, but it was
// invalidated while emitting other branch.
// Technically, we need to study if there is an invalidating store
// in the CFG between the loading block and this block, and the other
// branch will not be a part of that analysis.
int tmp2 = tmp * tmp;
}
Fixing this case means complex CFG traversal *everywhere*, and it feels like overkill.
Fixing this exposed a bug with access chains, so fix a bug where expression dependencies were not
inherited properly in access chains. Access chains are now considered forwarded if there
is at least one dependency which is also forwarded.
This subtle bug removed any expression validation for trivially swizzled
variables. Make usage suppression a more explicit concept rather than
just hacking off forwarded_temporaries.
There is some fallout here with loop generation since our expression
invalidation is currently a bit too naive to handle loops properly.
The forwarding bug masked this problem until now.
If part of the loop condition is also used in the body, we end up
reading an invalid expression, which in turn forces a temporary to be
generated in the condition block, not good. We'll need to be smarter
here ...
