This allows two variables of the same struct type to be flattened
into the same interface struct without a member name conflict.
Add shaders-msl/frag/in_block_with_multiple_structs_of_same_type.frag
unit test shader to demonstrate this.
Makes codegen from typical D3D emulation SPIR-V more readable.
Also makes cross compilation with NotEqual more sensible.
It's very rare to actually need the strict NaN-checks in practice.
Also, glslang now emits UnordNotEqual by default it seems, so give up
trying to assume OrdNotEqual. Harmonize for UnordNotEqual as the sane
default.
We were passing arrays by value which the compiler fails to optimize,
causing abyssal performance. To fix this, we need to consider that
descriptors can be in constant or const device address spaces.
Also, lone descriptors are passed by value, so we explicitly remove address
space qualifiers.
One failure case is when shader passes a texture/sampler array as an
argument. It's all UniformConstant in SPIR-V, but in MSL it might be
thread, const device or constant, so that won't work ...
Global variable use works fine though, and that should cover 99.9999999%
of use cases.
SPIR-V allows an image to be marked as a depth image, but with a non-depth
format. Such images should be read or sampled as vectors instead of scalars,
except when they are subject to compare operations.
Don't mark an OpSampledImage as using a compare operation just because the
image contains a depth marker. Instead, require that a compare operation
is actually used on that image.
Compiler::image_is_comparison() was really testing whether an image is a
depth image, since it incorporates the depth marker. Rename that function
to is_depth_image(), to clarify what it is really testing.
In Compiler::is_depth_image(), do not treat an image as a depth image
if it has been explicitly marked with a color format, unless the image
is subject to compare operations.
In CompilerMSL::to_function_name(), test for compare operations
specifically, rather than assuming them from the depth-image marker.
CompilerGLSL and CompilerMSL still contain a number of internal tests that
use is_depth_image() both for testing for a depth image, and for testing
whether compare operations are being used. I've left these as they are
for now, but these should be cleaned up at some point.
Add unit tests for fetch/sample depth images with color formats and no compare ops.
Emit synthetic functions before function constants.
Support use of spvQuantizeToF16() in function constants for numerical
behavior consistency with the op code.
Ensure subnormal results from OpQuantizeToF16 are flushed to zero per SPIR-V spec.
Adjust SPIRV-Cross unit test reference shaders to accommodate these changes.
Any MSL reference shader that inclues a synthetic function is affected,
since the location it is emitted has changed.
Add spvQuantizeToF16() family of synthetic functions to convert
from float to half and back again, and add function attribute
[[clang::optnone]] to honor infinities during conversions.
Adjust SPIRV-Cross unit test reference shaders to accommodate these changes.

Subsequent stages can legally attempt to read from these variables,
which causes compilation failure.
Always make sure we emit user outputs in vertex shaders if they are
active in the entry point.
New in MSL 2.3 is a template that can be used in the place of a scalar
type in a stage-in struct. This template has methods which interpolate
the varying at the given points. Curiously, you can't set interpolation
attributes on such a varying; perspective-correctness is encoded in the
type, while interpolation must be done using one of the methods. This
makes using this somewhat awkward from SPIRV-Cross, requiring us to jump
through a bunch of hoops to make this all work.
Using varyings from functions in particular is a pain point, requiring
us to pass the stage-in struct itself around. An alternative is to pass
references to the interpolants; except this will fall over badly with
composite types, which naturally must be flattened. As with
tessellation, dynamic indexing isn't supported with pull-model
interpolation. This is because of the need to reference the original
struct member in order to call one of the pull-model interpolation
methods on it. Also, this is done at the variable level; this means that
if one varying in a struct is used with the pull-model functions, then
the entire struct is emitted as pull-model interpolants.
For some reason, this was not documented in the MSL spec, though there
is a property on `MTLDevice`, `supportsPullModelInterpolation`,
indicating support for this, which *is* documented. This does not appear
to be implemented yet for AMD: it returns `NO` from
`supportsPullModelInterpolation`, and pipelines with shaders using the
templates fail to compile. It *is* implemeted for Intel. It's probably
also implemented for Apple GPUs: on Apple Silicon, OpenGL calls down to
Metal, and it wouldn't be possible to use the interpolation functions
without this implemented in Metal.
Based on my testing, where SPIR-V and GLSL have the offset relative to
the pixel center, in Metal it appears to be relative to the pixel's
upper-left corner, as in HLSL. Therefore, I've added an offset 0.4375,
i.e. one half minus one sixteenth, to all arguments to
`interpolate_at_offset()`.
This also fixes a long-standing bug: if a pull-model interpolation
function is used on a varying, make sure that varying is declared. We
were already doing this only for the AMD pull-model function,
`interpolateAtVertexAMD()`; for reasons which are completely beyond me,
we weren't doing this for the base interpolation functions. I also note
that there are no tests for the interpolation functions for GLSL or
HLSL.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
