restrict was supported, but it broke in MSL 3.0. __restrict works on all
versions, so opt for that instead.
Also check for RestrictPointer decoration and refactor to_restrict() to
not take optional parameter to make it more obvious when implied space
character is added.
Add support for declaring a fixed subgroup size. Metal, like Vulkan with
`VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control`, allows the thread execution width to
vary depending on factors such as register usage. Unfortunately, this
breaks several tests that depend on the subgroup size being what the
device says it is. So we'll fix the subgroup size at the size the device
declares. The extra invocations in the subgroup will appear to be
inactive. Because of this, the ballot mask builtins are now ANDed with
the active subgroup mask.
Add support for emulating a subgroup of size 1. This is intended to be
used by Vulkan Portability implementations (e.g. MoltenVK) when the
hardware/software combo provides insufficient support for subgroups.
Luckily for us, Vulkan 1.1 only requires that the subgroup size be at
least 1.
Add support for quadgroup and SIMD-group functions which were added to
iOS in Metal 2.2 and 2.3. This will allow clients to take advantage of
expanded quadgroup and SIMD-group support in recent Metal versions and
on recent Apple GPUs (families 6 and 7).
Gut emulation of subgroup builtins in fragment shaders. It turns out
codegen for the SIMD-group functions in fragment wasn't implemented for
AMD on Mojave; it's a safe bet that it wasn't implemented for the other
drivers either. Subgroup support in fragment shaders now requires Metal
2.2.
Metal doesn't support broadcasting or shuffling boolean values, but we
can work around that by casting it to `ushort`, then casting it back to
`bool`. I used `ushort` instead of `uint` because 16-bit values give
better throughput on Apple GPUs.
- Fixes issue with clip_distance flattening in MSL where member to
flatten from would come from to_member_name, where it should have used
the builtin name directly. This member name was modified by this patch
and broke clip distance test shaders.
- Some cleanups with ir.meta, use ir.find_meta instead to not create
unnecessary hashmap nodes.
Make sure to test everything with scalar as well to catch any weird edge
cases.
Not all opcodes are covered here, just the arithmetic ones. FP64 packing
is also ignored.
