MSL does not seem to have a qualifier for this, but HLSL SM 5.1 does.
glslangValidator for HLSL does not support this, so skip any validation,
but it passes in FXC.
Buffer objects can contain arbitrary pointers to blocks.
We can also implement ConvertPtrToU and ConvertUToPtr.
The latter can cast a uint64_t to any type as it pleases,
so we will need to generate fake buffer reference blocks to be able to
cast the type.
We made the mistake of registering a dependency on the atomic variable
even if the atomic result was forced to a temporary. There is no need to
register reads from atomic variables like this as we always force atomic
results to a temporary and argument read/writes do not need to be
tracked.
If we generate an access chain in a loop body, and it is consumed in the
loop continue block, we have a problem because we cannot emit a
temporary here holding the access chain reference. Force a complex loop
body to workaround this exceptionally rare case.
- Replace ostringstream with custom implementation.
~30% performance uplift on vector-shuffle-oom test.
Allocations are measurably reduced in Valgrind.
- Replace std::vector with SmallVector.
Classic malloc optimization, small vectors are backed by inline data.
~ 7-8% gain on vector-shuffle-oom on GCC 8 on Linux.
- Use an object pool for IVariant type.
We generally allocate a lot of SPIR* objects. We can amortize these
allocations neatly by pooling them.
- ~15% overall uplift on ./test_shaders.py --iterations 10000 shaders/.
We had a bug where error conditions in DoWhileLoop emit path would not
detect that statements were being emitted due to the masking behavior
which happens when force_recompile is true. Fix this.
Also, refactor force_recompile into member functions so we can properly
break on any situation where this is set, without having to rely on
watchpoints in debuggers.
This is a pragmatic trick to avoid symbol collision where a project
links against SPIRV-Cross statically, while linking to other projects
which also use SPIRV-Cross statically. We can end up with very awkward
symbol collisions which can resolve themselves silently because
SPIRV-Cross is pulled in as necessary. To fix this, we must use
different symbols and embed two copies of SPIRV-Cross in this scenario,
now with different namespaces, which in turn leads to different symbols.
The design of backend.int16_t_literal_suffix and backend.uint16_t_literal_suffix
allows them to be set to null, but that was not always tested for.
I have removed the expectation that they can be null and set
backend.int16_t_literal_suffix to "" when no suffix is needed.
That has the same effect, and seemed to be a more usable and defensive approach.
-1 (0xffffffff) literal means the component should be undefined.
Since we cannot express undefined directly, just use a 0 literal in the
appropriate type.
We have an edge case where the array is declared with a concrete size,
but in GLSL we must emit an unsized array, which breaks array copies.
Deal explicitly with this.
We can trivially deal with cases where the loop tests are simply
inverted. We can also deal with cases where the condition block branches
to the merge block via other noop blocks.
This makes SPIR-V codegen easier when targeting SPIRV-Cross.
We were using std::locale::global() to force a C locale which is not
safe when SPIRV-Cross is used in a multi-threaded environment.
To fix this, we could tap into various per-platform specific locale
handling to get safe thread-local locales, but since locales only affect
the decimal point in floats, we simply query the locale instead and do
the necessary radix replacement ourselves, without touching the locale.
This should be much safer and cleaner than the alternative.
These are mapped to Metal's post-tessellation vertex functions. The
semantic difference is much less here, so this change should be simpler
than the previous one. There are still some hairy parts, though.
In MSL, the array of control point data is represented by a special
type, `patch_control_point<T>`, where `T` is a valid stage-input type.
This object must be embedded inside the patch-level stage input. For
this reason, I've added a new type to the type system to represent this.
On Mac, the number of input control points to the function must be
specified in the `patch()` attribute. This is optional on iOS.
SPIRV-Cross takes this from the `OutputVertices` execution mode; the
intent is that if it's not set in the shader itself, MoltenVK will set
it from the tessellation control shader. If you're translating these
offline, you'll have to update the control point count manually, since
this number must match the number that is passed to the
`drawPatches:...` family of methods.
Fixes#120.
When we force recompile, the old var.self name we used as a fallback
name might have been disturbed, so we should recover certain names back
to their original form in case we are forced to take a recompile to make
the naming algorithm more deterministic.
`bitcast_glsl_op()` is sometimes called for `Boolean` types, e.g. for
specialization constants. We don't want the assert to trip if this is
going to be a no-op anyway.
Storage was in place already, so mostly just dealing with bitcasts and
constants.
Simplies some of the bitcasting logic, and this exposed some bugs in the
implementation. Refactor to use correct width integers with explicit bitcast opcodes.
Structs are aligned as you would expect in MSL (maximum member
alignment), and it is not minimum 16 bytes like in std140.
Also rename the dummy "pad" members to a reserved naming scheme.
MSL does not support value semantics for arrays (sigh), so we need to
force constant references and deal with copies if we have a different
address space than what we end up guessing.
A flat array was consuming way too much memory and was far too slow to
initialize properly with a very large ID bound (8 million IDs, showed up as #1 hotspot in perf).
Meta struct does not have to be in-order as we never iterate over it in
a meaningful way, so using a hashmap here is reasonable. Very few IDs
should need decorations or meta-data, so this should also be a quite
decent memory save.
For the pathological case, a 6x uplift was observed.
This is a fairly fundamental change on how IDs are handled.
It serves many purposes:
- Improve performance. We only need to iterate over IDs which are
relevant at any one time.
- Makes sure we iterate through IDs in SPIR-V module declaration order
rather than ID space. IDs don't have to be monotonically increasing,
which was an assumption SPIRV-Cross used to have. It has apparently
never been a problem until now.
- Support LUTs of structs. We do this by interleaving declaration of
constants and struct types in SPIR-V module order.
To support this, the ParsedIR interface needed to change slightly.
Before setting any ID with variant_set<T> we let ParsedIR know
that an ID with a specific type has been added. The surface for change
should be minimal.
ParsedIR will maintain a per-type list of IDs which the cross-compiler
will need to consider for later.
Instead of looping over ir.ids[] (which can be extremely large), we loop
over types now, using:
ir.for_each_typed_id<SPIRVariable>([&](uint32_t id, SPIRVariable &var) {
handle_variable(var);
});
Now we make sure that we're never looking at irrelevant types.
This allows shaders to declare and use pointer-type variables. Pointers
may be loaded and stored, be the result of an `OpSelect`, be passed to
and returned from functions, and even be passed as inputs to the `OpPhi`
instruction. All types of pointers may be used as variable pointers.
Variable pointers to storage buffers and workgroup memory may even be
loaded from and stored to, as though they were ordinary variables. In
addition, this enables using an interior pointer to an array as though
it were an array pointer itself using the `OpPtrAccessChain`
instruction.
This is a rather large and involved change, mostly because this is
somewhat complicated with a lot of moving parts. It's a wonder
SPIRV-Cross's output is largely unchanged. Indeed, many of these changes
are to accomplish exactly that! Perhaps the largest source of changes
was the violation of the assumption that, when emitting types, the
pointer type didn't matter.
One of the test cases added by the change doesn't optimize very well;
the output of `spirv-opt` here is invalid SPIR-V. I need to file a bug
with SPIRV-Tools about this.
I wanted to test that variable pointers to images worked too, but I
couldn't figure out how to propagate the access qualifier properly--in
MSL, it's part of the type, so getting this right is important. I've
punted on that for now.
Just like OpAccessChain we need to make use of the meta information
available to use from access_chain_internal as we can extract a packed
vector or transposed vector from a composite, not just memory load.
A block name cannot alias with any name in its own scope,
and it cannot alias with any other "global" name.
To solve this, we need to complicate the name cache updates a little bit
where we have a "primary" namespace and "secondary" namespace.
This is required to avoid relying on complex sub-expression elimination
in compilers, and generates cleaner code.
The problem case is if a complex expression is used in an access chain,
like:
Composite comp = buffer[texture(...)];
vec4 a = comp.a + comp.b + comp.c;
Before, we did not have common subexpression tracking for
OpLoad/OpAccessChain, so we easily ended up with code like:
vec4 a = buffer[texture(...)].a + buffer[texture(...)].b + buffer[texture(...)].c;
A good compiler will optimize this, but we should not rely on it, and
forcing texture(...) to a temporary also looks better.
The solution is to add a vector "implied_expression_reads", which works
similarly to expression_dependencies. We also need an extra mechanism in
to_expression which lets us skip expression read checking and do it
later. E.g. for expr -> access chain -> load, we should only trigger
a read of expr when using the loaded expression.
Avoids certain cases of variance between translation units by forcing
every dependent expression of a store to be temporary.
Should avoid the major failure cases where invariance matters.
In GLSL, 8-bit types require GL_EXT_shader_8bit_storage. 16-bit types
can use either GL_AMD_gpu_shader_int16/GL_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float or
GL_EXT_shader_16bit_storage.
When trying to validate buffer sizes, we usually need to bail out when
using SpecConstantOps, but for some very specific cases where we allow
unsized arrays currently, we can safely allow "unknown" sized arrays as
well.
This is probably the best we can do, when we have even more difficult
cases than this, we throw a more sensible error message.
Previously, when generating non-Vulkan GLSL, each use of a spec constant
would be subsituted for its default value and the declaration of the constant
itself would be omitted completely.
This change slightly alters this behavior. The uses of the constant are kept,
as well as the declaration, although the latter is stripped of the layout
qualifier. The declaration is also prepended with the following code:
#ifndef <constant name>_value
#define <constant name> <default constant value>
#endif
and the constant itself now looks like
const <constant type> <constant name> = <constant name>_value;
The rationale for this change is that it gives the user a way to provide
custom values for specialization constants even when the target does not
support them.
Setting force_temporary to true produces invalid GLSL because sampler
variables are copied:
highp sampler2D _377 = DiffuseMapTexture;
This change fixes the problem by always forwarding forwardable
variables. I also took an opportunity to restructure the code to make
it easier to read and add extra conditions to in the future.
