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.
We had a case where loops were marked complex in a cascading fashion
where each loop iteration would discover one new complex loop. This was
a problem with three nested loops.
This will be awkward to report in GLSL where we check multiple packing
standards, but for HLSL it should be easy since there's only CBuffer
packing standard to worry about.
There is no direct way to express this, so invert boolean results to
force any NaN -> true. glslang emits Ordered compare instructions
everywhere, and the GLSL spec is not clear on this, so assume this is
fine.
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.
First, when generating from HLSL before invoking the code that comes from the HLSL patch-function a control-flow and full memory-barrier are required to ensure that all the temporary values in thread-local storage for the patch are available.
Second, the inputs to control and evaluation shaders must be properly forwarded from the global variables in SPIRV to the member variables in the relevant input structure.
Finally when arrays of interpolators are used for input or output we need to add an extra level of array indirection because Metal works at a different granularity than SPIRV.
Five parts.
1. Fix tessellation patch function processing.
2. Fix loads from tessellation control inputs not being forwarded to the gl_in structure array.
3. Fix loads from tessellation evaluation inputs not being forwarded to the stage_in structure array.
4. Workaround SPIRV losing an array indirection in tessellation shaders - not the best solution but enough to keep things progressing.
5. Apparently gl_TessLevelInner/Outer is special and needs to not be placed into the input array.
Some fallout where internal functions are using stronger types.
Overkill to move everything over to strong types right now, but perhaps
move over to it slowly over time.
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.
