This is somewhat tricky, because in MSL this value is obtained through a
function, `get_sample_position()`. Since the call expression is an
rvalue, it can't be passed by reference, so functions get a copy
instead.
This was the last piece preventing us from turning on sample-rate
shading support in MoltenVK.
Implement this by flattening outputs and unflattening inputs explicitly.
This allows us to pass down a single struct instead of dealing with the
insanity that would be passing down each flattened member separately.
Remove stage_uniforms_var_id.
Seems to be dead code. Naked uniforms do not exist in SPIR-V for Vulkan,
which this seems to have been intended for. It was also unused elsewhere.
We were passing a constant '1' to `emit_atomic_func_op()`--which caused
us to refer to SPIR-V value `%1`, which is almost certainly not what we
want! What we really want is to add/subtract the literal constant '1'
to/from the memory location.
This only affects the builtin when it is used, and not when it's passed
to a function. It's a lot cleaner than the way I was doing it before.
Remove the `to_expression()` hack.
In SPIR-V, builtin integral vectors can be either signed or unsigned,
but in MSL they're always unsigned. Unfortunately, the MSL spec forbids
implicit conversions between vector types--even if the corresponding
scalar types would implicitly convert. If you try, the result is a
cryptic error message such as:
```
program_source:37:60: error: cannot convert between vector values of different size ('int4' (aka 'vector_int4') and 'vector_uint4' (vector of 4 'unsigned int' values))
float4 r3 = as_type<float4>((as_type<int4>(r0) * gl_LocalInvocationID.xyyy) + as_type<int4>(r2));
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
Therefore, uses of these builtins must be explicitly cast, since the
rest of the binary likely assumes that the builtin is of its declared
type.
Two varyings (vertex outputs/fragment inputs) might have the same
location but be in different components--e.g. the compiler may have
packed what were two different varyings into a single varying vector.
Giving both varyings the same `[[user]]` attribute won't work--it may
yield unexpected results, or flat out fail to link. We could eventually
pack such varyings into a single vector, but that would require us to
handle the case where the varyings are different types--e.g. a `float`
and a `uint` packed into the same vector. For now, it seems most
prudent to give them unique `[[user]]` locations and let Apple's
compiler work out the best way to pack them.
In MSL, these only have an effect on fragment `[[stage_in]]` members.
They have no effect in vertex shaders. The Khronos front end doesn't
even emit the SPIR-V decorations for them.
