MSL inherits the behavior of C where arithmetic on small types are
implicitly converted to int. SPIR-V does not have this behavior, so make
sure that arithmetic results are handled correctly.
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.
Flattening doesn't play well with dynamic indices. In this case, it's
better to leave it as an array of structs.
(I wanted to do this for named blocks generally. Trouble is, the builtin
`gl_out` block is *also* a named block...)
Fixes six more CTS tests, under
`dEQP-VK.tessellation.user_defined_io.per_patch_block_array.*`.
Using vertex-style stage input is complex, and it doesn't support
nesting of structures or arrays. By using raw buffer input instead, we
get this support "for free," and everything becomes much simpler.
Arguably, this is the way I should've done this in the first place.
Eventually, I'd like to make this the default, and then remove the
option altogether. (And I still need to do that with
`multi_patch_workgroup`...)
Should help fix 66 tests in the Vulkan CTS, under the following trees:
- `dEQP-VK.pipeline.*.interface_matching.*`
- `dEQP-VK.tessellation.user_defined_io.*`
- `dEQP-VK.clipping.user_defined.*`
When storing to local variable (eg. OpCopyLogical), the
default device address space used during casts is illegal.
Determine correct address space based on variable type.
It is allowed to redeclare descriptors with different types in Vulkan.
MSL in general does not allow this, but for raw buffers, we can cast the
reference type at the very least.
For typed resources we are kinda hosed. Without descriptor indexing's
PARTIALLY_BOUND_BIT, descriptors must be valid if they are statically
accessed, so it would not be valid to access differently typed aliases
unless that flag is used. There might be a way to reinterpret cast
descriptors, but that seems very sketchy.
Implements support for:
- Single discrete descriptor
- Single argument buffer descriptor
- Array of argument buffer descriptors
Other cases are unimplemented for now since they are extremely painful
to unroll.
- Add CompilerMSL::emit_binary_ptr_op() and to_ptr_expression()
to emit binary pointer op. Compare matrix addresses without automatic
transpose() conversion, to avoid error taking address of temporary copy.
- Add Compiler::add_active_interface_variable() to also track active
interface vars in the entry point for SPIR-V 1.4 and above.
- For OpPtrAccessChain that ends in array element, use Element
as offset to existing index, otherwise it will access into
array dimension that doesn't exist.
- Dereference pointer function call arguments. Ultimately, this
dereferencing is actually backwards, and in future, we should aim
to properly support passing pointer variables between functions,
but such a refactoring was beyond the scope here.
- Use [] to declare array of pointers, as array<T*> is not supported in MSL.
- Add unit test shaders.
The standard `matrix` type in MSL lacked a constructor in the
`threadgroup` AS. This means that it was impossible to declare a
`threadgroup` variable that contains a matrix. This appears to have been
an oversight that was corrected in macOS 13/Xcode 14 beta 4. This
workaround continues to be required, however, for older systems.
To avoid changing interfaces unnecessarily (which shouldn't be a problem
regardless because the old and new types take up the same amount of
storage), only do this for structs if the struct is positively
identified as being used for workgroup storage.
I'm entirely aware this is inconsistent with the way packed matrices are
handled. One of them should be changed to match the other. Not sure
which one.
Fixes 23 CTS tests under `dEQP-VK.memory_model.shared`.
Since `bool` is a logical type, it cannot be used in uniform or storage
buffers. Therefore, replacing it in structures should not change the
shader interface.
We leave it alone for builtins. (FIXME: Should we also leave it for
I/O varyings?)
Fixes 24 CTS tests under `dEQP-VK.memory_model.shared`.
- Assign ulongn physical type to buffer pointers in short arrays
when array stride is larger than pointer size.
- Support GL_EXT_buffer_reference_uvec2 casting
buffer reference pointers to and from uvec2 values.
- When packing structs, include structs inside physical buffers.
- Update mechanism for traversing pointer arrays when calculating type sizes.
- Added unit test shaders.
- Determine sizing and alignments of pointers to types as
distinct from the size and alignment of the types themselves.
- Declare all buffer pointers in the MSL device address space.
- Support struct pointer recursion, where structs can
contain pointers to themselves or to a parent struct.
- Add SPIRType::was_forward_referenced to track if a type was forward
referenced, to help emit MSL structs in the correct dependency order.
- Handle pointers to pointers that are not just arrays of arrays.
HLSL is very fussy about fallthrough in switch blocks, so promote
Unreachable blocks to breaks if they are inside a switch construct.
Some false positives are possible in weird multi-break scenarios, but
this is benign.
Speculate that we can modify the SSA value in-place. As long as it is
not used after the modify, this is fine.
Also need to make sure we don't attempt to RMW something that is
impossible to modify.
