GLSL and RelaxedPrecision are quite different in what they affect.
RelaxedPrecision affects operations, while this is merely implied in
GLSL based on inputs.
This leads to situations where we have to promote mediump inputs to
highp, and the simplest approach is to force highp temporaries for
inputs which are consumed in a highp context. For completeness, we also
demote RelaxedPrecision inputs to mediump variables.
PHI is handled by copying the PHI into a temporary.
We have to be very careful with hoisted temporaries, since the child
temporary will not be analyzed up-front. We inherit the hoisted-ness
state and emit the hoisted child temporary as necessary. When faking the
temporaries with OpCopyObject, we make sure to block any variable
hoisting.
Hoisting children of PHI variables is fine, since PHIs are not hoisted with
the same framework as other temporaries.
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.
