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.
- 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.
This adds a new C API for SPIRV-Cross which is intended to be stable,
both API and ABI wise.
The C++ API has been refactored a bit to make the C wrapper easier and
cleaner to write. Especially the vertex attribute / resource interfaces
for MSL has been rewritten to avoid taking mutable pointers into the
interface. This would be very annoying to wrap and it didn't fit well
with the rest of the C++ API to begin with. While doing this, I went
ahead and removed all the old deprecated interfaces.
The CMake build system has also seen an overhaul.
It is now possible to build static/shared/CLI separately with -D
options.
The shared library only exposes the C API, as it is the only ABI-stable
API. pkg-configs as well as CMake modules are exported and installed for
the shared library configuration.
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.
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.
Opt-in, since user need to know about a cbuffer.
Conflicts a bit with the GLSL option for base instance,
since that one is enabled by default, but the HLSL one isn't (because
user needs to know about a magic cbuffer, whereas GLSL can only get
default initialized uniform).
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.
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.
HLSL just picked the variable name which did not work as expected for
some users. Use the same logic as GLSL and set up declared_block_names,
so the actual name can be queried later.
This is a large refactor which splits out the SPIR-V parser from
Compiler and moves it into its more appropriately named Parser module.
The Parser is responsible for building a ParsedIR structure which is
then consumed by one or more compilers.
Compiler can take a ParsedIR by value or move reference. This should
allow for optimal case for both multiple compilations and single
compilation scenarios.
Some projects build SPIRV-Cross as a single translation unit
and this causes a lot of warnings because the same macro is redeclared
multiple times in the different backends. This make sure that each
backend has its own namespace for internal macros.
- The HLSL compiler now has its own list of keywords in addition to
the ones from GLSL.
- Added "buffer", "precise", and "shared" to the GLSL keywords.
Replace with common/hlsl/msl instead. The old interface had some bad
interaction with overloading which meant you had to up-cast to base
class to be able to use set_options, which was awkward.
