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.
- 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.
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.
Just like we try to fixup struct names for block types, inner structs
can be "anonymous" structs. HLSL codegen from DXC tends to emit this,
and emitting dummy struct names tends to break GL linkage on some
drivers.
This allows two variables of the same struct type to be flattened
into the same interface struct without a member name conflict.
Add shaders-msl/frag/in_block_with_multiple_structs_of_same_type.frag
unit test shader to demonstrate this.
We were passing arrays by value which the compiler fails to optimize,
causing abyssal performance. To fix this, we need to consider that
descriptors can be in constant or const device address spaces.
Also, lone descriptors are passed by value, so we explicitly remove address
space qualifiers.
One failure case is when shader passes a texture/sampler array as an
argument. It's all UniformConstant in SPIR-V, but in MSL it might be
thread, const device or constant, so that won't work ...
Global variable use works fine though, and that should cover 99.9999999%
of use cases.
Need this to be context sensitive, since array of block-like struct is
template, but struct of block-like array is C-style.
Also, test a mix and match, so we have constant array of block-like
struct with array inside. :v
Emit synthetic functions before function constants.
Support use of spvQuantizeToF16() in function constants for numerical
behavior consistency with the op code.
Ensure subnormal results from OpQuantizeToF16 are flushed to zero per SPIR-V spec.
Adjust SPIRV-Cross unit test reference shaders to accommodate these changes.
Any MSL reference shader that inclues a synthetic function is affected,
since the location it is emitted has changed.
* Fix '--msl-multi-patch-workgroup' cases where thread count exceeds data bounds
*Fix gl_PrimitiveID off by one error when computing last valid index
*Point gl_out to the last patch's data when threads exceed input data bounds
*Point patchOut to the last patch's data when threads exceed input data bounds
* Update MSL test expectations.
* Undo change to MSL multi-patch hull output bound checks
* Update MSL multi-patch test expectations.
Firstly, never flatten inputs or outputs in multi-patch mode.
The main scenario where we do need to care is Block IO.
In this case, we should only flatten the top-level member, and after
that we use access chains as normal.
Using structs in Input storage class is now possible as well. We don't
need to consider per-location fixups at all here. In Vulkan, IO structs
must match exactly. Only plain vectors can have smaller vector sizes as
a special case.
