In multiple-entry-point modules, we declared builtin inputs which were
not supposed to be used for that entry point.
Fix this, by being more strict when checking which builtins to emit.
This gets rather complicated because MSL does not support OpArrayLength
natively. We need to pass down a buffer which contains buffer sizes, and
we compute the array length on-demand.
Support both discrete descriptors as well as argument buffers.
MSL generally emits the aliases, which means we cannot always place the
master type first, unlike GLSL and HLSL. The logic fix is just to
reorder after we have tagged types with packing information, rather than
doing it in the parser fixup.
Change aux buffer to swizzle buffer.
There is no good reason to expand the aux buffer, so name it
appropriately.
Make the code cleaner by emitting a straight pointer to uint rather than
a dummy struct which only contains a single unsized array member anyways.
This will also end up being very similar to how we implement swizzle
buffers for argument buffers.
Do not use implied binding if it overflows int32_t.
Some support for subgroups is present starting in Metal 2.0 on both iOS
and macOS. macOS gains more complete support in 10.14 (Metal 2.1).
Some restrictions are present. On iOS and on macOS 10.13, the
implementation of `OpGroupNonUniformElect` is incorrect: if thread 0 has
already terminated or is not executing a conditional branch, the first
thread that *is* will falsely believe itself not to be. Unfortunately,
this operation is part of the "basic" feature set; without it, subgroups
cannot be supported at all.
The `SubgroupSize` and `SubgroupLocalInvocationId` builtins are only
available in compute shaders (and, by extension, tessellation control
shaders), despite SPIR-V making them available in all stages. This
limits the usefulness of some of the subgroup operations in fragment
shaders.
Although Metal on macOS supports some clustered, inclusive, and
exclusive operations, it does not support them all. In particular,
inclusive and exclusive min, max, and, or, and xor; as well as cluster
sizes other than 4 are not supported. If this becomes a problem, they
could be emulated, but at a significant performance cost due to the need
for non-uniform operations.
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.
