This avoids a lot of huge code changes.
Arrays generally cannot be copied in and out of buffers, at least no
compiler frontend seems to do it.
Also avoids a lot of issues surrounding packed vectors and matrices.
This maps them to their MSL equivalents. I've mapped `Coherent` to
`volatile` since MSL doesn't have anything weaker than `volatile` but
stronger than nothing.
As part of this, I had to remove the implicit `volatile` added for
atomic operation casts. If the buffer is already `coherent` or
`volatile`, then we would add a second `volatile`, which would be
redundant. I think this is OK even when the buffer *doesn't* have
`coherent`: `T *` is implicitly convertible to `volatile T *`, but not
vice-versa. It seems to compile OK at any rate. (Note that the
non-`volatile` overloads of the atomic functions documented in the spec
aren't present in the MSL 2.2 stdlib headers.)
`restrict` is tricky, because in MSL, as in C++, it needs to go *after*
the asterisk or ampersand for the pointer type it's modifying.
Another issue is that, in the `Simple`, `GLSL450`, and `Vulkan` memory
models, `Restrict` is the default (i.e. does not need to be specified);
but MSL likely follows the `OpenCL` model where `Aliased` is the
default. We probably need to implicitly set either `Restrict` or
`Aliased` depending on the module's declared memory model.
The old method of using a different unpacked matrix type doesn't work
for scalar alignment. It certainly wouldn't have any effect for a square
matrix, since the number of columns and rows are the same. So now we'll
store them as arrays of packed vectors.
We used to use the Binding decoration for this, but this method is
hopelessly broken. If no explicit MSL resource remapping exists, we
remap automatically in a manner which should always "just work".
Atomics are not supported on images or texture_buffers in MSL.
Properly throw an error if OpImageTexelPointer is used (since it can
only be used for atomic operations anyways).
This is necessary to deal with indirect draws, where the draw parameters
are given in a buffer instead of passed by the CPU. For normal draws,
the draw parameters are set with Metal's `setVertexBytes:` method.
This undoes the change to add the vertex count to the aux buffer,
rendering that entire discussion largely moot. Oh well. It was a
discussion that needed to happen anyway.
Structs are aligned as you would expect in MSL (maximum member
alignment), and it is not minimum 16 bytes like in std140.
Also rename the dummy "pad" members to a reserved naming scheme.
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 lot of changes in spirv-opt output.
Some new invalid SPIR-V was found but most of them were not significant
for SPIRV-Cross, so just marked them as invalid.
Even as of Metal 2.1, MSL still doesn't support arrays of buffers
directly. Therefore, we must manually expand them. In the prologue, we
define arrays holding the argument pointers; these arrays are what the
transpiled code ends up referencing. We might be able to do similar
things for textures and samplers prior to MSL 2.0.
Speaking of which, also enable texture arrays on iOS MSL 1.2.
This requires MSL 2.0+.
Also, force `ViewportIndex` and `Layer` to be defined as the correct
type, which is always `uint` in MSL.
Since Metal doesn't yet have geometry shaders, the vertex shader (or
tessellation evaluation shader == "post-tessellation vertex shader" in
Metal jargon) is the only kind of shader that can set this output. This
currently requires an extension to Vulkan, which causes validation of
the SPIR-V binaries for the test cases to fail. Therefore, the test
cases are marked "invalid", even though they're actually perfectly valid
SPIR-V--they just won't work without the
`SPV_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer` extension.
Implement this by flattening outputs and unflattening inputs explicitly.
This allows us to pass down a single struct instead of dealing with the
insanity that would be passing down each flattened member separately.
Remove stage_uniforms_var_id.
Seems to be dead code. Naked uniforms do not exist in SPIR-V for Vulkan,
which this seems to have been intended for. It was also unused elsewhere.
In MSL, these only have an effect on fragment `[[stage_in]]` members.
They have no effect in vertex shaders. The Khronos front end doesn't
even emit the SPIR-V decorations for them.
