It's intended to be used with MoltenVK to support arbitrary
`VkComponentMapping` settings. The idea is that MoltenVK will pass a
buffer (which it set to some buffer index that isn't being used)
containing packed versions of the `VkComponentMapping` struct, one for
each sampled image.
Yes, this is horribly ugly. It is unfortunately necessary. Much of the
ugliness is to support swizzling gather operations, where we need to
alter the component that the gather operates on--something complicated
by the `gather()` method requiring the passed-in component to be a
constant expression. It doesn't even support swizzling gathers on depth
textures, though I could add that if it turns out we need it.
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.
This is somewhat tricky, because in MSL this value is obtained through a
function, `get_sample_position()`. Since the call expression is an
rvalue, it can't be passed by reference, so functions get a copy
instead.
This was the last piece preventing us from turning on sample-rate
shading support in MoltenVK.
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.
We were passing a constant '1' to `emit_atomic_func_op()`--which caused
us to refer to SPIR-V value `%1`, which is almost certainly not what we
want! What we really want is to add/subtract the literal constant '1'
to/from the memory location.
This only affects the builtin when it is used, and not when it's passed
to a function. It's a lot cleaner than the way I was doing it before.
Remove the `to_expression()` hack.
In SPIR-V, builtin integral vectors can be either signed or unsigned,
but in MSL they're always unsigned. Unfortunately, the MSL spec forbids
implicit conversions between vector types--even if the corresponding
scalar types would implicitly convert. If you try, the result is a
cryptic error message such as:
```
program_source:37:60: error: cannot convert between vector values of different size ('int4' (aka 'vector_int4') and 'vector_uint4' (vector of 4 'unsigned int' values))
float4 r3 = as_type<float4>((as_type<int4>(r0) * gl_LocalInvocationID.xyyy) + as_type<int4>(r2));
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
Therefore, uses of these builtins must be explicitly cast, since the
rest of the binary likely assumes that the builtin is of its declared
type.
Two varyings (vertex outputs/fragment inputs) might have the same
location but be in different components--e.g. the compiler may have
packed what were two different varyings into a single varying vector.
Giving both varyings the same `[[user]]` attribute won't work--it may
yield unexpected results, or flat out fail to link. We could eventually
pack such varyings into a single vector, but that would require us to
handle the case where the varyings are different types--e.g. a `float`
and a `uint` packed into the same vector. For now, it seems most
prudent to give them unique `[[user]]` locations and let Apple's
compiler work out the best way to pack them.
This roughly matches their semantics in SPIR-V and MSL. For `FMin`,
`FMax`, and `FClamp`, and the Metal functions `fast::min()`,
`fast::max()`, and `fast::clamp()`, the result is undefined if any
operand is NaN. For the 'N' operations and their corresponding MSL
`precise::` functions, the result is consistent with IEEE 754 (first
non-NaN wins; result is NaN if all operands are NaN).
We can only do this with 32-bit floats, though, because Metal only
provides these variants for `float`. `half` only has one variant of
these functions that is presumably consistent with IEEE 754. I guess
that's OK; the SPIR-V spec only says that `F{Min,Max,Clamp}` are
undefined for NaNs. Performance might suffer, though.
The SPIR-V spec says that these check if the operands either are
unordered or satisfy the given condition. So that's just what we'll do,
using Metal's `isunordered()` stdlib function. Apple's optimizers ought
to be able to collapse that to a single unordered compare.
When the name of an alias global variable collides with a global
declaration, MSL would emit inconsistent names, sometimes with the
naming fix, sometimes without, because names were being tracked in two
separate meta blocks. Fix this by always redirecting parameter naming to
the original base variable as necessary.
MSL would force thread const& which would not work if the input argument
came from a different storage class.
Emit proper non-reference arguments for such values.
Add CompilerMSL::Options::disable_rasterization input/output API flag.
Disable rasterization via API flag or when writing to textures.
Disable rasterization when shader declares no output.
Add test shaders for vertex no output and write texture forcing void output.
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.
Add CompilerMSL::Options::texture_width_max.
Emit and use spvTexelBufferCoord() function to convert 1D
texel buffer coordinates to 2D Metal texture coordinates.
Support flattening StorageOutput & StorageInput matrices and arrays.
No longer move matrix & array inputs to separate buffer.
Add separate SPIRFunction::fixup_statements_in & SPIRFunction::fixup_statements_out
instead of just SPIRFunction::fixup_statements.
Emit SPIRFunction::fixup_statements at beginning of functions.
CompilerMSL track vars_needing_early_declaration.
Pass global output variables as variables to functions that access them.
Sort input structs by location, same as output structs.
Emit struct declarations in order output, input, uniforms.
Regenerate reference shaders to new formats defined by above.
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.
