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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Support MSL typedefs to declare 3-row row-major matrices as 3-column matrices.
Allow those matrices to be decorated as packed.
Support transposing those matrices when used.
Modify how member alignments are calculated.
Support Workgroup (threadgroup) variables.
Mark if SPIRConstant is used as an array length, since it cannot be specialized.
Resolve specialized array length constants.
Support passing an array to MSL function.
Support emitting GLSL array assignments in MSL via an array copy function.
Support for memory and control barriers.
Struct packing enhancements, including packing nested structs.
Enhancements to replacing illegal MSL variable and function names.
Add Compiler::get_entry_point_name_map() function to retrieve entry point renamings.
Remove CompilerGLSL::clean_func_name() as obsolete.
