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.
Fixes numerous CTS tests of types
dEQP-VK.pipeline.interface_matching.vector_length.member_of_*,
passing complex nested structs between stages as stage I/O.
- Make add_composite_member_variable_to_interface_block() recursive to allow
struct members to contain nested structs, building up member names and access
chains recursively, and only add the resulting flattened leaf members to the
synthetic input and output interface blocks.
- Recursively generate individual location numbers for the flattened members
of the input/output block.
- Replace to_qualified_member_name() with append_member_name().
- Update add_variable_to_interface_block() to support arrays as struct members,
adding a member to input and output interface blocks for each element of the array.
- Pass name qualifiers to add_plain_member_variable_to_interface_block() to allow
struct members to be arrays of structs, building up member names and access chains,
and adding multiple distinct flattened leaf members to the synthetic input and
output interface blocks.
- Generate individual location numbers for the individual array members
of the input/output block.
- SPIRVCrossDecorationInterfaceMemberIndex references the index of a member
of a variable that is a struct type. The value is relative to the variable,
and for structs nested within that top-level struct, the index value needs
to take into consideration the members within those nested structs.
- Pass var_mbr_idx to add_plain_member_variable_to_interface_block() and
add_composite_member_variable_to_interface_block(), start at zero for each
variable, and increment for each member or nested member within that variable.
- Add unit test shaders-msl/vert/out-block-with-nested-struct-array.vert
- Add unit test shaders-msl/vert/out-block-with-struct-array.vert
- Add unit test shaders-msl/tese/in-block-with-nested-struct.tese
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.
To support loading array of array properly in tessellation, we need a
rewrite of how tessellation access chains are handled.
The major change is to remove the implicit unflatten step inside
access_chain which does not take into account the case where you load
directly from a control point array variable.
We defer unflatten step until OpLoad time instead.
This fixes cases where we load array of {array,matrix,struct}.
Removes the hacky path for MSL access chain index workaround.
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".
The tessellation levels in Metal are stored as a densely-packed array of
half-precision floating point values. But, stage-in attributes in Metal
have to have offsets and strides aligned to a multiple of four, so we
can't add them individually. Luckily for us, the arrays have lengths
less than 4. So, let's use vectors for them!
Triangles get a single attribute with a `float4`, where the outer levels
are in `.xyz` and the inner levels are in `.w`. The arrays are unpacked
as though we had added the elements individually. Quads get two: a
`float4` with the outer levels and a `float2` with the inner levels.
Further, since vectors can be indexed as arrays, there's no need to
unpack them in this case.
This also saves on precious vertex attributes. Before, we were using up
to 6 of them. Now we need two at most.
This is intended to be used to support `VK_KHR_maintenance2`'s
tessellation domain origin feature. If `tess_domain_origin_lower_left`
is `true`, the `v` coordinate will be inverted with respect to the
domain. Additionally, in `Triangles` mode, the `v` and `w` coordinates
will be swapped. This is because the winding order is interpreted
differently in lower-left mode.
These are mapped to Metal's post-tessellation vertex functions. The
semantic difference is much less here, so this change should be simpler
than the previous one. There are still some hairy parts, though.
In MSL, the array of control point data is represented by a special
type, `patch_control_point<T>`, where `T` is a valid stage-input type.
This object must be embedded inside the patch-level stage input. For
this reason, I've added a new type to the type system to represent this.
On Mac, the number of input control points to the function must be
specified in the `patch()` attribute. This is optional on iOS.
SPIRV-Cross takes this from the `OutputVertices` execution mode; the
intent is that if it's not set in the shader itself, MoltenVK will set
it from the tessellation control shader. If you're translating these
offline, you'll have to update the control point count manually, since
this number must match the number that is passed to the
`drawPatches:...` family of methods.
Fixes#120.
