The management of equation facts suffered from two problems:
(1) The processing of an equation fact required the data descriptors
used in the equation to be in canonical form. However, during
fact processing it can be deduced that certain data descriptors
are equivalent, causing their equivalence classes to be merged,
and that could cause previously canonical data descriptors to no
longer be canonical.
(2) Related to this, if id equations were known about a canonical data
descriptor dd1, and other id equations known about a different
canonical data descriptor dd2, the equation facts about these data
descriptors were not being merged in the event that dd1 and dd2
were deduced to be equivalent.
This changes solves (1) by not requiring equation facts to be in
canonical form while processing them, but instead always checking
whether (not necessary canonical) data descriptors are equivalent when
looking for corollaries of equation facts, rather than comparing them
using ==.
Problem (2) is solved by adding logic to merge sets of equations when
data descriptors are made equivalent.
In addition, the change also requires elements to be registered in an
equivalence relation before they can be made equivalent, rather than
being added (if not already present) at the point of being made
equivalent.
Some transformations (e.g. TransformationAddFunction) rely on running
the validator to decide whether the transformation is applicable. A
recent change allowed spirv-fuzz to take validator options, to cater
for the case where a module should be considered valid under
particular conditions. However, validation during the checking of
transformations had no access to these validator options.
This change introduced TransformationContext, which currently consists
of a fact manager and a set of validator options, but could in the
future have other fields corresponding to other objects that it is
useful to have access to when applying transformations. Now, instead
of checking and applying transformations in the context of a
FactManager, a TransformationContext is used. This gives access to
the fact manager as before, and also access to the validator options
when they are needed.
This introduces a new fuzzer pass to add instructions to the module
that define equations, and support in the fact manager for recording
equation facts and deducing synonym facts from equation facts.
Initially the only equations that are supported involve OpIAdd,
OpISub, OpSNegate and OpLogicalNot, but there is scope for adding
support for equations over various other operators.
