Fixes#2120
Enhanced the reducer so that it can merge blocks together, leveraging the functionality extracted from the block_merge pass in the optimizer.
During unrolling a new loop is created, but its ownership is not clear
as it gets passed through the code. Changed something to unique_ptr to
make that clearer.
Fixes#2299.
Fixing other memory leaks at the same time.
Fixes#2296Fixes#2297
When processing options in a file, it does have access to the
ValidatorOptions and OptimizerOptions object, so options that change
those do not work. We just need to pass it in.
Fixes#2219.
* Add OperandToUndefReductionPass.
Fixes#2115.
Also added some tests that are similar to those in OperandToConstantReductionPassTest.
In addition, refactor FindOrCreateGlobalUndef into reduction_util.cpp. Fixes#2184.
Removed many documentation comments that were identical or very similar to the overridden function's documentation comment.
Add a spirv-reduce pass which removes OpName and OpMemberName instructions.
This is useful to enable other reduction passes, e.g. RemoveUnreferencedInstruction may not be able to remove an instruction creating an id whose only usage is an OpName for this id.
Upgrade to VulkanKHR memory model
* Converts Logical GLSL450 memory model to Logical VulkanKHR
* Adds extension and capability
* Removes deprecated decorations and replaces them with appropriate
flags on downstream instructions
* Support for Workgroup upgrades
* Support for copy memory
* Adding support for image functions
* Adding barrier upgrades and tests
* Use QueueFamilyKHR scope instead of device
* Added a reduction pass to replace ids with ids of the same type that dominate them.
* Introduce helper method for querying whether an operand type is an input id.
Adds validator option to specify scalar block layout rules.
Both VK_KHR_relax_block_layout and VK_EXT_scalar_block_layout can be
enabled at the same time. But scalar block layout is as permissive
as relax block layout.
Also, scalar block layout does not require padding at the end of a
struct.
Add test for scalar layout testing ArrayStride 12 on array of vec3s
Cleanup: The internal getSize method does not need a round-up argument,
so remove it.
* Validate the id bound.
Validates that the id bound for the module is not larger than the max id
bound. Also adds an option to set the max id bound. Allows the
optimizer option to set the max id bound to also set the id bound for
the validation run done by the optimizer.
Fixes#2030.
Instead of using the source/table.h methods, this CL switches the stats
tool to use the spvtools::Context class and assign the message consumer
through the public API.
* Create a new entry point for the optimizer
Creates a new struct to hold the options for the optimizer, and creates
an entry point that take the optimizer options as a parameter.
The old entry point that takes validator options are now deprecated.
The validator options will be one of the optimizer options.
Part of the optimizer options will also be the upper bound on the id bound.
* Add a command line option to set the max value for the id bound. The default is 0x3FFFFF.
* Modify `TakeNextIdBound` to return 0 when the limit is reached.
This forks the testing harness from https://github.com/google/shaderc
to allow testing CLI tools.
New features needed for SPIRV-Tools include:
1- A new PlaceHolder subclass for spirv shaders. This place holder
calls spirv-as to convert assembly input into SPIRV bytecode. This is
required for most tools in SPIRV-Tools.
2- A minimal testing file for testing basic functionality of spirv-opt.
Add tests for all flags in spirv-opt.
1. Adds tests to check that known flags match the names that each pass
advertises.
2. Adds tests to check that -O, -Os and --legalize-hlsl schedule the
expected passes.
3. Adds more functionality to Expect classes to support regular
expression matching on stderr.
4. Add checks for integer arguments to optimization flags.
5. Fixes#1817 by modifying the parsing of integer arguments in
flags that take them.
6. Fixes -Oconfig file parsing (#1778). It reads every line of the file
into a string and then parses that string by tokenizing every group of
characters between whitespaces (using the standard cin reading
operator). This mimics shell command-line parsing, but it does not
support quoting (and I'm not planning to).
The code in source/message was only used in a single set of tests to
format the output results. This CL changes the test to verify the
message instead of all the error values and removes the source/message
code.
* Run the validator in the optimization fuzzers.
The optimizers assumes that the input to the optimizer is valid. Since
the fuzzers do not check that the input is valid before passing the
spir-v to the optimizer, we are getting a few errors.
The solution is to run the validator in the optimizer to validate the
input.
For the legalization passes, we need to add an extra option to the
validator to accept certain types of variable pointers, even if the
capability is not given. At the same time, we changed the option
"--legalize-hlsl" to relax the validator in the same way instead of
turning it off.
* Combines OpAccessChain, OpInBoundsAccessChain, OpPtrAccessChain and
OpInBoundsPtrAccessChain
* New folding rule to fold add with 0 for integers
* Converts to a bitcast if the result type does not match the operand
type
V
This re-implements the -Oconfig=<file> flag to use a new API that takes
a list of command-line flags representing optimization passes.
This moves the processing of flags that create new optimization passes
out of spirv-opt and into the library API. Useful for other tools that
want to incorporate a facility similar to -Oconfig.
The main changes are:
1- Add a new public function Optimizer::RegisterPassesFromFlags. This
takes a vector of strings. Each string is assumed to have the form
'--pass_name[=pass_args]'. It creates and registers into the pass
manager all the passes specified in the vector. Each pass is
validated internally. Failure to create a pass instance causes the
function to return false and a diagnostic is emitted to the
registered message consumer.
2- Re-implements -Oconfig in spirv-opt to use the new API.
Currently the utils/ folder uses both spvutils:: and spvtools::utils.
This CL changes the namespace to consistenly be spvtools::utils to match
the rest of the codebase.
Fixes#937
Stop std140/430 validation when runtime array is encountered.
Check for standard uniform/storage buffer layout instead of std140/430.
Added validator command line switch to skip block layout checking.
Validate structs decorated as Block/BufferBlock only when they
are used as variable with storage class of uniform or push
constant.
Expose --relax-block-layout to command line.
dneto0 modification:
- Use integer arithmetic instead of floor.
Add SPV_ENV_WEBGPU_0 for work-in-progress WebGPU.
val: Disallow OpUndef in WebGPU env
Silence unused variable warnings when !defined(SPIRV_EFFCE)
Limit visibility of validate_instruction.cpp's symbols
Only InstructionPass needs to be visible so all other functions are put
in an anonymous namespace inside the libspirv namespace.
[val] Add extra context to error messages.
This CL extends the error messages produced by the validator to output the
disassembly of the errored line.
The validation_id messages have also been updated to print the line number of
the error instead of the word number. Note, the error number is from the start
of the SPIR-V, it does not include any headers printed in the disassembled code.
Fixes#670, #1581
Removes the limit on scalar replacement for the lagalization passes.
This is done by adding an option to the pass (and command line option)
to set the limit on maximum size of the composite that scalar
replacement is willing to divide.
Fixes#1494.
We have already disabled common uniform elimination because it created
sequences of loads an entire uniform object, then we extract just a
single element. This caused problems in some drivers, and is just
generally slow because it loads more memory than needed.
However, there are other way to get into this situation, so I've added
a pass that looks specifically for this pattern and removes it when only
a portion of the load is used.
Fixes#1547.
This pass will look for adjacent loops that are compatible and legal to
be fused.
Loops are compatible if:
- they both have one induction variable
- they have the same upper and lower bounds
- same initial value
- same condition
- they have the same update step
- they are adjacent
- there are no break/continue in either of them
Fusion is legal if:
- fused loops do not have any dependencies with dependence distance
greater than 0 that did not exist in the original loops.
- there are no function calls in the loops (could have side-effects)
- there are no barriers in the loops
It will fuse all such loops as long as the number of registers used for
the fused loop stays under the threshold defined by
max_registers_per_loop.
Adds support for spliting loops whose register pressure exceeds a user
provided level. This pass will split a loop into two or more loops given
that the loop is a top level loop and that spliting the loop is legal.
Control flow is left intact for dead code elimination to remove.
This pass is enabled with the --loop-fission flag to spirv-opt.
Introduce a pass that does a DCE type analysis for vector elements
instead of the whole vector as a single element.
It will then rewrite instructions that are not used with something else.
For example, an instruction whose value are not used, even though it is
referenced, is replaced with an OpUndef.
For each loop in a function, the pass walks the loops from inner to outer most loop
and tries to peel loop for which a certain amount of iteration can be done before or after the loop.
To limit code growth, peeling will not happen if the growth in code size goes above a configurable threshold.
The sprir-v generated from HLSL code contain many copyies of very large
arrays. Not only are these time consumming, but they also cause
problems for drivers because they require too much space.
To work around this, we will implement an array copy propagation. Note
that we will not implement a complete array data flow analysis in order
to implement this. We will be looking for very simple cases:
1) The source must never be stored to.
2) The target must be stored to exactly once.
3) The store to the target must be a store to the entire array, and be a
copy of the entire source.
4) All loads of the target must be dominated by the store.
The hard part is keeping all of the types correct. We do not want to
have to do too large a search to update everything, which may not be
possible, do we give up if we see any instruction that might be hard to
update.
Also in types.h, the element decorations are not stored in an std::map.
This change was done so the hashing algorithm for a Struct is
consistent. With the std::unordered_map, the traversal order was
non-deterministic leading to the same type getting hashed to different
values. See |Struct::GetExtraHashWords|.
Contributes to #1416.
This patch adds a new option --time-report to spirv-opt. For each pass
executed by spirv-opt, the flag prints resource utilization for the pass
(CPU time, wall time, RSS and page faults)
This fixes issue #1378
This pass replaces the load/store elimination passes. It implements the
SSA re-writing algorithm proposed in
Simple and Efficient Construction of Static Single Assignment Form.

In contrast to common eager algorithms based on dominance and dominance
frontier information, this algorithm works backwards from load operations.
When a target variable is loaded, it queries the variable's reaching
definition. If the reaching definition is unknown at the current location,
it searches backwards in the CFG, inserting Phi instructions at join points
in the CFG along the way until it finds the desired store instruction.
The algorithm avoids repeated lookups using memoization.
For reducible CFGs, which are a superset of the structured CFGs in SPIRV,
this algorithm is proven to produce minimal SSA. That is, it inserts the
minimal number of Phi instructions required to ensure the SSA property, but
some Phi instructions may be dead
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form).
We are seeing shaders that have multiple returns in a functions. These
functions must get inlined for legalization purposes; however, the
inliner does not know how to inline functions that have multiple
returns.
The solution we will go with it to improve the merge return pass to
handle structured control flow.
Note that the merge return pass will assume the cfg has been cleanedup
by dead branch elimination.
Fixes#857.
Strips reflection info. This is limited to decorations and
decoration instructions related to the SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1
extension.
It will remove the OpExtension for SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1.
It will also remove the OpExtension for SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string
if there are no further remaining uses of OpDecorateStringGOOGLE.
Fixes https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/1398
The default target is SPIR-V 1.3.
For example, spirv-as will generate a SPIR-V 1.3 binary by default.
Use command line option "--target-env spv1.0" if you want to make a SPIR-V
1.0 binary or validate against SPIR-V 1.0 rules.
Example:
# Generate a SPIR-V 1.0 binary instead of SPIR-V 1.3
spirv-as --target-env spv1.0 a.spvasm -o a.spv
spirv-as --target-env vulkan1.0 a.spvasm -o a.spv
# Validate as SPIR-V 1.0.
spirv-val --target-env spv1.0 a.spv
# Validate as Vulkan 1.0
spirv-val --target-env vulkan1.0 a.spv
Use indirection through latest_version_spirv.h
Also, when generating enum tables, use the unified1 JSON grammar since
it now has FragmentFullyCoveredEXT but the other JSON grammars don't.
They are starting to fall behind.
It moves all conditional branching and switch whose conditions are loop
invariant and uniform. Before performing the loop unswitch we check that
the loop does not contain any instruction that would prevent it
(barriers, group instructions etc.).
This patch adds initial support for loop unrolling in the form of a
series of utility classes which perform the unrolling. The pass can
be run with the command spirv-opt --loop-unroll. This will unroll
loops within the module which have the unroll hint set. The unroller
imposes a number of requirements on the loops it can unroll. These are
documented in the comments for the LoopUtils::CanPerformUnroll method in
loop_utils.h. Some of the restrictions will be lifted in future patches.
Implementation of the simplification pass.
- Create pass that calls the instruction folder on each instruction and
propagate instructions that fold to a copy. This will do copy
propagation as well.
- Did not use the propagator engine because I want to modify the instruction
as we go along.
- Change folding to not allocate new instructions, but make changes in
place. This change had a big impact on compile time.
- Add simplification pass to the legalization passes in place of
insert-extract elimination.
- Added test cases for new folding rules.
- Added tests for the simplification pass
- Added a method to the CFG to apply a function to the basic blocks in
reverse post order.
Contributes to #1164.
Creates a pass that will remove instructions that are invalid for the
current shader stage. For the instruction to be considered for replacement
1) The opcode must be valid for a shader modules.
2) The opcode must be invalid for the current shader stage.
3) All entry points to the module must be for the same shader stage.
4) The function containing the instruction must be reachable from an entry point.
Fixes#1247.
* Handles simple cases only
* Identifies phis in blocks with two predecessors and attempts to
convert the phi to an select
* does not perform code motion currently so the converted values must
dominate the join point (e.g. can't be defined in the branches)
* limited for now to two predecessors, but can be extended to handle
more cases
* Adding if conversion to -O and -Os
We have come across a driver bug where and OpUnreachable inside a loop
is causing the shader to go into an infinite loop. This commit will try
to avoid this bug by turning OpUnreachable instructions that are
contained in a loop into branches to the loop merge block.
This is not added to "-O" and "-Os" because it should only be used if
the driver being targeted has this problem.
Fixes#1209.
In HLSL structured buffer legalization, pointer to pointer types
are emitted to indicate a structured buffer variable should be
treated as an alias of some other variable. We need an option to
relax the check of pointer types in logical addressing mode to
catch other validation errors.
Turn `Linker::Link()` into free functions
As very little information was kept in the Linker class, we can get rid
of the whole class and have the `Link()` as free functions instead; the
environment target as well as the consumer are passed along through an
`spv_context` object.
The resulting linked_binary is passed as a pointer rather than a
reference to follow the Google C++ Style guidelines.
Addresses remaining comments from
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/pull/693 about the SPIR-V
linker.
Fix variable naming in the linker
Some of the variables were using mixed case, which did not follow the
Google C++ Style guidelines.
Linker: Use EXPECT_EQ when possible and update some test
* Replace occurrences of ASSERT_EQ by EXPECT_EQ when possible;
* Reformulated some of the error messages;
* Added the symbol name in the error message when there is a type or
decoration mismatch between the imported and exported declarations.
Opt: List all duplicates removed by RemoveDuplicatePass in the header
Opt: Make the const version of GetLabelInst() return a pointer
For consistency with the non-const version, as well as other similar
functions.
Opt: Rename function_end to EndInst()
As pointed out by dneto0 the previous name was quite confusing and could
be mistaken with a function returning an end iterator.
Also change the return type of the const version to a pointer rather
than a reference, for consistency.
Opt: Add performance comment to RemoveDuplicateTypes and decorations
This comment was requested during the review of
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/pull/693.
Opt: Add comments and fix variable naming in RemoveDuplicatePass
* Add missing comments to private functions;
* Rename variables that were using mixed case;
* Add TODO for moving AreTypesEqual out.
Linker: Remove commented out code and add TODOs
Linker: Merged together strings that were too much splitted
Implement a C++ RAII wrapper around spv_context
Adds optimizer API to write disassembly to a given output stream
before each pass, and after the last pass.
Adds spirv-opt --print-all option to write disassembly to stderr
before each pass, and after the last pass.
This implements the conditional constant propagation pass proposed in
Constant propagation with conditional branches,
Wegman and Zadeck, ACM TOPLAS 13(2):181-210.
The main logic resides in CCPPass::VisitInstruction. Instruction that
may produce a constant value are evaluated with the constant folder. If
they produce a new constant, the instruction is considered interesting.
Otherwise, it's considered varying (for unfoldable instructions) or
just not interesting (when not enough operands have a constant value).
The other main piece of logic is in CCPPass::VisitBranch. This
evaluates the selector of the branch. When it's found to be a known
value, it computes the destination basic block and sets it. This tells
the propagator which branches to follow.
The patch required extensions to the constant manager as well. Instead
of hashing the Constant pointers, this patch changes the constant pool
to hash the contents of the Constant. This allows the lookups to be
done using the actual values of the Constant, preventing duplicate
definitions.
* changed the way duplicate types are removed to stop copying
instructions
* Reworked RemoveDuplicatesPass::AreTypesSame to use type manager and
type equality
* Reworked TypeManager memory management to store a pool of unique
pointers of types
* removed unique pointers from id map
* fixed instances where free'd memory could be accessed
Changes the set of optimizations done for legalization. While doing
this, I added documentation to explain why we want each optimization.
A new option "--legalize-hlsl" is added so the legalization passes can
be easily run from the command line.
The legalize option implies skip-validation.
When a private variable is used in a single function, it can be
converted to a function scope variable in that function. This adds a
pass that does that. The pass can be enabled using the option
`--private-to-local`.
This transformation allows other transformations to act on these
variables.
Also moved `FindPointerToType` from the inline class to the type manager.
Adds a scalar replacement pass. The pass considers all function scope
variables of composite type. If there are accesses to individual
elements (and it is legal) the pass replaces the variable with a
variable for each composite element and updates all the uses.
Added the pass to -O
Added NumUses and NumUsers to DefUseManager
Added some helper methods for the inst to block mapping in context
Added some helper methods for specific constant types
No longer generate duplicate pointer types.
* Now searches for an existing pointer of the appropriate type instead
of failing validation
* Fixed spec constant extracts
* Addressed changes for review
* Changed RunSinglePassAndMatch to be able to run validation
* current users do not enable it
Added handling of acceptable decorations.
* Decorations are also transfered where appropriate
Refactored extension checking into FeatureManager
* Context now owns a feature manager
* consciously NOT an analysis
* added some test
* fixed some minor issues related to decorates
* added some decorate related tests for scalar replacement
The option --skip-validation is added. When used it will skip the
validation step.
Also rearranged the help text to fix two options that are out of order.
Adds a pass that looks for redundant instruction in a function, and
removes them. The algorithm is a hash table based value numbering
algorithm that traverses the dominator tree.
This pass removes completely redundant instructions, not partially
redundant ones.
Creates a pass that removes redundant instructions within the same basic
block. This will be implemented using a hash based value numbering
algorithm.
Added a number of functions that check for the Vulkan descriptor types.
These are used to determine if we are variables are read-only or not.
Implemented a function to check if loads and variables are read-only.
Implemented kernel specific and shader specific versions.
A big change is that the Combinator analysis in ADCE is factored out
into the IRContext as an analysis. This was done because it is being
reused in the value number table.
Add new "short descriptor" algorithm to MARK-V codec.
Add three shader compression models:
lite - fast, poor compression
mid - balanced
max - best compression
Works with current DefUseManager infrastructure.
Added merge return to the standard opts.
Added validation to passes.
Disabled pass for shader capabilty.
NFC. This just makes sure every file is formatted following the
formatting definition in .clang-format.
Re-formatted with:
$ clang-format -i $(find source tools include -name '*.cpp')
$ clang-format -i $(find source tools include -name '*.h')
There are a number of users of spriv-opt that are hitting errors
because of stores with different types. In general, this is wrong, but,
in these cases, the types are the exact same except for decorations.
The options is "--relax-store-struct", and it can be used with the
validator or the optimizer.
We assume that if layout information is missing it is consistent. For
example if one struct has a offset of one of its members, and the other
one does not, we will still consider them as being layout compatible.
The problem will be if both struct has and offset decoration for
corresponding members, and the offset are different.
Markv codec now receives two optional callbacks:
LogConsumer for internal codec logging
DebugConsumer for testing if encoding->decoding produces the original
results.
There does not seem to be any pass that remove global variables. I
think we could use one. This pass will look specifically for global
variables that are not referenced and are not exported. Any decoration
associated with the variable will also be removed. However, this could
cause types or constants to become unreferenced. They will not be
removed. Another pass will have to be called to remove those.
- Adds a new pass CFGCleanupPass. This serves as an umbrella pass to
remove unnecessary cruft from a CFG.
- Currently, the only cleanup operation done is the removal of
unreachable basic blocks.
- Adds unit tests.
- Adds a flag to spirvopt to execute the pass (--cfg-cleanup).
- switched from C to C++
- moved MARK-V model creation from backend to frontend
- The same MARK-V model object can be used to encode/decode multiple
files
- Added MARK-V model factory (currently only one option)
- Added --validate option to spirv-markv (run validation while
encoding/decoding)
These flags are expanded to a series of spirv-opt flags with the
following semantics:
-O: expands to passes that attempt to improve the performance of the
generated code.
-Os: expands to passes that attempt to reduce the size of the generated
code.
-Oconfig=<file> expands to the sequence of passes determined by the
flags specified in the user-provided file.
Add extra iterators for ir::Module's sections

Error out if different addressing or memory models are found
Exit early if no binaries were given
Error out if entry points are redeclared
Implement copy ctors for Function and BasicBlock
- Visual Studio ends up generating copy constructors that call deleted
functions while compiling the linker code, while GCC and clang do not.
So explicitly write those functions to avoid Visual Studio messing up.

Update README.md to talk about the linker
Do not freak out if an imported built-in variable has no export
Creates a pass called eliminate dead functions that looks for functions
that could never be called, and deletes them from the module.
To support this change a new function was added to the Pass class to
traverse the call trees from diffent starting points.
Includes a test to ensure that annotations are removed when deleting a
dead function. They were not, so fixed that up as well.
Did some cleanup of the assembly for the test in pass_test.cpp. Trying
to make them smaller and easier to read.
- now includes a table of all descriptors with coding scheme
(improves performance by 5% by allowing to avoid creation of
move-to-front sequences which will never be used)
- increased the size of markv_autogen.inc, clang doesn't seem
to have the long compilation time problem now
(probably was inadvertently fixed by using Huffman codec
serialization)
Create a new optimization pass, strength reduction, which will replace
integer multiplication by a constant power of 2 with an equivalent bit
shift. More changes could be added later.
- Does not duplicate constants
- Adds vector |Concat| utility function to a common test header.
Includes:
- Multi-sequence move-to-front
- Coding by id descriptor
- Statistical coding of non-id words
- Joint coding of opcode and num_operands
Removed explicit form Huffman codec constructor
- The standard use case for it is to be constructed from initializer list.
Using serialization for Huffman codecs
Only inline calls to functions with opaque params or return
TODO: Handle parameter type or return type where the opqaue
type is buried within an array.
Id descriptors are computed as a recursive hash of all instructions used
to define an id. Descriptors are invarint of actual id values and
the similar code in different files would produce the same descriptors.
Multiple ids can have the same descriptor. For example
%1 = OpConstant %u32 1
%2 = OpConstant %u32 1
would produce two ids with the same descriptor. But
%3 = OpConstant %s32 1
%4 = OpConstant %u32 2
would have descriptors different from %1 and %2.
Descriptors will be used as handles of move-to-front sequences in SPIR-V
compression.
- UniformElim: Only process reachable blocks
- UniformElim: Don't reuse loads of samplers and images across blocks.
Added a second phase which only reuses loads within a block for samplers
and images.
- UniformElim: Upgrade CopyObject skipping in GetPtr
- UniformElim: Add extensions whitelist
Currently disallowing SPV_KHR_variable_pointers because it doesn't
handle extended pointer forms.
- UniformElim: Do not process shaders with GroupDecorate
- UniformElim: Bail on shaders with non-32-bit ints.
- UniformElim: Document support for only single index and add TODO.
Create aggressive dead code elimination pass
This pass eliminates unused code from functions. In addition,
it detects and eliminates code which may have spurious uses but which do
not contribute to the output of the function. The most common cause of
such code sequences is summations in loops whose result is no longer used
due to dead code elimination. This optimization has additional compile
time cost over standard dead code elimination.
This pass only processes entry point functions. It also only processes
shaders with logical addressing. It currently will not process functions
with function calls. It currently only supports the GLSL.std.450 extended
instruction set. It currently does not support any extensions.
This pass will be made more effective by first running passes that remove
dead control flow and inlines function calls.
This pass can be especially useful after running Local Access Chain
Conversion, which tends to cause cycles of dead code to be left after
Store/Load elimination passes are completed. These cycles cannot be
eliminated with standard dead code elimination.
Additionally: This transform uses a whitelist of instructions that it
knows do have side effects, (a.k.a. combinators). It assumes other
instructions have side effects: it will not remove them, and assumes
they have side effects via their ID operands.
A SSA local variable load/store elimination pass.
For every entry point function, eliminate all loads and stores of function
scope variables only referenced with non-access-chain loads and stores.
Eliminate the variables as well.
The presence of access chain references and function calls can inhibit
the above optimization.
Only shader modules with logical addressing are currently processed.
Currently modules with any extensions enabled are not processed. This
is left for future work.
This pass is most effective if preceeded by Inlining and
LocalAccessChainConvert. LocalSingleStoreElim and LocalSingleBlockElim
will reduce the work that this pass has to do.
If this is used as a static library in another project, this does not
need to be installed, and otherwise will just clutter the application's install.

At the moment only very basic compression is implemented, mostly varint.
Scope of supported SPIR-V opcodes is also limited.
Using a simple move-to-front implementation instead of encoding mapped
ids.
Work in progress:
- Does not cover all of SPIR-V
- Does not promise compatibility of compression/decompression across
different versions of the code.
Added data structure to SpirvStats which is used to collect statistics
on opcodes following other opcodes.
Added a simple analysis print-out to spirv-stats.
Add --flatten-decorations to spirv-opt
Flattens decoration groups. That is, replace OpDecorationGroup
and its uses in OpGroupDecorate and OpGroupMemberDecorate with
ordinary OpDecorate and OpMemberDecorate instructions.
Fixes https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/602
Exercises our public APIs more, and avoid including most
internal headers. It also shortens the processing part
of the code, but does make adding passes look more complex.
Doing this exposed issue 611, a bug in spvtools::Optimizer.
Autogenerating the following code:
- extension enum
- extension-to-string
- string-to-extension
- capability-to-string
Capability mapping table will not compile if incomplete.
TODO: Use "spirv-latest-version.h" instead of 1.1.
Added function to generate capability tables for tests.
The limit for the number of struct members is parameterized using
command line options.
Add --max-struct-depth command line option.
Add --max-switch-branches command line option.
Add --max-function-args command line option.
Add --max-control-flow-nesting-depth option.
Add --max-access-chain-indexes option.
Default-constructed Pass/PassManager will have a MessageConsumer
which ignores all messages. SetMessageConsumer() should be called
to supply a meaningful MessageConsumer.
