De-duplicate constants and unifies the uses of constants for a SPIR-V
module. If two constants are defined exactly the same, only one of them
will be kept and all the uses of the removed constant will be redirected
to the kept one.
This pass handles normal constants (defined with
OpConstant{|True|False|Composite}), some spec constants (those defined
with OpSpecConstant{Op|Composite}) and null constants (defined with
OpConstantNull).
There are several cases not handled by this pass:
1) If there are decorations for the result id of a constant defining
instruction, that instruction will not be processed. This means the
instruction won't be used to replace other instructions and other
instructions won't be used to replace it either.
2) This pass does not unify null constants (defined with
OpConstantNull instruction) with their equivalent zero-valued normal
constants (defined with OpConstant{|False|Composite} with zero as the
operand values or component values).
For the spec constants defined by OpSpecConstantOp and
OpSpecContantComposite, if all of their operands are constants with
determined values (normal constants whose values are fixed), calculate
the correct values of the spec constants and re-define them as normal
constants.
In short, this pass replaces all the spec constants defined by
OpSpecContantOp and OpSpecConstantComposite with normal constants when
possible. So far not all valid operations of OpSpecConstantOp are
supported, we have several constriction here:
1) Only 32-bit integer and boolean (both scalar and vector) are
supported for any arithmetic operations. Integers in other width (like
64-bit) are not supported.
2) OpSConvert, OpFConvert, OpQuantizeToF16, and all the
operations under Kernel capability, are not supported.
3) OpCompositeInsert is not supported.
Note that this pass does not unify normal constants. This means it is
possible to have new generatd constants defining the same values.
AssemblyBuilder contains boilplates.
Adds OpName instructions for all added defining instructions.
Adds OpDecorate SpecId for all spec constants added with OpSpecConstant,
OpSpecConstantTrue and OpSpecConstantFalse instructions.
Add a pass to freeze spec constants to their default values. This pass does
not fold the frozen spec constants and does not handle SpecConstantOp
instructions and SpecConstantComposite instructions.
