David Neto 76555bd4ba Tests: Add optional dependency on Effcee stateful matcher
Add Effcee as an optional dependency for use in tests.  In future it will
be a required dependency.

Effcee is a stateful pattern matcher that has much of the functionality
of LLVM's FileCheck, except in library form.  Effcee makes it much easier
to write tests for optimization passes.

Demonstrate its use in a test for the strength-reduction pass.

Update README.md with example commands of how to get sources.

Update Appveyor and Travis-CI build rules.

Also: Include test libraries if not SPIRV_SKIP_TESTS
- SPIRV_SKIP_TESTS is implied by SPIRV_SKIP_EXECUTABLES

Revision history for SPIRV-Tools
v2017.1-dev 2017-09-01
- Update README with details on the public_spirv_tools_dev@khronos.org mailing list.
- General:
- Add the 'effcee' library as an optional dependency for use in tests.
Eventually it will be a required dependency, once downstream projects have
a chance to adjust.
- Avoid static-duration variables of class type (with constructors).
- Validator:
- Type check basic arithmetic operations
- Type check Relational and Logical instructions
- Type check Bit instructions
- OpModuleProcessed is only allowed after debug names section and before annotations
section.
- Recognize extensions listed on SPIR-V registry,
through #25 SPV_AMD_shader_fragment_mask
- Optimizer:
- Add eliminater-dead-function transform
- Add strength reduction transform: For now, convert multiply by power of 2
to a bit shift.
- Extract-insert elimination: Recognize the case where the first instruction
in the sequence is an OpCompositeConstruct or OpConstantComposite
- Fixes:
#798: spirv-as should fail when given unrecognized long option
#800: Inliner: Fix inlining function into header of multi-block loop
#824: Eliminate-local-multi-store: Fix a crash
#826: Elimiante-local-multi-store: Fix a crash
#827: Fix crash when compact-ids transform runs before another transform.
#834: Add Cmake option to build the compressing codec. Off by default.

assembly syntax file for Vim.
- Version string: Allow overriding of wall clock timestamp with contents
of environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
- Validator implements relaxed rules for SPV_KHR_16bit_storage.
- CMake installation rules use GNUInstallDirs. For example, libraries
will be installed into a lib64 directory if that's the norm for the
current system.
- Fixes:
#500: Parameterize validator limit checks
#508: Support compilation under CYGWIN
#517: Fix validation when continue (or case) contstruct is also the head of a
nested control construct.

are used.
#611: spvtools::Optimizer was failing to save the module to the output
binary vector when all passes succeded without changes.

structured code when the inlined function had early returns.

and scope-id.

the end of the function.
#776: Fix dead branch elimination in presence of complex but dead control
flow.
#781: SPV_KHR_variable_pointers allows duplicate pointer types
#782: Inliner: Fix remapping of non-label forward references in callee
#787: Inliner: Fix remapping of inlined entry block when called from

multiple returns.
