Revision history for SPIRV-Tools
v2018.3-dev 2018-03-07
- Start v2018.3 development
v2018.2 2018-03-07
- General:
- Support SPIR-V 1.3 and Vulkan 1.1.
- Default target environment is now SPIR-V 1.3. For command-line tools,
use the --target-env option to override the default. Examples:
# 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 Vulkan 1.0
spirv-val --target-env vulkan1.0 a.spv
- Support SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string and SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1
- Fixes:
- Fix Android.mk build. Compilation was failing due to missing definitions of
SpvCapabilityFloat16ImageAMD and other enumerated values.
- Optimizer: Avoid generating duplicate names when merging types.
- #1375: Validator: SPV_AMD_gpu_shaer_half_float implicitly allows declaration
of the 16-bit floating point type.
- #1376: Optimizer: Avoid folding half-precision float.
v2018.1 2018-03-02

- Support building SPIRV-Tools as a shared library.
- Improve the HLSL legalization optimization recipe. #1311
- Optimizer:
- General speedups.
- Remove generic dead code elimination functionality from transforms:
--eliminate-local-single-block
--eliminate-local-single-store
--eliminate-local-multi-store
To recover the previous behaviour, a recipe using those transforms should now
also invoke the --eliminate-dead-code-aggressive transform.

with non-trivial constant operands.
- Add loop-invariant code motion pass.
- Add loop-unrolling pass, for honouring unroll hits.
- Add loop-unswitch pass.

instructions it can eliminate (combinators). (PR #1268)

- Validator:
- Validate barrier instructions.
- Check Vulkan-specific rules for atomics.
- Check Vulkan prohibition of Location or Component decorations on BuiltIn variables.
- Linker:
- Add --verify-ids option
- Add option to allow a resulting module to be partially linked.
- Handle OpModuleProcessed (instructions in SPIR-V layout section 7c)
- Fixes:
- #1265: Optimizer: Fix use-after free bug in if-conversion. (Fix object lifecycle bug
in type manager.)
- #1282: Fix new warnings found by GCC 8.0.1.
- #1285: Optimizer: Fix random failures during inlining. (Dangling references in DefUseManager)

VectorShuffle, and GLSL.std.450 Mix extended instruction.

Fixes #1112.

cases of pointer-to-pointer. Contributes to HLSL legalization (issue #1118).
- Fixes:
#1100: Validator: Image operand Sample can be used with OpImageSparseFetch,
OpImageSparseRead.
