Focus was on the front end (not SPIR-V), minus the grammar.
Reduces #ifdef count by around 320 and makes the web build 270K smaller,
which is about 90% the target size.
The grammar and scanner will be another step, as will the SPIR-V backend.
This makes heavy use of methods #ifdef'd to return false as a global way
of turning off code, relying on C++ DCE to do the rest.
In decomposeIntrinsic a new TString was being allocated and passed into
a TVariable. That string was leaking. This CL converts the new TString
to call NewPoolTString to allocate from the TString pool.
Adjusted a test not to use c register for
a structured buffer, they are supposed to
use t registers
Added comments with hints for what are the
register types are used for.
If the out variable is a struct type, with a xfb_offset explicitly
assigned, the members need to get their xfb_offset assigned. This is
specially relevant, as we cannot use layout qualifiers on struct
members.
Previously, casting an object of a struct type to an identical type
would produce an error. This PR allows this case.
As a side-effect of the change, several self-type casts in existing
tests go away. For example:
0:10 Construct float ( temp float)
0:10 'f' ( in float)
becomes this (without the unneeded constructor op):
0:10 'f' ( in float)
For vector or array types this can result in somewhat less overall code.
Fixes: #1218
SPIR-V requires the coverage mask to be an array of integers, but HLSL
allows scalar integers. This adds the requisite type conversion and
wrapped entry point handling.
Fixes: #1202
This PR forces the external definition of SV_GroupID variables to 3-vectors.
The conversion process between the shader-declared type and the external type
happens in wrapped main IO variable conversion.
The same applies to SV_DispatchThreadID and SV_GroupThreadID.
Fixes: #1371
Append() method is special: unlike most outputs, it does not copy
some temporary data to a symbol in the entry point epilogue, but
rather uses an emit builtin after each write to the output stream.
This had been handled by remembering the special output symbol for
the stream as it was declared in the shader entry point before
symbol sanitization. However the prior code was too simple and
only handled cases where the Append() method happened after the
entry point, so that the output symbol had been seen.
This PR adds a patching step so that the Append()s may appear in
any order WRT the entry point. They are patched in an epilogue,
whereupon it is guaranteed in a well formed shader that we have
seen the appropriate declaration.
Fixes#1217.
