Lays the groundwork for fixing issue #954.
Partial flattenings were previously tracked through a stack of active subsets
in the parse context, but full functionality needs AST nodes to represent
this across time, removing the need for parsecontext tracking.
This adds infrastructure suitable for any front end to create SPIR-V loop
control flags. The only current front end doing so is HLSL.
[unroll] turns into spv::LoopControlUnrollMask
[loop] turns into spv::LoopControlDontUnrollMask
no specification means spv::LoopControlMaskNone
This is WIP, heavy on the IP part. There's not yet enough to use in real workloads.
Currently present:
* Creation of separate counter buffers for structured buffer types needing them.
* IncrementCounter / DecrementCounter methods
* Postprocess to remove unused counter buffers from linkage
* Associated counter buffers are given @count suffix (invalid as a user identifier)
Not yet present:
* reflection queries to obtain bindings for counter buffers
* Append/Consume buffers
* Ability to use SB references passed as fn parameters
Improves foundation for adding scalar casts.
Makes handle/make names more sane, better commented, uses more
precise subclass typing, and removes mutual recursion between
converting initializer lists and making constructors.
Previously, patch constant functions only accepted OutputPatch. This
adds InputPatch support, via a pseudo-builtin variable type, so that
the patch can be tracked clear through from the qualifier.
The prior implementation of GS did not work with the new EP wrapping architecture.
This fixes it: the Append() method now looks up the actual output rather
than the internal sanitized temporary type, and writes to that.
Unknown how extensive the semantics need to be yet. Need real
feedback from workloads. This is just done as part of unifying it
with the class/struct namespaces and grammar productions.
It would have been possible for globally scoped user functions to collide
with builtin method names. This adds a prefix to avoid polluting the
namespace.
Ideally this would be an invalid character to use in user identifiers, but
as that requires changing the scanner, for the moment it's an unlikely yet
valid prefix.
Also use this to move deferred member-function-body parsing to a better
place.
This should also be well poised for implementing the 'namespace' keyword.
This is needed for accessing types/variables within a member function body that are
not known until after the struct is finished being declared. However, that funtionality
is not yet present, this is just the deferred processing, which is working for
static member functions.
