This checkin adds a --flatten-uniform-arrays option which can break
uniform arrays of samplers, textures, or UBOs up into individual
scalars named (e.g) myarray[0], myarray[1], etc. These appear as
individual linkage objects.
Code notes:
- shouldFlatten internally calls shouldFlattenIO, and shouldFlattenUniform,
but is the only flattening query directly called.
- flattenVariable will handle structs or arrays (but not yet arrayed structs;
this is tested an an error is generated).
- There's some error checking around unhandled situations. E.g, flattening
uniform arrays with initializer lists is not implemented.
- This piggybacks on as much of the existing mechanism for struct flattening
as it can. E.g, it uses the same flattenMap, and the same
flattenAccess() method.
- handleAssign() has been generalized to cope with either structs or arrays.
- Extended test infrastructure to test flattening ability.
This PR adds the ability to offset sampler, texture, and UBO bindings
from provided base bindings, and to auto-number bindings that are not
provided with explicit register numbers. The mechanism works as
follows:
- Offsets may be given on the command line for all stages, or
individually for one or more single stages, in which case the
offset will be auto-selected according to the stage being
compiled. There is also an API to set them. The new command line
options are --shift-sampler-binding, --shift-texture-binding, and
--shift-UBO-binding.
- Uniforms which are not given explicit bindings in the source code
are auto-numbered if and only if they are in live code as
determined by the algorithm used to build the reflection
database, and the --auto-map-bindings option is given. This auto-numbering
avoids using any binding slots which were explicitly provided in
the code, whether or not that explicit use was live. E.g, "uniform
Texture1D foo : register(t3);" with --shift-texture-binding 10 will
reserve binding 13, whether or not foo is used in live code.
- Shorter synonyms for the command line options are available. See
the --help output.
The testing infrastructure is slightly extended to allow use of the
binding offset API, and two new tests spv.register.(no)autoassign.frag are
added for comparing the resulting SPIR-V.
Addresses issue #304 and issue #307 by replacing unmatched type OpStores with
per-member copies. Covers assignment statements and most argument passing, but
does not yet cover r-value-based argument passing.
Takes some pressure off of issue #304.
Structures don't inherit locations and then explicitly decorate
members with them, so removed this reason to have another instance
of a structure type.
Code using atEndOfFile was dead, instead do something useful with
the scanners atEndOfInput(). This allows a better error message
for early termination of cascading errors.
This also enables vecN -> vec1 shape conversions for all places doing shape
conversions.
For signature selection, makes shape changes worse than any other comparison
when deciding what conversions are better than others.
This is part of the change to have desktop shaders respect precision
qualifiers on Vulkan, but since the defaults are all highp, and that's
different from ES fragment shaders, detect likely cases and warn about
them (but being careful to not be too noisy if it's unlikely to be a
problem).
