Enhance buffer load specialization pass to specialize past field extracts. (#8547)

2025-10-01T02:08:23+00:00

This allows us to specialize functions whose argument is a sub element of a constant buffer, instead of being only applicable to entire buffer element. Closes #8421. This change also implements a proper heuristic to determine when to specialize the calls and defer the buffer loads. This PR addresses a pathological case exposed in `slangpy\slangpy\benchmarks\test_benchmark_tensor.py`, which used to take 27ms to finish, and now takes 1.25ms. For example, given: ``` struct Bottom { float bigArray[1024]; [mutating] void setVal(int index, float value) { bigArray[index] = value; } } struct Root { Bottom top[2]; [mutating] void setTopVal(int x, int y, float value) { top[x].setVal(y, value); } } RWStructuredBuffer sb; [shader("compute")] [numthreads(1, 1, 1)] void compute_main(uint3 tid: SV_DispatchThreadID) { sb[0].setTopVal(1, 2, 100.0f); } ``` We are now able to specialize the call to `setTopVal` into: ``` void compute_main(uint3 tid: SV_DispatchThreadID) { setTopVal_specialized(0, 1, 2, 100.0f); } void setTopVal_specialized(int sbIdx, int x, int y, float value) { Bottom_setVal_specialized(sbIdx, x, y, value); } void Bottom_setVal_specialized(int sbIdx, int x, int y, float value) { sb[sbIdx].top[x].bigArray[y] = value; } ``` And get rid of all unnecessary loads. Achieving this requires a combination of function call specialization and buffer-load-defer pass. The buffer-load-defer pass has been completely rewritten to be more correct and avoid introducing redundant loads. This PR also adds tests to make sure pointers, bindless handles, and loads from structured buffer or constant buffers works as expected.

Initial copy elision pass (#8042)

2025-08-07T07:22:22+00:00

Fixes #7574 Changes: * Add an initial (fairly simple) optimization pass which is able to eliminate redundant copies. * Our current existing optimizer passes remove redundant load/store very robustly, this pass will focus on other cases of copy elimination * Primary approach is to make all functions which are `in T` and `T` is trivial to copy into a `__constref T`. We then (depending on scenario) manually insert a variable+load if a pass-by-reference is not possible; otherwise we pass by `constref`. * Added optimizations to eliminate redundant code which causes `constref` to fail to compile --------- Co-authored-by: Harsh Aggarwal Co-authored-by: Claude Co-authored-by: slangbot Co-authored-by: slangbot <186143334+slangbot@users.noreply.github.com>

Implement 8.14-8.19 of OpenGL-GLSL specification

2024-04-03T13:30:46+00:00

The following PR implements 8.14-8.19 of the [OpenGL-GLSL specification](https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/gl/GLSLangSpec.4.60.pdf). Fully implements all functions and built-in type's, resolves https://github.com/shader-slang/slang/issues/3692 for GLSL & SPRI-V targets. _Notes:_ Testing Tools: * Fragment shaders cannot test computational results. Only OpCodes are checked for proper emitting. Implementation Notes: * SubpassInput requires an unknown image format. * SubpassInput is disjoint from TextureType: __SubpassImpl (.slang) & SubpassInputType (Compiler) to reduce code generation required. * SubpassInput required an additional input layout modifier, input_attachment_index, this was added as a new parameter binding attribute. Since the following qualifiers can overlap with different resources (`layout(input_attachment_index = 0, binding = 0, set = 0)`) input_attachment_index is checked for overlapping resource bindings separately from other qualifiers with `LayoutResourceKind::InputAttachmentIndex`. * `GLSLInputAttachmentIndexLayoutModifier` was added to enforce function parameters only accepting `in` decorated variables. * `in` decorated variables needed to have emitting modified to allow directly emitting the variable into function calls if used as a parameter, normally Slang has a "global variable" shadow as a "global parameter" through a copy. This does not work and is solved using `GlobalVariableShadowingGlobalParameterDecoration` to build a relationship of "global variable" to "global parameter", we then resolve this relationship and replace "global variable" uses later in compile. * `AtomicCounterMemory` memory-constraint requires `OpCapability AtomicStorage`, `AtomicStorage` is invalid for Vulkan targets. glslang outputs for `barrier`, `memoryBarrier`, and `groupMemoryBarrier` `AtomicCounterMemory` as a memory constraint. This compiles as valid SPIR-V for Vulkan since `OpCapability AtomicStorage` is not declared. This behavior of glslang is undefined as per [3.31.Capability of the SPIR-V specification](https://registry.khronos.org/SPIR-V/specs/unified1/SPIRV.html#_capability). We will omit `AtomicCounterMemory` from our barrier calls.
