Making it easier to work with shaders https://git.yummers.dev/slang.git/atom?h=master 2018-02-03T15:30:54+00:00 2018-02-03T15:30:54+00:00 Tim Foley tfoleyNV@users.noreply.github.com 2018-02-03T15:30:54+00:00 urn:sha1:662f43fff6721c6cd013a8f1b2639c2e29fe6be3 The basic change is simple: remove support for all code generation paths other than the IR. There is a lot of vestigial code left, but the main logic in `ast-legalize.*` is gone. Doing this breaks a *lot* of tests, for various reasons: - We can no longer guarantee exactly matching DXBC or SPIR-V output after things pass through out IR - Many builtins don't have matching versions defined for GLSL output via IR (even when they had versions defined via the earlier approach that worked with the AST) - A lot of code creates intermediate values of opaque types in the IR, which turn into opaque-type temporaries that aren't allowed (this breaks many GLSL tests, but also some HLSL) I implemented some small fixes for issues that I could get working in the time I had, but most of the above are larger than made sense to fix in this commit. For now I'm disabling the tests that cause problems, but we will need to make a concerted effort to get things working on this new substrate if we are going to make good on our goals. 2017-10-23T17:37:07+00:00 Tim Foley tfoleyNV@users.noreply.github.com 2017-10-23T17:37:07+00:00 urn:sha1:ab64cf2ec05980d72cb2bad45e629d10ebbefdc1 When Slang sees a matrix multiplication `M * v` in GLSL code it should (obviously) output GLSL code that also does `M * v`, but there was a bug introduced where the type-checker manages to resolve the operation and recognize it as a matrix-vector multiply, and then the code-generation logic says "oh, I'm generating output for GLSL, and that is reversed from HLSL/Slang, so I'd better reverse these operands!" and outputs `v * M`... which isn't what we want. I've fixed the problem in an expedient way, by having the front-end resolve the operation to what it believes is an intrinsic multiply operation, rather than a matrix-vector operation. If we ever support cross compilation *from* GLSL (unlikely), we've need to fix this up so that we have both real matrix-vector multiplies and "reversed" multiplies where the operands folow the GLSL convention). I've added two tests here to confirm the fix. The one under `tests/bugs` catches the actual issue described above, and confirms the fix. The other one under `tests/cross-compile` is just to make sure that we *do* properly reverse the operands to a matrix-vector product when converting from Slang to GLSL.
