Making it easier to work with shaders https://git.yummers.dev/slang.git/atom?h=master 2025-08-07T07:22:22+00:00 2025-08-07T07:22:22+00:00 ArielG-NV 159081215+ArielG-NV@users.noreply.github.com 2025-08-07T07:22:22+00:00 urn:sha1:063cbeaaea2fb00a10c6058ea4a9632092772ea5 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 <haaggarwal@nvidia.com> Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: slangbot <ellieh+slangbot@nvidia.com> Co-authored-by: slangbot <186143334+slangbot@users.noreply.github.com> 2024-06-10T20:28:36+00:00 skallweitNV 64953474+skallweitNV@users.noreply.github.com 2024-06-10T20:28:36+00:00 urn:sha1:712ce653d4c3d7284dd71389f31540d0da7f144e 2024-06-07T07:28:16+00:00 skallweitNV 64953474+skallweitNV@users.noreply.github.com 2024-06-07T07:28:16+00:00 urn:sha1:004fe27a52b7952111ad7e749397aeff499de7ed 2023-09-29T01:07:40+00:00 Yong He yonghe@outlook.com 2023-09-29T01:07:40+00:00 urn:sha1:b7d318f48db2cb83a41d665f1727ae93fc555124 * Support `constref` parameters passing. * Fix. * Fix. * Add test and diagnostic on mix use of __constref and no_diff. * check for [constref] on differentiable member method. --------- Co-authored-by: Yong He <yhe@nvidia.com>
