[CBP] Pointer frontend changes + groupshared pointer support (#7848)

2025-08-29T22:52:34+00:00

Resolves #7628 Resolves: #8197 Primary Goals: 1. Add `Access` to pointer 2. AddressSpace::GroupShared support for pointers (SPIR-V) 3. Add `__getAddress()` to replace `&` * `&` is not updated to `require(cpu)` since slangpy uses `&`. This means we must: (1) merge PR; (2) replace `&` with `__getAddress()`; (3) add `require(cpu)` to `&` Changes: * Added to `Ptr` the `Access` generic argument & logic (for `Access::Read`). * Moved the generic argument `AddressSpace` from `Ptr` to the end of the type. * Added pointer casting support between any `Ptr` as long as the `AddressSpace` is the same * Disallow globallycoherent T* and coherent T* * Disallow const T*, T const*, and const T* * Fixed .natvis display of `ConstantValue` `ValOperandNode` * Support generic resolution of type-casted integers * Added `VariablePointer` emitting for spirv + other minor logic needed for groupshared pointers Breaking Changes: * Anyone using the `AddressSpace` of `Ptr` will now have to account for the `Access` argument * we disallow various syntax paired with `Ptr` and `T*` --------- Co-authored-by: slangbot <186143334+slangbot@users.noreply.github.com>
