This change also switches the build back to using prebuilt glslang binaries instead of always building from source.
|
|
* Update glslang to 11.1.0
This change pulls new versions of glslang, spirv-headers, and spirv-tools as submodules, and makes the necessary changes to other files in the repository to get it all building (at least on Windows).
This change also enables building of glslang from source by default, so that we can easily generate new binaries for inclusion in the `slang-binaries` repository.

* Add first steps toward a "capability" system
We already have cases in the stdlib where we mark declarations as being specific to certain targets, e.g.:
```
// My ordinary function to add two numbers.
// Works everywhere.
//
void myFunc(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
// On the "coolgpu" target, we can use a secret intrinsic
// that adds numbers even faster!
//
__specialized_for_target(coolgpu)
void myFunc(int a, int b) { return __secretIntrinsic(a, b); }
```
The existing logic for dealing with these modifiers (`__specialized_for_target` and `__target_intrinsic`) was almost entirely string-based. We would turn the chosen compilation target into a string, and then use that to try and search for the "best" definition of a function at a few steps:
* During IR linking, we always pick one definition of an `[import]`ed function, and that definition will be the one with the "best" target-specialization modifier (if any)
* During final code generation, we always look up the "best" target-intrinsic modifier, and use it as the template for the code we output.
This change preserves the basic flow there, but replaces the ad hoc string-based logic with something a bit more principled, in terms of a new `CapabilitySet` type.
A `CapabilitySet` represents a set of zero or more atomic features (here represented as `CapabilityAtom`s). What a `CapabilitySet` means depends on how and where it is used:
* A compilation target implies a `CapabilitySet` where the contents of the set are the features the target *supports*.
* A `CapabilitySet` attached to a declaration (or a modifier on that declaration) describes a set of feature that declaration *requires*.
The current implementation of `CapabilitySet` is wasteful and inefficient, but that is something we can iterate on over time.
In practice, most of the current code only ever uses capability sets that are either empty (because they represent a function with no specific requirements) or singleton (because they represent asingle atomic capability like "is a GLSL target," "is an HLSL target," etc.).
The main goal here was to put in the skeleton of a new system, including some of the features it might need down the line, and then to leave changes that eventually use the greater flexibility for later. Eventually, the capability system should encompass:
* Differences between shader model versions, GLSL versions, SPIR-V versions, etc. (currently tracked with other modifiers)
* Optional extensions, and functions that are made available only with certain extensions (currently tracked with other modifiers)
* Front-end checking that the call graph of a program doesn't violate any capability-requirements (e.g., having a GLSL+HLSL portable function call a GLSL-only subroutine)
* Hypothetically we can also try to fold stage-specific (vertex-only, fragment-only, etc.) functions into this system, but doing so would require more linker cleverness if we allow overloading on stages (since we might have to clone a caller if it calls through to a callee with multiple stage-specific versions)
One important complication that the system has to deal with just because of the "do what I mean" nature of the current compiler is that somethings a current Slang user might compile for target X and specify version N, but then use a function that actually requires version N+1 of that target. Currently the Slang compiler silently "upgrades" the version(s) used by user code in these cases, because it is often what users want in cross-compilation scenarios.
Dealing with the "silent upgrade" situation requires us to be a little careful and sometimes pick a "best" capability set that doesn't appear to be supported on our target. Refining that system and potentially getting rid of the "do what I mean" behavior over time could be a goal for future changes.

* "Shader Toy" example and related fixes
This change introduces a new `shader-toy` example program that is primarily designed to show how Slang's features for type-based encapsulation and modularity can be applied to modularity for effects along the lines of those from `shadertoy.com`.
The Example
-----------
The example is being checked in with an example "toy" effect that I hastily put together, so that it would not be encumbered with any IP concerns. I wrote the effect using the shadertoy.com editor, so I can be sure it is valid GLSL. During bringup of the application I used a pre-existing and larger effect for testing, so some of the support code that was added is not being used at present.
The big-picture idea here is to have an exmaple that shows how to modularize things using Slang interfaces and generics, and then to use the Slang compiler API to manage the compilation, composition, specialization, and linking steps. For better or worse this leads to the sequence of API calls involved being much longer than what was in something like the `hello-world` example.
Future Work (Example)
---------------------
There is a lot of room for improvement and expansion here, so this should be viewed as a checkpoint of work in progress rather than something I'm claiming as a finalized demonstration of all we'd like to achieve. Areas for future work include:
* We need to copy the integration of "Dear, IMGUI" that was already done for the `model-viewer` example so that this example can have a UI.
* Now that the compilation flow is broken into all these additional steps, it should be possible to have the application load multiple effects as distinct modules, and then provide a UI for switching between them. The chosen effect module would be used to specialize the top-level shader(s) before kernel generation.
* The checked-in logic includes a compute shader that can execute an effect, but that hasn't been tested nor has it been wired up to any kind of UI. We should have a way to switch between multiple execution methods, with a goal of eventually including CPU execution.
* The "GLSL compatibility" code needs a lot of improvements before it is likely to be usable for a nontrivial number of shaders. Some of that work is waiting on Slang compiler fixes, though.
* We should consider allowing the individual "toy" effects to define their own uniform parameters and expose those via a UI and reflection. The catch in this case is not that this would be difficult to do, but that it would be a semantic change to how shader toy effects currently work.
The Compiler Fixes
------------------
Doing this work exposed a few bugs in Slang, and this change includes fixes for the ones that were quick to address.
We already had logic in `slang-check-shader.cpp` that was validating the entry points in a compile request - either by checking the explicitly-listed entry points, or by scanning for `[shader("...")]` attributes. The problem is that the routine that did that checking was not being invoked on all compiles. The logic that handled entry points was only being run for manual compiles using `SlangCompileRequest`, while anything using `import` or `loadModule` would ignore entry points. I refactored the relevant code into a subroutine that will be invoked in all compilation scenarios.
There were already `TODO` comments in `SpecializedComponentType` which made the point about how a specialized entry point like `myShader<YourType>` would need to properly show that it has dependencies on both the module that defines `myShader` *and* the module that defines `YourType`, while only the former was being handled at present. I went ahead and implemented the logic to scan the generic arguments for a specialized compoment type in order to determine what module(s) the arguments depend on (both type arguments and witness tables). With that change, using `IComponentType::link` on a specialized component will properly pull in the module(s) that the generic arguments come from.
In `slang-ir-legalize-types.cpp` we could run into assertion failures in debug builds because of code trying to legalize layout `IRAttr`s for fields or parameters with types that need legalization. In practice it is safe to skip these layout attributes, because legalization of the fields/parameters they pertain to would result in creation of entirely new layout attributes, and the old ones would then be unreferenced.
Future Work (Fixes)
-------------------
There are other compiler bugs that this work exposed, but which this change does not address. These will need to be resolved as part of subsequent changes:
* Slang allows for default-initialization of variables of a generic type. That is, given `<T : ISomething>` a user is allowed to declare `T x = {};` and the Slang front-end does not complain. Instead, this leads to an internal compiler error during IR lowering.
* The Slang `__init()` feature probably needs to be upgraded to a properly supported feature, and we probably need a way to make implementing default-initialization an easy thing (e.g., any `struct` type that has initial-value expressions for all its fields should automatically and implicitly satsify an `init();` requirement declared in an interface)
* Iniside an `__init()` definition, code has mutable access to members of the enclosing type, but for some reason the front-end is incorrectly treating `this` as immutable in those contexts. As a result you can write to `someField` but not `this.someField`.
* User-defined operator overloads flat out don't work (which isn't surprising given that no clients have decided to use them yet, and we have no test coverage for them). This is actually due to the shadowing rules being used for lookup right now, so a fix for this issue is going to have far-reaching consequences around what overloads are visible where (and anything that impacts overload resolution is a big can of worms, including around performance).
