2017-08-17Add some dummy logic to print IR to HLSLTim Foley
- Change IR instructions to just hold an integer opcode instead of a pointer to the "info" structure - Externalize definition of IR instructions to a header file, and use the "X macro" approach to allow generating different definitions - Add notion of function types to the IR, so that we can easily query the result type of a function - Add some convenience accesors to allow walking the IR in a strongly-typed manner (e.g., iterate over the parameters of a function) - TODO: these should really be changed to assert the type of things, as least in debug builds - Add very basic logic to `emit.cpp` so that it can walk the generated IR and start printing it back as HLSL - This isn't meant to be usable as-is, but it is a step toward where we need to go
2017-08-17IR generation cleanup workTim Foley
- Make all instructions store their argument count for now, so we can iterate over them easily. - Longer term we might try to optimize for space because the common case is that the operand count is known, but keeping it simpler seems better for now - Split apart the creation of an instruction from adding it to a parent - Use the above capability to make sure that we add a function to its parent *after* all the parameter/result type emission has occured. - Perform simple value numbering for types during IR creation - This logic also tries to pick a good parent for any type instructions, so that types don't get created local to a function unless they really need to - Create all constants at global scope, and re-use when values are identical
2017-08-16More work on IRTim Foley
With this change, basic generation of IR works for a trivial shader, and there is some basic support for dumping the generated IR in an assembly-like format. As with the other IR change, the use of the IR is statically disabled for now, so that existing users won't be affected.
2017-08-15Starting to add intermediate representation (IR)Tim Foley
Right now none of this is hooked up, but I want to get things checked in incrementally rather than have along long-lived branches. - Added placeholder declarations for IR representation of instructions, basic blocks, etc. - Start adding a `lower-to-ir` pass to translate from AST representation to IR Again: none of this is functional, so it shouldn't mess with existing users of the compiler.
