* Rework command-line options handling for entry points and targets
Overview:
* The biggest functionality change is that the implicit ordering constraints when multiple `-entry` options are reversed: any `-stage` option affects the `-entry` to its *left* instead of to its *right* as it used to. This is technically a breaking change, but I expect most users aren't using this feature.
* The options parsing tries to handle profile versions and stages as distinct data (rather than using the combined `Profile` type all over), and treats a `-profile` option that specifies both a profile version and a stage (e.g., `-profile ps_5_0`) as if it were sugar for both a `-profile` and a `-stage` (e.g., `-profile sm_5_0 -stage fragment`).
* We now technically handle multiple `-target` options in one invocation of `-slangc`, but do not advertise that fact in the documentation because it might be confusing for users. Similar to the relationship between `-stage` and `-entry`, any `-profile` option affects the most recent `-target` option unless there is only one `-target`.
* The logic for associating `-o` options with corresponding entry points and targets has been beefed up. The rule is that a `-o` option for a compiled kernel binds to the entry point to its left, unless there is only one entry point (just like for `-stage`). The associated target for a `-o` option is found via a search, however, because otherwise it would be impossible to specify `-o` options for both SPIR-V and DXIL in one pass.
* The handling of output paths for entry points in the internal compiler structures was changed, because previously it could only handle one output path per entry point (even when there are multiple targets). The new logic builds up a per-target mapping from an entry point to its desired output path (if any).
Details:
* Support for formatting profile versions, stages, and compile targets (formats) was added to diagnostic printing, so that we can make better error messages. This is fairly ad hoc, and it would be nice to have all of the string<->enum stuff be more data-driven throughout the codebase.
* Test cases were added for (almost) all of the error conditions in the current options validation. The main one that is missing is around specifying an `-entry` option before any source file when compiling multiple files. This is because the test runner is putting the source file name first on the command line automatically, so we can't reproduce that case.
* Several reflection-related tests now reflect entry points where they didn't before, because the logic for detecting when to infer a default `main` entry point have been made more loose
* On the dxc path, beefed up the handling of mapping from Slang `Profile`s to the coresponding string to use when invoking dxc.
* A bunch of tests cases were in violation of the newly imposed rules, so those needed to be cleaned up.
* There were also a bunch of test cases that had accidentally gotten "disabled" at some point because there were comparing output from `slangc` both with and without a `-pass-through` option, but that meant that any errors in command-line parsing produced the *same* error output in both the Slang and pass-through cases. This change updates `slang-test` to always expect a successful run for these tests, and then manually updates or disables the various test cases that are affected.
* When merging the updated test for matrix layout mode, I found that the new command-line logic was failing to propagate a matrix layout mode passed to `render-test` into the compiler. This was because the `-matrix-layout*` options were implemented as per-target, but the target was being set by API while the option came in via command line (passed through the API). It seems like we want matrix layout mode to be a global option anyway (rather than per-target), so I made that change here.
* Add missing expected output files
* A 64-bit fix
* Remove commented-out code noted in review

* Move to newer glslang
* Support cross-compilation of ray tracing shaders to Vulkan
This change allows HLSL shaders authored for DirectX Raytracing (DXR) to be cross-compiled to run with the experimental `GL_NVX_raytracing` extension (aka "VKRay").
* The GLSL extension spec is marked as experimental, so that any shaders written using this support should be ready for breaking changes when the spec is finalized.
* "Callable shaders" are not exposed throug the GLSL extension, so this feature of DXR will not be cross-compiled.
* The experimental Vulkan raytracing extension does not have an equivalent to DXR's "local root signature" concept. This does not visibly impact shader translation (because the local/global root signature mapping is handled outside of the HLSL code), but in practice it means that applications which rely on local root signatures on their DXR path will not be able to use the translation in this change as-is; more work will be needed.
The simplest part of the implementation was to go into the Slang standard library and start adding GLSL translations for the various DXR operations.
In some cases, like mapping `IgnoreHit()` to `ignoreIntersectionNVX()` this is almost trivial.
The various functions to query system-provided values (e.g., `RayTMin()`) were also easy, with the only gotcha being that they map to variables rather than function calls in GLSL, and our handling of `__target_intrinsic` assumes that a bare identifier represents a replacement function name, and not a full expression, so we have to wrap these definitions in parentheses.
The tricky operations are then `TraceRay<P>()` and `ReportHit<A>()`, because these two are generics/templates in HLSL.
GLSL doesn't support generics, even for "standard library" functions, so the raytracing extension implements a slightly complex workaround: the matching operations `traceNVX()` and `reportIntersectionNVX()` pass the payload/attributes argument data via a global variable.
That is, shader code for the GLSL extensions writes to the global variable and then calls the intrinsic function.
The linkage between the call site and the global is established by a modifier keyword (`rayPayloadNVX` and `hitAttributeNVX`, respectively) and in the case of ray payload also uses `location` number to identify which payload global to use (since a single shader can trace rays with multiple payload types).
Our translation strategy in Slang tries to leverage standard language mechanisms instead of special-case logic.
For example, to translate the `ReportHit<A>()` function, we provide both a default declaration that will work for HLSL (where the operation is built-in with the signature given), and a *definition* marked with the `__specialized_for_target(glsl)` modifier.
The GLSL definition declares a function `static` variable that will fill the role of the required global, and then does what the GLSL spec requires: assigns to the global, and then calls the `reportIntersectionNVX` builtin (which we declare as a separate builtin).
Our ordinary lowering process will turn that `static` variable into an ordinary global in the IR, and the `[__vulkanHitAttributes]` attribute on the variable will be emitted as `hitAttributeNVX` in the output.
There is no additional cross-compilation logic in Slang specific to `ReportHit<A>()` - the target-specific definition in the standard library Just Works.
The case for `TraceRay<P>()` is a bit more complicated, simply because the GLSL `traceNVX()` function needs to be passed the `location` for the payload global.
We implement the payload global as a function-`static` variable, with the knowledge that every unique specialization of `TraceRay<P>()` will generate a unique global variable of type `P` to implement our function-`static` variable.
We then add a slightly magical builtin function `__rayPayloadLocation()` that can map such a variable to its generated `location`; the logic for this is implemented in `emit.cpp` and described below.
We also changed the `RayDesc` and `BuiltinTriangleIntersectionAttributes` types from "magic" intrinsic types over to ordinary types (because the GLSL output needs to declare them as ordinary `struct` types).
This ends up removing some cases in the AST and IR type representations.
By itself this change would break HLSL emit, because in that case the types really are intrinsic.
We added a `__target_intrinsic` modifier to these types to make them intrinsic for HLSL, and then updated the downstream passes to handle the notion of target-intrinsic types.
The logic for binding/layout of entry point inputs and outputs was updated so that raytracing stages don't follow the default logic for varying input/output parameters.
This is because the input/output parameters of a raytracing entry point aren't really "varying" in the same sense as those in the rasterization pipeline.
In particular, the SPIR-V model for raytracing input and output treats "ray payload" and "hit attributes" parameters as being in a distinct storage class from `in` or `out` parameters.
We also detect cases where a ray tracing stage declares inputs/outputs that it shouldn't have. This logic could conceivably be extended to other stages (e.g., to give an error on a compute shader with user-defined varying input/output).
The type layout logic added cases for handling raytracing payload and hit-attribute data, but this is currently just a stub implementation that follows the same logic as for varying `in` and `out` parameters (it cannot give meaningful byte sizes/offsets right now).
To my knowledge the GLSL spec doesn't currently specify anything about layout, and I haven't read the DXR spec language carefully enough to know what it says about layout.
A future change should update the layout logic to allow for byte-based layout of ray payloads, etc. so that we can query this information via reflection.
The GLSL legalization logic in `ir.cpp` was updated to factor out the per-entry-point-parameter code into its own function, and then that function was updated to special-case the input/output of a ray-tracing shader.
While for rasterization stages we typically want to take the user-declared input/output and "scalarize" it for use in GLSL (in part to deal with language limitations, and in part to tease system values apart from user-defined input/output), the GLSL spec for raytracing requires payload and hit attribute parameters to be declared as single variables. There is also the issue that even for an `in out` parameter, a ray payload parameter should only turn into a single global, whereas the handling for varying `in out` parameters generates both an `in` and an `out` global for the GLSL case.
Other than the handling of entry point parameters, the GLSL legalization pass doesn't need to do anything special for ray tracing shaders.
The trickiest change in the `emit.cpp` logic is that we now generate `location`s for ray payload arguments (the outgoing from a `TraceRay()` call) on demand during code generation.
This is a bit hacky, and it would be nice to handle it as a separate pass on the IR rather than clutter up the emit logic, but this approach was expedient.
Basically, any of the global variables that got generated from the `static` declarations in the standard library implementation of `TraceRay()` will trigger the logic to assign them a `location`.
The logic for emitting intrinsic operations added a few new `$`-based escape sequences. The `$XP` case handles emitting the location of a generated ray payload variable; this is how we emit the matching location at the site where we call `traceNVX`. The `$XT` case emits the appropriate translation for `RayTCurrent()` in HLSL, because it maps to something different depending on the target stage.
All of the test cases here consist of a pair of an HLSL/Slang shader written to the DXR spec, plus a matching GLSL shader for a baseline.
The GLSL shaders are carefully designed so that when fed into glslang they will produce the same SPIR-V as our cross-compilation process.
This kind of testing is quite fragile, but it seems to be the best we can do until our testing framework code supports *both* DXR and VKRay.
A bunch of the core changes ended up being blocked on issues in the rest of the compiler, so some additional features go implemented or fixed along the way:
The first big wall this work ran into was that the `__specialized_for_target` modifier hasn't actually been working correctly for a while.
It turns out that for the one function that is using it, `saturate()`, we have been outputting the workaround GLSL function in *all* cases (including for HLSL output) rather than only on GLSL targets.
The problem here is that for a generic function with a `__specialized_for_target` modifier or a `__target_intrinsic` modifier, the IR-level decoration will end up attached to the `IRFunc` instruction nested in the `IRGeneric`, but the logic for comparing IR declarations to see which is more specialized (via `getTargetSpecializationLevel()`) was looking only at decorations on the top-level value (the generic).
The quick (hacky) fix here is to make `getTargetSpecializationLevel()` try to look at the return value of a generic rather than the generic itself, so that it can see the decorations that indicate target-specific functions.
A more refined fix would be to attach target-specificity decorations to the outer-most generic (to simplify the "linking" logic).
The only reason not to fold that into the current fix is that the `__target_intrinsic` modifier currently serves double-duty as a marker of target specialization *and* information to drive emit logic. The latter (the emit-related stuff) currently needs to live on the `IRFunc`, and moving it to the generic could easily break a lot of code.
This needs more work in a follow-on fix, but for now target specialization should again be working.
The other big gotcha that the simple "just use the standard library" strategy ran into was that function-`static` variables weren't actually implemented yet, and in particular function-`static` variables inside of generic functions required some careful coding.
The logic in `lower-to-ir.cpp` has this `emitOuterGenerics()` function that is supposed to take a declaration that might be nested inside of zero or more levels of AST generics, and emit corresponding IR generics for all those levels.
This is needed because two different AST functions nested inside a single generic `struct` declaration should turn into distinct `IRFunc`s nested in distinct `IRGeneric`s.
The tricky bit to making that all work is that the same AST-level generic type parameter will then map to *different* IR-level instructions (the parameters of distinct `IRGeneric`s) when lowering each function.
The existing logic handled this in an idiomatic way by making "sub-builders" and "sub-contexts."
This change refactors some of the repeated logic into a `NestedContext` type to help simplify the pattern, and applies it consistently throughout the `lower-to-ir.cpp` file.
Besides that cleanup, the major change is `lowerFunctionStaticVarDecl` which, unsurprisingly, handles lower of function-`static` variables to IR globals.
The careful handling of nested contexts here is needed because if we are in the middle of lowering a generic function, then a `static` variable should turn into its *own* `IRGeneric` wrapping an `IRGlobalVar`. The body of the function should refer to the global variable by specializing the global variable's `IRGeneric` to the parameters of the *functions* `IRGeneric`. This tricky detail is handled by `defaultSpecializeOuterGenerics`.
An additional subtlety not actually required for this raytracing work (and thus not properly tested right now) is handling function-`static` variables with initializers.
These can't just be lowered to globals with initializers, because HLSL follows the C rule that function-`static` variables are initialized when the declaration statement is first executed (and this could be visible in the presence of side-effects).
The lowering strategy here translates any `static` variable with an initializer into *two* globals: one for the actual storage, plus a second `bool` variable to track whether it has been initialized yet.
There are some opportunities to optimize this case, especially for `static const` data, but that will need to wait for future changes.
We've slowly been shifting away from the model where a user thinks of a "profile" as including both a stage and a feature level.
Instead, the user should think about selecting a profile that only describes a feature level (e.g., `sm_6_1`, `glsl_450`, etc.), and then separately specifying a stage (`vertex`, `raygeneration, etc.) for each entry point.
The challenge here is that the command-line processing still only had a single `-profile` switch, and no way to specify the stage.
Adding the `-stage` option was relatively easy, but making it work with the existing validation logic for command-line arguments was tricky, because of the complex model that `slangc` supports for compiling multiple entry points in a single pass.
* In `slang.h` add new reflection parameter categories for ray payloads and hit attributes, as part of entry point input/output signatures.
* A previous change already updated our copy of glslang to one that supports the `GL_NVX_raytracing` extension, so in `slang-glslang.cpp` we just needed to map Slang's `enum` values for the raytracing stage names to their equivalents in the glslang code.
* Moved the logic for looking up a stage by name (`findStageByName()`) out of `check.cpp` and into `compiler.cpp`, with a declaration in `profile.h`
* Added a `$z` suffix to the GLSL translation of `Texture*.SampleLevel()`, to handle cases where the texture element type is not a 4-component vector. Note that this fix should actually be applied to *all* these texture-sampling operations, but I didn't want to add a bunch of changes that are (clearly) not being tested right now.
* The layout logic for entry points was updated to correctly skip producing a `TypeLayout` for an entry point result of type `void`, which meant that the related emit logic now needs to guard against a null value for the result layout.
* In `ir.cpp`, dump decorations on every instruction instead of just selected ones, so that our IR dump output is more complete.
* Added a command-line `-line-directive-mode` option so that we can easily turn off `#line` directives in the output when debugging. Not all cases where plumbed through because the `none` case is realistically the most important.
* Parser was fixed to properly initialize parent links for "scope" declarations used for statements, so that we can walk backwards from a function-scope variable (including a `static`) and see the outer function/generics/etc.
* Added GLSL 460 profile, since it is required for ray tracing. Also updated the logic for computing the "effective" profile to use to recognize that GLSL raytracing stages require GLSL 460.
* Added some conventional ray-tracing shader suffixes to the handling in `slang-test`. This code isn't actually used, but was relevant when I started by copy-pasting some existing VKRay shaders as the starting point for my testing.
* Fixup: typos

* Add support for DirectX Raytracing (DXR)
This is an initial pass to add support to Slang for the shader stages introduced by DirectX Raytracing (DXR).
* Add declarations for DXR intrinsic types and functions to the Slang standard library. The way our compilation works, these will then get propagated through the IR as intrinsics and get spit back out again as-is during HLSL code emission.
* Declare the DXR-related stages. This is the main work that affects the compiler's C++ implementation rather than being something we can add via the standard library today.
* Switch around the encoding of the `Profile` type so that the stage is in the low bits, allowing API users to pass an ordinary `SlangStage` to operations that expect a `SlangProfileID`.
- This represents a direction I'd like to push in long term, where the user specifies stage and "feature level" separately rather than using composite profiles like `vs_6_0`. The introduction of these new stages seems like a good point to try and make a clean break here and not introduce, e.g., `rgs_6_1` for ray generatin shaders.
* Upgrade "effective profile" computation so that it advances the required version based on the specified stage (e.g., DXR stages seem to require at least shader model 6.1).
- This is a bit of a kludge overall, but ideally we don't want a typical user to have to think about "feature level" stuff much at all. The ideal workflow is that they just hand us a source file and we work out entry points and their required feature levels in the compiler (and let the user query it when we are done). Until we implement that for real, stopgaps like this are required.
Overall these are relatively small changes for supporting some major new API behavior. Slang's design helps out here, by allowing a lot of things to be specified in the stdlib (including generic intrinsic functions), but some of this is also owed to the DXIL-influenced design of DXR - e.g., the use of global functions in place of `SV_*` semantics.
* fixup: typos
* Fixup: use `pixel` instead of `fragment` as primary stage name
This is to match HLSL conventions when generating output code, even if the Slang project officially favors the more correct term "fragment shader."

* Typo
* Add [shader(...)] and clean up some literal handling
* Add supporting for validating the `[shader(...)]` attribute, by checking that its argument is a string literal that names a known shader stage.
* Split the `ConstantExpr` class into distinct subclasses rooted at `LiteralExpr`, so we have `BoolLiteralExpr`, `IntegerLiteralExpr`, `FloatingPointLiteralExpr`, and `StringLiteralExpr`
* Add a `String` type to the stdlib, to be used as the type of a string literal.
This change allows code using `[shader(...)]` to be accepted by the front-end again, but it does nothing about emitting it in final HLSL.
* Allow entry points to be specified via [shader(...)]
Before this change, the compiler would track a list of `EntryPointRequest` objects, based on what the suer specified via API and/or command-line options. Each entry point request would get matched up with an AST `FuncDecl` as part of semantic checking, and then the back end steps (layout, codegen, etc.) would work from that information.
This change makes the compiler modal, in that it can *either* continue to use an explicit list of entry point requests (this is the mode when the list is non-empty), or it can rely on user-supplied attributes on entry point functions to drive codegen (this is the mode when the list is empty).
User-specified `[shader(...)]` attributes are processed at the same place where the association from `EntryPointRequest`s to `FuncDecl`s would otherwise be made, and basically does the same thing in the opposite direction: looks for `FuncDecl`s with the appropriate attribute and synthesizes an `EntryPointRequest` for them.
Subsequent processing should ideally not know where a given `EntryPointRequest` came from, and should handle both methods of specifying the entry points equivalently.
One design choice that might not make immediate sense is that we do *not* process a function as an entry point (applying further validation, etc.) just because it has a `[shader(...)]` modifier, unless we are in the appropriate mode (which in this case is the mode where the user didn't specify their own entry points via API or command line). This is to handle cases where the user wants to explicitly compile only one entry point, so that they (1) don't want us to spend time validating code they don't care about, (2) don't want do get output they don't expect, and (3) might actually be presenting us with code that violates the language rules due to a combination of `#define`s in effect (e.g., they might have a `[shader("vertex")]` function that transitively executes a `discard` because of how the preprocessor was configured, but they don't care because they are compiling a fragment entry point). This decision might be something we revisit over time.
As part of this work, I had to add some logic to pick a "profile version" to use for a combination of a target and stage (because when you specify `[shader("vertex")]` the compiler can't tell if you want `vs_5_0`, `vs_5_1`, etc.). This isn't really complete right now, because something like `-target dxbc` *also* doesn't determine a profile, so there is a bit of a kludge at present. We need to figure out a good long-term plan here, which might involve keeping target format, feature level/version, and pipeline stage as truly orthogonal concepts, rather than conflating them. That would involve more work in the API and command-line layers to de-compose things when the user specifies, e.g., `vs_5_1`, but might make downstream logic easier to manage.
* Emit [shader(...)] attribute on entry point for SM 6.1 and later
This should help ensure that the output from Slang can be compiled with dxc `lib_*` profiles.
* Fix warning

`gl_Layer` as a fragment input requires at least version 4.30 of GLSL, so we try to track that information when we see the name used.
Note that this does *not* override a user-specified `#version` line.
This required re-ordering when lowering happens relative to emitting the `#version` directive, since this code works by actually modifying the chosen profile for the entry point.
Yes, that is kind of gross and we should do something cleaner in the long term.

Fixes #83
- The basic idea is that I added a bunch of more specific profile names line `glsl_vertex_430` which indicate the desired GLSL version the user wants.
- An explicit `#version` line in the code always overrides one specified by profile, though

That is, even if hte user specified the `-no-checking` option (or the equivalent via API), we still want/need to apply full semantic checks to Slang code, so that cross-compilation will be possible.
