* Basic layout and reflection for specialized types (#970)Tim Foley2019-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Basic layout and reflection for specialized types Suppose I have an interface, and a simple implementation of it: ```hlsl interface IModifier { float modify(float value); } struct Doubler : IModifier { float modify(float value) { return 2 * value; } } ``` SAnd now suppose I want to define an implementation that recursively uses the same interface: ```hlsl struct MultiModifier : IModifier { IModifier first; IModifier second; float modify(float value) { value = first.modify(value); value = second.modify(value); return value; } } ``` And now consider that I might have a generic entry point that uses the interface: ```hlsl void myShader<M : IModifier>( uniform M modifier, ... ) { ... } ``` I can easily specialize `myShader` for `M = Doubler`, but in order to specialze it for `M = MultiModifier` I need a way to specify what the types of `MultiModifier.first` and `.second` should be. That is what the `spReflection_specializeType` function is used to do: take a type like `MultiModifier` and specialize it for, say, `first : Doubler` and `second : Doubler`. That function creates an `ExistentialSpecializedType` that records the base type (`MultiModifier`) and the specialization arguments (the concrete types plus the witness tables that prove they implement the required interfaces). The change that introduced that logic neglected to include an implementation of type layout for `ExistentialSpecializedType`, and also didn't add any support for the new kind of type through the reflection API. That is what this change seeks to rectify. When it comes to layout, a specialized type neeeds to apply layout to its base type (e.g., `MultiModifier`) with the appropriate existential type "slot" arguments bound, which luckily is stuff that type layout already supporst (to handle specialization of interface-type shader parameters). Unlike the case for interface-type shader parameters where the "primary" and "pending" data for a type get propagated up the chain and allocated to different places, a specialized type should be allocated contiguously (e.g., `myShader<M>` is going to assume that the type `M` occupies a contiguous range in memory). The type layout for a specialized type thus computes a layout that is more-or-less a structure type consisting of the "primary" data followed by the "pending" data. This gets wrapped up in a new `ExistentialSpecializedTypeLayout` class. The reflection API then needs to expose an `ExistentialSpecializedTypeLayout` as a new kind of type, and then also provide access to the relevant pieces. For the "base" type, I went ahead and re-used the `getElementType` entry point, just for simplicity (we can debate whether that or a new entry point is more appropriate/convenient). For the actual layout, all that was needed was a way to query the offset for where the "pending" data gets placed, and that is already conveniently encoded as a `VarLayout` field in the `ExistentialSpecializedTypeLayout`. With this change, specialized types are closer to being truly usable, although there is still missing logic in IR lowering because we need to make sure that explicitly specialized types are represented differently from types that are specialized based on global shader parameters. * fixup: review feedback
* Changes required for application adoption of interface-type parameters (#963)Tim Foley2019-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * A few changes required for application adoption of interface-type parameters There are a few small changes here that are all related in that they arose from trying to integrate support for specialization via global interface-type shader parameters into a real application. Allow querying the "pending" layout via reflection API ------------------------------------------------------ The naming here isn't ideal, and could probably use a round of "bikeshedding" to arrive at something better, but the basic idea is that when you have a type like: ``` struct MyStuff { int a; IFoo foo; int b; } ``` the fields `a` and `b` get allocated space directly in the "primary" layout for `MyStuff` (at offsets 0 and 4, with `sizeof(MyStuff) == 8`), but the `foo` field can't be allocated space until we know what concrete type will get plugged in there. If we have a concrete type in mind: ``` struct Bar : IFoo { int bar; } ``` then we can know how much space the `foo` field will take up, but we still can't allocate it space directly in `MyStuff`, because we already decided that `sizeof(MyStuff) == 8`. Now imagine we place some `MyStuff` values into constant buffers: ``` cbuffer X { MyStuff x; } cbuffer Y { MyStuff y; float4 z; } ``` In each case we know that we want to place the `MyStuff::foo` field at the end of the containing constant buffer so that it doesn't disrupt the layout of the existing fields. But that means that the offset of `MyStuff::foo` relative to the start of the `MyStuff` isn't fixed, because of unrelated fields like `z` that need to get in between. In our layout code, we handle this by having a notion of a "pending" layout. Once we know how `MyStuff::foo` will be specialized, we can compute both a "primary" and a "pending" layout for `MyStuff`, which basically treats it as if it were two distinct types: ``` struct MyStuff_Primary { int a; int b; } struct MyStuff_Pending { Bar foo; } ``` Layout for an aggregate type like the `X` or `Y` constant buffer then proceeds by computing an aggregate primary layout and an aggregate pending layout, and then finally a constant buffer or parameter block "flushes" all or part of the pending data by appending it to the primary data to get the final layout. What all this means is that a type like `MyStuff` will have two different layouts (a default one for the primary data and a "pending" one for any specialized interface-type fields), and a variable like `Y::y` will also have two variable layouts that specify offsets (one set of offsets for its primary part, and one set of offsets for its pending part). In order to handle interface-type fields with these layout rules, an application needs a way to query the "pending" part of a type or variable layout, which luckily gives it back just another type/variable layout. The API change here is minimal, although actually exploiting the new API correctly in application code could prove challenging. Allow creating of explicitly specialized types ---------------------------------------------- This feature isn't actually implemented all the way through the compiler (I just needed enough to make the API calls go through), but I've added support for specializing a type that has interface-type fields through the reflection API. This maps to an `ExistentialSpecializedType` in the AST, and I'm lowering it to the IR as a `BindExistentialsType`, although that isn't 100% correct for the future. This feature will require a future PR to actually flesh out the implementation work, but I'll wait until that is the sticking point on the application side before I do that. Introduce a tiny `Hasher` abstraction ------------------------------------- While implementing all the boilerplate for a new `Type` subclass (we really need to reduce that work...), I got fed up with how we do hash-code computation and introduced a small utility `Hasher` type that is intended to wrap up the idiom of combining hashes. For now this isn't a major change, but in the future I'd like to expand on the design a bit to clean up some of the warts around how we handle hashing: * The `Hasher` implementation can and should switch from maintaining a single `HashCode` as its state to something that contains a more complete state (larger than the hash code) and just hashes new bytes into that state as it goes. This should make it possible to implement a `Hasher` for more serious hash functions, whether MD5, CityHash, or whatever we decide is good default. * Things that are hashable shouldn't have a `getHashCode()` method, but instead should have something like a `hashInto(Hasher&)` method. This change would have the dual benefits that (1) a composite type can easily hash all the fields that contribute to its identity into the hasher with minimal fuss/boilerplate, and (2) the hashes for composite types will be of higher quality because they can exploit all the bits of the hasher's state to combine the fields, instead of restricting each sub-field to just the bits in a hash code. We should be able to incrementally improve the quality of our design there over future changes, but for now it probably isn't a critical priority. Fixes for legalization of existential types ------------------------------------------- There were some missing cases in the handling of type legalization, such that a global interface-type shader parameter that got specialized to a type that contains *only* resource-type fields would cause a crash in the legalization step. I added a test for this case, and then made `ir-legalize-types.cpp` account for this case (the code to handle it ias a bit of a kludge, and shows that the `declareVars()` routine there is getting to a level of complexity that is worrying. * fixup: review feedback

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Make vector/matrix type layouts include element type layouts Previously the `MatrixTypeLayout` class was a leaf node in the layout hierarchy, and vector types just used `TypeLayout` with no further refinement. This change adds a `VectorTypeLayout`, and makes all of vector, matrix, and array types inherit form a common base class for `SequenceTypeLayout`s. The actual layout computation logic was updated to compute layouts for the element types of vectors, and for the row (and element) types of matrices. Notes: * Because of the way varying input/output parameters are being handled, their type layouts won't include this new information, and they will just use `TypeLayout`. This was true even for the matrix case before. * I made the design choice in this change to have a matrix type always treat rows as the logical element type (since that is what is surfaced to ther user in the HLSL syntax). We could potentially make our lives easier during layout computation if we made the element type of a `MatrixTypeLayout` depend on the row-/column-major layout choice, but that would then require any algorithm that uses the new layout information to take row-vs-column-major into account. * No code is actually *using* this new information yet, although the work in `ir-union.cpp` could probably benefit from it. The main expected use case going forward is representing constant buffers as a "bag of bits." * Add a specialized type layout approach for varying parameters There is a lot of complexity in `GetLayoutImpl` because it needs to service both the "normal" case, which always wants a `TypeLayout` object to be returned, and the varying parameter case, where we currently don't care about getting back a `TypeLayout` object. Confusingly, the varying parameter layout logic actually *does* construct `TypeLayout` objects, and it just does it inside of `parameter-binding.cpp` rather than in `type-layout.cpp`. That logic cannot (easily) be shared with the `GetLayoutImpl` path because: * The varying case needs to deal with system-value semantics and also parameters that may be inputs, outputs, or both (so that they need to combine resource usage computed for inputs and outputs). * The varying case needs to special-case vectors (and to a lesser extent matrices) because of the quirks of uniform layout (e.g., four `float` varying inputs consume four `locations`, but a `float4` consumes only one location). This change introduces a customized layout function just for varying parameters, that only handles the scalar, vector, and matrix cases (since `parameter-binding.cpp` will have recursed through any strucures/arrays, and should error out on any other types that are illegal in varying parameter lists). In the long run we could consider trying to deduplicate code and share more of this logic with `GetLayoutImpl`, but that would require a more significant refactoring of type layout, which should probably wait until we are doing layout on IR types. * Rename CreateTypeLayout to createTypeLayout This is just a fixup to better reflect our established naming conventions. * Simplify type layout so that it always returns a layout object The core `GetLayoutImpl` routine included a fair bit of complexity to deal with the fact that its `outTypeLayout` parameter was optional. The caller could pass in null to say that it doesn't want a `TypeLayout` object to be constructed, and the routine would conditionalize a lot of its logic to deal with this case. This change simplifies the logic so that a `TypeLayout` is always constructed and returned. Instead of using a combination of a function result (for the `SimpleLayoutInfo`) and an output parameter (for the `TypeLayout`) we use a new `TypeLayoutResult` that acts as a tuple over the two. I had hoped for a more significant cleanup by also eliminating the need to return the `SimpleLayoutInfo` separately from the `TypeLayout`, but the simple layout info is what the underlying per-API/-context "rules" implementations use (so that they can avoid all the complexity of `TypeLayout`), and refactoring to derive the simple layout infor from a computed `TypeLayout` would be a bigger refactoring than I was ready for. * fixup: typos
* Split front- and back-ends (#846)Tim Foley2019-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Split front- and back-ends This change is a major refactor of several of the types that provide the behind-the-scenes implementation of the public C API. The goal of this refactor is primarily to allow for future API services that let the user operate both the front- and back-ends of the compiler in a more complex fashion. For example, as user should be able to compile a bunch of source code into modules, look up types, functions, etc. in those modules, specialize generic types/functions to the types they've looked up, and then finally request target code to be gernerated for specialized entry points. The back-end code generation they trigger should re-use the front-end compilation work (parsing, semantic checking, IR generation) that was already performed. The most visible change is that `CompileRequest` has been split up into several smaller types that take responsibility for parts of what it did: * The `Linkage` type owns the storage for `import`ed modules, and well as the `TargetRequest`s that represent code-generation targets. The intention is that an application could use a single `Linkage` for the duration of its runtime (so long as it was okay with the memory usage), so that each `import`ed module only gets loaded once. For now, this type needs to manage the search paths, file system, and source manager, because of its responsibility for loading files. * A `FrontEndCompileRequest` owns the stuff related to parsing, semantic checking, and initial IR generation. This most notably includes the `TranslationUnitRequest`s and the `FrontEndEntryPointRequest`s (which used to be just `EntryPointRequest`s). It's main job is to produce AST and IR modules for each translation unit, and to find and validate the entry points. The front-end request does *not* interact with generic arguments for global or entry-point generic parameters. * The main output of both `import` operations and front-end translation units is the `Module` type, which is just a simple container for both the AST module (to service the reflection/layout APIs, and also for semantic checking of code that `import`s the module) and the IR module (for linking and code generation). This type captures the commonalities between the old `LoadedModule` (which is now just an alias for `Module`) and `TranslationUnitRequest` (which now owns a `Module`). * The secondary output of front-end compilation is a `Program`, which comprises a list of referenced `Module`s and validated `EntryPoint`s that will be used together. Layout and code generation both need a `Program` to tell them what modules and entry points will be used together (we don't want to just code-gen everythin that has ever been loaded into the linakge). The `Program`s created by the front-end do not include generic arguments, so they may provide incomplete layout information and/or be unsuitable for code generation. * A `BackEndCompileRequest` owns stuff related to turning a `Program` into output kernels for the targets of a `Linkage`. Most of the data it owns beyond the `Program` to be compiled is minor, so this is a good candidate for demotion from a heap-allocated object to just a `struct` of options that gets passed around. * The `CompileRequestBase` type is an attempt to wrap up the common functionality of both front-end and back-end compile requests. Most of it is just exposing the availability of a linkage and `DiagnosticSink`, so this type is a good candidate for subsequent removal. The main interesting thing it has is the flags related to dumping and validation of IR, so there is probably a good refactoring still to be made around deciding how options should be handled going forward. * Behind the scenes, the `Program` type is set up to handle some level of on-line compilation and layout work. The `Program` knows the `Linkage` it belongs to, and allows for a `TargetProgram` to be looked up based on a specific `TargetRequest`. A `TargetProgram` then allows layout information and compiled kernel code to be asked for on-demand, in order to support eventual "live" compilation scenarios. * The `EndToEndCompileRequest` type is a composition/coordination type that replaces the old `CompileRequest` in a way that uses the services of the various other types. It owns a few pieces of state that only make sense in the context of an end-to-end compile (e.g., there is really no way to "pass through" code when the front- and back-ends are run separately) or a command-line compile (everything to do with specifying output paths for files is really just for the benefit of `slangc`, and might even be moved there over time). * One important detail is that the `EndToEndCompilRequest` owns all of the string-based generic arguments for both global and entry-point generic parameters. The logic in `check.cpp` for dealing with those arguments has been heavily refactored to separate out the parsings steps that are specific to end-to-end compilation with string-based type arguments, and the semantic checking steps that result in a specialized `Program` (which can be exposed through new APIs that aren't tied to end-to-end compilation). It is perhaps not surprising that this change had a lot of consequences, so I'll briefly run over some of the main categories of changes required: * I changed the way that global generic arguments are passed via API (use `spSetGlobalGenericArgs` instead of the generic arguments for `spAddEntryPointEx`, which are not just for entry-point generics), which has been a change that we've needed for a long time. This is technically a breaking API change, although we should have very few client applications that care about it. * A bunch of places that used to take "big" objects like `CompileRequest` now just take the sub-pieces they care about (e.g., a function might have only needed a `Linkage` and a `DiagnosticSink`). This makes many subroutines or "context" struct types more generally useful, at the cost of taking more parameters. * In a few cases the conceptually clean separation of the layers breaks down (often for edge-case or compatibility features), and so we may pass along additional objects that are allowed to be null, but are used when present. A big example of this is how the back-end code generation routines accept an `EndToEndCompileRequest` that is optional, and only used to check whether "pass through" compilation is needed. We should probably look into cleaning this kind of logic up over time so that we don't need to violate the apparent separation of phases of compilation. * In cases where separation of layers was being broken for the sake of GLSL features, I went ahead and ripped them out, since all of that should be dead code anyway. * In many cases I increased the encapsulation of data in the core types to help track down use sites and make sure they are following invariants better. * In cases where code was doing, e.g., `context->shared->compileRequest->session->getThing()` I have tried to introduce convenience routines so that the usage site is just `context->getThing()` to improve encapsulation and allow changes to be made more easily going forward. * The `noteInternalErrorLoc` functionality was moved off of the compile request and into `DiagnosticSink`, since that is the one type you can rely on having around when you want to note an internal error. We may consider going forward if (and how) it should reset the counter used for noting locations on internal errors. * A few APIs now take `DiagnosticSink*` arguments where they didn't before, and as a result some public APIs need to create `DiagnosticSink`s to pass in, before going ahead and ignoring the messages. In the future there should be variations of these APIs that accept an `ISlangBlob**` parameter for the output. * fixup: missing include for compilers with accurate template checking (non-VS) * fixup: review feedback

* Initial support for uniform parameters on entry points (#815)Tim Foley2019-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Initial support for uniform parameters on entry points The basic feature this work adds is the ability to define a shader entry point like: ```hlsl [shader("fragment")] float4 main( uniform Texture2D t, uniform SamplerState s, float2 uv : UV) { return t.Sample(s,uv); } ``` In this example, the `uniform` keyword is used to mark that the given entry point parameters are *not* varying input/output flowing through the pipeline, but rather uniform shader parameters that should function as if the shader was declared more like: ```hlsl Texture2D t, SamplerState s, [shader("fragment")] float4 main( float2 uv : UV) { return t.Sample(s,uv); } ``` Allowing `uniform` parameters on entry points makes it easier to define multiple entry points in one file without accidentally polluting the global scope with shader parameters that only certain entry points care about. This feature is also more or less a prerequisite for allowing generic type parameters directly on entry point functions, since the main use case for those type parameters is for determining what goes in various `ConstantBuffer`s or `ParameterBlock`s. There are two main pieces to the implementation. First, we need to be able to compute appropriate layout information for entry points that include `uniform` parameters. Second, we need to transform the entry point function to move any `uniform` parameters to be ordinary global-scope shader parameters, to make sure that all other back-end passes don't need to worry about this special case. The latter piece of the implementation is, relatively speaking, simpler. The pass in `ir-entry-point-uniforms.{h,cpp}` converts entry point parameters that are determined to be uniform (using the already-computed layout information) into fields of a `struct` type and then declares a global shader parameter based on that `struct` type (and applies already-computed layout information to that parameter). After that, the remaining IR passes (notably including type legalization) will handle things just as for any other global shader parameter. The changes to the layout step are more significant, but most of the changes are just cleanups and fixes to enable the feature. The two major changes that enable entry-point `uniform` parameters are: * In `collectEntryPointParameters` we now dispatch out to a new `computeEntryPointParameterTypeLayout` function, which decided whether to compute the type layout for a `uniform` parameter, or for a varying parameter (what used to be the default behavior handled by `processEntryPointParameterDecl`). * The main `generateParameterBindings` routine was extended so that it allocates registers/bindings to the resources required by each entry point (using `completeBindingsForParameter`) after it has allocated registers/binding to all of the global-scope parameters (this addition is mirrored in `specializeProgramLayout`). The effect of these changes is that the `uniform` parameters of any entry points specified in a compile request will be laid out after the global-scope parameters, in the order the entry points were specified in the compile request. A bunch of smaller changes were made around parameter layout that are worth enumerating so that the diffs make some sense: * The `EntryPointLayout` type was changed so that instead of trying to *be* a `StructTypeLayout`, it instead *owns* one, in the same fashion as `ProgramLayout`. This commonality was factored into a base class `ScopeLayout`, and a bunch of edits followed from that change. * Because `uniform` parameters are moved out of the entry point parameter list early in the IR transformations, the logic in `ir-glsl-legalize.cpp` that tried to look up parameter layout information by index would no longer work if the entry point parameter list had been altered. Instead, that logic now looks for the decorations directly on the parameters. * The `UsedRange` type in `parameter-binding.cpp` was tracking the existing parameter associated with a range using a `ParameterInfo*` (which accounts for the possibility of multiple `VarDecl`s mapping to the same logical shader parameter), when just using a `VarLayout*` is sufficient for all current use cases. The overhead of allocating a `ParameterInfo` seems like overkill for entry-point parameters, where there can't possibly be multiple declarations of the "same" parameter, so avoiding these overheads was a focus when trying to deduplicate code between the global and entry-point parameter cases. * A bunch of parameter binding logic that was specific to GLSL input has been deleted completely. There was no way to even execute this code in the compiler today, and there is pretty much zero chance of us needing (or wanting) to deal with GLSL input in the future. This includes custom `UsedRangeSet`s specific to each translation unit, which were only needed for global-scope `in` and `out` varying declarations in GLSL. * A bunch of functions with `EntryPointParameter` in their names were renamed to use `EntryPointVaryingParameter` to help distinguish that they only apply to the varying case, while entry point `uniform` parameters are handled elsewhere. * The `completeBindingsForParameter` function was re-worked into something that can be used for both global-scope shader parameters (where we have a `ParameterInfo` and possibly explicit bindings) and entry-point parameters (where we expect to have neither). This helps unify the (fairly subtle) logic for how we allocate and assign bindings for resources, constant buffers, parameter blocks, etc. * A small change was made so that the entry-point stage is attached directly to top-level parameters of the entry point, and *not* recursively to every field along the way. This could be a breaking change for some applications, but it makes more logical sense (to me); we'll have to check if this affects Falcor. This change produces different output for several of the reflection tests, but the changes are consistent with no longer attaching stage information to sub-fields of varying `struct`-type parameters. * Because there is a bunch of repeated logic in `parameter-binding.cpp` that has to do with computing a `struct` layout for ordinary/uniform data, I tried to factor that into a single `ScopeLayoutBuilder` type, which handles computing the offsets for any parameters with ordinary data, and then also handles wrapping up the layout in a constant buffer layout if there was any ordinary data at the end. * A similar convenience routine `maybeAllocateConstantBufferBinding` was added because I noticed multiple places in `parameter-binding.cpp` that were trying to allocate a constant buffer binding for global uniforms, and they were wildly inconsistent (and in most cases used logic that would only work for D3D). * The main `generateParameterBindings` routine is significantly shortened by using all of these utilities that were introduced. I tried to comment the places that changed to explain the overall flow correctly. * The `specializeProgramLayout` routine (used to take a `ProgramLayout` from `generateParameterBindings` and specialize it based on knowledge of global generic arguments) had basically been rewritten with more explicit commenting/rationale for what happens in each step. It makes use of the same shared utilities as `generateParameterBindings` and `collectEntryPointParameters`. In terms of testing: * I added a test case to specifically test the new behavior, and in particular I made sure to include a mix of both global and entry-point parameters and also to have entry-point parameters of both ordinary and resource/object types. * I tweaked an existing test for global type parameters to use an entry-point `uniform` parameter instead of a global one, in an effort to migrate it toward being able to use an explicitly generic entry point. * fixups from merge

* Fix uses of dynamic_cast on types in reflection API (#731)Tim Foley2018-11-29
| | | | | | | The `Type` infrastructure uses a class hierarchy, but blindly `dynamic_cast`ing to a desired case doesn't always give the expected result, because a `Type` could represent a `typedef` (a `NamedExpressionType`) that itself resolves to, e.g, a vector type (a `VectorExpressionType`). In that case a `dynamic_cast<VectorExpressionType*>(someType)` would fail, even though the type logically represents a vector. The `Type::As<T>()` method is designed to handle this case, by "looking through" simple `typedef`s to get at the real definition of a type. The fix in this case is to use `Type::As<T>()` at various points in the reflection code (`reflection.cpp`) instead of `dynamic_cast`. This problem surfaced with a `StructuredBuffer<float2>` not reflecting correctly, because the element type (`float2`) is actually a `typedef` (for `vector<float,2>`), so I've included a test case that stresses that case. Getting the right output in the test required tweaking the `slang-reflection-test` tool to produce additional output for resource types (currently narrowed down to only affect structured buffers to avoid large diffs in expected test outputs).
* Add support for unbounded arrays as shader parameters (#725)Tim Foley2018-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Add support for unbounded arrays as shader parameters With this change, Slang shaders can use unbounded-size arrays as parameters, e.g.: ```hlsl Texture2D t[] : register(t3, space2); SamplerState s[]; ``` As shown in the above example, Slang supports both explicit `register` declarations on unbounded-size arrays and also implicit binding. When doing automatic parmaeter binding, Slang will allocate a full register space to an unbounded-size array of textures/smaplers, starting at register zero. Note that for the Vulkan target, an array of descriptors of any size (including unbounded size) consumes only a single `bindign`, so much of this logic is specific to D3D targets. Details on the changes made: * The single biggest change is a new `LayoutSize` type that is used to store a value that can either be a finite unsigned integer or a dedicated "infinite" value (which is stored as the all-bits-set `-1` value). This is used in places where a size could either be a finite value or an "unbounded" value, to both try to make standard math robust against the infinite case, and also to force code to deal with both the finite and infinite cases more explicitly when they care about the difference. * The public API was documented so that unbounded-size arrays report their size as `-1`. We should probably change this function to return a signed value instead of `size_t`, but that would technically be a source-breaking change, so we want to make sure we stage it appropriately. * The code that invokes fxc was updated so that it passes the appropriate flag to enable unbounded arrays of descriptors. I haven't looked yet at whether dxc needs such a flag, so there may need to be a follow-on change to add that. * The logic in the `UsedRanges::Add` method for tracking what registers have been claimed was rewritten because the previous version had some subtle bugs. The new version includes more detailed comments that attempt to explain why I think the new logic works. * The top-level logic for auto-assigning bindings to parameters has been overhauled to deal with the fact that a parameter that needs "infinite" amounts of a resource should be claiming a full register space for those resources instead. Whenever a parameter allocates any register spaces we want them all to be contiguous, so we have a loop that counts the requirements and allocates the spaces before we go along and dole them out. * When computing the layout for an array type, we need to carefully deal with unbounded-size arrays. In the case of an unbounded array of a "simple" resource type (e.g., `Texture2D[]`), we opt to expose the type layout as consuming an infinite number of the appropriate register, while in the case of a complex type (say, a `struct` with two texture fields), we need to instead allocate whole spaces for those fields. The logic here is more subtle than I would like, and interacts with the existing code that "adjusts" the element type of an array in order to make standard indexing math Just Work. * Similarly, when a `struct` type has unbounded-array fields, then we need to transform any field with infinite register requirements to instead consume a space in the resulting aggregate type. This case is comparatively easier than the array case. * The test case for unbounded arrays covers both explicit and implicit bindings, and also the case of an unbounded array over a `struct` type (it does not cover the case of a `struct` contianing unbounded arrays, so that will need to be added later). For this test we are both validation the output reflection data and that we produce the same code as fxc (with explicit bindings in the fxc case). * The reflection test app was modified to use the new API contract and detect when a parameter consumes `SLANG_UNBOUNDED_SIZE` resources. * Fixup: ensure unbounded size is defined at right bit width
* Improve support for non-32-bit types. (#643)Tim Foley2018-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main change here is to fill out the `BaseType` enumeration so that it covers the full range of 8/16/32/64-bit signed and unsigned integers, as well as 16/32/64-bit floating-point numbers, and then propagate that completion through various places in the code. More details: * The current `half`, `float`, `double`, `int`, and `uint` types are still the default names for their types, so things like `float16_t` and `int32_t` were added as `typedef`s. * We still need to generate the full gamut of vector/matrix `typedef`s for the new types, so that things like `float16_t4x3` will work (yes, I know that is ugly as sin, but that's the HLSL syntax...). * A few pieces of dead code from earlier in the compiler's life got removed, since I did a find-in-files for `BaseType::` and tried to either update or delete every site. * A few call sites that were enumerating integer base types in an ad-hoc fashion were changed to use a single `isIntegerBaseType()` function that I added in `check.cpp` * When compiling with dxc for shader model 6.2 and up, we enable the compiler's support for native 16-bit types via a flag. * The public API enumeration for reflection of scalar types added cases for 8- and 16-bit integers (it already exposed the other cases we need) * The lexer was updated to be extremely liberal in what kinds of suffixes it allows on literals. I also removed the logic that was treating, e.g., `0f` as a floating-point literal (it doesn't seem to be the right behavior). That would now be an integer literal with an invalid suffix. * The logic in the parser that applies types to literals was updated to handle a few more cases: `LL` and `ULL` for 64-bit integers, and `H` for 16-bit floats. * The mangling logic needed to be updated to handle the new cases, and I consolidated the handling of those types in their front-end and IR forms. * Removed the explicit `BasicExpressionType::ToString` logic, since all basic types are `DeclRefType`s in the front end, and we can just print them out as such. * As a bit of a gross hack, fudged the conversion costs so that `int` to `int64_t` conversion is a bit more costly. The problem there is that given an operation like `int(0) + uint(0)`, the best applicable candidates ended up being `+(uint,uint)` and `+(int64_t,int64_t)` because the cost of a single `int`-to-`uint` conversion was the same as the sum of the cost of an `int`-to-`int64_t` and a `uint`-to-`int64_t`. A better long-term fix here is to completely change our overload resolution strategy, but that is obviously way too big to squeeze into this change. * Type layout computation was updated to handle all the new types and give them their natural size/alignment. Note that this does *not* work for down-level HLSL where `half` is treated as a synonym for `float`. It also doesn't deal with the fact that many of these types aren't actually allowed in constant buffers for certain shader models. A future change should work to add error messages for unsupported stuff during type layout (or just make the types themselves require support for certain capabilities)
* Add support for more RasterizerOrdered types (#628)Tim Foley2018-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes #627 The front-end has support for `RasterizerOrderedBuffer` and `RasterizerOrderedTexture*`, but left out support for: * `RasterizerOrderedByteAddressBuffer` * `RasterizerOrderedStructuredBuffer` [Nitpick: these tyeps are all amazingly annoying to type. It is easy to want to write `RasterOrdered` instead of the bulkier `RasterizerOrdered`, and almost everybody does in casual speech. There's already the issue of wanting to type `StructureBuffer` (a buffer of structures) instead of `StructuredBuffer` (a buffer that is... structured?). Then you have `ByteAddressBuffer` which is just adding to the confusion because it is nominally a "byte addressable" buffer (so that `ByteAddressedBuffer` would actually make sense), but then actually *isn't* byte addressable in practice.] There were a few `TODO` comments related to this already, and this change was mostly a matter of doing a find-in-files for `RWByteAddressBuffer` and `RWStructuredBuffer` and adding matching `RasterizerOrdered` cases. The test I added just checks that these types make it through the front-end, and doesn't do any actual confirmation that they work as intended. It is worth noting that the handling of ordering in GLSL/VK is different from in HLSL ("pixel shader interlock" instead of "rasterizer ordered views"), so coming up with a cross-compilation story would need to be a later step.
* Major overhaul of Renderer abstraction, to support a new example (#624)Tim Foley2018-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original goal here was to bring up a second example program: `model-viewer`. While the existing `hello-world` example is enough to get somebody up to speed with the basics of the Slang API (as a drop-in replacement for `D3DCompile` or similar), it doesn't really show any of the big-picture stuff that Slang is meant to enable. There wasn't any use of D3D12/Vulkan descriptor tables/sets, and there wasn't any use of interfaces, generics, or `ParameterBlock`s in the shader code. The `model-viewer` example addresses these issues. Its shader code involves generics, interfaces, and multiple `ParameterBlock`s, and the host-side code demonstrates a few key things for working with Slang: * There is an application-level abstraction for parameter blocks, that combines the graphics-API descriptor set object with Slang type information * There is a shader cache layer used to look up an appropriate variant of a rendering effect by using parameter block types to "plug in" global type variables * There is a clear separation between the phases of compilation: a first phase that does semantic checking and enables reflection-based allocation of graphics API objects, followed by one or more code generation passes for specialized kernels. This example is certainly not perfect, and it will need to be revamped more going forward. In particular: * The output picture is ugly as sin. We need a plan for how to get this to load better content, perhaps even popping up an error message to note that the required input data isn't present in the basic repository. * The shader code is too simplistic. There isn't any real material variety, and the `IMaterial` abstraction is completely wrong. * The use of parameter blocks is facile because there are no resource parameters right now. Fixing that will likely expose issues around interfacing with Slang's reflection API. * The whole example exposes the issue that Slang's current APIs aren't really designed for the benefit of two-phase compilation (since our many client application has been stuck on one-phase compilation). * Global type parameters are actually a Bad Idea that we only did for compatibility with existing codebases. We should not be showing them off in an example of the Right Way to use Slang, but the language support for type parameters on entry points is still not complete. Of course, the majority of the changes here are *not* inside the example applications, and instead involve a major overhaul of the `Renderer` abstraction that is used for both tests and examples. The main thrust of the change is to make the abstraction layer be closer to the D3D12/Vulkan model than to a D3D11-style model. This is important for the `model-viewer` example, since it aspires to show how Slang can be incorporated into a renderer that targets a modern API. The most important bit is actually the use of descriptor sets and "pipeline layouts" a la Vulkan, since without these Slang's `ParameterBlock` abstraction won't make a lot of sense. Implementation of the abstraction for the various APIs has very much been on an as-needed basis. The current implementation is just enough for the two examples to work, plus enough to get all the tests to pass in both debug and release builds on Windows. A big missing feature in the API abstraction right now is memory lifetime management. The code had been trending toward something D3D11-like where a constant buffer could be mapped per-frame with the implementation doing behind-the-scenes allocation for targets like D3D12/Vulkan. I'd like to shift more toward a model of just exposing "transient" allocations that are only valid for one frame, because these are more representation of how an efficient renderer for next-generation APIs will work. That transition isn't actually complete, though, so there are problems with the existing examples where `hello-world` is actually scribbling into memory that the GPU might still be using, while `model-viewer` is doing full-on heavy-weight allocations on a per-frame basis with no real concern for the performance implications. All together, there are a lot of things here that need more work, but this branch has been way too long-lived already, and so I'd like to get this checked in as long as all the tests pass.
* Add options to control matrix layout rules (#583)Tim Foley2018-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Add options to control matrix layout rules Up to this point, the Slang compiler has assumed that the default matrix layout conventions for the target API will be used. This means column-major layout for D3D, and *row major* layout for GL/Vulkan (note that while GL/Vulkan describe the default as "column major" there is an implicit swap of "row" and "column" when mapping HLSL conventions to GLSL). This commit introduces two main changes: 1. The default layout convention is switched to column-major on all targets, to ensure that D3D and GL/Vulkan can easily be driven by the same application logic. I would prefer to make the default be row-major (because this is the "obvious" convention for matrices), but I don't want to deviate from the defaults in existing HLSL compilers. 2. Command-line and API options are introduced for setting the matrix layout convention to use (by default) for each code generation target. It is still possible for explicit qualifiers like `row_major` to change the layout from within shader code. I also added an API to query the matrix layout convention that was used for a type layout (which should be of the `SLANG_TYPE_KIND_MATRIX` kind), but this isn't yet exercised. I added a reflection test case to make sure that the offsets/sizes we compute for matrix-type fields are appropriately modified by the flag that gets passed in. In a future change we could possibly switch the default convention to row-major, if we also changed our testing to match, since there are currently not many clients to be adversely impacted by the change. * Fixup: silence 64-bit build warning
* Merge from v0.9.15 (#460)Tim Foley2018-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Fix bug when subscripting a type that must be split (#396) The logic was creating a `PairPseudoExpr` as part of a subscript (`operator[]`) operation, but neglecting to fill in its `pairInfo` field, which led to a null-pointer crash further along. * Allow writes to UAV textures (#416) Work on #415 This issue is already fixed in the `v0.10.*` line, but I'm back-porting the fix to `v0.9.*`. The issue here was that the stdlib declarations for texture types were only including the `get` accessor for subscript operations, even if the texture was write-able. I've also included the fixes for other subscript accessors in the stdlib (notably that `OutputPatch<T>` is readable, but not writable, despite what the name seems to imply). * Fix infinite loop in semantic parsing (#424) The code for parsing semantics was looking for a fixed set of tokens to terminate a semantic list, rather than assuming that whenever you don't see a `:` ahead, you probably are done with semantics. This meant that you could get into an infinite loop just with simple mistakes like leaving out a `;`. This change fixes the parser to note infinite loop in this case, and adds a test case to verify the fix. * Expose HLSL `shared` modifier through reflection. (#436) This is a request from Falcor, because the `shared` modifier can be used as a hint to optimize the grouping of parameters for binding. The intention is that `shared` marks shader parameters (including parameter blocks) that will us the same values across many draw calls (e.g., per-frame data, as opposed to per-model or per-instance). The mechanism I'm using here is to provide a general reflection API for exposing the `Modifier`s already attached to declarations. While the only modifier exposed is `shared`, and the only modifier information being exposed is presence/absence, this interface could be extended down the line.
* Overhaul implementation of [attributes] (#443)Tim Foley2018-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing code parsed all of the square-bracket `[attributes]` into `HLSLUncheckedAttribute`, and then went on to hand-convert some of them to specialized subclasses of `HLSLAttribute`. When attributes didn't check, they were left as-is, and no error message was issued, because at the time the compiler was focused on accepting arbitrary input. This change greatly overhauls the handling of `[attributes]`. Attributes are now declared in the stdlib, with declarations like: ```hlsl __attributeTarget(LoopStmt) attribute_syntax [unroll(count: int = 0)] : UnrollAttribute; ``` In this syntax, the `unroll` part is giving the attribute name (the `[]` are just for flavor, to make the declaration look like a use site; we could drop it if we don't like the clutter), the `count` is a parameter of the attribute, which we expect to be of type `int`, and which has a default value of `0` if unspecified. The `: UnrollAttribute` part specifies the meta-level C++ class that will implement this attribute (and corresponds to a class in `modifier-defs.h`). This syntax is similar to our current `syntax` declarations. I'm starting to think we should change it to something like a `__meta_class(UnrollAttribute)` modifier, and then use that uniformly across all cases (e.g., also replacing the curreent `__magic_type(Foo)` syntax). The `__attributeTarget(LoopStmt)` is a modifier that specifies the meta-level C++ class for syntax that this attribute is allowed to attach to. It is legal to have more than one of these. Attributes continue to be parsed in an unchecked form, so that we don't tie up semantic analysis and parsing more than necessary. During checking, we look up the attribute name in the current scope, and then replace the unchecked attribute with a more specific one *if* the checking passes. Checking proceeds in generic and attribute-specific phases. The generic phase includes checking the number of arguments against those specified in the attribute declaration (I don't currently check types, or handle default arguments), and then checking that at least one `__attributeTarget(...)` modifier applies to the syntax node being modified. The attribute-specific phase then applies to the specialized C++ subclass of `Attribute`, and does the actual checking right now (e.g., that step is responsible for actually type-checking things at present). This can obviously be improved over time. With this support I went ahead and added declarations for all the HLSL attributes I could find documented on MSDN. I also added a provisional declaration for the `[shader(...)]` attribute that has been added to dxc, but which is not yet documented. One important detail here is that lookup of attribute names needs to be done carefully, so that we don't let, e.g., local variables shadow an attribute declaration: ```hlsl int unroll = 5; // This attribute should *not* get confused by the local variable `unroll` [unroll] for(...) { .. } ``` The lookup logic already has a notion of a `LookupMask` that can be used to filter declarations out of the result. In this change I surfaced that mask through the main lookup API (rather than requiring a second pass to "refine" lookup results), and made is so that the default lookup mask does *not* include attributes, while an explicit mask can be used to look up *only* attributes. (An alternatie design we discussed was to follow the approach of C# and have the declaration of an attribute like `[unroll]` actually be `unrollAttribute`, with a suffix. I decided not to follow that approach for now because it seemed like printing good error messages in that case could require us to carefully trim the `Attribute` suffix off of names at times, and using the existing mask behavior seemed simpler.) To verify that the shadowing behavior is indeed correct, I modified the `loop-unroll.slang` test case. Smaller notes: * Removed the `HLSL` prefix from several of the C++ attribute classes * Made sure to actually validate the modifiers on statements * Special-cased checking for `ParamDecl` with a null type, because I'm re-using `ParamDecl` for attribute parameters, but can't give a concrete type to some of them right now * Deleting some old, dead emit-from-AST logic around attributes, rather than try to "fix" code that doesn't run (a more complete scrub of that code is still needed) * Fixed AST inheritance hierarchy so that a `Modifier` is a `SyntaxNode` rather than a `SyntaxNodeBase`. I have *no* idea why we have both of those, and we need to clean that up soon.
* Initial support for cross-compilation of geometry shaders to GLSL (#423)Tim Foley2018-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These changes are related to getting a first Slang geometry shader to translate to GLSL. There are some unrelated cross-compilation fixes in here as well. * Add direct support to shader parameter layout for GS output streams, so that they are reflected as a container type * Fix the declarations of the `SampleCmp` methods; they should always return `float`, independent of the nominal element type of the texture. * Fix up our handling of `__target_intrinsic` modifiers, so that we are a little bit more careful in how we detect something as being just a simple name replacement (e.g., `__target_intrinsic(glsl, "foo")` should make us output `foo(original, args, here)`) vs. a custom expression (e.g., `__target_intrinsic(glsl, "bar+1")` should output `bar+1` and not use any arguments, even without any `$` substitutions). * Don't emit the `[unroll]` modifier when outputting GLSL. Eventually we need to fully unroll loops for GLSL output anyway. * Inspect th entry point parameter list (from the layout information) when emitting a GS, so that we can write out the correct `layout` modifiers for input primitive type and output primitive topology. * Add a new case to `ScalarizedVal` to handle cases where an HLSL system value needs to map to a GLSL built-in variable with a slightly different type (e.g., `SV_RenderTargetArrayIndex` is a `uint` while `gl_Layer` is an `int`). For now this is only hanlding trivial cases (where a direct cast can achieve the result we want), but eventually it might need to handle things like conversion between arrays and vectors. * This is mostly just the infrastructure for the feature, and the actual enumeration of the correct types for all the system values is still to be done. * Handle a few more cases in assignment between `ScalarizedVal`. In particular, deal with cases where `materializeValue` is called on a tuple that has an array type, so that we need to construct the individual array elements. * Add translation for GS output stream `Append()` and `RestartStrip()` * Note that the translation of `Append()` seems to ignore its argument; this is because we desugar the operation during legalization for GLSL (see next item) * When legalizing for GLSL, detect an entry point parameter that is a GS stream, and translate it into `out` variables for its element type, and then rewrite any calls to `Append()` in the body of the entry point to be preceded by assignment to those variables. This works in tandem with the above translation of HLSL `Append()` calls into GLSL `EmitVertex()` calls. * We are detecting calls to `Append()` in a slightly hacky way, by looking at decorations on the callee to make sure that it is a function that is determined to translate to `EmitVertex()`. * Right now we aren't handling calls to `Append()` in other functions. It wouldn't be hard in principle to walk all the functions in the module and apply the translation (assuming we don't want to start supporting multiple output streams), but this wouldn't handle the passing of the GS output stream between functions. (This points out that there is a need for an additional type legalization pass that desugars away parameters of types that aren't actually meaningful on the target).

* Fix type lookup of global type argumentsYong He2018-01-03

* Add API for querying TypeLayout from a TypeYong He2018-01-03
| | | | | | Added two API functions: 1. `spReflection_FindTypeByName`, which returns a DeclRefType to the struct type with the given name. The function finds from all loaded modules in a `CompileRequest` for a decl with the given name, construct a `Type` object and cache it in `CompileRequest::types` dictionary. The subsequent calls to `spReflection_FindTypeByName` with the same name will simply returned the cached Type objects. 2. `spReflection_GetTypeLayout`, which returns a `TypeLayout` for a given `Type`. This function creates and caches the `TypeLayout` in the `TargetRequest` object that is used to create the `ProgramLayout`.

* More fixups for parameter block binding generation (#311)Tim Foley2017-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * More fixups for parameter block binding generation The bug in this case arises when there is both a parameter block and global-scope resources, all of which are relying on automatic binding assignment. If the parameter block is the first global-scope parameter that gets encountered, then it is possible for it to allocate regsiter space/set zero for itself, which confuses the logic for handling other global-scope parameters (which assumes that *they* get space/set zero). I've also made some fixup to the reflection test harness and reflection API code: - Have the hardness handle register-space allocations when printing, and be sure to only show their `index` and not their `space` (since that would be redundant) - Have the reflection API only auto-redirect queries on a parameter group type layout to its container type layout *if* the container type layout has a non-zero number of resource allocations. The problem that arises here is a `ParameterBlock<X>` where `X` doesn't contain any uniforms, so that no container is needed. In that case the container ends up with no resource allocation(s). * Fixups for test failures. - The thread-group size tests failed because they had shader parameters with no resources to back them (built-in `SV_` inputs), and the printing of those changed. I fixed up the baseline, but also had to fix a few bugs in the reflection test fixture's printing logic. - The GLSL parameter block test revealed a corner case of the existing logic: because we always need to generate a binding for the "hack" sampler (even if code doesn't end up needing it), and that sampler should always go in the "default" set (should be set zero), the user's `ParameterBlock` will always end up as `set=1` or later, even if there are no other global-scope parameters. - This will be fixed once we don't have to rely on glslang's annoying behavior in this one case, either because glslang gets fixed, or because we implement our own SPIR-V codegen.
* More fixups for Vulkan parameter block bindings (#309)Tim Foley2017-12-14
| | | | | | | | | I'm adding a small cross-compilation test to try to make sure that we are testing the binding generation for GLSL output. We probably still need a more complex test that uses multiple blocks, plus variables not in a block. The big changes here are: - Change the `containerTypeLayout` field to a `containerVarLayout` in the `ParameterGroupTypeLayout`, so that we can store the base offsets for the fields in a uniform fashion (even though these will all be zero). - Switch the emit logic to carefully use either the container or element var layout depending on what they are emitting bindings for. This involved adding something akin to the "reflection path" notion that Falcor has to use, but only for the emit step.
* Fix parameter block binding for Vulkan (#308)Tim Foley2017-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes #307 This ends up being a major overhaul over how type layout computation is structured and exposed. The big problems all arise around cases where both the "container" for a parameter block or CB, and the "element" type both use the same kind of resource. E.g., if you define a CB with a texture in it, then in Vulkan both the CB and the texture use the same kind of resource, and so if you query the CB's resource usage it will just tell you it uses two descriptor-table slots, but nothing more than that. Similar confusion still arises in the HLSL case, when a CB with a texture in it reports its parameter category as "mixed" so that a user might query for a category they didn't mean to. There were also cases in the existing code where a parameter block might expose *both* a register-space usage and another concrete resource type, which isn't right. The most important changes here are: - A `ParameterGroupTypeLayout` now has a more refined internal structure, consisting of: - A `containerTypeLayout`, which represents the resource usage of the buffer/block itself (e.g., if a constant buffer had to be allocated) - An `elementVarLayout` which stores the offsets that need to be applied to get from the `VarLayout` for an instance of this parameter-group type to the offsets of its elements. The `TypeLayout` for this variable layout should be the "raw" type of the block/CB element. - The `offsetElementTypeLayout` (formerly just `elementTypeLayout`) which represents the element type, but in the case of a `struct` element type, will have fields offset similar to the `elementVarLayout`. This is what all the old code used to use, so we need to keep it for compatibility. - When doing reflection on a `ParameterGroupTypeLayout`, we now only report the resource usage of the `containerTypeLayout`. This is technically a potentially breaking change in the public API, but I don't think Falcor will mind, since they actually want something closer to this behavior. - Add a new public API for querying the element variable layout of a parameter block of constant buffer. This could be used by savvy applications to fold the handling of CB element offsetting into some notion of a "reflection path." This would be required for applications that want to handle CBs or parameter blocks where the element type is *not* a `struct` type. - Remove old logic for applying an offset when creating a type layout for constant buffer element, and instead perform offsetting more uniformly later, by constructing the `offsetElementTypeLayout` from the `rawElementTypeLayout`. This is useful both because we want to keep both (the "raw" type layout becomes the type layout of the `elementVarLayout`), and also because we can decide later whether we even want to allocate a CB register for a buffer, based on whether it actually contains any uniform data. - Fix cases where we might end up with a parameter block type reporting both that it uses a whole register space (and thus should not expose the resource usage of the container/element type) *and* a constant-buffer register/slot. The latter should be hidden inside the regsiter space. - Clean up the `spReflectionParameter_GetBinding{Index,Space}` functions to just route to `spReflectionVariableLayout_Get{Offset,Space}`, using the "default" category of the parameter - Try to make the `GetSpace` query take into account cases where a variable also has an explicit `RegisterSpace` allocation. - This probably still needs some cleanup, since ideally we'd just move things into the `space` field on the `ReosurceInfo` and have an invariant that a variable *either* has a `RegisterSpace` allocation, or it has other resource infos, but never both... - Add some ad-hoc logic so that if the user queries for a binding index/space using a parameter category that doesn't actually apply (e.g., they query for a D3D `t` register when using Vulkan), we can optionally remap it to the resource type they "probably" meant. This is a mess of Do What I Mean code, but it is also what our users want right now. - Fix various bits of emit logic so that if a parameter block has a register space/set allocated to it, we properly output that as part of the binding information for it. - This is another thing that might be cleaned up if we rationale the way that things get split during legalization. - Add a GLSL case for emitting a parameter block variable as a `cbuffer`.
* Cleanups to `ParameterBlock<T>` behavior. (#304)Tim Foley2017-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | * Cleanups to `ParameterBlock<T>` behavior. These add some more realistic tests using the `ParameterBlock<T>` support, and show that it can work with the "rewriter" mode. Unfortunately, this code does *not* currently work with the rewriter + the IR at once. That will need to be fixed in a follow-on change, because I now see that the root problem is pretty ugly. * cleanup
* Add API to query stage of varying parameter (#302)Tim Foley2017-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes #301 The problem here is that if you have input GLSL code like: ```glsl // example.vs in vec3 pos; ``` and: ```glsl // example.fs in vec3 worldPos; ``` Then both `pos` and `worldPos` are reflected as global variables (parameters of the *program*), which both get bound to "varying input" resources, but there is no way to tell through the API that `pos` is a vertex parameter while `worldPos` is a fragment one. The original request in issue #301 was to expose parameters like this not as a global variables, but rather as parameters of the entry point in their specific file. That is, treat it as if the user had written, e.g.: ```glsl // example.vs void vsMain(in vec3 pos) { ... } ``` Doing that would unify the GLSL and HLSL/Slang cases a bit, but would require the Slang reflection API to lie about the structure of code the user wrote. At a more basic level, that would have been hard to implement because the current reflection API just exposes the underlying AST, and the AST *needs* to leave `pos` at the global scope so that when we go and spit GLSL back out we retain the original structure. This PR implements a more simplistic solution, where the user is allowed to query the stage that a varying parameter "belongs" to. For right now I'm only enabling this to work for varying parameters (but it doesn't care if they are entry-point or global-scope varyings). Despite what I said on #301, this should work for both the top-level parameter's variable layout, *and* any variable layouts for fields within its type reflection. In terms of implementation, I took the simple but wasteful route: every `VarLayout` now has a `stage` field that is by default initialized to `SLANG_STAGE_NONE`. When collecting varying parameters, I take advantage of the fact that everything bottlenecks through `processEntryPointParameter()` which takes an `EntryPointParameterState` so that I can set the `VarLayout::stage` field for any varying parameter in one place. While I was making this change, I also did a bit of cleanup so that the "official" names for the varying parameter categories are `VARYING_INPUT` and `VARYING_OUTPUT`, with `VERTEX_INPUT` and `FRAGMENT_OUTPUT` being "deprecated" in principle. I didn't do the bulk rename inside the codebase yet.
* Add support for global generic parameters (#285)Yong He2017-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Add support for global generic parameters (In-progress work) This commit include: 1. Update Slang API to allow specification of generic type arguments in an `EntryPointRequest` 2. Add parsing of `__generic_param` construct, which becomes a GlobalGenericParamDecl, contains members of `GenericTypeConstraintDecl`. 3. Semantics checking will check whether the provided type arguments conform to the interfaces as defined by the generic parameter, and store SubtypeWitness values in the EntryPointRequest, which will be used by `specializeIRForEntryPoint` when generating final IR. 4. Add a new type of substitution - `GlobalGenericParamSubstitution` for subsittuting references to `__generic_param` decls or to its member `GenericTypeConsraintDecl` with the actual type argument or witness tables. 5. Update `IRSpecContext` to apply `GlobalGenericParamSubstitution` when specializing the IR for an EntryPointRequest. 6. Update `render-test` to take additional `type` inputs, which specifies the type arguments to substitute into the global `__generic_param` types. This commit does not include ProgramLayout specialization. * IR: pass through `[unroll]` attribute (#284) The initial lowering was adding an `IRLoopControlDecoration` to the instruction at the head of a loop, but this was getting dropped when the IR gets cloned for a particular entry point. The fix was simply to add a case for loop-control decorations to `cloneDecoration`. * fix warnings * IR: support `CompileTimeForStmt` (#286) This statement type is a bit of a hack, to support loops that *must* be unrolled. The AST-to-AST pass handles them by cloning the AST for the loop body N times, and it was easy enough to do the same thing for the IR: emit the instructions for the body N times. The only thing that requires a bit of care is that now we might see the same variable declarations multiple times, so we need to play it safe and overwrite existing entries in our map from declarations to their IR values. Of course a better answer long-term would be to do the actual unrolling in the IR. This is especially true because we might some day want to support compile-time/must-unroll loops in functions, where the loop counter comes in as a parameter (but must still be compile-time-constant at every call site). * Add support for global generic parameters (In-progress work) This commit include: 1. Update Slang API to allow specification of generic type arguments in an `EntryPointRequest` 2. Add parsing of `__generic_param` construct, which becomes a GlobalGenericParamDecl, contains members of `GenericTypeConstraintDecl`. 3. Semantics checking will check whether the provided type arguments conform to the interfaces as defined by the generic parameter, and store SubtypeWitness values in the EntryPointRequest, which will be used by `specializeIRForEntryPoint` when generating final IR. 4.

Update `render-test` to take additional `type` inputs, which specifies the type arguments to substitute into the global `__generic_param` types. progress on parameter binding * Add a more contrived test case for specializing parameter bindings * update render-test to align buffers to 256 bytes (to get rid of D3D complains on minimal buffer size). * adding one more test case for parameter binding specialization. * Cleanup according to @tfoleyNV 's suggestions. * fix a bug introduced in the cleanup
* Add reflection API to get type name (#263)Tim Foley2017-11-07
| | | | | This is currently only useful for `struct` types. I implemented a special-case exception so that the auto-generated `struct` types used for `cbuffer` members don't show their internal name. I did *not* implement any logic to avoid returning the name `vector` for a vector type, etc., since they are all `DeclRefType`s and it seemed easiest to just let the user access information they can't really use.
* Parameter blocks (#245)Tim Foley2017-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Rename existing ParameterBlock to ParameterGroup We are planning to add a new `ParameterBlock<T>` type, which maps to the notion of a "parameter block" as used in the Spire research work. Unfortunately, the compiler codebase already uses the term `ParameterBlock` as catch-all to encompass all of HLSL `cbuffer`/`tbuffer` and GLSL `uniform`/`buffer`/`in`/`out` blocks (all of which are lexical `{}`-enclosed blocks that define parameters...). This change instead renames all of the existing concepts over to `ParameterGroup`, which isn't an ideal name, but at least doesn't directly overlap the new terminology or any existing terminology. The new `ParameterBlockType` case will probably be a subclass of `ParameterGroupType`, since it is a logical extension of the underlying concept. * Add Shader Model 5.1 profiles The HLSL `register(..., space0)` syntax is only allowed on "SM5.1" and later profiles (which is supported by the newer version of `d3dcompiler_47.dll` that comes with the Win10 SDK, but not the older version of `d3dcompiler_47.dll` - good luck figuring out which you have!). This change adds those profiles to our master list of profiles, and nothing else. * First pass at support for `ParameterBlock<T>` - Add the type declaration in stdlib - Add a special case of `ParameterGroupType` for parameter blocks - Handle parameter blocks in type layout (currently handling them identically to constant buffers for now, which isn't going to be right in the long term) - Add an IR pass that basically replaces `ParameterBlock<T>` with `T` - Eventually this should replace it with either `T` or `ConstantBuffer<T>`, depending on whether the layout that was computed required a constant buffer to hold any "free" uniforms - Add first stab at an IR pass to "scalarize" global variables using aggregate types with resources inside. - This currently only applies to global variables, so it won't handle things passed through functions, or used as local variables - It also only supports cases where the references to the original variable are always references to its fields, and not the whole value itself - Add a single test case that technically passes with this level of support, but probably isn't very representative of what we need from the feature * Fold parameter-block desugaring into a more complete "type legalization" pass The basic problem that was arising is that once you desugar `ParameterBlock<T>` into `T`, you then need todeal with splitting `T` into its constituent fields if it contains any resource types. Handling those transformations by following the usual use-def chains wasn't really helping, because you might need systematic rewriting that can really only be handled bottom-up. This change adds a new pass that is intended to perform multiple kinds of type "legalization" at once: - It will turn `ParameterBlock<T>` into `T` - It may at some point also convert `ConstantBuffer<T>` into `T` as well - It will turn an value of an aggregate type that contains resources into N different values (one per field) - As a result of this, it will also deal with AOS-to-SOA conversion of these types Legalization is applied to *every* function/instruction/value, so that it can make large-scale changes that would be tough to manage with a work list. This pass needs to be run *after* generics have been fully specialized, so that we know we are always dealing with fully concrete types, so that their legalization for a given target is completely known. This is still work in progress; there's more to be done to get this working with all our test cases, and finish the remaining `ParameterBlock<T>` work. * Improve binding/layout information when using parameter blocks - When doing type layout for a parameter block, don't include the resources consumed by the element type in the resource usage for the parameter block - Note that this is pretty much identical to how a `ConstantBuffer<T>` does not report any `LayoutResourceKind::Uniform` usage, except that `ParameterBlock<T>` is *also* going to hide underlying texture/sampler reigster usage - The one exception here is that any nested items that use up entire `space`s or `set`s those need to be exposed in the resource usage of the parent (I don't have a test for this) - When type legalization needs to scalarize things, it must propagate layout information down to the new leaf variables. In general, the register/index for a new leaf parameter should be the sum of the offsets for all of the parent variables along the "chain" from the original variable down to the leaf (we aren't dealing with arrays here just yet). - When type legalization decides to eliminate a pointer(-like) type (e.g., desugar `ParameterBlock<T>` over to `T`), actually deal with that in terms of the `LegalVal`s created, so that we can know to turn a `load` into a no-op when applied to a value that got indirection removed. - Hack up the "complex" parameter-block test so that it actually passes (the big hack here is that the HLSL baseline is using names that are generated by the IR, and are unlikely to be stable as we add/remove transformations). - Note: I can't make these be compute tests right now, because regsiter spaces/sets are a feature of D3D12/Vulkan, and our test runner isn't using those APIs.
* Reflection: allow querying of semantics on varying input/output (#224)Tim Foley2017-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is functionality required to support a Falcor bug fix. Most of the code to compute the right semantic name/index for a parameter was already present. This change adds: - Storage for semantic name/index on every `VarLayout` - Note: this is wasteful and should be optimized later - A public API to query the semantic name/index - The contract is that this API returns `NULL` if the parameter had no semantic - A bit of work in `parameter-binding.cpp` to attach semantics to varying input/output when traversing varying parameters. - Note: this is intentionally set up so that it associates semantics even with non-leaf parameters, so that an API user can query the semantic of a `struct` parameter and know that its members will be assigned sequential semantic indices from its starting value. - Support for dumping this information in reflection tests One notable thing that I did *not* change here is that the reflection test fixture doesn't report information on the output of an entry point, even though it really should. That should be fixed in a separate change, though, because it would affect many of the expected outputs.
* Implement notion of a "container format" (#213)Tim Foley2017-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | The big addition here is that the Slang "bytecode" is no longer treated as just a "code generation target" (`CodeGenTarget`) akin to DX bytecode (DXBC) or SPIR-V, but instead is a `ContainerFormat` that can be used to emit all the results of a compile request (well, currently just the IR-as-BC, but the intention is there). Getting to this goal involved some prior checkins that eliminated bogus "targets" that weren't really akin to SPIR-V or DXBC: `-target slang-ir-asm` and `-target reflection-json`. Those targets were really in place to support testing, and so they've been made more explicit testing/debug options. This change eliminates `-target slang-ir` and instead tries to allow the user to specify `-o foo.slang-module` as an output file name, that indicates the intention to output a "container" file that will wrap up all the generated code. I've also gone ahead and generalized the existing `-target` option so that we are actually building up a *list* of code generation targets. This is largely just a cleanup, since it forces code to be more aware of when it is doing something target-specific vs. target independent. For example, reflection layout information lives on a requested target, and not on the compile request as a whole, and similarly output code is per-target, per-entry-point. As a cleanup, I eliminated support for per-translation-unit output. This was vestigial code from back when I used to try and do HLSL generation for a whole translation unit instead of per-entry-point (which turned out to be a lot of complexity for little gain), and it was only being used in the `hello` example and the `render-test` test fixture - in both cases fixing it up was easy enough. I've stubbed out the old `spGetTranslationUnitSource` API, but haven't removed it yet.
* Move reflection JSON generation into separate text fixture (#211)Tim Foley2017-10-13

* First attempt at a Linux build (#193)Tim Foley2017-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * First attempt at a Linux build - Fix up places where C++ idioms were written assuming lenient behavior of Microsoft's compiler - Add a few more alternatives for platform-specific behavior where Windows was the only platform accounted for. - Add a basic Makefile that can at least invoke our build, even if it isn't going good dependency tracking, etc. - Build `libslang.so` and `slangc` that depends on it, using a relative `RPATH` to make the binary portable (I hope) - Add an initial `.travis.yml` to see if we can trigger their build process. * Fixup: const bug in `List::Sort` I'm not clear why this gets picked up by the gcc *and* clang that Travis uses, but not the (newer) gcc I'm using on Ubuntu here, but I'm hoping it is just some missing `const` qualifiers. * Fixup: reorder specialization of "class info" Clang complains about things being specialized after being instantiated (implicilty), and I hope it is just the fact that I generate the class info for the roots of the hierarchy after the other cases. We'll see. * Fixup: add `platform.cpp` to unified/lumped build * Fixup: Windows uses `FreeLibrary` and not `UnloadLibrary` * Fixup: fix Windows project file to include new source file This obviously points to the fact that we are going to need to be generating these files sooner or later.
* Add an explicit `Name` typeTim Foley2017-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes #23 Up to this point, the compiler has used the ordinary `String` type to represent declaration names, which means a bunch of lookup structures throughout the compiler were string-to-whatever maps, which can reduce efficiency. It also means that things like the `Token` type end up carying a `String` by value and paying for things like reference-counting. This change adds a `Name` type that is used to represent names of variables, types, macros, etc. Names are cached and unique'd globally for a session, and the string-to-name mapping gets done during lexing. From that point on, most mapping is from pointers, which should make all the various table lookups faster. More importantly (possibly), this brings us one step closer to being able to pool-allocate the AST nodes.
* Major naming overhaul:Tim Foley2017-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | - `ExpressionSyntaxNode` becomes `Expr` - `StatementSyntaxNode` becomes `Stmt` - `StructSyntaxNode` becomes `StructDecl` - `ProgramSyntaxNode` becomes `ModuleDecl` - `ExpressionType` becomes `Type` - Existing fields names `Type` become `type` - There might be some collateral damage here if there were, e.g., `enum`s named `Type`, but I can live with that for now and fix those up as a I see them
* Try to improve handling of failures during compilationTim Foley2017-07-19
| | | | | | | The change is mostly about trying to make sure the compiler "fails safe" when it encounters an internal assumption that isn't met. Most internal errors will now throw exceptions (yes, exceptions are evil, but this will work for now), and these get caught in `spCompile` so that they don't propagate to the user (they just see a message that compilation aborted due to an internal error). Subsequent changes are going to need to work on diagnosing as many of these situations as possible, so that users can at least know what construct in their code was unexpected or unhandled by the compiler.
* Handle `Buffer` types more like texturesTim Foley2017-07-17
| | | | | | | | Fixes #94 We'd been handling HLSL `Buffer` and `RWBuffer` in a one-off fashion, and that led to a lot of code duplication, and also to the issue that we weren't handling `RasterizerOrderedBuffer` at all. This change basically folds `Buffer` in so that it is conceptually a texture type (just with a unique shape). Hopefully all the other logic still works.
* Add reflection support for GLSL thread-group-size modifierTim Foley2017-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes #15 These are the modifiers like: layout(local_size_x = 16) in; Unlike the HLSL case, these don't get attache to the entry point function itself, so there is a bit more work involed in looking them up. Just to make sure I didn't mess up the HLSL case, I went ahead and added two tests for this capability: one for GLSL and one for HLSL.
* An array of resources in Vulkan only consumes one bindingTim Foley2017-07-13
| | | | | | | | Fixes #84 - When computing resource usage for an array type, don't multiply the resource usage of the element type by the element count foor descriptor-table-slot resources. - When reporting the "stride" of an array type through reflection, report the stride for descriptor table slots as zero, always.
* Add basic reflection query for checking if entry point is "sample-rate"Tim Foley2017-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | - This really just checks two basic things: 1. Was there any global variable declared with `in` and `sample`? 2. Did any code encountered during lowering referenece `gl_SampleIndex`? - This doesn't cover what HLSL could need, nor what we would need for cross-compilation. Consider it GLSL-specific for now. - In order to generate the information with even a reasonable chance of being accurate (not giving a ton of false positives) I tried to integrate the checks into the lowering process (so they only see code that is referenced, one hopes). - For this to work with my testing setup, I needed to make sure that lowering is always performed, prior to emitting reflection info - This change broke several reflection tests, because they had been using code that wouldn't actually pass the downstream compiler. I checked in fixes for those.
* Add per-entry-point information to reflection JSON dumpsTim Foley2017-07-12
| | | | | | - This also adds reflection API for querying: - Entry point name - Entry point parameter list
* Try to be more robust against un-checked types during lowering, etc.Tim Foley2017-07-10
| | | | | | | | - Try to handle `ErrorType` gracefully when computing type layouts - When outputting a `TypeExp`, if the type part is errorneous (or missing), try to use the expression part - Make sure to lower the expressions side of a `TypeExp` during lowering
* Some quick fixes to reflection API to try to help FalcorTim Foley2017-07-09
| | | | | | - Expand most queries that handle `TextureType` to handle `TextureTypeBase`, in hopes that this covers most uses of `image*` types in Vulkan GLSL - Adopt the quick fix from Falcor to return read-write access for shader-storage-block types. Something more comprehensive is probably needed if people want to do queries on these, since constant buffers should really be included, then.
* Add some reflection support for SSBO and `tbuffer` declarationsTim Foley2017-07-07
| | | | These are mostly copy-pasted from the existing `cbuffer` support, so there might be details I'm missing.
