* Clean up Slang IR representation of undefined values (#8708)Theresa Foley2025-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to this change, the Slang IR used a single opcode (`kIROp_Undefined`) to encode all cases of undefined values. The particular motivation for this change was a need to distinguish those undefined values that represent a load from an uninitialized memory location versus other sorts of undefined values. If transforming a variable into SSA form results in `undefined` values in cases where the a `load` was executed without a prior `store`, that represents an error on the programmer's part, and should be diagnosed. However, other cases of undefined values can arise during program transformation and optimization, and should not typically result in diagnostics being emitted. While it was not the original motivation for this change, it is also worth noting that the LLVM project has transitioned from initially using only a single `undef` instruction to having a more nuanced model, and the same factors that motivated their shift also apply to the Slang IR. Counter-intuitively, the semantics of undefined values actually need to be carefully defined. Concretely, this change splits the pre-existing `undefined` opcode into two sub-cases: - `kIROp_LoadFromUninitializedMemory`, to represent the case of loading from a memory location (such as a local variable) that has not been initialized. - `kIROp_Poison`, corresponding to the LLVM `poison` value. Our poison instruction is intended to have semantics comparable to LLVM's equivalent. Conceptually, any operation that is invoked with a poison value as input will (with a few exceptions) produce a poison value as output. One can think of the behavior of `poison` as similar to how not-a-number values propagate in floating-point computations: by default they "infect" the result of any computation they are involved in. This semantic choice helps to ensure that many optimizations end up being correct in the presence of undefined values, even if they did not specifically account for them. The `kIROp_LoadFromUninitializedMemory` case is comparable to the combination of `freeze` and `undef` in LLVM. An LLVM `undef` value has semantics that allow *each* use of that value to be replaced with a *different* arbitrary value; these semantics cause many optimizations to only be correct in the absence of undefined values. An LLVM `freeze` instruction can take an undefined value as input, and produces a single value that is still arbitrary, but must be consistent across all uses. The latter semantics are what we want, since a given `load` from an uninitialized memory location will yield an arbitrary-but-fixed value. Note that we intentionally do not have a direct analogue to LLVM's `undef` instruction, because of the way that `undef` causes so many complications when trying to write optimizations. We also do not add a `kIROp_Freeze` instruction in this change, but that is simply because we currently have no need for it. Existing code that was creating `IRUndefined` values has been updated to create either `IRPoison` or `IRLoadFromUninitializedMemory` values, as appropriate to the use case. Code that was checking for the `kIROp_Undefined` opcode has been updated to either check for both of the new opcodes (in the case of `switch` statements), or to use `as<IRUndefined>` to perform a dynamic cast to the common base type of the two new instructions. Note that this change does not alter the way that instructions representing undefined values are typically emitted as ordinary instructions in the block that produces an undefined value. While emitting `IRLoadFromUninitializedMemory` as an ordinary instruction is exactly what we want, the `IRPoison` case would actually be better represented in Slang IR as a "hoistable" instruction, so that there would only be a singular `poison` value of each type. Changing `IRPoison` to be hoistable would be a good follow-up change, but might run into more challenges depending on what assumptions (if any) the codebase is making about where undefined values get emitted. --------- Co-authored-by: slangbot <186143334+slangbot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Fix legalization crash when processing metal parameter blocks. (#8591)Yong He2025-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Closes #7606. When Slang compile for a bindful target, we will run the resource type legalization pass to hoist resource typed struct fields outside of the struct type and define them as global parameters and passing them around via dedicated function parameters. When we compile for a bindless target, we don't run this pass. However, Metal is a hybrid bindful and bindless target. We need to run type legalization for the constant buffer, but skip type legalization for parameter block. The previous attempt to support this behavior is to hack the type legalization pass to return `LegalVal::simple` when it sees a `ParameterBlock<T>`. However, whenever the code is accessing `parameterBlock.someNestedField`, the type of the nested field may get a `LegalType::tuple`, and now we will run into inconsistent scenarios where we have a `LegalVal::simple` on the operand val, and but the legalization logic is expecting that val to be a `LegalType::tuple`. This breaks a lot of assumptions and invariants in the type legalization pass, resulting unstable/fragile behavior. To systematically solve this problem, this change generalizes the existing legalize buffer element type pass to translate `ParameterBlock<Texture2D>` (and similar cases) to `ParameterBlock<Texture2D.Handle>`. So that such parameter block will always be legalized to `LegalType:::simple` during type legalization, and we will never run into any inconsistent cases. This allowed us to get rid of the hacky logic in the type legalization pass to try to workaround the inconsistencies.
* Rename some symbols related to pointers types (#8592)Theresa Foley2025-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that while this change touched a large numer of files, there are no changes to functionality being made here. The only things being done are renaming various symbols and, in a few cases, updating or adding comments for consistency with the new names. The core of the naming changes are: * Most things named to refer to `OutType` (e.g., `IROutType`, `IRBuilder::getOutType()`, etc.) have been consistently renamed to refer to `OutParamType`, to emphasize that the relevant AST/IR node types are only intended for use to represent `out` parameters. * The same change as described above for `OutType` is also made for `RefType`, which becomes `RefParamType` in most cases. One mess that this exposes is the way that the `ExplicitRef<T>` type in the core module currently lowers to `IRRefParamType`. This change sticks to the rule of not making functional changes, so that mess is left as-is for now. * Names referring to `InOutType` have been changed to instead refer to `BorrowInOutType`. The intention with this naming change is to emphasize that the Slang rules for `inout` are semantically those of a borrow (or at least our interpretation of what a borrow means). * Names referring to `ConstRefType` have been changed to instead refer to `BorrowInType`. This change starts work on clarifying that the existing `__constref` modifier was never intended to be a read-only analogue of `__ref`, and instead is the input-only analogue of `inout`. * The `ParameterDirection` enum type has been changed to `ParamPassingMode`, to reflect the fact that the concept of "direction" fails to capture what is actually being encoded, particularly once we have modes beyond simple `in`/`out`/`inout`. While this change does not alter behavior in any case (the user-exposed Slang language is unchanged), it is intended to set up subsequence changes that will work to make the handling of these types in the compiler more nuanced and correct. Breaking this part of the change out separately is primarily motivated by a desire to minimize the effort for reviewers. --------- Co-authored-by: slangbot <186143334+slangbot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Legalize the Entry-point for WGSL (#5498)Jay Kwak2024-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Legalize the Entry-point for WGSL The return type of the entry-point needs to be legalized when targeting WGSL. This commit flattens the nested-structs of the return type and the input parameters of the entry-point. Most of code is copied from the legalization code for Metal. The following functions are exactly same to the implementation for Metal or almost same. - flattenInputParameters() : 136 lines - reportUnsupportedSystemAttribute() : 7 lines - ensureResultStructHasUserSemantic() : 46 lines - struct MapStructToFlatStruct : 176 lines - flattenNestedStructs() : 95 lines - maybeFlattenNestedStructs() : 42 lines - _replaceAllReturnInst() : 19 lines - _returnNonOverlappingAttributeIndex() : 16 lines - _replaceAttributeOfLayout() : 23 lines - tryConvertValue() : 41 lines - legalizeSystemValueParameters() : 11 lines They need to be refactored to reduce the duplication later. The test case, `tests/compute/assoctype-lookup.slang`, had a bug that the compute shader was trying to use the varying input/output with the user defined semantics. This commit removes the user defined semantics, because the compute shaders cannot use the user defined semantics. --------- Co-authored-by: slangbot <186143334+slangbot@users.noreply.github.com>

WGSL-style headers: fn Func(...) -> ReturnType fn VoidFunc(...) This change allows the header style to be overloaded, in order to accomodate WGSL-style headers as required to resolve issue #4807, but retains normal C-style headers as the default implementation. [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/#function-declaration-sec * C-like emitter: Allow emission of switch case selectors to be overloaded The C-like emitter will emit code like this: switch(a.x) { case 0: case 1: { ... } break; ... } This is not allowed in WGSL. Instead, selectors for cases that share a body must [1] be separated by commas, like this: switch(a.x) { case 0, 1: { ... } break; ... } To prepare for addressing issue #4807, this patch makes the emission of switch case selectors overloadable. [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/#syntax-case_selectors * C-like emitter: Support WGSL-style declarations This patch helps to address issue 4807. C-like languages declare variables like this: i32 a; WGSL declares variables like this: var a : i32 The patch introduces overloads so that the forthcoming WGSL emitter can output WGSL-style declarations, which helps to resolve #4807. * C-like emitter: Support overloading of declarators Unlike C-like languages, WGSL does not support the following types at the syntax level, via declarators: - arrays - pointers - references For this reason, this patch introduces support for overloading the declarator emitter, in order to help address issue #4807. C-like languages: int a[3]; // Array-ness of type is mixed into the "declarator" WGSL: var a : array<int, 3>; // Array-ness of type is part of the... type_specifier! * C-like emitter: Allow struct declaration separator to be overridden C-like languages use ';' as a separator, and languages like e.g. WGSL use ','. This change prepares for addressing issue #4807. * C-like emitter: Allow overriding of whether pointer-like syntax is necessary Things like e.g. structured buffers map to "ptr-to-array" in WGSL, but ptr-typed expressions don't always need C-style pointer-like syntax. Therefore, make it overrideable whether or not such syntax is emitted in various cases in order to address #4807. * C-like emitter: Emit parenthesis to avoid warning about & and + precedence This helps with #4807 because WGSL compilers (e.g. Tint) treat absence of parenthesis as an error. * C-like emitter: Add hook for emitting struct field attributes WGSL requires @align attributes to specify explicit field alignment in certain cases. Thus, this patch prepares for addressing #4807. * C-like emitter: Add hook for emitting global param types Declarations of structured buffers map to global array declarations in WGSL. However, in all other cases such as when structured buffers are used in operands, their types map to *ptr*-to-array. This patch makes it possible for the WGSL back-end to say that structured buffers generally map to "ptr-to-array" types, but still have a special case of just "array" when declaring the global shader parameter. Thus, this patch helps with addressing #4807. * IR lowering: Use std140 for WGSL uniform buffers This patch just cuts out some logic that prevented std140 to be chosen for WGSL uniform buffers. Note that WGSL buffers in the uniform address space is not quite std140, but for now it's close enough to avoid compile issues. Later on, a custom layout should be created for WGSL uniform buffers. When that's done, this change will be revisited, but for now it helps to resolve #4807. * Don't emit line directives in WGSL by default WGSL does not support line directives [1]. The plan currently seems to be to instead support source-map [2]. This is part of addressing issue #4807. [1] https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/606 [2] https://github.com/mozilla/source-map * WGSL IR legalization: Map SV's The implementation closely follows the cooresponding one for Metal. Supported: - DispatchThreadID - GroupID - GroupThreadID - GroupThreadID Unsupported: - GSInstanceID This is not complete, but it helps to address #4807. * WGSL emitter: Add support for basic language constructs A lot of the basics are added in order to generate correct WGSL code for basic Slang language constructs. This addresses issue #4807. This adds support for at least the following: - statments - if statements - ternary operator - while statement - for statements - variable declarations - switch statements - Note: Slang may emit non-constant case expressions, see issue 4834 - literals - integer literals - u?int[16|32|64]_t - float and half literals - bool literals - vector literals and splatting (e.g 1.xxx) - function definitions - assignments - +=, *=, /= - array assignments - vector assignments/updates - swizzles of other vectors - from matrix rows ('m[i]' notation) - from matrix cols (using swizzle notation, e.g 'm._11_12_13') - matrix assignments/updates - to rows ('m[i]' notation) - to cols (using swizzle notation, e.g 'm._11_12_13') - declarations - arrays [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/#syntax-switch_body * Add some WGSL capabilities This patch registers some WGSL capabilities required to pass many of the initial compute shader compile tests. Many capabilities still remain to be added -- this is just an initial set to help resolve issue #4807. - asint - min and max - cos and sin - all and any * WGSL and C-like emitters: Add hack to bitcast case expression In WGSL, the switch condition and case types must match. https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/#switch-statement Slang currently allows these types to mismatch, as pointed out in #4921. Issue #4921 should eventually be addressed in the front-end by a patch like [1]. However, at the moment that would break Falcor tests. Thus, this patch temporarily works around the issue in the WGSL emitter only in order to help resolve #4807. In the future, the Falcor tests should be fixed, this patch should be dropped and [1] should be merged instead. [1] a32156ef52f43b8503b2c77f2f1d51220ab9bdea
