Fixes: #4540
Changes:
1. Added `kIROp_ControlBarrier` to HLSL/GLSL emitting.
2. Added a method to track 'used' and 'unused' varyings for when legalizing GLSL. This allows us to assign correct offsets to automatically added varyings
* Added a `ZeroLSB` check to UIntSet for this purpose
* add missing return
* code comment adjustment
* cleanup
* comment and HLSL controlBarrier mistake
* assume space for glsl/spriv varying is irrelevant

`SubpassInput<T>` (#4462)
* Add case to `emitVectorReshape` for `vector<>` type, `scalar` value
1. Add new case
2. Add test
* fix warning
* fix warning
* Implement HLSL resource bindings and default type `float4` to `SubpassInput<T>`
fixes: #4440
1. Removed GLSLInputAttachmentIndexLayout modifier and the somewhat 'hacky' binding model 'Input Attachment' previously relied upon. This was changed to work with the slang-type-layout rules system. This change allows Slang automatic bindings, HLSL bindings, GLSL bindings, and translation of GLSL to and from HLSL bindings to work.
2. Added default argument `float4` to SubpassInput<T>.
3. Merged glsl.meta and hlsl.meta SubpassInput logic.
* fix InputAttachment attribute checks
fix InputAttachment attribute checks for HLSL and GLSL syntax
* remove unused var
* validate attribute correctly
Attributes do not have type information. We must check the type expression to validate attribute usage.
* remove hacky validation
type based validation before types are fully resolved is quite hacky and unstable to changes and wrapped types
* fix warning
* remove redundant `!= nullptr`
* remove extra `!= nullptr`
* fix some warnings/errors
* subpass capability to limit to dxc & remove default values in some functions
* revert logic to previous logic
revert logic to return if we have a binding regardless of if a VarDecl is given the binding
|
|
* Implementing `tbuffer` layouts.
1. Add to layout options 'TextureBuffer' layouts.
2. Add on to existing logic a way to allocate appropriate registers for TextureBufferType (this was made to work with parameter block logic).
3. Added asserts so objects missing a layout will gracefully crash
This means `tbuffer` now works for hlsl,glsl,metal targets, spirv has yet to implement logic for `TextureBufferType`.
* disable metal tests and fix emitting code a bit
fixing the emitting code means metal compilation emits a useful error (help point users/developers to #4435)
* fix warning

(#3881)
* Refactor memory qualifier decorators to be a bit-flag set.
replace GloballyCoherent, ReadOnly, WriteOnly, Volatile, and Restrict memory modifiers and decorations with a bit flag set to more efficiently manage memory qualifiers.

The following PR implements 8.14-8.19 of the [OpenGL-GLSL specification](https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/gl/GLSLangSpec.4.60.pdf).
Fully implements all functions and built-in type's, resolves https://github.com/shader-slang/slang/issues/3692 for GLSL & SPRI-V targets.
_Notes:_
Testing Tools:
* Fragment shaders cannot test computational results. Only OpCodes are checked for proper emitting.
Implementation Notes:
* SubpassInput requires an unknown image format.
* SubpassInput is disjoint from TextureType: __SubpassImpl (.slang) & SubpassInputType (Compiler) to reduce code generation required.
* SubpassInput required an additional input layout modifier, input_attachment_index, this was added as a new parameter binding attribute. Since the following qualifiers can overlap with different resources (`layout(input_attachment_index = 0, binding = 0, set = 0)`) input_attachment_index is checked for overlapping resource bindings separately from other qualifiers with `LayoutResourceKind::InputAttachmentIndex`.
* `GLSLInputAttachmentIndexLayoutModifier` was added to enforce function parameters only accepting `in` decorated variables.
* `in` decorated variables needed to have emitting modified to allow directly emitting the variable into function calls if used as a parameter, normally Slang has a "global variable" shadow as a "global parameter" through a copy. This does not work and is solved using `GlobalVariableShadowingGlobalParameterDecoration` to build a relationship of "global variable" to "global parameter", we then resolve this relationship and replace "global variable" uses later in compile.
* `AtomicCounterMemory` memory-constraint requires `OpCapability AtomicStorage`, `AtomicStorage` is invalid for Vulkan targets. glslang outputs for `barrier`, `memoryBarrier`, and `groupMemoryBarrier` `AtomicCounterMemory` as a memory constraint. This compiles as valid SPIR-V for Vulkan since `OpCapability AtomicStorage` is not declared. This behavior of glslang is undefined as per [3.31.Capability of the SPIR-V specification](https://registry.khronos.org/SPIR-V/specs/unified1/SPIRV.html#_capability). We will omit `AtomicCounterMemory` from our barrier calls.

* Fixes for Shader Execution Reordering on VK
There are some mismatches between the way that hit objects are
handled between the current NVAPI/HLSL and proposed GLSL extensions
for shader execution reordering. These mismatches create complications
for generating valid GLSL/SPIR-V code from input Slang.
Many of the problems that apply to `HitObject` also apply to the
existing `RayQuery<>` type used for "inline" ray tracing.
In the case of `RayQuery<>` we have that for *both* HLSL and
GLSL/SPIR-V:
* A `RayQuery` (or `rayQueryEXT`) is an opaque handle to underlying
mutable storage
* The storage that backs a `RayQuery` is allocated as part of the
"defualt constructor" for a local variable declared with type
`RayQuery`.
* The `RayQuery` API provides numerous operations that mutate the
storage referred to by the opaque handle.
The key difference between HLSL and GLSL/SPIR-V for the case of a
`RayQuery` amounts to:
* In HLSL, local variables of type `RayQuery` can be assigned to,
and assignment has by-reference semantics. It is possible to create
multiple aliased handles to the same underlying storage.
* In GLSL/SPIR-V, local variables of type `rayQueryEXT` cannot be
assigned to, returned from functions, etc. It is impossible to
create multiple aliased handles to the same underlying storage.
The case for `HitObject`s is signicantly *more* messy, because:
* In NVAPI/HLSL a `HitObject` is effectively a "value type" in that
it only exposes constructors, and there is no way to mutate the
state of a `HitObject` other than by assignment to a variable of that
type. It makes no semantic difference whether a `HitObject` directly
stores the value(s), or if it is a handle, since there is no way
to introduce aliasing of mutable state. Assignment of `HitObject`s
semantically creates a copy.
* In GLSL/SPIR-V, a `hitObjectNV` is, like a `rayQueryEXT`, a handle
to underlying mutable state. These handles cannot be assigned,
returned from functions, etc. There is no way to make a copy of
a hit object.
This change includes several changes to how *both* `RayQuery<>` and
`HitObject` are implemented, with the intention of getting more cases
to work correctly when compiling for GLSL/SPIR-V, and to set up a
more clear mental model for the semantics we want to give to these
types in Slang, and how those semantics can/should map to our targets.
An overview of important changes:
* Marked a few operations on `RayQuery` as `[mutating]` that
realistically should have already been that way.
* Marked the `HitObject` type as being non-copyable (an attribute we
do not currently enforce), and marked the various GLSL operations that
construct a hit object as having an `out` parameter of the `HitObject`
type (even if they are nominally specified in GLSL as not writing
to the correspondign parameter).
* Added a distinct IR opcode (`allocateOpaqueHandle`) to represent the
implicit allocation that happens when declaring a variable of type
`HitObject` or `RayQuery`, and made the "implicit constructor" for
those types map to the new op. This operation took a lot of tweaking
to get emitting in a reasonable way, and I'm still not 100% sure that
all of the emission-related logic for it is strictly required
(or correct).
* Added new IR instructions for `HitObject` and `RayQuery` types, and
made the stdlib types map to those IR instructions.
* Treat `HitObject` and `RayQuery` as resource types for the purpose
of our existing pass that specializes calls to functions that have
outputs of resource type
* Added a new test case that includes a function that returns a
`HitObject` as its result.
* Many test cases saw slight changes in their output (especially around
the relative ordering of declarations of `HitObject`s and `RayQuery`s
with other instructions)
* Remove debugging logic

Read/write resource types (what D3D/HLSL often refer to as UAVs) can be broadly categorized based on whether they require an underlying format (e.g., a `DXGI_FORMAT`) for reads, or not. D3D refers to the ones that require a format as "typed" UAVs (even though a `RWStructuredBuffer<MyData>` is clearly "typed" at the HLSL level). Vulkan refers to these cases as "storage images" and "storage texel buffers."
Under the D3D model, an application does not have to specify the exact format for a formatted/"typed" UAV in order for loads to work, but it *does* need to specify if an HLSL resource with a declared `float` or vector-of-`float` element type will be backed by data with a `*_UNORM` or `*_SNORM` format. This is where the `unorm` and `snorm` type modifiers come in.
Superficially, it might seem that adding this feature to the Slang compiler is "just" a matter of adding the two modifiers, which is easily done with a pair of one-line `syntax` declarations in `core.meta.slang` plus the corresponding AST node types.
Unfortunately the superficial view misses the detail that, to date, Slang has not had any support for *type modifiers* at all, and has only supported *declaration modifiers*. The distinction has so far not mattered, even with modifiers like `const` because, e.g., the difference between a "`const` array of `float`" and an "array of `const float`" doesn't really matter.
So, adding these two modifiers required introducing a lot of infrastructure along the way. Let's walk through what needed to happen:
* As described above, the actual `syntax` was added easily in the Slang stdlib
* I added a new subclass of `Modifier` for `TypeModifier`s in the AST, and added the AST nodes for `unorm` and `snorm` as subclasses of that.
* In order to syntactically support modifiers applied to types (e.g., `unorm float`), I needed to add a `ModifiedTypeExpr` subclass of `Expr` that represents a base type expression with one or more modifiers applied
* The parser needed some subtle new logic. There are two main cases where type modifiers will come up:
1. In contexts where we might be parsing a declaration (e.g., `const unorm float a`), we need to support a list of modifiers that might freely mix type modifiers and "declaration modifiers" which are not intended to apply to types. In this case we need to split the lis tof modifiers into the type-related ones and the declaration-related ones, and attach each subset to the appropriate place. This is very important for features like C-style pointers, where in `static const float* a;`, the `static` modifier applies to the entire declaration of `a`, but the `const` modifier *only* applies to the `float` type specifier, and *not* to the outer pointer type (the actual type of `a`).
2. In contexts where we are not parsing a declaration (e.g., a generic type argument), we need to support a list of modifiers and appy them *all* to the type specifier being parsed, even if some of them might not be appropriate.
* While working in the parser I implemented a certain amount of unrelated cleanup for code that was using raw `Modifier*`s to represent lists of modifiers, instead of the purpose-built `Modifiers` type.
* The `_parseGenericArg` case needed specific work, because it is an important case in the grammar where we need to parse *either* a type expression or a value exprssion, but cannot easily predict which we will see. The fix implemented for now is to always try to parse modifiers and, if we see any, to assume we are in the type case. Because of the rules for how modifiers in a C-like language inhere to the type specifier (and not necessarily the entire type), we need to refactor some of the type expression parsing routines to support parsing a "suffix" of a type expression.
* Note: I decided to be conservative and only make these changes in `_parseGenericArg` because that is place that is *needed* in order for user code with `unorm`/`snorm` to work, but in practice a user could still confuse our parser by using type modifiers as part of a cast (e.g., `x = (unorm float)y;`). While there is currently no reason why a user should want to do this, it *does* suggest that we need to be prepared to see type modifiers in other ambiguous "expression or type?" contexts. We have so far preferred to avoid looking up built-in syntax declarations like modifiers in expression contexts, because we want to allow users to create variable names that might conflict with some of the more surprising modifier keywords in HLSL (e.g., both `triangle` and `sample` are modifier keyword). A nuanced strategy may be required when we get around to closing this gap (which will be needed around when we want full pointer support, since a cast like `(const SomeType*)somePtr` is pretty common).
* In semantic checking, we now need a `visitModifiedTypeExpr`, which visits the base expression to produce a `Type` and then checks each of the `Modifier`s attached to it. During this process we need to translate the AST-level `Modifier`s into something that can exist properly in the universe of `Type`s. We introduce a `ModifiedType` subclass of `Type`, distinct from the `ModifiedTypeExpr` subclass of `Expr`. Furthermore, we introduce a `ModifierVal` subclass of `Val`, distinct from `Modifier`/`TypeModifier`.
* One unfortunate thing here is that it means we have both, e.g., `UNormModifier` to represent the parsed syntax, and `UNormModifierVal` to represent the `Type`/`Val`-level representation of the same concept. It is quite likely that we are near the point where we can/should consider having two distinct AST representations: one for freshly-parsed ASTs and one for semantically-checked ASTs. The `Type`/`Val` hierarchy clearly belongs to the latter.
* No actual semantic checking is currently being applied to the `unorm` and `snorm` modifiers, although we should in principle check that they are only being applied to `float` and vector-of-`float` types.
* In an attempt to simplify some of the creation logic and build a tiny bit of reusable infrastructure, I went ahead and added the skeleton of a dedupe-caching system in `ASTBuilder` so that we can easily ensure only a single `UNormModifierVal` and a single `SNormModifierVal` ever get created inside the scope of a single builder.
* TODO: Thinking about this, I'm now worried the deduplication does not mean I can make the simplifications I currently do in semantic checking by assuming that any two `UNormModifierVal`s will be pointer-identical. This is because we do not currently (IIRC) have the required "bottleneck" in the compiler where all ASTs get serialized after initial checking, and then deserialized when `import`ed into a downstream module, so that every AST node during a checking step comes from a single `ASTBuilder`. Hmm...
* If we can rely on deduplication to do its thing, then the `Val` and `Type` implementations of modifiers can be relatively simple.
* TODO: One issue here is that the equality comparison for `ModifiedType` currently checks for the same base type and the same modifiers in the same order. This works for now when we only have a small number of type modifiers and any given type will hae at most one, but in the longer run it relies on us to implement some kind of canonicalization scheme, which would both ensure that between `Modified(T, {A, B})` and `Modified(T, {B, A})` only one is allowed (that is, a canonical ordering on modifiers), and that we do not allow `Modified(Modified(T, {A}), {B})`.
* TODO: One other issues is that the `ModifiedType` case does not currently interact correctly with the `as()`-based casting for types (whereas that operation *does* interact in a semantically-correct fashion with `typedef`s). Fixing this issue in a robust way really depends on us re-architecting the `Type` system so that *any* `Type` can have modifiers attached, with modifiers affecting type identity/deduplication.
* The key place where `ModifiedType` creates a complication in semantic checking is type conversion/coercion. A user is likely to declare a `RWTexture2D<unorm float>`, fetch from it (producing a value of type `unorm float`) and then assign the result to a `float` variable, prompting for a conversion from `unorm float` to `float` (because they are distinct `Type`s).
* We handle this case in the core `_coerce()` operation by checking if either `toType` or `fromType` is a `ModifiedType`. If *either* one is a modified type, we apply logic to check for modifiers that are present on one and not the other. Basically we check which modifiers need to be "dropped" and which need to be "added" during conversion, and validate that these modifiers *can* be dropped/added without creating a semantic error. The only type modifiers we support right now *can* be dropped/added like this, so we are fine.
* TODO: When we add more complete pointer support, we could need logic here to validate when casts between, e.g., `const int*` and `int*` should/shouldn't be allowed.
* Note: Even opening the door to type modifiers at all creates the same kind of challenges for user-defined generic types (and functions!) since `MyType<int>` and `MyType<const int>` are distinct instantiations in a future where we support `const` as a type modifier. We *may* need to plan to restrict where modified types can be used, so that certain built-in generic types support modified types as arguments, but user-defined types don't (or at least might need to opt-in to get support).
* The result of a `_coerce()` that drops/adds modifiers is a `ModifierCastExpr`, which is a kind of no-op AST node that merely expresses that the conversion is allowed and valid.
* In IR lowering we currently do the simple thing and translate a `ModifiedType` to a distinct IR node called `AttributedType`.
* The change in terminology from "modifier" to "attribute" is to follow the way that these kinds of modifiers best map to the `IRAttr` case in the IR (rather than the `IRDecoration` case). We probably ought to do a careful terminology scrub here, because having this terminology mismatch between IR and AST could be a source of confusion.
* TODO: In principle, using `IRAttributedType` creates the same basic problems as using `ModifiedType`: code that is usin `as()` or similar operations to check for a specific subclass of `IRType` may not see the case they were looking for due to use of `IRAttributedType`.
* Initially I had hoped to avoid the problem by having the `IRAttr`s be attached directly as operands to an otherwise-ordinary `IRType`. E.g., a lowered `unorm float4` would be an `IRVectorType` with an "extra" operand that is an `IRUNormAttr`, something like: `Vector<Float, 4, UNorm>`. This sounds great (and looks great!), but runs into the problem that it is incompatible with the way we currently represent things like generic type parameters. A generic type parameter `T` is represented as an `IRParam`, and it does *not* make sense to have an additional `IRParam` to represent `const T` or `unorm T`, etc.
* The Right Way to solve this stuff at both the AST and IR levels is to avoid passing around bare `Type*` or `IRType*` in general, and instead use a value type that implements the needed policy more directly: something like a `TypeHolder` or `IRTypeHolder` (placeholder name). The `*Holder` type would abstract over the various "wrapper" nodes required to store all the additional data like attributes but, importantly, would *not* allow that extra information to be dropped or lost during operations like casting (e.g., note how the current `Type` implementation of `as()` loses information on `typedef` names, making our error messages slightly worse). This is actually quite similar to how we currently use the `DeclRef<T>` system to allow working with what is *usually* a `T*` under the hood, but in a way that ensures we don't lose track of any generic substitution information.
* During C-like code emit we have a process that turns an `IRType` into a chain of declarators as needed to emit a C-like declaration with pointers, arrays, etc. The `IRAttributedType` case needs to get folded into this logic. Basically, when we see an `IRAttributedType` we immediately emit any modifiers that are required to be in a prefix position, then recursively emit the underlying type with an extra layer of declarator that tracks the modifiers, so that we can emit any modifiers that should be placed in a postfix position *after* the type. As a specific example, our C/C++ back-end would want to use the postifx option to handle `const`, because then it can properly emit stuff like `int const * const *` and not the incorrect `const const int**`.
* The HLSL emit logic overrides the prefix case for handling type attributes, and uses it to emit `unorm` and `snorm` where they occur.
* One unfortunate detail is that (apparently) some downstream HLSL compilers do not allow the `unorm`/`snorm` modifiers to apply to `vector<float, *>` types, even though that should be semantically valid. Instead, they only support `float`, `float2`, `float3`, and `float4` explicitly. To work around this issue, we go ahead and change our HLSL emit logic so that when we encountered 1-to-4 component vectors of `float`, `int`, or `uint` we emit the type name using the typical HLSL shorthand. This is actually a signficicant change in our HLSL output, but it both seemed like a good fix to have anyway, and was also the only obvious way to address the downstream parser shortcomings without a massive kludge.
* As a result of this change the `half-texture.slang` test broke, since it was using raw HLSL as the expected output. I changed the test to do a DXIL comparison instead, which is our preferred way of testing cross-compilation behavior (since it is more robust in the face of small changes to our source output).

This change allows varying fragment shader inputs to be declared in a way that allows the `GetAttributeAtVertex` operation to compile to valid code for both D3D and GLSL/SPIR-V/Vulkan.
The key is that rather than just use ordinary `nointerpolation`-qualified inputs the code must declare these varying inputs with a new `pervertex` qualifier that marks them as *only* being usable with `GetAttributeAtVertex`. The `pervertex`-tagged inputs then translate to GLSL inputs using the `pervertexNV` qualifier
Note that this change does *not* include any enforcement of the requirements around how these qualifiers are used (and the compiler doesn't have enforcement for the existing operations like `EvaluateAttributeAtCentroid`). The underlying problem is that the inerpolation-mode qualifiers and explicit interpolation functions in HLSL constitute a kind of rate-qualified type system, but without any systematic rules. It seems wasteful to encode a bunch of ad hoc rules for this stuff as special cases in the compiler when the clear right answer is to implement a systematic approach to rates.
