* Introduce CDataLayout & -fvk-use-c-layout (#8136)Julius Ikkala2025-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Closes #8112. ~~The issue asks for a "C layout", but in this PR I use the term "CPU layout" because this naming was pre-existing in the codebase as `kCPULayoutRulesImpl_`. The primary purpose of this layout is to match CPU-side struct definitions with the shader side. I'm open to better naming suggestions, though.~~ Edit: switched back to using `CDataLayout` & `-fvk-use-c-layout`, as the CPU target depends on the object layout rules of existing CPU layout rules, but they're incompatible with actual shaders. So a new `kCLayoutRulesImpl_` was needed anyway. --------- Co-authored-by: Ellie Hermaszewska <ellieh@nvidia.com>

* Address issues with GLSL style global in/out vars (#6669) (#6998)sricker-nvidia2025-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Address issues with GLSL style global in/out vars (#6669) Asserts and segfaults were observed trying to compile a simple vertex shader like: ```` in int2 inPos; [shader("vertex")] main(uniform int2 test1, int2 test2, out float4 pos: SV_Position) void main() { // Bogus use of all input vars to prevent optimizing out. pos = float4(inPos.x, test1.x, test2.y, 0); } ```` Further investigation found that while replacing "uniform int2 test1" with "int2 test1" allowed for successful compilation, the resulting output shader would have overlapping location qualifiers. For example, compiling the above with "int2 test1" to glsl might give: ```` ... layout(location = 0) in ivec2 test1_0; layout(location = 1) in ivec2 test2_0; layout(location = 0) in ivec2 translatedGlobalParams_inPos_0; ... ```` This was because Slang does not actually support mixing GLSL style global in/out vars and entry point params. However, this is never checked for or noted in documentation. Slang source also assumes input shaders do not mix these and these assumptions ultimately led to the observed asserts and seg faults when using uniform entry point params. This change makes updates to throw an error when the compiler detects that it is trying to translate global in/out variables into entry point params when an entry point already contains parameters, allowing for compilation to fail gracefully. Certain tests have been updated to avoid mixing GLSL style global in/out vars and entry point params. This was mostly for tests that were using functions like WaveGetLaneIndex which use global in vars for certain platforms (see __builtinWaveLaneIndex). * Address issues with GLSL style global in/out vars - updates 1 (#6669) Update addresses review feedback to support mixing GLSL-flavored global in/out vars and entrypoint parameters when either all global in/out vars or all entry point params have a system value binding semantic. * Address issues with GLSL style global in/out vars - updates 2 (#6669) This update attempts to actually allow mixing GLSL style global in vars and entry point vars. Change attempts to recalculate offsets when adding the global input vars into the recreated entry point params layout. Additional updates were made to: -resolve further issues uncovered with entry point uniform params. -Address improper use of SV_DispatchThreadID in wave-get-lane-index.slang for metal. "thread_position_in_grid" is not supported for signed integer scalars or vectors. -Fix a spirv casting conflict due to the implementation of gl_PrimitiveID.get conflicting with PrimitiveIndex(). -Add a call to remove a global var in replaceUsesOfGlobalVar().

* Fix a bug with CUDA entry-point params (#2007)Theresa Foley2021-11-10
| | | | | | | Recent work that added support for translating DXR-style ray tracing shaders to work with OptiX seems to have accidentally applied its transformations even when compute shaders are translated for CUDA. As a result, compute entry points with `uniform` parameters at entry-point scope would be miscompiled to use OptiX calls that are not available for non-OptiX compiles. This change fixes the relevant pass so that it correctly opts-out on compute entry points, and also unifies some pieces of code that were being shared between a few different IR passes but that had gotten copy-pasted for the OptiX case. The fix has been confirmed by running relevant CUDA tests locally, but CUDA is still disabled in the default CI builds, so this change is not yet actively being tested to avoid further regression.
* Remove KernelContext wrapper from CPU/CUDA emit (#1440)Tim Foley2020-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Remove KernelContext wrapper from CPU/CUDA emit Currently, the CPU and CUDA C++ targets rely on a `KernelContext` type that is generated during emit, as a way to provide implicit access to things that were global in the input Slang code, but that can't actually be emitted as globals in the target language (because the semantics of global declarations differ). For example, input like: ```hlsl ConstantBuffer<Stuff> gStuff; // shader parameter groupshared int gData[1024]; // thread-group shared variable static int gCounter = 0; // "thread-local" global-scope variable void subroutine() { ... } [shader("compute")] void computeMain() { ... } ``` would translate to output C++ for CPU a bit like: ```c++ struct KernelContext { ConstantBuffer<Stuff> gStuff; int gData[1024]; int gCounter = 0; void subroutine() { ... } void computeMain() { ... } }; ``` Note that both `computeMain()` and `subroutine()` are non-`static` members functions on `KernelContext`, so they have an implicit `this` parameter of type `KernelContext`, which allows the bodies of those functions to implicitly reference `gStuff`, etc. by name in their bodies. Because `KernelContext::computeMain()` is a member function, we end up emitting an additional global-scope function to expose the entry point to the outside world, and that function is responsible for declaring a local `KernelContext` and invoking the generated entry point on it. This approach has several important drawbacks: * It complicates the emit logic for CPU and CUDA, with many special cases around when/how things get emitted * It complicates the implementation of dynamic dispatch, because what seems like a function pointer in Slang IR needs to be a pointer-to-member-function in C++. * It makes it difficult to have a non-kernel-oriented mode of compilation for CPU where a Slang function with a given signature gets output as a C++ CPU function with the "same" signature (not wrapped up as a member function of `KernelContext`. This change makes a step toward addressing these issues by making the introducing of the `KernelContext` type be something that is done in an explicit IR pass instead of being handled as part of the last-mile emit logic. The most important change is the removal of code related to `KernelContext` from the `slang-emit-{cpp,cuda}.{h,cpp}` files, with the equivalent logic instead being handled in a new pass in `slang-ir-explicit-global-context.{h,cpp}`. It should be noted that further cleanups to the emit logic should now be possible; in particular, both the CPU and CUDA emit paths are manually sequencing the `EmitAction`s instead of relying on the default logic, but at this point they should be able to just use the default. The additional cleanups are left for future work. The explicit IR pass does more or less what one would expect: it identifies global-scope entities (global variables and parameters) that need to be wrapped and turns them into fields of a `KernelContext` type. It then modifies all entry points to initialize a `KernelContext` as part of their startup. Finally, any code that used to refer to the global entities is changed to refer to a field of the context, with the context passed via new function parameters (the new parameter is only added to functions that need it for now). Transforming global variables into fields of a `KernelContext` type in the IR pass ends up dropping their initial-value expressions (since those were attached as basic blocks on the `IRGlobalVar`). To avoid breaking code that relies on global-scope (but thread-local) variables, this change also adds an explicit pass that takes the initialization logic on all global variables and moves it to explicit logic that runs at the start of every entry point in a linked module (`slang-ir-explicit-global-init.{h,cpp}`). This pass would also be useful when we get back to direct SPIR-V emit, since SPIR-V also requires initialization logic for globals to be emitted into entry points. One complication that arises when the IR is introducing the types for entry-point parameters, global-scope parameters, and the `KernelContext` type is that it becomes harder for the emit logic to utter the names of those types (they might not even have names, since `IRNameHint`s might get stripped). This created a problem since the wrapper operations that were being generated for CPU were taking `void*` parameters and casting them to the appropriate type. To work around this issue, we have added an explicit IR pass (`slang-ir-entry-point-raw-ptr-params.{h,cpp}`) that transforms the signature of entry points so that any pointer parameters instead become raw pointer (`void*`) parameters, with the casting being handled inside the entry point itself. One consequence of all the above changes is that for the CUDA target we no longer need a wrapper function to invoke the generated entry point any more, because the IR function for the entry point ends up having the correct/expected signature already. This is also the case for CPU when it comes to the `*_Thread` wrapper function, but this change doesn't try to eliminate the wrapper because of a belief that the `*_Thread`-level interface is going away anyway. Because the IR is now responsible for ensuring the signature of the IR entry point for CUDA and CPU is what is expected, I needed to modify the `slang-ir-entry-point-uniforms` pass to always create an explicit parameter for the entry point uniforms when compiling for CUDA/CPU, even if there were no `uniform` parameters on the entry point as written. This also ended up requiring some tweaks to the parameter layout logic to ensure that CPU/CUDA targets always treat `ConstantBuffer<T>` as a `T*` even in the case where `T` is an empty `struct` type (which happens when we construct a `struct` type to represent the uniform parameters of an entry point with no uniform parameters...). There are several future changes that can/should build on this work: * We should change the generated signatures for CUDA kernels, so that they don't rely on `KernelContext` for global-scope parameters. At that point we can avoid generating a `KernelContext` at all for CUDA, except when a program uses global-scope thread-local variables. * We should figure out how to make the "ABI" for dynamic-dispatch calls ensure that the kernel context is either always passed, or always *not* passed. Making a hard-and-fast rule as part of the calling convention for dynamic calls would ensure that they access through the context continues to work with dynamic calls (this change might break it in some cases). * We should figure out how to handle the layout for the `KernelContext` in cases where a program is composed of multiple separately-compiled modules. Right now the layout of the `KernelContext` requires global knowledge (as does the pass that introduces explicit initialization for global-scope thread-locals). * We should try to further clean up the CPU/CUDA C++ emit logic to fall back on the default emit behavior more, now that the various special-case approaches that were taken are no longer needed * fixup: restore build files to default configuration
* Add support for global uniform shader parameters (#1433)Tim Foley2020-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Adding support for global uniform shader parameters This change adds support for Slang programmers to declare shader parameters of "ordinary" types at global scope: ```hlsl uniform float gScaleFactor; void main() { ... *= gScaleFactor; ... } ``` The generated HLSL/GLSL/DXIL/SPIR-V output will be something along the lines of: ```hlsl struct GlobalParams { float gScaleFactor; } cbuffer globalParams { GlobalParams globalParams; } void main() { ... *= globalParams.gScaleFactor; ... } ``` The binding information used for the implicit `globalParams` constant buffer will be determined by the existing implicit parameter binding logic (which already had support for this kind of transformation). The reason this change is being pursued right now is because it is one step toward removing the implicit `KernelContext` type that is used to wrap the generated code for our CPU and CUDA C++ targets. Handling global-scope parameters of ordinary type requires an IR pass that synthesizes the `GlobalParams` structure type above, and that step ends up removing the need for the similar `UniformState` structure that was being used in the CPU/CUDA emit logic. A more detailed guide to the changes included follows: * The diagnostic for a global-scope variable that is implicitly a shader parameter was kept, but changed to a warning. Users can opt out of the warning by decorating their parameter as a `uniform` (since that keyword is already being used to mark entry-point parameters that should be treated as uniform shader parameters). * To simplify the task of finding the global shader parameters, the `CLikeSourceEmitter` type has been given an `m_irModule` member. The previous emit logic for `UniformState` was having to do a roundabout solution involving the `EmitAction`s to deal with not having direct access to the module. * Removed a few dead declarations in the emit logic (related to a much earlier point where emit was based on the AST instead of the IR). * Made the computation of type names in C++ emit take into account `ConstantBuffer<T>` and `ParameterBlock<T>`. As far as I can tell, these were being handled with some special-case hacks in the emit logic instead of being supported more fundamentally. It might actually be good to pass these through as `ConstantBuffer<T>` and `ParameterBlock<T>` in the C++ output, and allow the prelude to customize their translation (defaulting to defining them as `T*`). * Removed the special-case C++ emit logic for references to global shader parameters. There are now at most two global shader parameters to deal with, and the default emit logic (referring to them by name) does the Right Thing. * Changed the handling of entry points for C++ (both CPU and CUDA) so that it handles the bundled-up shader paameters for the global and entry-point scopes the same way. The main complication here is OptiX, where parameter data is passed very differently than it is for CUDA compute kernels. * Reverted changes to `ir-entry-point-uniforms` that had made its logic depend on the compilation target. The parameter binding logic was already responsible for deciding if a given target needed to wrap up its entry-point parameters in a constant buffer, and the IR pass was respecting that layout information. The current workaround had been removing the `ConstantBuffer<T>` indirection from this IR pass for CPU/CUDA, but then reintroducing the same indirection later on in the emit step. * Added an explicit IR pass with the task of collecting global-scope parameters of uniform/ordinary type and packaging them up into a `struct`, and then optionally packaging that `struct` up in a constant buffer. This pass bases its decisions on the IR layout information that was already computed, so it should match whatever policy choices were made at the layout level. * Changed the "key" operand on IR `struct` layout information to not assume an `IRStructKey`. The problem here is that the global scope gets a `StructTypeLayout` to represent its members, and this is convenient (rather than having to always special-case logic that handles the global scope), but the "fields" of that struct are global variables which do not have `IRStructKey`s associated with them. The simplest solution is to use the variables themselves as the keys, which required removing the assumption in the IR encoding. * Updated the IR layout process to compute a layout for the global scope of an entire program, and to attach that to the `IRModule` via a decoration. Updated the IR linking process to carry through that decoration to the linked output. This is necessary so that the IR pass that transforms global parameters can access the global-scope layout information. An important concern with this approach is that the contents and layout of the monolithic `GlobalParams` structure depends on the exact set of modules that were linked (and the order in which they were specified, in some cases). This isn't really a new thing with this change, but it becomes more important as we start to think of how to generalize things to better support separate compilation and linking. There are changes that can (and should) be made to the way that IR layouts are computed for programs (e.g., so that we compute layout per-module and then combine them rather than as a whole-program step). In this case, the problem of forming the combined/linked global layout can be moved down the IR level and not be reliant on AST-level information. Just changing the way layout and linking interact would not change the fundamental problem that global shader parameters as they currently exist in Slang/HLSL/GLSL are not readily compatible with true separate compilation. We either need to find a solution strategy that we can apply to allow existing shaders to work with separate compilation *or* we need to incrementally work toward removing support for global-scope shader parameters in favor of explicit entry-point parameters in all cases. * fixup: missing files * fixup: comment the new code

* User IR-based layout for all IR steps (#1084)Tim Foley2019-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change builds on previous work that moves toward a more IR-based representation of layout. Those steps added some instructions for representing layout in the IR (initially just proxies for the AST layout objects), and an explicit lowering pass that could build a target-specific IR module that binds parameters and entry points to layout information. This change aims to complete that work, in the sense that the IR representation of layout is now self-contained and does not rely on having pointers back into the AST-level representation. Achieving this requires two main kinds of work: 1. Update any code that used layout information derived from the IR (most notably all the `slang-emit-*` code) to use the new IR representation and its accessors. 2. Update any code that *constructs* layouts using information derived from the IR to construct IR layouts instead. The biggest new infrastructure feature in this change is support for "attributes" in the IR (I'd welcome feedback on the naming). An attribute can either be thought of like key/value arguments that can be added to certain instructions to encode optional data, or alternatively like a decoration that is referenced as an operand instead of a child. The value of attributes over decorations is that they can affect the hash/identity of an instruction (which decorations can't), while the advantage of decorations is that they can easily be added/removed over the lifetime of an instruction (which attributes can't). We mostly use them here to represent operands that are logically optional. Once attributes are available, the encoding of layout information into the IR is mostly straightforward: * An `IRVarLayout` has a fixed operand for its type layout, and can accept a few different attributes * Zero or more `IRVarOffsetAttr`s that specify the offset of the variable for a given resource kind. These are equivalent to the `VarLayout::ResourceInfo`s at the AST level. * An optional `IRUserSemanticAttr` and `IRSystemValueSemanticAttr` to represent the (possibly derived) semantic of a varying input/output parameter. * An option `IRStageAttr` to represent the known stage for a parameter. * An `IREntryPointLayout` has a var layout for the entry point parameters (logically grouped in to a struct) and another var layout for the result parameter. * There is a small type hierarchy rooted at `IRTypeLayout` where each subtype can add fixed operands and attributes that are expected to appear. It also supports `IRTypeSizeAttr`s that serve a similar role to the `IRVarOffsetAttr`s. * Structure types maintain the mapping of fields to their var layouts using `IRStructFieldLayoutAttr`s. With the encoding in place, most of the changes in category (1) (code that just *uses* rather than *creates* layouts) was straightforward. The biggest different beyond name changes was that everything needs to be fetched using accessors instead of bare fields. It would have been possible to stage this commit and make the diffs smaller by first introducing mandatory acessors to the AST layout types. The changes in category (2) were more involved. There were a lot of places in the existing code where a `TypeLayout` or `VarLayout` would be created, and then initialized piecemeal over several lines of code (and sometimes even across functions). Because of the way that layouts need to support many optional properties, it did not seem practical to just have monolithic factory functions that took all the options as arguments, so I instead opted for a builder approach. The builders for `IRVarLayout` and `IREntryPointLayout` are both straightforward, and honestly there is no realy need for a builder for entry point layouts right now, but I was trying to future-proof in case we decidd to add some optional attributes to them. The builders for type layouts are more involved because of the inheritance hierarchy. Each concrete sub-type of type layout needs to define its own builder type that customizes the opcode, operands, and attributes of the final instruction. The refactoring that had to go into this change was a nice excuse to clean up a few ugly warts in the AST layout code that were largely there to support IR use cases. While this change adds a lot of new infrastructure code to the IR, most of the client code has stayed the same or gotten simpler. One annoying wart that remains with this change is the notion of an "offset element type layout" for parameter group types. That idea was added to deal with a legacy feature in the reflection API that we realized was a mistake, but unfortunately having that "offset" layout handy made writing a few other pieces of code simpler so that there are use cases of the feature even in the IR. Removing those uses is do-able, but requires careful refactoring so it is best left to a follow-on change. Another thing that could be considered for a follow-on change is how much information should be specified when constructing a `Builder` for an IR type layout, and how much should be allowed to be specified statefully/piecemeal. It would be nice to force all the required operands to be specified up front, but `IRParameterGroupTypeLayout::Builder` doesn't currently work that way because so much of the client code that needs it involved a lot of stateful setting and would need to be refactored heavily to provide the necessary information up front.
* Initial work on representing layout at IR level (#1079)Tim Foley2019-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Initial work on representing layout at IR level This change starts the process of making the back-end of the compiler independent of the AST-level layout information (`TypeLayout`, `VarLayout`, etc.) so that it instead only relies on layout information that is embedded into IR modules. This brings us incrementally closer to a world in which the back-end could be run without the AST-level structures even existing (e.g., for an application that just wants to ship IR without any AST information for IP protection, while still supporting some amount of linking and specialization). The main parts of the change are: * There is a bunch of incidental churn related to specifying entry points by index instead of the `EntryPoint` object for certain operations. This ends up being a better choice because we can use the index to look up side-band information about the entry point that might not be stored on the `EntryPoint` object itself. In particular... * We expand the `ComponentType` interface to support looking up the mangled name of an entry point by index. In common cases (no generic/interface specialization) this would be the same as asking the `EntryPoint` for its mangled name, but in cases where we have specialized a generic entry point, the mangled name would include speicalization arguments that are only available on the `SpecializedComponentType` that wraps the entry point. This part of the change isn't ideal and there might be a better solution waiting to be invented. Note that we store mangled entry point names as strings rather than using `DeclRef`s because that ensures that the information could be serialized and deserialized without a dependence on the AST. * The `TargetProgram` type (which represents binding a specific `ComponentType` for a shader program to a specific `TargetRequest` that represents the target platform) is expanded to include an `IRModule` that represents layout information, in addition to the AST-level `ProgramLayout` it already contained. We create both of these objects at the same time (on-demand) to simplify the overall flow (so that any code that triggers creation of the AST-level layout will also ensure that the IR-level layout exists). * A bunch of code in the emit passes that was passing down layout-related objects has been eliminated. It appears that most of those objects weren't actually being used, so this is just a cleanup, but it helps ensure that the back-end steps are "clean" and don't depend on the AST-level information. The one big exception here is that the emit logic needs to know the stage for the entry point being emitted (to deal with one wrinkle in translating DXR to VKRT). * A big change (actually introduced by @jsmall-nvidia in a branch that this change copied and then built from) is to introduce some more explicit IR instructions to represent layout information, notably an `IRTypeLayout` and an `IRVarLayout`. For now these objects still reference their AST equivalents, but the separation gives us an incremental path to move information from the AST-level objects over to the IR ones. This work includes logic in `IRBuilder` to construct the IR-level layout objects from the AST-level ones on-demand, so that the existing code paths that try to attach AST-level layout will continue to work for now. * Because layout information is now embedded in the IR, the `slang-ir-link.cpp` logic loses a lot of cases that used to deal with attaching AST-level layout objects to IR-level instructions during the linking process. Instead, the linker now assumes that one (or more) of the input IR modules will have layout information associated with it, and the linker makes sure to copy layout decorations (and the instructions they reference) from the input IR module(s) to the output using its more ordinary mechanisms. * Inside `slang-lower-to-ir.cpp`, we add logic to construct an IR module in a `TargetProgram` that simply references the global shader parameters, entry points, etc. and attaches IR layout decorations to them. This is akin to the existing pass in the same file that constructs IR to represent specialization information, and both of these passes share infrastructure with the main AST->IR lowering pass. Eventually, it is expected that this pass will encompass more of the logic for copying AST-level layout information over to IR-level equivalents. * One small wrinkle with this change was that the output for an HLSL generation test case changed some of its `#line` directives. The old code was actually more inaccurate than the new, so this change just updated the baseline. It also added some logic in the linker to make sure that when an IR instruction has multiple definitions, we try to pick up a source location from any of them, in case the "main" one somehow didn't get a location. * Another small fix was that the key/value map in `StructTypeLayout` for mapping fields/members to their layouts was keyed on `Decl*` when it really should have been `VarDeclBase*`. This change should in principle be a pure refactoring with no functionality changes, so no new tests were added. It is unfortunately also a change that has a high probability of breaking at least *some* client code, so we may want to be defensive and mark this with a new major version number (well, a new *minor* version number since we are pre-`1.0`) to give us some room for releasing hotfixes to the old version if needed. * fixup: infinite recursion bug detected by clang * fixup: remove commented-out code
* Feature/ir entry point profile (#1068)jsmall-nvidia2019-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Split out EntryPointParamDecoration. * Add profile to EntryPointDecoration. * WIP for GS handling for GLSL. * WIP for StreamOut GLSL * Fixed GLSL geometry output. * Clean up - remove unneeded/commented out code from the entry point change. * Use Op nums to identify GeometryTypeDecorations (as opposed to contained enum).
* CPU uniform entry point params (#1041)jsmall-nvidia2019-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * * Made entry point parameters a separate entry point * Made CPUMemoryBinding work with entry point parameters/initialize constant buffers * Added isCPUOnly to bindings, because entry point parameters do not layout like constant buffer * entry-point-uniform.slang works on CPU * EntryPointParams -> UniformEntryPointParams Updated CPU documentation. * Update cpu-target.md to removed completed issues. * Only allocate CPU buffers if the size is > 0. Small update to cpu-target doc.
* Callable CPU code support (#1014)jsmall-nvidia2019-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * First pass support for compiling to a loaded shared library. * Improve documentation for cpu target. * Removed the SLANG_COMPILE_FLAG_LOAD_SHARED_LIBRARY flag. Use the SLANG_HOST_CALLABLE code target Document mechanism. * Fix typo in cpp-resource.slang In test code if the target is 'callable' we don't need to compile (indeed there is no source file). * Small refactor using CommandLineCPPCompiler as base class to implement VisualStudioCPPCompiler and GCCCPPCompiler. * Improvements around CPPCompiler. Mechanism to know products produced. Cleaning up products after execution. * Fix multiple definition of 'SourceType'
* WIP: Preliminary Slang -> C++ code generation (#1009)jsmall-nvidia2019-08-08

Disable C++ output for ParameterGroup. * WIP: Layout for CPU. * Fixes to CPU layout. * WIP: The uniform is output, but the variable definition is not. * WIP: Entry point parameters to global scope in C++. Handling of resource types (in so far as outputting) * Some discussion of ABI and different input types. * WIP: More C++ support around resource types. * WIP: Split up variables into different structures on emit. * WIP: Emitting C++ with wrapping up of 'Context' * WIP: C++ code has access to semantic values. Wrap in struct so can use method calls to pass shared state. Disable legalizeResourceTypes and legalizeExistentialTypeLayout * Fix structured buffer layout for CPU. * Remove testing/handling of global uniforms on CPU path. Typo fix. Changed CPU tests to use new CPU calling convention. * Check globals are working. Initalize context to zero globals. * Order the global parameters for C++ ouput by their layout. Note - that layout isn't quite working correctly because the StructuredBuffer<int> the int seems to be consuming uniform space. * Work around for reflection not having all data needed for layout ordering for C++ code. * Output constant buffers as pointers. * Entry point parameters accessed through pointer to struct. * WIP: Layout for CPU is reasonable for test case. * Only output 'f' after float literal if type marks as a float. * Cast construction works on C++. * Made IntrinsicOp::ConvertConstruct to make intent clearer. * C++ handling construction from scalar. Handle access of a scalar with .x. Check default initialization. * Comment about need for split of kIROp_construct. Release build works. * Added support from constructVectorFromScalar to C/C++ target. * Handling of in/out in C/C++. * First pass documentation CPU support. * Improvements to C++/C slang code generation documentation. * Small doc change to include need for mechansim to specify cpp compiler path. * Better handling of swizzling - allow swizzling a scalar into a vector.
* Use slang- prefix on slang compiler and core source (#973)jsmall-nvidia2019-05-31
* Prefixing source files in source/slang with slang- * Prefix source in source/slang with slang- prefix. * Rename core source files with slang- prefix. * Update project files. * Fix problems from automatic merge.
