An earlier refactoring pass over the compiler codebase split the
type that had been called `CompileRequest` into three distinct
pieces:
* `FrontEndCompileRequest` which was supposed to own state and
options related to running the compiler front end and producing
IR + reflection (e.g., what translation units and source
files/strings are included).
* `BackEndCompileRequest` which was supposed to own state and options
related to running the compiler back end to translate the IR
for a `ComponentType` (program) into output code. (Note that the
`BackEndCompileRequest` was conceived of as orthogonal to the
`TargetRequest`s, which store per-target and target-specific
options.)
* `EndToEndCompileRequest` which was an umbrella object that owns
separate front-end and back-end requests, plus any state that is
only relevant when doing a true end-to-end compile (such as the
kinds of compiles initiated with `slangc`). As originally conceived,
the only state that this type was supposed to own was stuff related
to "pass-through" compilation, as well as state related to writing
of generated code to output files.
That refactoring work was very useful at the time, because it allowed
us to "scrub" the back end compilation steps to remove all
dependencies on front-end and AST state (this was important for our
goals of enabling linking and codegen from serialized Slang IR).
At this point, however, it is clear that the hierarchy that was built
up serves very little purpose:
* The `BackEndCompileRequest` type is only used in two places:
* As part of an `EndToEndCompileRequest`, where the settings on
the `BackEndCompileRequest` can be configured, but only through
the `EndToEndCompileRequest`
* As part of on-demand code generation through the `IComponentType`
APIs. In this case, the settings stored on the
`BackEndCompileRequest` are not accessible to the application
at all, and will always use their default values, so that
instantiating a "request" object doesn't really make any sense.
* The `FrontEndCompileRequest` type has a similar situation:
* Front-end compilation as part of an `EndToEndCompileRequest`
supports user configuration of `FrontEndCompileRequest` settings,
but only through the `EndToEndCompileRequest`
* Front-end compilation triggered by an `import` or a `loadModule()`
call does not support user configuration of settings at all. It
will always derive all relevant settings from thsoe on the
session ("linkage").
In addition, subsequent changes have been made to the compiler that
show a bit of a "code smell" and/or forward-looking worries for this
decomposition:
* In some cases we've had to add the same setting to multiple types
in the breakdown (front-end, back-end, end-to-end, linkage, target,
etc.) which makes it harder for us to validate that all the possible
mixtures of state work correctly.
* Related to the above, in some cases we have manual logic that copies
state from one of the objects in the breakdown to another, in order
to ensure that the user's intention is actually followed.
* As a forward-looking concern, it seems that developers have sometimes
added new configuration options and state to places that don't really
make sense according to the rationale of the original decomposition
(e.g., we probably don't want to have a lot of state that is only
available via end-to-end requests, given that the API structure is
meant to push users *away* from end-to-end compiles).
As a result of all of the above, I've been planning a large refactor
with the following big-picture goals:
* Eliminate `BackEndCompileRequest`
* Move all relevant state/options from the back-end request to
the end-to-end request, since that is the only place they could
be set anyway.
* Introduce a transient "context" type to be used for the duration
of code generation that serves the main functions that back-end
requests really served in the codebase
* Make `EndToEndCompileRequest` be a subclass of
`FrontEndCompileRequest`
* Consider addding a transient "context" type for front-end
compiles that can be used in `import`-like cases rather than
needing a full front-end request object. If this works, then
eliminate `FrontEndCompileRequest` and be back to world with
just a single `CompileRequest` type
* Move *all* compiler configuration options to a distinct type (named
something like `CompilerConfig` or `CompilerOptions` or whatever)
which stores setting as key-value pairs, and has a notion of
"inheritance" such that one configuration can extend or build on top
of another. Make all the relevant types use this catch-all structure
instead of redundantly storing flags in many places.
This change deals with the first of those bullets: removeal of
`BackEndCompileRequest`. The addition of the `CodeGenContext` type is
perhaps an unncessary additional step, but making that change helps
clean up a bunch of the code related to per-target code generation,
so I think it is the right choice.

* 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.

* Backend for Multiple Entry Points
Introduces the basic backend on the compiler for zero or more entry
points. Entry points have been extended to lists for several functions,
with loopFunctions have been extended to take in entry points and
indices as appropriate, to allow for multiple entry points once the
frontend is expanded. Several functions are currently being assumed to
have a single entry point for simplicity and provide a work in progress
commit.

* 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.

This change adds back a little bit of explicit support for global constants in the IR, after a previous change completely removed the existing `IRGlobalConstant` node type.
The new `IRGlobalConstant` is *not* a parent instruction, and doesn't function at all like the old one.
Instead it is effectively a simple instruction that takes zero or one operands:
* The zero-operand case represents a constant with unknown value. This would usually come from another module, and thus would have an `[import(...)]` linkage decoration, so that after linking it resolves to a constant with a known value.
* In the one-operand case, the single operand represents the value of the constant, so that the operation semantically behaves like an identity function. It exists just to give decorations something to "attach" to, so that a global constant with a value can have, e.g., an `[export(...)]` decoration to establish linkage.
The IR lowering pass was updated to create the new node type to wrap any global constants. For now we do this both for global `static const` variables and function-scope `static const`, although the latter doesn't really need the extra indirection.
The IR linking logic was extended to handle linking of global constants akin to how other global instructions are handled. The new logic is mostly boilerplate, and it is likely that a refactor of the linking logic would eliminate the need for this kind of per-instruction-opcode handling of IR instructions that can have linkage.
A custom pass was added that is intended to be run right after linking (it could arguably be folded into `linkIR()`, but I thought it was safer to keep each pass as small as possible). This pass replaces any `IRGlobalConstant` that has a value (operand) with that value, so that global constants should be eliminated after the linking step. This ensures that downstream optimization/transformation passes don't have to deal with the possibility of global constants.
Almost all the existing passes would Just Work if global constants were left in the IR. The two big exceptions are:
* Anything that relies on testing `IRInst*` identity as a way to test for things having the same value would break, since a global constant is a distinct `IRInst*` from its value.
* The type legalization pass doesn't handle `IRGlobalConstant` instructions with non-simple types. This could be added if we ever wanted it, but it seemed silly to write this code now if it would always be dead (and thus untested).
I went ahead and updated the emit logic to handle an `IRGlobalConstant`s that still existing in the IR module at emit time, since the amount of code required was small so that being robust to that case seemed safest (e.g., in case we ever want to have a path that emits code directly while skipping some/all of our IR transformation passes).
There should be no visible changes to the functionality of the compiler with this change, but it should help make IR dumps from the front-end more clear/explicit (since each constant will be a distinct instruction with its own name), and paves the way for supporting proper cross-module linkage of constants.
