Add a new function:
`substituteSubstitutions(Substitutions * substHead, Substitutions subst, int * ioDiff)`
This function substitutes the type arguments referenced in a linked list of substitutions headed at `substHead` using the substitutions specified by `subst`. If the linked list `substHead` does not contain `GlobalGenericParamSubstitution` entries, they will be added to the bottom (outter most) of the linked list.
Note that this function should be called when `substHead` is known to be the head of substitution linked list because the existance of `GlobalGenericPaaramSubstitution` is detected assuming the linked lists starts at `substHead`. If a substitution that is not the head of a substitution linked list is passed in, duplicate `GlobalGenericParamSubstitution`s could be appended to the linked list.
This means that this function should *not* be called in places like `GenericSubstitution::SubstitutionImpl()` for its outer substitutions, because `outer` is obviously not the head of the linked list. Instead, use this function to substitution the substitution lists of `DeclRef` etc. instead of calling `declRef.substitutions->SubstituteImpl()` where the head to the linked list is known as a member of that class.
With this function, IRSpecContext::maybeCloneType() is simplified down to `originalType->Substitute(subst)`
Updates `DeclRefBase::SubstituteImpl` and `DeclRefType::SubstituteImpl` to call `substituteSubstitutions` instead of making direct `substitutions->SubstituteImpl` call.
Providing actual implementation of `GlobalGenericParamSubstitution::SubstituteImpl` instead of just returning `this` to deal with potential situations where a true substitution is needed.

Fixes #295.
The code previously had a white list of attributes that it passed through, implemented in `emit.cpp` in an ad hoc fashion. The fix here is to just pass through whatever attributes the user wrote, and then let the downstream compiler diagnose if any of them are errorneous.

The big change here is that the ability to contain basic blocks with instructions in them has been hoisted from `IRFunc` into a new base type `IRGlobalValueWithCode` shared with `IRGlobalVar`.
The basic blocks of a global variable define initialization logic for it; they can be looked at like a function that returns the initial value.
Places in the IR that used to assume functions contain all the code need to be updated, but so far I only handled the cloning step.
The emit logic currently handles an initializer for a global variable by outputting its logic as a separate function, and then having the variable call that function to initialize itself. This should be cleaned up over time so that we generate an ordinary expression whenever possible.
I also made the emit logic correctly label any global variable without a layout (that is, any that don't represent a shader parameter) as `static` so that the downstream HLSL compiler sees them as variables rather than parameters.

1. simplify RoundUpToAlignment()
2. add new a render-compute test case to cover the situation where the entry-point interface (parameter/return types of an entry-point function) is dependent on the global generic type.
3. initial fixes to get this test case to compile (but is not producing correct HLSL output yet)

* IR: add lowering for initializer list expressions
This is relatively straightforward in the easy cases, because the front-end will have already type-checked the elements of the initializer list, and attached an appropriate type to the overall expression.
Notes:
- We are assuming in this code that if the user provides a "flattened" initializer list when dealing with nested aggregates, then the front-end is responsible for grouping things up apprporiately (this is not actually implemented in the front-end today).
- I have only handled arrays and `struct` types here, so uses of initializer lists for anything else will fail.
- I have not tried to handle the common HLSL idiom of using `{0}` as a way to default-initialize things, even when their first field is not compatible with the expression `0`
- I have not implemented support for default-initializing fields/elements beyond those for which explicit initializers were provided. This can be addressed as a follow-on change.
This change is one clear place where the front-end lowering logic could potentially be made much cleaner using a "destination-driven" code generation strategy. For example, given the following code
```hlsl
struct A { int a0; a1; };
struct B { A b0; A b1; };
struct C { B c0; B c1; };
// ...
C c = { { { 0, 1 }, {2, 3}, }, /* ... */ };
```
Our current code generator will end up allocating local variables for 1 instance of `C`, two instances of `B`, and four instances of `C`, for over 3x the allocation that would be done by a good destination-driven code generator. Yes, later optimization passes should be able to clean up the waste, but avoiding the waste from the start should result in faster compiles and also easier debugging (since intermediate IR won't be as messy in general).
* Fixup: try to appease clang compiler

These were already being handled a little bit, by lowering an `out T` or `inout T` function parameter in the AST to a function parameter with type `T*` in the IR, and then emiting explicit loads/stores.
The HLSL emit logic, however, couldn't tell the difference between an `out` parameter, an `inout`, or a true pointer (if we ever needed to support them...).
The intention (not fully implemented) was that we'd use a hierarchy of types rooted at `PtrTypeBase`:
- `PtrTypeBase`
- `Ptr`: "real" pointers in the C/C++ sense
- `OutTypeBase`: pointers used to represent by-reference parameter passing
- `OutType`: IR level type for an `out` parameter
- `InOutType`: IR level type for an `inout` or `in out` parameter
Actually implementing this involved:
- Adding a bit more flexibility to the `Session::getPtrType` logic to allow for creating any of the concrete types above
- Making the `lower-to-ir` logic create the right type for function parameters (instead of just using `PtrType`)
- Making the HLSL emit logic check for the `OutType` and `InOutType` cases rather than just `PtrType`
- Changing a bunch of small places in the code so that they use `PtrTypeBase` instead of `PtrType` when they should handle any of the above cases, and also make a few places check for `OutTypeBase` instead of `PtrType` or `PtrTypeBase`, when they are really trying to capture by-reference parameters
- Add a test case that uses all of the different cases we care about (without these fixes, this test case generates errors from fxc because of variables being used before being initialized, becaues parameters get declared `out` that should be `inout`).
A minor point here is that we are playing a bit fast and loose right now because the IR does not actually enforce any type checks. From the standpoint of the front end, `Ptr<T>`, `Out<T>`, and `InOut<T>` are all unrelated types (each is just a `struct` declared in `core.meta.slang`), but this doesn't really matter because none of these are types our current users are explicitly using.
In the IR it makes perfect sense to allow `Out<T>` or `InOut<T>` as the operand of a `load` or `store` instruction (and ditto for `getFieldAddr`, etc.) - there instructions just apply to any `PtrTypeBase`. The place where this potentially gets tricky is whether an `Out<T>` can be used where a `Ptr<T>` is expected, or vice vers (e.g., can I just pass my local variable's pointer directly to an `Out<T>` function parameter?
I'm going to ignore these issues for now, since the code currently works for our test case.

* Add support for global generic parameters
(In-progress work)
This commit include:
1. Update Slang API to allow specification of generic type arguments in an `EntryPointRequest`
2. Add parsing of `__generic_param` construct, which becomes a GlobalGenericParamDecl, contains members of `GenericTypeConstraintDecl`.
3. Semantics checking will check whether the provided type arguments conform to the interfaces as defined by the generic parameter, and store SubtypeWitness values in the EntryPointRequest, which will be used by `specializeIRForEntryPoint` when generating final IR.
4. Add a new type of substitution - `GlobalGenericParamSubstitution` for subsittuting references to `__generic_param` decls or to its member `GenericTypeConsraintDecl` with the actual type argument or witness tables.
5. Update `IRSpecContext` to apply `GlobalGenericParamSubstitution` when specializing the IR for an EntryPointRequest.
6. Update `render-test` to take additional `type` inputs, which specifies the type arguments to substitute into the global `__generic_param` types.
This commit does not include ProgramLayout specialization.
* IR: pass through `[unroll]` attribute (#284)
The initial lowering was adding an `IRLoopControlDecoration` to the instruction at the head of a loop, but this was getting dropped when the IR gets cloned for a particular entry point.
The fix was simply to add a case for loop-control decorations to `cloneDecoration`.
* fix warnings
* IR: support `CompileTimeForStmt` (#286)
This statement type is a bit of a hack, to support loops that *must* be unrolled.
The AST-to-AST pass handles them by cloning the AST for the loop body N times, and it was easy enough to do the same thing for the IR: emit the instructions for the body N times.
The only thing that requires a bit of care is that now we might see the same variable declarations multiple times, so we need to play it safe and overwrite existing entries in our map from declarations to their IR values.
Of course a better answer long-term would be to do the actual unrolling in the IR. This is especially true because we might some day want to support compile-time/must-unroll loops in functions, where the loop counter comes in as a parameter (but must still be compile-time-constant at every call site).

* Revise type legalization so it can handle constant buffers
The existing legalization approach with "tuples" can handle scalarizing a `struct` type with resource-type fields in it, but it had several big gaps. The most notable is that given a type that mixes uniform and resource fields, we can't just blindly scalarize things:
```
struct P {
float4 a;
float4 b;
Texture2D t;
};
cbuffer C
{
P gParam[8];
};
```
The existing code was completely ignoring the declaration of `gParam` inside `C`, but even if we fixed that issue, we'd get something like:
```
cbuffer C
{
float4 gParam_a[8];
float4 gParam_b[8];
};
Texture2D gParam_t[8];
```
In this case we've completely changed the layout of the uniform buffer, by switching from AOS to SOA.
Even if we could get the type layout logic and the IR to agree on this, it would be a surprise to users, and "principle of least surprise" should be a big deal on a project with as many moving parts as ours.
The right thing to do is to have legalization create a "stripped" version of the original type `P` and use that:
```
struct P_stripped {
float4 a;
float4 b;
};
cbuffer C
{
P_stripped gParam[8];
};
Texture2D gParam_t[8];
```
Then at a call site, this:
```
foo(gParam);
```
becomes:
```
foo(gParam, gParam_t);
```
This is exactly how the current AST-to-AST legalization handles mixed uniform and resource types, but the way it does it involves some annoying kludges:
- That pass has a notion of a "tuple" similar to our legalization, but every tuple has an optional "primary" entry for all the uniform data, plus tuple elements for the resources, and a given field may be represented on one side, the other, or both. It makes the code for handling tuples very messy.
- That pass does the "stripping" of types by actually marking up the AST declarations (this is okay because it is constructing a new AST as it goes), so that when they get emitted certain fields don't actually show up. That is, we fix the problem with type `P` by actually *modifying* the user's declaration of `P`. That seems out of bounds for the IR.
This change fixes the problem in our IR type legalization while trying to avoid the problems of the AST-to-AST pass by using two new ideas:
1. We add a new case for `LegalType` (and `LegalVal`) that is a "pair" type, where a pair consists of both an "ordinary" type (for uniform data) and a "special" type (for resource data). E.g., after legalization, the type for `C` (which can be over-simplified to `ConstantBuffer<P>` for our purposes), will be a `LegalType::pair` where the ordinary side is `ConstantBuffer<P_stripped>` and the special side is a tuple containing the `Texture2D` field.
2. We add a new (and annoyingly hacky) AST-level type called `FilteredTupleType` which is semantically a sort of tuple type (it holds a list of elements, and the elements have their own types), but which remembers an "original type" that it was created from, and for each element remembers the field of the original type that it corresponds to. This is used to construct a type like `P_stripped` as an actual AST-level structural type.
The core logic for legalizing an aggregate type had to get more complicated just because of the new pair case, so there is now a `TupleTypeBuilder` that asists with taking an aggregate type, processing its fields, and then picking the right `LegalType` representation for the result.
Other smaller changes:
- Made the legalization logic actually legalize `PtrType<T>`. E.g., if `T` legalizes to a tuple, we need to construct a tuple of pointer types. The same exact thing needs to be applied to arrays, and any other generic type that should "distribute over" pairs/tuples.
- Made the legalization logic actually legalize `ConstantBuffer<T>` and similar. The basic idea there is if `T` maps to a pair, we wrap `ConstantBuffer<...>` around the ordinary side, and `implicitDeref` around the special side.
- Removed a bunch of `#ifdef`ed-out code from the end of `ir-legalize-types.cpp`. That was code from my first attempt at legalization that failed miserably (trying to do it via local changes and a work list instead of a global rewrite pass), but it had some code I wanted to reference when writing the version that actually got checked in (should have deleted the code earlier, though).
- Added a bunch of cases for `LegalType::none` (and the `LegalVal` equivalent) that helped simplify the logic fo the `pair` case by allowing me to *always* dispatch to both the "ordinary" and "special" sides, even if they might not actually be present.
- Renamed `TupleType` and `TupleVal` over to `TuplePseudoType` and `TuplePseudoval` to recognize the fact that we might actually need/want *real* tuples in the type system, to go along with these fake ones (that need to be optimized away).
The biggest doubt I have about this change is the whole `FilteredTupleType` thing; it seems like an obviously contrived type to add to the front-end type system that really only solves IR-level problems. A cleaner approach might have been to just add a plain old `TupleType` to the front-end type system (and initially I started with that), and then have yet another `LegalType`/`LegalVal` case that handles mapping from the fields of the original type to the numbered tuple elements.
I expect we'll actually want to make that change in the future (especially if we ever add true tuples to the front-end), but for right now I let myself be swayed by the desire to have these stripped/filtered types get names that explain their provenance ("where they came from") to make our output code more debuggable. The way I've done it is probably overkill, though, and we need a much more complete effort on the readability and debuggability of our output before anything like that is worth worrying about.
* Fixup: typo
* Fixup: fix output of "non-mangled" names for test cases
- Make sure to attach high-level decls to variables created as part of type legalization
- Also, try to share more of the code between the different cases of variables
- Fix up `parameter-blocks` test case that was passing `-no-mangle` but expecting mangled names in the output
- Fix up `multiple-parameter-blocks` to not rely on `-no-mangle` for now, because it would lead to two global variables with the same name (need to fix that underlying issue eventually).
- Also fix name generation logic so that we only use "original" names (from high-level decls) specifically when the `-no-mangle` flag is on, and otherwise use IR-level names.
* Fix: handle constant buffers better in render-test
- Don't request both CB and SRV usage for buffers, since that is illegal
- Also, don't try to create an SRV when user requested a CB (since the required usage flag won't be there)
- Record the input buffer type on the `D3DBinding` for a buffer, and use that to tell us when to bind a CB instead of SRV/UAV
- Fix expected output for `cbuffer-legalize` test now that we are actually feeding it correct cbuffer dta.

- Change function mangling so we use `p<parameterCount>p` instead of just `p<parameterCount>` to avoid the parameter count running into digits at the start of a mangled type name and tripping up the un-mangling logic.
- We really need to step back at some point and define our mangling scheme a bit more carefully, especially if we are going to keep going down this road where un-mangling things is important for generating HLSL output.
- Also allow the unmangling logic to unmangle a few more cases of generic parameters, so that it can skip over them to get to the parameter count of the underlying function.
- Add a notion of an `unreachable` instruction to the IR, and emit it as the terminator (if needed) at the end of the last block for a function with a non-void return type.
- This does *not* implement any logic to emit a diagnostic if the `unreachable` turns out to be potentially reachable
- Fix a bug in IR specialization of generics where we can't create two different specializations of the same function, because both get registered in the same hash map
With all these fixes, testing in Falcor modified to use the full Slang compiler and IR for all HLSL/Slang:
- The UI and text rendering shaders yield HLSL that compiles without error; no idea if they actually *work*
- The ModelViewer shaders yield HLSL, but there are some issues (looks like type legalization isn't applying to stuff inside constant buffers)

* IR: add support for `switch` statements
Fixes #273
This is just something we hadn't gotten to yet on the IR. The actual design of the instruction is unsurprising (once you take into consideration the requirement for structured control flow). A `switch` instruction takes the form:
switch <condition> <breakLabel> <defaultLabel> [<caseVal> <caseLabel>]*
Where `condition` is the value to switch on, `breakLabel` is the "join point" after the original `switch` statement, `defaultLabel` is where to go if the value doesn't match any case, and each pair of `caseVal` and `caseLabel` is what to do on a particular value. It is required that `caseVal` be a literal, but this isn't currently being enforced in the IR (the front-end should be making a check and constant-folding the case labels).
For structured control flow, we also make the assumption that the cases are in order: cases with the same label must be grouped together, and any case that falls through to another must come right before it.
Given this representation, the emit logic can reconstruct a `switch` statement with relative ease, given the machinery we already have. It makes sure to group together case values with the same label (again, assuming they are contiguous), and will insert the `default:` label in with whatever group it belongs to.
Actually emitting code for a `switch` statement seems superficially simple, until you realize that a complete implementation needs to handle stuff like "Duff's Device." The current implementation makes the assumption that all `case` and `default` statements are directly nested under a `switch`, and that there is no way for control flow to enter a case except by the `switch` itself, or fall-through.
In order to facilitate the grouping of cases in the IR-to-HLSL emit logic, the AST-to-IR lowering logic tries to detect cases where there are multiple `case`s in a row, and emit only a single label for them.
One big/annoying gotcha is that we don't properly handle the case where a `default:` case has a non-trivial fall-throguh to another case. That seems fine for now since HLSL doesn't support fall-through anyway, but it probably needs to get detected somewhere in the Slang compiler (e.g., maybe we should add a diagnostic pass over the IR that detects target-specific problems like that and emits errors).
* IR: Add support for empty statements.
- Add empty statement in `lower-to-ir.cpp`
- Go ahead and eliminate the statement catch-all and explicitly enumerate the cases we don't support
- Fix up parser for block statements so that it doesn't leave a null statement as the body of a `{}`
- Add an empty statement to one of the cases for the `switch` test, to ensure we are testing empty statements

This commit fixes issue #275
This commit includes following changes:

3. legalize call sites (IRCall) with proper arguments
4. legalize local vars that has a mixed resource type.

* Don't auto-enable IR use for compute tests
The `COMPARE_COMPUTE` and `COMPARE_RENDER_COMPUTE` test fixtures were set up to always enable the `-use-ir` flag on Slang, which precludes having any tests that confirm functionality on the old non-IR path (which is still required by our main customer).
This change adds the `-xslang -use-ir` flags explicitly to any compute test cases that left them out, and makes the fixture no longer add it by default.
* Continue building out parameter block support
The initial front-end logic for parameter blocks was already added, but they are still missing a bunch of functionality. This change addresses some of the known issues:
- Bug fix: don't try to emit HLSL `register` bindings for variables that consume whole register spaces/sets
- Overhaul type layout logic so that it can make decisions based on a given code generation target (currently passed in as a `TargetRequest`), which allows us to decide whether or not a parameter block should get its own register set on a per-target basis.
- Always use a register space/set for Vulkan
- Never use a register space/set for HLSL SM 5.0 and lower
- By default, don't use register spaces/sets for HLSL output
- Add a command-line flag and some "target flags" to enable register-space usage for D3D targets
- Hackily add initial support for parameter blocks in the AST-to-AST path
- This just blindly lowers `ParameterBlock<T>` to `T`, which shouldn't quite work
- A more complete overhaul will probably need to wait until the AST-to-AST legalization is changed to use the `LegalType`s from the IR legalization pass.
- Add a compute-based test case to actually run code using parameter blocks
- This file runs test cases both with and without the IR

* IR: Add support for break and continue statements
The front-end is already doing the work of connecting this statements to their "parent" statement, so we just needed to build a map from the `Stmt*` to the corresponding `IRBlock*`s to use for break/continue when outputting any loop statement, and then look up in the map for the branch target when outputting a break/continue.
When we get around to adding `switch` statements, the same pattern should work just fine.
I also added support for `do/while` statements in IR codegen, and made sure to exercise those in one of the test cases I added.
There is also an unrelated IR codegen fix for when there is a "bound subscript" on the RHS of an assignment.
* IR: fix handling of do/while and continue
Thanks to @csyonghe for pointing out my mistake in the earlier commit.
I implemented `continue` for `do/while` loops incorrectly, branching to the head of the loop instead of the loop test.
I'll try to blame this mistake on the fact that I never use `do/while` loops because I think they are awful. :)
The fix for that issue wasn't too bad (see `lower-to-ir.cpp`) but it surfaces a much more serious issue: I wasn't actually implementing `continue` correctly *at all* when it comes to generating HLSL/GLSL from the IR (I can't easily make an excuse for that one).
The basic issue at the heart of this is that given an input statement like:
```
for(int ii = 0; ii < N; ii = doSomething(ii))
{ ... }
```
The continue clause (`ii = doSomething(ii)`) could expand into many instructions (across multiple blocks, if we inline), and there is in general no guarantee when we are done that we can package up that code as an expression and spit out a new `for` loop (the same basic argument applies to a `do { ... } while(someComplexExpression())`.
So, if we assume that in general we have to generate a full *statement* for the `continue` clause, what can we emit?
- We could try to "outline" the continue code into its own function, so that we can call it from an expression. That could work, but has high implementation complexity.
- We could introduce additional `bool` variables for control flow, outputting something like:
```
bool useContinueBlock = false;
for(;;) {
if(useContinueBlock) { <CONTINUE CODE>; }
useContinueBlock = true;
<LOOP TEST>
<LOOP BODY>
}
```
This works but user might balk at the extra variable we introduce.
- We could duplicate the code at each continue site. That is, we emit the loop as:
```
for(;;) {
<LOOP TEST>
<LOOP BODY>
<CONTINUE CODE>
}
```
but then whenever we'd like to emit `continue;` we instead emit `{ <CONTINUE CODE>; continue; }`.
This doesn't introduce any extra variables, but it causes code duplication (limited, if we don't have too many `continue` sites, and the continue clause is small - which are the common cases).
When I was initially working on the IR codegen I picked that last option just because it is what `fxc` seems to do, but I neglected to actually *implement* the special-case codegen for a `continue` instruction. This change addresses that (see `emit.cpp`).
Finally, once things were fixed the `continue` test case produced the results Yong told me to expect, but it also produced a warning from the downstream HLSL compiler ("hey, your loop doesn't ever actually *loop*!"), so I reworked the test back to one that actually loops (but still tests `continue`).
As a final aside in this essay of a commit message: the current IR representation of control flow uses special-case instructions for various cases of unconditional branch (and two variations on `if`), but these are not strictly necessary, and a future change will hopefully clean it up. The biggest catch in doing that is that it will require the IR->source codegen to carefully track which blocks represent which kinds of branch targets in context (e.g., you can't assume that a `continue` that nees the special handling above will appear as a distinct kind of instruction).

- Add definition of `discard` instruction
- A `discard` is a terminator instruction, just like `returnVoid`
- Lower `DiscardStmt` in AST to a `discard` instruction in the IR
- Emit `discard` instruction as a `discard;` statement when emitting HLSL/GLSL
- Add a test case using the "graphics compute" mode that tests discard. The test writes to one entry in a UAV before doing a conditional (always true at runtime) discard, and then writes to another entry; we expect to see the results of the first write, but not the second.

* improve diagnostic messages and prevent fatal errors from crashing the compiler.
* fix top level exception catching.
* spelling fix
* change wording of invalidSwizzleExpr diagnostic
* add speculative GenericsApp expr parsing
* add new test case of cascading generics call.
* Fixing bugs in compiling cascaded generic function calls.
Add implementation of DeclaredSubTypeWitness::SubstituteImpl()
This is not needed by the type checker, but needed by IR specialization. When input source contains cascading generic function call, the arguments to `specialize` instruction is currently represented as a substitution. The arg values of this subsittution can be a `DeclaredSubTypeWitness` when a generic function uses one of its generic parameter to specialize another generic function. When the top level generics function is being specialized, this substitution argument, which is a `DeclaredSubTypeWitness`, needs to be substituted with the witness that used to specialize the top level function in the specialized specialize instruction as well.
* add a test case for cascading generic function call.
* parser bug fix
* fixes #255
* add test case for issue #255
* Generate missing `specialize` instruction when calling a generic method from an interface constraint.
When calling a generic method via an interface, we should be generating the following ir:
...
f = lookup_interface_method(...)
f_s = specailize(f, declRef)
...
This commit fixes this `emitFuncRef` function to emit the needed `specialize` instruction.
* fixes #260
This fix follows the second apporach in the disucssion. It generated mangled name for specialized functions by appending new substitution type names to the original mangled name.
* Disabling removing and re-inserting specailized functions in getSpecalizeFunc()
I am not sure why it is needed, it seems HLSL and GLSL backends are generating forward declarations anyways, so the order of functions in IRModule shouldn't matter.
* cleanup and complete test cases.
* fix warnings

This is currently only useful for `struct` types.
I implemented a special-case exception so that the auto-generated `struct` types used for `cbuffer` members don't show their internal name.
I did *not* implement any logic to avoid returning the name `vector` for a vector type, etc., since they are all `DeclRefType`s and it seemed easiest to just let the user access information they can't really use.

- During IR emit, treat a "select" expression (`?:` operator) like any other `InvokeExpr`, since it will have an `__intrinsic_op` modifier attached to turn it into a `select` instruction.
- During HLSL/GLSL emit from IR, turn a `select` instruction into a `?:` expression
- Also add support for the `neg` instruction during HLSL/GLSL emit
Note that right now we are assuming HLSL semantics for `?:` where it does not short-circuit. Correctly handling the GLSL case would require going back to special-case codegen for `SelectExpr`, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

The IR encodes `out` and `in out` function parameters as pointer types, so the emit logic needs to handle it. We had code to handle translation of pointers types into `out` declarations for function *declarations* but weren't handling it for function *definitions*.
This change unifies the logic so that it is shared by function definitions and decalrations.
This change does *not* deal with the following issues that need to be addressed sometime soon-ish:
- We currently always translate pointers into `out`, even if they should be `in out`. This is obviously wrong.
- If/when we eventually have targets that support true pointers (e.g., CUDA, NVIDIA OpenGL, etc.) we'll need a way to tell the difference between an `in` pointer parameter, and an `out` parameter.
Both of these issues are meant to be addressed by having a few special cases of pointer types, for the `out` and `in out` cases, and only translating those (not all pointers). We need to plumb those through the IR more completely, but I'm not dealing with that here.

The old approach was relying on an `__intrinsic_op` modifier to tell us we need to do something special with an `InvokeExpr`, but a previous change removed a bunch of those modifiers.
Instead, we will now check for calls to subscript declarations as part of the normal flow of emitting *any* call, similar to what is done for constructor calls already.
Eventually we should be able to eliminate the special case in the `__intrinsic_op` path, but I'm holding off on that because the AST emit logic can probably be cleaned up a *lot* once it doesn't have to be used for cross-compilation as well.

This code isn't especially useful right now since most of the important subscripts are still special-cased with `__intrinsic_op`, but the idea is that if we de-mangle an intrinsic operation's name and see it is called `operator[]` then we are probably calling a subscript, and should emit an appropriate expression.
Aside: this change has pointed out to me that our current name mangling isn't properly handling non-alphanumeric characters, so we'll be in trouble as soon as we have non-intrinsic subscripts, operators, etc.
|
|
This is to allow me to compare for particular names in my de-mangling logic in `emit.cpp`.
|
|
The source of a lot of these changes is that our current strategy for dealing with "builtin" operations when emitting HLSL from the IR is to de-mangle the mangled name of an operation, and then emit HLSL code for a function call to an operation with that de-mangled name.
This change introduces a few fixups for that work:
- It adds support for parsing the mangled names of generics (specialized and unspecialized)
- It adds logic for detecting when the operation being invoked is a member function
- This is currently a bit ugly, since we compare the number of actual arguments we have in the IR against the number of parameters declared for the callee, and if they don't match we assume we have an extra `this` argument.
On the mangling side, we add (hacky) support for mangling a function name when its types involve generic parameters, e.g.:
```
__generic<T, let N : int> T length(vector<T,N> v);
```
In this case the mangled name of the function needs to include a mangling for the type `vector<T,N>` which means it also needs to include a mangling for `N`.
The reason I describe this support as "hacky" is because we really shouldn't be reproducing the names `T` or `N` in the mangled symbol name. By doing so we make it so that a user changing the name of a generic parameter would break (IR) binary compatibility with existing code that was separately compiled.
I've included comments in the code about a better way to handle this, but it isn't a priorit right now since binary compatibility isn't something meaningful until we start emitting usable bytecode modules.

Subscript declarations can have nested "accessor" declarations for the get/set behavior:
```
__subscript(int index) -> float
{
get { ... }
set { ... }
}
```
The AST type checks an expression like `a[i]` into a call to an appropriate `__subscript` declaration, and reads the return type off of that, but doesn't drill down to the individual getters/setters.
During IR code generation, we need to resolve a call to the subscript operation down to the actual getter or setter, since those are what will have the executable code (or be intrinsics). If we have a non-intrinsic accessor, then we end up asking for its "return type" and get NULL, which crashes the compiler.
The fix in this case is to add a bit more semantic checking for accessors, mostly just so that we can have them copy the return type from their parent declaration. While we are at it, this change goes ahead and has an accessor validate that the parent declaration is one that should be allowed, and emit a diagnostic if it is nested in an improper place.

The original code is handling the issue where a call site might be specializing a generic function, so it has a `DeclRef` that represents what it wants to specialize, but the callee is actually a different overload of the same generic function (e.g., a target-specific overload) and so we need to construct a set of substitutions that are equivalent (same arguments), but point to different `GenericDecl`s.
That code was making some bad assumptions, though:
1. It assumed that the substitutions list would always start with a generic substitution (no longer true with `ThisTypeSubstitution`.
2. It assumed that only the top-most substitution would need to be translated. This assumption is probably safe for now, but it could break down if we ever introduced an ability for a type to be re-opened to introduce new (target-specific) overloads of its members.
The new approach goes ahead and does a deep copy of the substitition list (but a shallow copy of the arguments), and only copies the generic substititions for now.

This attribute used to be how we marked ops for special handling in emission, but now it is being used to mark ops that map to single instructions. Either way, we have a bunch of intrinsic functions that need to get lowered in a more traditional fashion for HLSL, and the intrinsics are getting in the way.
Subsequent changes will fix up issues created by this removal.
A few cases were left unchanged, either because the ops really do map to single instructions, or because there is some special-case support attached to those operations that would be tricky to replace right now.

* Rename existing ParameterBlock to ParameterGroup
We are planning to add a new `ParameterBlock<T>` type, which maps to the notion of a "parameter block" as used in the Spire research work.
Unfortunately, the compiler codebase already uses the term `ParameterBlock` as catch-all to encompass all of HLSL `cbuffer`/`tbuffer` and GLSL `uniform`/`buffer`/`in`/`out` blocks (all of which are lexical `{}`-enclosed blocks that define parameters...).
This change instead renames all of the existing concepts over to `ParameterGroup`, which isn't an ideal name, but at least doesn't directly overlap the new terminology or any existing terminology.
The new `ParameterBlockType` case will probably be a subclass of `ParameterGroupType`, since it is a logical extension of the underlying concept.
* Add Shader Model 5.1 profiles
The HLSL `register(..., space0)` syntax is only allowed on "SM5.1" and later profiles (which is supported by the newer version of `d3dcompiler_47.dll` that comes with the Win10 SDK, but not the older version of `d3dcompiler_47.dll` - good luck figuring out which you have!).
This change adds those profiles to our master list of profiles, and nothing else.
* First pass at support for `ParameterBlock<T>`
- Add the type declaration in stdlib
- Add a special case of `ParameterGroupType` for parameter blocks
- Handle parameter blocks in type layout (currently handling them identically to constant buffers for now, which isn't going to be right in the long term)
- Add an IR pass that basically replaces `ParameterBlock<T>` with `T`
- Eventually this should replace it with either `T` or `ConstantBuffer<T>`, depending on whether the layout that was computed required a constant buffer to hold any "free" uniforms
- Add first stab at an IR pass to "scalarize" global variables using aggregate types with resources inside.
- This currently only applies to global variables, so it won't handle things passed through functions, or used as local variables
- It also only supports cases where the references to the original variable are always references to its fields, and not the whole value itself
- Add a single test case that technically passes with this level of support, but probably isn't very representative of what we need from the feature
* Fold parameter-block desugaring into a more complete "type legalization" pass
The basic problem that was arising is that once you desugar `ParameterBlock<T>` into `T`, you then need todeal with splitting `T` into its constituent fields if it contains any resource types.
Handling those transformations by following the usual use-def chains wasn't really helping, because you might need systematic rewriting that can really only be handled bottom-up.
This change adds a new pass that is intended to perform multiple kinds of type "legalization" at once:
- It will turn `ParameterBlock<T>` into `T`
- It may at some point also convert `ConstantBuffer<T>` into `T` as well
- It will turn an value of an aggregate type that contains resources into N different values (one per field)
- As a result of this, it will also deal with AOS-to-SOA conversion of these types
Legalization is applied to *every* function/instruction/value, so that it can make large-scale changes that would be tough to manage with a work list.
This pass needs to be run *after* generics have been fully specialized, so that we know we are always dealing with fully concrete types, so that their legalization for a given target is completely known.
This is still work in progress; there's more to be done to get this working with all our test cases, and finish the remaining `ParameterBlock<T>` work.
* Improve binding/layout information when using parameter blocks
- When doing type layout for a parameter block, don't include the resources consumed by the element type in the resource usage for the parameter block
- Note that this is pretty much identical to how a `ConstantBuffer<T>` does not report any `LayoutResourceKind::Uniform` usage, except that `ParameterBlock<T>` is *also* going to hide underlying texture/sampler reigster usage
- The one exception here is that any nested items that use up entire `space`s or `set`s those need to be exposed in the resource usage of the parent (I don't have a test for this)
- When type legalization needs to scalarize things, it must propagate layout information down to the new leaf variables. In general, the register/index for a new leaf parameter should be the sum of the offsets for all of the parent variables along the "chain" from the original variable down to the leaf (we aren't dealing with arrays here just yet).
- When type legalization decides to eliminate a pointer(-like) type (e.g., desugar `ParameterBlock<T>` over to `T`), actually deal with that in terms of the `LegalVal`s created, so that we can know to turn a `load` into a no-op when applied to a value that got indirection removed.
- Hack up the "complex" parameter-block test so that it actually passes (the big hack here is that the HLSL baseline is using names that are generated by the IR, and are unlikely to be stable as we add/remove transformations).
- Note: I can't make these be compute tests right now, because regsiter spaces/sets are a feature of D3D12/Vulkan, and our test runner isn't using those APIs.
