The `AdvanceIfMatch()` method was introduced to the parser as a way to avoid infinite loops when parsing nested list structures (e.g., `()`-enclosed parameter lists). The basic idea is that it tries to detect if we have scanned "too far" looking for a closing token, and reports a match to whatever logic was doing the looping to break the statemate.
Unfortunately, the `TryRecoverBefore` logic was changed at some point so that it doesn't necessarily advance any tokens at all, because we generally don't want to skip over a `}` while searching for a `)`. As a result, we could still end up in an infinite loop where we didn't consume any additional tokens as part of recovery, but wouldn't bail out of the search for a match.
This change tries to introduce a slightly more systematic setup where `AdvanceIfMatch` is now parameterized on a type of matched token pair (not just the closing token), and each such matched token pair introduces a list of tokens where if we see them as our lookahead we should bail out (e.g., when looking for a `)` we should give up the search upon seeing a `}`).
After installing that fix I found that my simple test case still gave a surprising error because when mistakenly parsing a function body the parser would look for a `{` and then a `}` to close the body. The search for a closing `}` could accidentally consume a `}` meant for an outer scope, and lead to a cascading failure. I madea quick fix to the parsing of block statements so that we don't look for a closing `}` if we never had an opening `{`, but that isn't really a systematic solution like we truly need.
For now, these fixes will avoid the infinite-loop case, and should give a better diagnostic in the case a user ran into, but we need to take time to do some more top-down work on the parser sooner or later.

Both D3D "rasterizer ordered views" (ROVs) and GLSL "fragment shader interlock" (FSI) are aimed at the same basic use case: they allow for fragment shaders to contain operations that require mutual exclusion and/or deterinistics ordering between fragment shader invocations that affect the same framebuffer coordinates. The language-level exposure of the features varies greatly between the two API families, though:
* ROVs define an implicit ordering and mutual exclusion constraint: certain resoure parameters are marked as `RasterizerOrdered`, and reads/writes to these resources must be sequences *as if* fragment-shader invocations ran in sequential order for each pixel.
* FSI defines paired begin/end functions that mark a critical section of code. All memory operations in the critical section must be sequences *as if* fragment-shader invocations ran in sequential order for each pixel. In order to make this model tractable, only a single critical section is allowed per fragment shader, and the begin/end must appear at the top level of the shader entry point function (not under control flow or after a possible conditional `return`.
The simplest way for Slang to support portable programs that run across both API families is to insist that code that cares about these ordering guarantees must use *both* mechanisms, and then each of them will only affect the API that cares about it.
Slang already supports ROV resource types, and already lowers them to plain textures for GLSL/SPIR-V.
This change adds the missing feature of a begin/end function pair for FSI, which will map to empty functions on non-GLSL targets.

The purpose of these changes is to make the `shader-object` example work correctly on CUDA.
Originally I had tried to add changes to the "flat" reflection information so that it introduced descriptor ranges to match the binding ranges it added for interface/existential-type fields. This approach helped the CUDA code that was using that information to try and compute uniform offsets for those fields, but it broke most of the other renderer back-ends. Instead, I removed the relevant asserts from `CUDAShaderObject::setObject()`.
Note taht there are leftover changes from my edits to the flat reflection information, around how it handles "leaf" fields that consume multiple resource kinds. I believe that those changes are, on balance, "more correct" now than they were before, so I decided to leave them in.
The other major fix here is to specialize the `CUDAShaderObject::setObject()` logic to handle the case of setting a shader object for a parameter that has interface type instead of a constant-buffer or parameter block. Mostly I just copy bytes from the child object into the parent object. There are a few caveats, though:
* I am not writing the RTTI or witness-table information, so dynamic dispatch won't work.
* I am assuming a hard-coded offset of 16 bytes for the any-value, which will work for now but is a bit too "magical" and might also break once we support conjunctions of interfaces with dynamic dispatch
* I am assuming that the child value to be writen into the field will "fit" into the any-value area. We need some way to determine whether or not things fit dynamically (ideally using the reflection data), and adapt accordingly.
* I had to add another method on the base CUDA shader object type to handle setting data using a device-memory pointr instead of a host-memory pointer
* There's not a lot we can do about it, but in the case of assigning an ordinary `CUDAShaderObject` into an interface-type field of a `CUDAEntryPointShaderObject` we end up needing to perform a device->host memory copy, because the bytes of the value will have already been written to GPU memory, but need to be in GPU memory for the dispatch call.
* The implementation I'm using here basically assumes that the child shader object must have been finalized before it gets plugged into the parent shader object. We haven't yet made a policy decision about that bit.

* Add an accessor for IRInst opcode
This main changing is renaming `IRInst::op` over to `IRInst::m_op` and then adds an accessor `IRInst::getOp()` to read it. The rest of the changes are just changing use sites to `getOp` (or to `m_op` in the limited cases where we write to it).
This work is in anticipation of a future change that might need to store an extra bit in the same field as the opcode. It seemed better to do this massive refactoring as a separate PR.

This change adds initial support for a feature being proposed for inclusion in dxc: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/pull/3171.
The main features are:
* A `[payload]` attribute that indicates which `struct` types are intended to be used as payloads. Consistent use of this attribute should mean that an application no longer needs to manually specify a maximum payload size when creating a ray-tracing pipeline.
* `read(...)` and `write(...)` qualifiers which can be attached to fields of `struct` types (usually `[payload]`-attributed types) to indicate which ray tracing pipeline stages are allowed read/write access to that part of the payload. Use of these qualifiers should allow an implementation to optimize storage of ray payload elements across RT pipeline stages.
The work in this change just adds basic parsing for these features, translation to matching IR decorations, and then emission of HLSL text based on those decorations.
Notable gaps in this first change include:
* No work is currently being done to validate access to ray payloads in RT entry points based on these qualifiers.
* The stage names in `read(...)` and `write(...)` are not being validated, and are being stored in the IR as text. These should probably use the `Stage` enumeration in some fashion, but we would need to have a way to encode the additional `caller` pseudo-stage that the feature uses.
* No work is currently being done to adjust or react to the chosen shader model when emitting HLSL code. We should *either* have these attributes force a switch to a higher shader model, *or* skip emission of these attributes if the chosen shader model / profile does not imply support for them.
* No tests are currently included for this work, because tests would rely on using a custom `dxcompiler.dll` build with the new feature supported.

The underlying problem here is that our `SharedIRBuilder` (which currently owns the "global" value-numbering map) has a subtle invariant ("subtle" in the sense of "dangerous and bad"). The value-numbering map stores `IRInst`s for things like constants and types, and if those instructions end up getting modified or deleted (deleting an instruction currently runs its destructor but does not free the pool-allocated memory), then it is possible for the computed hash code for an instruction to no longer match what it was when it was inserted.
The trigger in this case was a use of the `IRInst::removeAndDeallocate()` operation inside of the AST-to-IR lowering pass, which uses a single `SharedIRBuilder`. If that `removeAndDeallocate()` happens to apply to a value in the value-numbering map, then it risks breaking the next time the map gets rehashed.
The short-term fix here is simple: never try to delete an instruction during IR lowering, even if it is known to be unused. Instead, we can rely on the subsequent DCE pass to eliminate the instruction.
A longer-term fix here would involve fixing our entire strategy around value numbering. We know we need to do that, but that would be a big enough change that it couldn't be pursued as part of a simple bug fix like this.

The basic feature here is the ability to use the `&` operator to produce the conjunction/intersection of two interfaces. That is, you can have interfaces:
interface IFirst { int getFirst(); }
interface ISecond { int getSecoond(); }
and if you need a generic function where the type parameter `T` must conform to *both* of these interfaces, you express that by constraining the parameter to the intersection of the interfaces:
void someFunction<T : IFirst & ISecond>(T value) { ... }
Without this feature, the main alternative an application would have is to define an intermediate interface, like:
interface IBoth : IFirst, ISecond {}
Forcing users to deal with an intermediate interface creates more work for type authors (they need to remember to inherit from the right combined interface(s)), or for `extension` authors (when you add `ISecond` to a type that used to just support `IFirst`, you had better also add `IBoth`). In the worst case, a family of N related "leaf" interfaces would give rise to an exponential number of intermediate interfaces to represnt the possible combinations.
A conjunction like `IFirst & ISecond` is officially its own type, and can be used to declare a type alias:
typealias IBoth = IFirst & ISecond;
This change only includes the first pass of work on this feature, so there are several caveats to be aware of:
* Using a conjunction as part of an inheritance clause is not yet supported (e.g., `struct X : IFirst & ISecond`). This is true even if the conjunction was introduced by an intermediate `typealias`
* The `&` syntax introduced here is only parsed in places where only a type (not an expression) is possible. This means you cannot do things like cast to a conjunction with `(IFirst & ISecond)(someValue)`.
* This work *should* apply to conjunctions of more than two interfaces (like `IA & IB & IC`) but that has not yet been tested
* In the long run it may be sensible to allow conjunctions that use concrete types, but we really ought to have the semantic checking logic rule that out for now.
* During testing, I encountered compiler crashes when trying to use this feature together with `property` declarations. Further investigation and debugging is called for.
* The handling of conjunction types is currently incomplete, in that there are many equivalences the compiler does not yet understand. For example, it is clear that `IA & IB` is equivalent to `IB & IA`, but the compiler currently does not understand this and will treat them as different types. A deeper implementation approach is called for.
* Conjunctions are currently only supported for generic type parameter constraints, when performing full specialization. Use of conjunctions for existential-type value parameters or with dynamic dispatch is not yet supported.

This change pertains to `static` variables in function scope (including things like methods, initializers, property accessors, etc.). Note that it does *not* have anything to do with global-scope `static` variables or with `static const` variables (whether inside a function or not).
The old code generation strategy had a lot of "clever" code to deal with the problem of a `static` variable inside a generic function (or inside a function inside a generic type, etc.). Basically, if you had input code like:
int myFunc<T>(int newVal) {
static int state = 0;
int result = state;
state = newVal;
return result;
}
The language semantics are that `myFunc<float3>` should have a different `state` variable than `myFunc<int2>`. The way that the existing codegen handled that was to generate the `state` variable into its own dedicated `IRGeneric`. Something like:
generic myFunc_state<T0> { global_var g_ptr : int*; return g_ptr; }
generic myFunc<T1> {
func f(int newVal) {
let result : int = load(state<T>);
store(state<T1>, newVal);
return result;
}
}
The catch there is that you end up needing to generate an entire second `IRGeneric`, and then references to `state` need to explicitly use `specialize` to instantiate that generic using the same parameters as `myFunc` was passed (note how `T0` and `T1` are distinct IR generic parameters, despite both representing `T` here).
Things get even more complicated when you consider function-`static` variables with initialization logic, since we need to be sure we only perform that initialization once, but the initialization could refer to arguments of the outer function, and thus needs to be done inside the function body. To handle that case we emit an additional `bool` global if a function-`static` variable has an initializer, and that `bool` gets wrapped up in yet another generic.
That whole approach seems silly in retrospect, and a much simpler solution is possible: just emit the function-`static` variable immediately before the IR function it pertains to, which means it will be nested under the *same* IR generic if there is one (and at module scope if there isn't). The result is something like:
generic myFunc<T1> {
global_var state_ptr : int*;
func f(int newVal) {
let result : int = load(state_ptr);
store(state_ptr, newVal);
return result;
}
}
This change implements that simplification, and all the same tests pass (including whatever tests we had for function-`static` variables).

The `GlobalGenericParamSubsitution` class used to be used to represent the mapping of global-scope generic parameters to their concrete arguments, so that we could make use of those concrete arguments for things like layout. That representation caused a lot of pain for other parts of the compiler, though, because everything that dealt with `Substitution`s needed to account for the possibility of global-generic-param subsitutions even if they logically could not occur in most parts of the compiler.
We have since moved to a model where the values for global-scope generic parameters are stored in a single explicit global structure that is used by both layout computation and IR lowering. There is no actual code that construct `GlobalGenericParamSubstitution`s from scratch any more, so all of the support code for them was actually unused.
This change removes all the unused code, and shows that the tests still pass without it (even the tests that use global-scope generic parameters).

The problem would manifest for any code that declared a DXR 1.1 `RayQuery` value, but then only used it as one location in their code.
The most common way for this to arise in user code was declaring a `RayQuery` and then handing it off to a helper/worker subroutine.
RayQuery<0> myRayQuery;
helperRoutine(myRayQuery, ...);
The root cause was in the emit logic, where the initialization of `myRayQuery` above (a `defaultConstruct` operation in our IR) was getting folded into its (only) use site.
This folding makes some sense, because the initialization of a ray query is not an operation with side effects, but doesn't work in practice because our way of handling default construction in HLSL output is by using a variable declaration.
The simple fix here is to ensure that `defaultConstruct` instructions never get folded into use sites.
If we decide to revisit the logic here, it might be possible to separate out the case where a `defaultConstruct` is being used as a stand-alone instruction, where we can emit it as:
RayQuery<0> myRayQuery;
versus cases where the `defaultConstruct` is being used as a sub-expression, such as:
helperRoutine(RayQuery<0>(), ...);
Whether or not we can emit the latter form (or if it would be equivalent) depends on details of how constructors like this are being implemented in dxc.
For now it seems safest to emit things in a form that is obviously expected to work.
Aside: Historically, the HLSL language has had no notion of "constructors" as being a thing.
A variable that is declared but not initialized in HLSL has always been left uninitialized, since the first version of the language.
The `RayQuery` type in DXR 1.1 is the first example of a type that appears to have a C++-style "default constructor," although HLSL as implemented by dxc still does not expose constructors as a user-visible or documented feature.
(There is the small detail that the DXR 1.0 `HitGroup` type also relied on C++ constructor syntax, but I'm not aware of anybody using that feature right now, so it is mostly a curiosity.)

This change converts a large number of our existing tests to use the `ShaderObject` support that was added to the `gfx` layer.
In many cases, tests were just updated to pass `-shaderobj` and the result Just Worked.
In other cases, a `name` attribute had to be added to one or more `TEST_INPUT` lines.
For tests that did not work with shader objects "out of the box," I spent a little bit of time trying to get them work, but fell back to letting those tests run in the older mode.
Future changes to the infrastructure will be needed to get those additional tests working in the new path.
Along with the changes to test files, the following implementation changes were made to get additional tests working:
* Because the shader object mode uses explicit register bindings (from reflection), the hacky logic that was offseting `u` registers for D3D12 based on the number of render targets gets disabled (by another hack).
* The "flat" reflection information coming from Slang was not correctly reporting "binding ranges" for things that consumed only uniform data (which would be everything on CUDA/CPU), so it was refactored to properly include binding ranges for anything where the type of the field/variable implied a binding range should be created (even if the `LayoutResourceKind` was `::Uniform`).
* A few fixes were made to the CUDA implementation of `Renderer`, in order to get additional tests up and running. Most of these changes had to do with texture bindings, which hadn't really been tested previously.
In addition, a few changes were made that were attempts at getting more tests working, but didn't actually help. These could be dropped if requested:
* As a quality-of-life feature (not being used) the `object` style of `TEST_INPUT` line is upgraded to support inferring the type to use from the type of the input being set.
* Any `object` shader input lines get ignored in non-shader-object mode.

This provides a stand-alone option distinct from `-profile` that can be used to add capabilities to a target. A test has been added to confirm that `-profile X -capability Y` works the same as `-profile X+Y`.
The intention is that this option could be used in applications that use the API to set up their target but then use the options-parsing logic to handle things like capabilities.
Note: that latter bit has not been confirmed, so it is possible that this approach does not actually suffice for hybrid API + options usage. That will need to be confirmed in follow-up work.

This adds the `[noinline]` attribute to the front-end, and passes it through when generating HLSL output.
Notes:
* This change doesn't include a test since the dxc version I have locally parses `[noinline]` but then generates DXIL that fails validation.
* This change doesn't include logic to handle `[noinline]` for other targets. Notably, SPIR-V has decorations that convey the same intention, but we don't yet take advantage of the GLSL extension(s) that would let us generate those decorations.
* By necesstiy, `[noinline]` is only a "strong suggestion" and not actually something the compiler can ever guarantee/enforce.

* Add basic GLSL support for SV_Barycentrics
This change allows for fragment shader varying inputs marked with the `SV_Barycentrics` semantic to be mapped to GLSL code using the `gl_BaryCoordNV` builtin variable (from he `GL_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric` extension).
This is the simplest possible change to get the functionality up and running, and it leaves out many things that could be desired in a more feature-complete version of the feature later:
* There is no support for alternative extensions that provide similar functionality. Selection of which extension to favor could eventually be based on the "capability" work that has been put in place.
* There is no attempt made to check that the input has the expected type (or to coerce it if it doesn't), so for now this is only going to be guaranteed to work for a `float3` input.
* This change does not expose the `pervertexNV` qualifier added in the `GL_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric` extension, which can be used by a shader to access the uninterpolated vertex inputs.
The last issue is an important one, since the HLSL `GetAttributeAtVertex` function seems to be defiend to work with *any* incoming varying parameter that was marked with `nointerpolation`. When we have a `nointerpolation` input, it would seem that we need to know whether it will be used with `GetAttributeAtVertex` (in which case it should be declared as a `pervertexNV` array input in GLSL) or not (in which case it should be declared as a `nointerpolation` input, without an array).

* Use "capability" system to select VKRT extension
Slang currently supports translation of ray tracing shader code to Vulkan GLSL code that uses the `GL_NV_ray_tracing` extension. A multi-vendor equivalent of that extension has been released as `GL_EXT_ray_tracing` and we want Slang to support that extension as well.
At the simplest, making the change from one extension to the other is just a matter of changing a few strings, since it does not appear that anything of significance was changed at the GLSL level (or even in SPIR-V). Where this gets trickier is when we have users who want us to support *both* extensions, and to be able to switch between them.
The solution we've implemented here more or less amounts to:
* If you don't tell the compiler which extension to use, it will default to `GL_EXT_ray_tracing` (the newer multi-vendor one).
* If you explicitly want the older extension, you can opt into it using the `-profile` option or via a new API for explicitly adding capabilities to your target.
Making that work required a few different kinds of changes:
* The options parsing and public API needed ways to add optional capabilities to a target.
* During GLSL code emit, we can check the capabilities that were added to the target to see if the `GL_NV_ray_tracing` extension was explicitly enabled and, if not, default to using the `GL_EXT_ray_tracing` names for things. This step is needed because some of the modifiers/attributes involved in the extension have to be handled explicitly in the code generator rather than implicitly as part of mapping intrinsic functions.
* We add two different translations to the relevant operatiosn in the stdlib, one marked with each of the extensions. If profile/capability-based overload resolution can be relied on to pick the right one, this should Just Work.
* Next, a bunch of work had to go into making capability-based overloading Just Work for the purposes of this change. There's been a nearly complete reworking of the implementation of `CapabilitySet` here to make it more suitable for our needs.
* The tests that were using ray tracing translation for Vulkan needed to be updated. For some of them I updated their baselines to use `GL_EXT_ray_tracing` so that they can test the new path. For others, I updated the command line for the test case so that it explicitly opts into using `GL_NV_ray_tracing`. The result is that we have some coverage of each extension. I would have liked to have each test run in both modes, but our pass-through glslang support doesn't support `-D` options, so I couldn't take that step easily.
This change does *not* add support for `GL_EXT_ray_query`, the extension that supports "DXR 1.1" style queries under Vulkan. Adding support for that extension should hopefully be a smaller step because it doesn't have the same multiple-extensions issue.
This change does *not* address a lot of possible avenues for improvement or cleanup around the capability system. It focuses only on those changes that are necessary to make the ray tracing feature work and leaves the rest for future work.

* Add first steps toward a "capability" system
We already have cases in the stdlib where we mark declarations as being specific to certain targets, e.g.:
```
// My ordinary function to add two numbers.
// Works everywhere.
//
void myFunc(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
// On the "coolgpu" target, we can use a secret intrinsic
// that adds numbers even faster!
//
__specialized_for_target(coolgpu)
void myFunc(int a, int b) { return __secretIntrinsic(a, b); }
```
The existing logic for dealing with these modifiers (`__specialized_for_target` and `__target_intrinsic`) was almost entirely string-based. We would turn the chosen compilation target into a string, and then use that to try and search for the "best" definition of a function at a few steps:
* During IR linking, we always pick one definition of an `[import]`ed function, and that definition will be the one with the "best" target-specialization modifier (if any)
* During final code generation, we always look up the "best" target-intrinsic modifier, and use it as the template for the code we output.
This change preserves the basic flow there, but replaces the ad hoc string-based logic with something a bit more principled, in terms of a new `CapabilitySet` type.
A `CapabilitySet` represents a set of zero or more atomic features (here represented as `CapabilityAtom`s). What a `CapabilitySet` means depends on how and where it is used:
* A compilation target implies a `CapabilitySet` where the contents of the set are the features the target *supports*.
* A `CapabilitySet` attached to a declaration (or a modifier on that declaration) describes a set of feature that declaration *requires*.
The current implementation of `CapabilitySet` is wasteful and inefficient, but that is something we can iterate on over time.
In practice, most of the current code only ever uses capability sets that are either empty (because they represent a function with no specific requirements) or singleton (because they represent asingle atomic capability like "is a GLSL target," "is an HLSL target," etc.).
The main goal here was to put in the skeleton of a new system, including some of the features it might need down the line, and then to leave changes that eventually use the greater flexibility for later. Eventually, the capability system should encompass:
* Differences between shader model versions, GLSL versions, SPIR-V versions, etc. (currently tracked with other modifiers)
* Optional extensions, and functions that are made available only with certain extensions (currently tracked with other modifiers)
* Front-end checking that the call graph of a program doesn't violate any capability-requirements (e.g., having a GLSL+HLSL portable function call a GLSL-only subroutine)
* Hypothetically we can also try to fold stage-specific (vertex-only, fragment-only, etc.) functions into this system, but doing so would require more linker cleverness if we allow overloading on stages (since we might have to clone a caller if it calls through to a callee with multiple stage-specific versions)
One important complication that the system has to deal with just because of the "do what I mean" nature of the current compiler is that somethings a current Slang user might compile for target X and specify version N, but then use a function that actually requires version N+1 of that target. Currently the Slang compiler silently "upgrades" the version(s) used by user code in these cases, because it is often what users want in cross-compilation scenarios.
Dealing with the "silent upgrade" situation requires us to be a little careful and sometimes pick a "best" capability set that doesn't appear to be supported on our target. Refining that system and potentially getting rid of the "do what I mean" behavior over time could be a goal for future changes.

The refactor of type legalization in PR #1594 introduced a subtle problem where an IR instruction might be removed from the hierachy (perhaps because its parent was removed during legalization) but would still be on the work list. Legalization of such instructions is wasteful (since it would never impact the output), but it also creates a problem if we try to insert new legalized instructions next to such a removed instruction. The logic for inserting an instruction before/after another asserts that the sibling instruction must have a parent, and leads to a failure in debug builds and a potential crash in release builds.
This change adds a bit of defensive code to skip any instructions that appear to have been removed from the hierarchy (because they have no parent and are not the root/module instruction). An alternative approach would be to try to detect these instructions at the point where they would be added to the work list, but this approach seems simpler and more general.

* "Shader Toy" example and related fixes
This change introduces a new `shader-toy` example program that is primarily designed to show how Slang's features for type-based encapsulation and modularity can be applied to modularity for effects along the lines of those from `shadertoy.com`.
The Example
-----------
The example is being checked in with an example "toy" effect that I hastily put together, so that it would not be encumbered with any IP concerns. I wrote the effect using the shadertoy.com editor, so I can be sure it is valid GLSL. During bringup of the application I used a pre-existing and larger effect for testing, so some of the support code that was added is not being used at present.
The big-picture idea here is to have an exmaple that shows how to modularize things using Slang interfaces and generics, and then to use the Slang compiler API to manage the compilation, composition, specialization, and linking steps. For better or worse this leads to the sequence of API calls involved being much longer than what was in something like the `hello-world` example.
Future Work (Example)
---------------------
There is a lot of room for improvement and expansion here, so this should be viewed as a checkpoint of work in progress rather than something I'm claiming as a finalized demonstration of all we'd like to achieve. Areas for future work include:
* We need to copy the integration of "Dear, IMGUI" that was already done for the `model-viewer` example so that this example can have a UI.
* Now that the compilation flow is broken into all these additional steps, it should be possible to have the application load multiple effects as distinct modules, and then provide a UI for switching between them. The chosen effect module would be used to specialize the top-level shader(s) before kernel generation.
* The checked-in logic includes a compute shader that can execute an effect, but that hasn't been tested nor has it been wired up to any kind of UI. We should have a way to switch between multiple execution methods, with a goal of eventually including CPU execution.
* The "GLSL compatibility" code needs a lot of improvements before it is likely to be usable for a nontrivial number of shaders. Some of that work is waiting on Slang compiler fixes, though.
* We should consider allowing the individual "toy" effects to define their own uniform parameters and expose those via a UI and reflection. The catch in this case is not that this would be difficult to do, but that it would be a semantic change to how shader toy effects currently work.
The Compiler Fixes
------------------
Doing this work exposed a few bugs in Slang, and this change includes fixes for the ones that were quick to address.
We already had logic in `slang-check-shader.cpp` that was validating the entry points in a compile request - either by checking the explicitly-listed entry points, or by scanning for `[shader("...")]` attributes. The problem is that the routine that did that checking was not being invoked on all compiles. The logic that handled entry points was only being run for manual compiles using `SlangCompileRequest`, while anything using `import` or `loadModule` would ignore entry points. I refactored the relevant code into a subroutine that will be invoked in all compilation scenarios.
There were already `TODO` comments in `SpecializedComponentType` which made the point about how a specialized entry point like `myShader<YourType>` would need to properly show that it has dependencies on both the module that defines `myShader` *and* the module that defines `YourType`, while only the former was being handled at present. I went ahead and implemented the logic to scan the generic arguments for a specialized compoment type in order to determine what module(s) the arguments depend on (both type arguments and witness tables). With that change, using `IComponentType::link` on a specialized component will properly pull in the module(s) that the generic arguments come from.
In `slang-ir-legalize-types.cpp` we could run into assertion failures in debug builds because of code trying to legalize layout `IRAttr`s for fields or parameters with types that need legalization. In practice it is safe to skip these layout attributes, because legalization of the fields/parameters they pertain to would result in creation of entirely new layout attributes, and the old ones would then be unreferenced.
Future Work (Fixes)
-------------------
There are other compiler bugs that this work exposed, but which this change does not address. These will need to be resolved as part of subsequent changes:
* Slang allows for default-initialization of variables of a generic type. That is, given `<T : ISomething>` a user is allowed to declare `T x = {};` and the Slang front-end does not complain. Instead, this leads to an internal compiler error during IR lowering.
* The Slang `__init()` feature probably needs to be upgraded to a properly supported feature, and we probably need a way to make implementing default-initialization an easy thing (e.g., any `struct` type that has initial-value expressions for all its fields should automatically and implicitly satsify an `init();` requirement declared in an interface)
* Iniside an `__init()` definition, code has mutable access to members of the enclosing type, but for some reason the front-end is incorrectly treating `this` as immutable in those contexts. As a result you can write to `someField` but not `this.someField`.
* User-defined operator overloads flat out don't work (which isn't surprising given that no clients have decided to use them yet, and we have no test coverage for them). This is actually due to the shadowing rules being used for lookup right now, so a fix for this issue is going to have far-reaching consequences around what overloads are visible where (and anything that impacts overload resolution is a big can of worms, including around performance).

Slang generates code that turns the implicit `this` parameter of a method into an explicit parameter. The logic that decides whether that parameter should be `inout` is a bit involved, and there was a bug where a generic method would lead to the use of an `in` modifier (the default) and override the `inout` modifier that was requested by the method itself.
This change fixes the logic to treat generic declarations in the parent chain of a leaf method as having no bearing on whether an implicit `this` parameter should be `inout` or not.
A test case is included that breaks with the old behavior, and demonstrates that a generic `[mutating]` method can now work correctly.
