The main change I was working on here was to start having more of the builtin functions (in this case, `cos`, `sin`, and `saturate`) just lower to the IR as calls to builtin functions (with declarations but no definition), rather than expect/require them to map to individual IR opcodes in every case.
The main change there was the removal of some `intrinsic_op` modifiers in the stdlib. This then requires the `isTargetInstrinsic` logic in IR-based code emit to avoid emitting declarations for these intrinsics.
The corresponding logic for emitting *calls* to these intrinsics is currently being skipped.
Along the way, a variety of fixups were added:
- In order to support lowering to GLSL, we need to handle cases where a variable/function name uses a GLSL reserved word. The right long-term fix there is to always use generated or mangled names, but for now I'm hacking it by adding a `_s` prefix to all names during IR-based emit.
- This needs a flag to disable it, since some of our tests currently rely on checking binding information from generated HLSL/SPIR-V that will include these mangled/modified names.
- Emit matrix layout modifiers appropriately for GLSL
- Specialize IR parameter-block emission between GLSL and HLSL
- Fix up argument count/index logic for a couple of opcodes that weren't fixed when removing the types from the explicit operand list
- Fix up IR generation for calls to declarations with generic arguments. We were briefly adding the generic args to the ordinary argument list, which added complexity in several places. We now rely on the declaration-reference nodes in the IR to carry that extra info.
- TODO: We actually need to make sure that this is the case, since we don't currently correctly generated specialized decl-refs when building IR for function calls
The main test that would have been affected by this is `cross-compile-entry-point`, but I was not able to get that working fully with the IR. The main problem in this case was that when emitting GLSL we will need to perform certain required transformations on the IR to get legal code for GLSL. Notably:
- We need to hoist entry-point parameters away from being function parameters, and make them be global variables. This is currently being hand-waved during the emit logic, but it seems way better to have it all get cleaned up in the IR first.
- We need to scalarize entry-point parameters, because structure input/output is not supported as vertex input or fragment output (and it may be best to always scalarize anyway, to match HLSL semantics). (Note: "scalarize" here means to bust up structures, but not matrices/vectors)

The main interesting change here is around support for lowering of calls to "subscript" operations (what a C++ programmer would think of as `operator[]`).
An important infrastructure change here was to add an explicit AST-node representation for a "static member expression" which we use whenever a member is looked up in a type as opposed to a value. The implementation of this probably isn't robust yet, but it turns out to be important to be able to tell such cases apart.

The code previously had an enumerated type for "intrinsic" operations, and allowed functions to be marked `__intrinsic_op(...)` to indicate the operation they map to.
The nature of the IR meant that each of these intrinsic ops had to have a corresponding IR opcode, but the `enum` types weren't the same.
This change cleans things up a bit by deciding that the `__intrinsic_op(...)` modifier names an actual IR opcode, and so the `IntrinsicOp` enum is gone.
The biggest source of complexity here is that there are certain operations that need to be "intrinsic"-ish for the purposes of the current AST-based translation path, because we need them to round-trip from source to AST and back.
Right now this is being handled by defining a bunch of "pseudo-ops" which can be used in the `__intrinsic_op` modifier, but which are *not* meant to be represented in the IR.
Currently I don't actually handle this during IR generation.
In the long run, once we are using IR for everything that needs cross-compilation, we should be able to eliminate the pseudo-ops in favor of just having these be ordinary (inline) functions defined in the stdlib (e.g., the `+=` operator can just have a direct definition).
There was a second category of modifier that gets a little caught up in this, which is the `__intrinsic` modifier, which got used in two ways:
1. A function marked `__intrinsic(glsl, ...)` had what I call a "target intrinsic" modifier, which specified how to lower it for a specific target (e.g., GLSL).
2. A function just marked `__intrinsic` was supposed to be a marker for "this function shouldn't be emitted in the output, because the implementation is expected to be provided"
The latter category of function should really be an `__intrinsic_op`, so I translated all those uses. I added a tiny bit of sugar so that `__intrinsic_op` without an explicit opcode will look up an opcode based on the name of the function being called, so that an operation like `sin` can automatically be plumbed through to an equivalent IR op. (The first category is a stopgap for the AST-based cross-compilation, and will hopefully be replaced by something better as we get the IR-based path working).
Getting the switch from `__intrinsic` to `__intrinsic_op` working required shuffling around some code in `emit.cpp` that handles looking up those modifiers and emitting builtin operations appropriately during cross-compilation.
Depending on where we go with things, a possible extension of this approach is to allow multiple operands to `__intrinsic_op` so that the first specifies the opcode, and then the rest are literal arguments to specify "sub-ops." This could help us handle stuff like texture-fetch operations without an explosion in the number of opcodes. I still need to think about whether this is a good idea or not.

This gets us far enough that we can convert a single test case to use the IR, under the new `-use-ir` flag.
Getting this merged into mainline will at least ensure that we keep the IR path working in a minimal fashion, even when we have to add functionality the existing AST-based path
There is definitely some clutter here from keeping both IR-based and AST-based translation around, but I don't want to have a long-lived branch for the IR that gets further and further away from the `master` branch that is actually getting used and tested.
Summary of changes:
- Add pointer types and basic `load` operation to be able to handle variable declarations
- Add basic `call` instruction type
- Add simple address math for field reference in l-value
- Always add IR for referenced decls to global scope
- Add notion of "intrinsic" type modifier, which maps a type declaration directly to an IR opcode (plus optional literal operands to handle things like texture/sampler flavor)
- Improve printing of IR instructions, types, operands
- Add constant-buffer type to IR
- Allow any instruction to be detected as "should be folded into use sites" and use this to tag things of constant-buffer type
- Also add logic for implicit base on member expressions, to handle references to `cbuffer` members
- Add connection back to original decl to IR variables (including global shader parameters...)
- Use reflection name instead of true name when emitting HLSL from IR (so that we can match HLSL output)
- Make IR include decorations for type layout
- Re-use existing emit logic for HLSL semantics to output `register` semantics for IR-based code
- Make IR-based codegen be an option we can enable from the command line
- It still isn't on by default (it can barely manage a trivial shader), but it seems better to enable it always instead of putting it under an `#ifdef`
- Fix up how we check for intrinsic operations suring AST-based cross compilation so that adding new intrinsic ops for the IR won't break codegen.

Fixes #84
- When computing resource usage for an array type, don't multiply the resource usage of the element type by the element count foor descriptor-table-slot resources.
- When reporting the "stride" of an array type through reflection, report the stride for descriptor table slots as zero, always.

This includes a bunch of related changes:
- `slang-test`
- Add a notion of an "output mode" that specifies whether we output to console (the default), or invoke the apprpriate AppVeyor command to update test status
- Add a notion of test categories, so that tests can be tagged with categories, and then we can invoke only those tets in a given category, or choose to *exclude* tests with specific categories
- Allow the `OSProcessSpawner` to look up an executable by "path" (meaning a full path is expected) or by "name" (meaning it should be allowed to look in the current directory, `PATH` environment variable, etc.). This was important to make sure that I can run `appveyor` without having to know its absolute path.
- AppVeyor configuration
- Change badge to reflect new build account for organization (rather than a single-user account)
- Remove attempt to set AppVeyor build version in a clever way, since it breaks links from GitHub to AppVeyor
- Change order or configurations in the build matrix to front-load the Release build (which has the main tests)
- Turn on `fast_finish` flag so we don't have to wait as long for failed builds
- Turn on `parallel` builds
- Set `verbosity: minimal` to avoid getting build spew about Xamarin stuff I'm not using
- Add custom `test_script` to invoke `test.bat`
- Sets the test category based on teh build configuration, so we don't run the full test suite on every input.
- `test.bat`
- Allow for `-platform` and `-configuration` arguments
- Rewrute a platform of `Win32` over to `x86` to match how the output directories are named
- Futz around with how the directories are being passed along to work around annoying `.bat` file quoting behavior (I still don't get how batch files work)
- Tests
- Mark a bunch of tests as `smoke` tests
- Mark the relevant tests as `render` tests
(these get filtered out for AppVeyor builds)
