[Mesa-dev] [PATCH V2 7/9] glsl: Add support for comparing function parameter conversions

[Chris Forbes]

The ARB_gpu_shader5 spec says:

"To determine whether the conversion for a single argument in one match is
better than that for another match, the following rules are applied, in
order:

  1. An exact match is better than a match involving any implicit
     conversion.

  2. A match involving an implicit conversion from float to double is
     better than a match involving any other implicit conversion.

  3. A match involving an implicit conversion from either int or uint to
     float is better than a match involving an implicit conversion from
     either int or uint to double.

If none of the rules above apply to a particular pair of conversions,
neither conversion is considered better than the other."
