[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] glsl: Add a lowering pass to remove reads of shader output variables.

Tue Jan 3 02:08:32 PST 2012


From: Vincent Lejeune <vljn at ovi.com>

This is similar to Gallium's existing glsl_to_tgsi::remove_output_read
lowering pass, but done entirely inside the GLSL compiler.

v4 [Kayden]:
 - Use hash_table_call_foreach, as suggested by Ian, removing the need for
   an array and the replacement_pair struct.  (Thanks Ian!  I knew such a
   function had to exist, but somehow missed it the other day...)
