[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] glsl: Simplify aggregate type inference to prepare for ARB_arrays_of_arrays.

Most of the time it is not necessary to perform type inference to
compile GLSL; the type of every expression can be inferred from the
contents of the expression itself (and previous type declarations).
The exception is aggregate initializers: their type is determined by
the LHS of the variable being assigned to.  For example, in the
statement:

   mat2 foo = { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } };

the type of { 1, 2 } is only known to be vec2 (as opposed to, say,
ivec2, uvec2, int[2], or a struct) because of the fact that the result
is being assigned to a mat2.

Previous to this patch, we handled this situation by doing some type
inference during parsing: when parsing a declaration like the one
above, we would call _mesa_set_aggregate_type(), which would infer the
type of each aggregate initializer and store it in the corresponding
ast_aggregate_initializer::constructor_type field.  Since this
happened at parse time, we couldn't do the type inference using
glsl_type objects; we had to use ast_type_specifiers, which are much
more awkward to work with.  Things are about to get more complicated
when we add support for ARB_arrays_of_arrays.

This patch simplifies things by postponing the call to
_mesa_set_aggregate_type() until ast-to-hir time, when we have access
to glsl_type objects.  As a side benefit, we only need to have one
call to _mesa_set_aggregate_type() now, instead of six.

Timothy: I was inspired to write this patch by the complexities you
encountered during "[PATCH V2 5/8] glsl: Aggregate initializer support
for arrays of array".  Can you try rebasing your series on top of this
patch to see if it simplifies things?  I believe that with these
changes, you should be able to drop patch 5/8 entirely.
