[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v3 1/3] mesa: Add a _mesa_active_fragment_shader_has_side_effects helper

[Iago Toral Quiroga]

Some drivers can disable the FS unit if there is nothing in the shader code
that writes to an output (i.e. color, depth, etc). Right now, mesa has
a function to check for atomic buffers and the i965 driver also checks for
images. Refactor this logic into a generic function that we can use for
any source of side effects in a fragment shader. Sugested by Jason.
