Right. What we can do is similar to the loop of optimizations: put this
code in a loop and if one of the iterations marked some area as 64-bit
one, we repeat the process until no more progress is done. Then we are
sure we mark all overlapping areas with the same block size.

What I was talking about is that this is not due to GLSL shader
declarations itself, but because of the way we are doing things inside
the driver due to HW limitations.

Agreed.

Right.

What do you think about a solution like: fix the is_live_64_bit bug with
last element; take out the contiguous block tracking logic from
set_push_pull_constant_loc(); have a loop that looks for contiguous
areas, mark them with the largest block size accessed in each area,
repeat the process until no more progress can be done.

I am going to develop this solution and see if I am missing something else.
