[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v3 06/10] mesa/st/glsl_to_tgsi: Add tracking of ifelse writes in register merging

Gert Wollny gw.fossdev at gmail.com
Wed Oct 25 09:51:48 UTC 2017


Improve the life-time evaluation of temporary registers by also tracking
writes in both if and else branches and in up to 32 nested scopes.
As a result the estimated required register life-times can be further
reduced enabling more registers to be merged.
