The specific example is a shader where I replace calls of beginFragmentShaderOrderingINTEL() with beginInvocationInterlockARB() and the created assembly is the same. Running with INTEL_DEBUG=fs produced identical output except the SSA NIR had the different opcode. AFAIK, the current Mesa implementation of the ARB extension does not in any way shape or form enforce any of "no control flow", "only once and only in main" requirements. Indeed, Mesa happily accepts code even without the endInvocationInterlockARB() call as well.  Personally, I am happy that it is more accepting rather than rejecting the code.

That's actually terrible and needs to be fixed ASAP.  That's how we end
up with the "it works on <some vendor>" rubbish that has basically
ruined GLSL.
