[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2 7/8] nir: add loop unroll support for wrapper loops

[Timothy Arceri]

This adds support for unrolling the classic

    do {
        // ...
    } while (false)

that is used to wrap multi-line macros. GLSL IR also wraps switch
statements in a loop like this.

shader-db results IVB:

total loops in shared programs: 2515 -> 2512 (-0.12%)
loops in affected programs: 33 -> 30 (-9.09%)

HURT: 0
