Previously all NIR<br>
usage relied on GLSL to have lowered functions away entirely. As a result,<br>
any support for functions that was there was dead code and not really<br>
tested. With SPIR-V on the horizon, NIR will need real function support.<br>
<br>
The series starts by deleting some dead code in glsl_to_nir and then<br>
reworking the way functions and parameters are handled. Here's the new<br>
(i.e., actually well-defined) scheme:<br>
<br>
- The nir_function_impl struct has a params array that contains pointers<br>
to the variables that are the functions arguments and a return_var array<br>
that, if not NULL points to the return variable.<br>
- Each of these variables has the "param" mode and does not exist in any<br>
variable list but instead is reachable only through the params array or<br>
the return_var pointer.<br>
- Each variable with the "param" mode has a location. For parameters,<br>
that location is the index into the param array; for return values, the<br>
location is defined to be -1.<br>
- Parameters and return values are not printed with the list of locals but<br>
are, instead, only printed in the argument list and are now printed with<br>
their type.<br>
<br>
Since glsl_to_nir, prog_to_nir, and tgsi_to_nir never produce any functions<br>
other than main(), it's safe to do these reworks in basically any order.<br>
<br>
The next part of the series builds up to doing function inlining. However,<br>
function inlining requires return lowering which pass depends on being able<br>
to repair SSA form when it's done so we need an SSA repair pass. This, in<br>
turn requires a phi builder and, while we're at it, we might as well rework<br>
the into-SSA pass. Yeah, I know, it's kind of the long way there, but what<br>
can you do?<br>
<br>
Once we have an SSA repair pass, return lowering and function inlining come<br>
fairly quickly. However, in order to make return lowering possible, we<br>
have to patch up control-flow handling so it doesn't break when we try<br>
remove stuff from the top level of the function.<br>
<br>
