Accept 'u' and 'l' suffixes to force the constants to be corresponding types.
Just carry around a single 64-bit int value in yylval rather than having both
32- and 64-bit variants.
These make it easier to iterate over arbitrary amounts of data
elements; specifically, they automatically handle the "ragged
extra bits" that come up when the number of elements to be
processed isn't evenly divided by programCount.
TODO: documentation
Pointers can be either uniform or varying, and behave correspondingly.
e.g.: "uniform float * varying" is a varying pointer to uniform float
data in memory, and "float * uniform" is a uniform pointer to varying
data in memory. Like other types, pointers are varying by default.
Pointer-based expressions, & and *, sizeof, ->, pointer arithmetic,
and the array/pointer duality all bahave as in C. Array arguments
to functions are converted to pointers, also like C.
There is a built-in NULL for a null pointer value; conversion from
compile-time constant 0 values to NULL still needs to be implemented.
Other changes:
- Syntax for references has been updated to be C++ style; a useful
warning is now issued if the "reference" keyword is used.
- It is now illegal to pass a varying lvalue as a reference parameter
to a function; references are essentially uniform pointers.
This case had previously been handled via special case call by value
return code. That path has been removed, now that varying pointers
are available to handle this use case (and much more).
- Some stdlib routines have been updated to take pointers as
arguments where appropriate (e.g. prefetch and the atomics).
A number of others still need attention.
- All of the examples have been updated
- Many new tests
TODO: documentation
Both uniform and varying function pointers are supported; when a function
is called through a varying function pointer, each unique function pointer
value across the running program instances is called once for the set of
active program instances that want to call it.
The stuff in decl.h/decl.cpp is messy, largely due to its close mapping
to C-style variable declarations. This checkin has updated code throughout
all of the declaration statement, variable, and function code that operates
on symbols and types directly. Thus, Decl* related stuff is now localized
to decl.h/decl.cpp and the parser.
Issue #13.
This commit adds support for swizzles like "foo.zy" (if "foo" is,
for example, a float<3> type) as rvalues. (Still need support for
swizzles as lvalues.)
