For now this target just uses the same builtins-*.ll files as the
regular AVX1 target. Once the gather intrinsic is available from
LLVM, we'll want to have custom target files that call out to that
for gathers. (The integer min/max intrinsics should be wired up to
the __{min,max}_varying_{int,uint}*() builtins at that point as
well.)
Previously, they all went into one big pile that was never cleaned up;
this was the wrong thing to do in a world where one might have a
function declaration inside another functions, say.
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
Specifically, indexing into global arrays sometimes comes in as a big
llvm::ConstantVector, so we need to handle traversing those as well when
we do the corresponding checks in GatherScatterFlattenOpt so that we
still detect cases where we can convert them into the base pointer +
offsets form that's used in later analysis.
The packed_{load,store}_active now functions take a pointer to a
location at which to start loading/storing, rather than an array
base and a uniform index.
Variants of the prefetch functions that take varying pointers
are now available.
There are now variants of the various atomic functions that take
varying pointers (issue #112).
The launch group handle is now reset to NULL after sync is called;
this ensures that if tasks are launched in the same function after
a sync, that the ISPCAlloc() call for the next launch will be
passed a NULL handle (as it should be).
Allow <, <=, >, >= comparisons of pointers
Allow explicit type-casting of pointers to and from integers
Fix bug in handling expressions of the form "int + ptr" ("ptr + int"
was fine).
Fix a bug in TypeCastExpr where varying -> uniform typecasts
would be allowed (leading to a crash later)
