Arrays are allowed for clip/cull distance semantics. Their maximum size
is 2 since that's the maximum amount of registers allowed for clip/cull
distances.
Indirect addressing of these arrays is allowed on shader model 6.
These tests are introduced after the transformation of clip/cull
input/outputs into arrays in vsir since otherwise they segfault.
Takes care of transforming clip/cull system values from the Direct3D
convention of 2 4-component registers, into the SPIR-V/GLSL convention
of 8-element scalar float arrays.
This fixes SPIR-V validation errors in clip-cull-distance.shader_test,
as well as segfaults on Mesa 25.1.1-arch1.2 if those shaders are
executed regardless.
We create indexable temporaries of the appropriate size, and replace
accesses to clip/cull I/O signature elements with accesses to those
temporaries. The existing clip/cull signature elements are then replaced
with new scalar signature element arrays, and we copy the contents of
those I/O signature elements to/from the corresponding temporaries at
the start/end of the vsir program.
It is worth pointing out that the current implementation assumes that
every instance of the control point phase of a hull shader only writes
to the output registers of its control point, given by
vOutputControlPointID, and not to other control points. Shader
compilation will fail if that constraint is violated.
The main reason is to avoid making false assumptions in the code.
I don't know how that could be used, say, to introduce a security
bug, but I think validating untrusted input should be done by
default.
Conveniently this also acts as documentation for who needs to know
what fields we indeed expect to find in a well-known structure.
In the projected case, (1.2, 0.5) divided by 2.0 results in (0.6, 0.25) as
effective coordinates. The 0.25 y-coordinate is well within the second row of
texels; that's fine. On the other hand, the 0.6 x-coordinate falls right
between the third and fourth column of texels. The test expects the fourth
column to be selected, but that's very fragile: neither 1.2 nor 0.6 can be
exactly represented as a 32-bit floating-point value, and it only takes a
single ulp to push things to the other side of the edge.
Constant numeric local variables can be used in places were literals are
expected if they're initialized with a static expression.
Storing such constant in ctx->static_initializers allows copy-prop to
handle such cases properly.
