From this point on, it is no longer true that only hlsl_ir_loads can
return objects, because an object can also come from chain of
hlsl_ir_indexes that ends in an hlsl_ir_load.
The lower_index_loads pass takes care of lowering all hlsl_ir_indexes
into hlsl_ir_loads.
For this reason, hlsl_resource_load_params now expects both the resource
as the sampler to be just an hlsl_ir_node pointer instead of a pointer
to a more specific hlsl_ir_load.
This node type is intended for use during parse-time.
While we parse an indexing expression such as "a[3]", we don't know if
it will end up as part of an expression (in which case it must be folded
into a load) or it is for the lhs of a store (in which case it must be
folded into the store's deref).
Prevent them from being ever looked up.
Our naming scheme for synthetic variables already effectively prevents this, but
this is better for clarity. We also will need to be able to move some named
variables into a dummy scope to account for complexities around function
definition and declarations.
Reinterpret min16float, min10float, min16int, min12int, and min16uint
as their regular counterparts: float, float, int, int, uint,
respectively.
A proper implementation would require adding minimum precision
indicators to all the dxbc-tpf instructions that use these types.
Consider the output of fxc 10.1 with the following shader:
uniform int i;
float4 main() : sv_target
{
min16float4 a = {0, 1, 2, i};
min16int2 b = {4, i};
min10float3 c = {6.4, 7, i};
min12int d = 9.4;
min16uint4x2 e = {14.4, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, i};
return mul(e, b) + a + c.xyzx + d;
}
However, if the graphics driver doesn't have minimum precision support,
it ignores the minimum precision indicators and runs at 32-bit
precision, which is equivalent as working with regular types.
