The current TPF validator enforces that for each register involved
in a DCL_INDEX_RANGE instruction there must be a signature element
for that register and the DCL_INDEX_RANGE write mask. This is an
excessively strong request, and causes some shaders from The Falconeer
to be invalidly rejected.
The excessively strong check was needed to avoid triggering a bug
in the I/O normaliser. Since that bug is now solved, the check
can be relaxed.
Since this test depend on the specific code generated by the
native d3dcompiler we add the possibility to specify a "raw"
shader using a hex format. When the shader assembler is finally
available they should be replaced with assembly code.
swprintf() expects the length of the buffer in WCHARs instead of bytes,
so ARRAY_SIZE() is used instead of sizeof().
This caused almost all tests to terminate abruptly with the following
message, in my machine:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
