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.
In practice they never fail. If they fail, it means that there
is some underlying platform problem and there is little we can do
anyway. Under pthreads function prototypes allow returning failure,
but that's only used for "error checking" mutexes, which we
don't use.
On the other hand, error handling in vkd3d is rather inconsistent:
sometimes the errors are ignored, sometimes logged, sometimes
passed to the caller. It's hard to handle failures appropriately
if you can't even keep your state consistent, so I think it's
better to avoid trying, assume that synchronization primitives do
not fail and at least have consistent logging if something goes
wrong.
Vectors cannot be used as array indexes, however, single-component
swizzles (such as vec.x) can be used.
This suggests that single-component swizzles should actually be
scalars and not vectors of dimx = 1.
It is worth noting that the use of single-component swizzles on scalars
should still be allowed.

Because copy_propagation_transform_object_load() replaces a deref
instead of an instruction, it is currently prone to two problems:
1- It can replace a deref with the same deref, returning true every
time and getting the compilation stuck in an endless loop of
copy-propagation iterations.
2- When performed multiple times in the same deref, the second time it
can replace the deref with a deref from a temp that is only valid in
another point of the program execution, resulting in an incorrect value.
This patch preempts this by avoiding replacing derefs when the new deref
doesn't point to a uniform variable. Because, uniform variables cannot
be written to.
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.
A pointer to the containing descriptor heap can be derived from this
information.
PE build of vkd3d uses Windows critical sections for synchronisation,
and these slow down on the very high lock/unlock rate during multithreaded
descriptor copying in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. This patch speeds up the
demo by about 8%. By comparison, using SRW locks in the allocators and
locking them for read only where applicable is about 4% faster.
If the offset of a gather resource load can be represented as an
aoffimmi (vectori of ints from -8 to 7), use one.
This is of particular importance for 4.0 profiles, where this is the only
valid way of representing offsets for this operation.
If a hlsl_ir_load loads a variable whose components are stored from different
instructions, copy propagation doesn't replace it.
But if all these instructions are constants (which currently is the case
for value constructors), the load could be replaced with a constant value.
Which is expected in some other instructions, e.g. texel_offsets when
using aoffimmi modifiers.
For instance, this shader:
```
sampler s;
Texture2D t;
float4 main() : sv_target
{
return t.Gather(s, float2(0.6, 0.6), int2(0, 0));
}
```
results in the following IR before applying the patch:
```
float | 6.00000024e-01
float | 6.00000024e-01
uint | 0
| = (<constructor-2>[@4].x @2)
uint | 1
| = (<constructor-2>[@6].x @3)
float2 | <constructor-2>
int | 0
int | 0
uint | 0
| = (<constructor-5>[@11].x @9)
uint | 1
| = (<constructor-5>[@13].x @10)
int2 | <constructor-5>
float4 | gather_red(resource = t, sampler = s, coords = @8, offset = @15)
| return
| = (<output-sv_target0> @16)
```
and this IR afterwards:
```
float2 | {6.00000024e-01 6.00000024e-01 }
int2 | {0 0 }
float4 | gather_red(resource = t, sampler = s, coords = @2, offset = @3)
| return
| = (<output-sv_target0> @4)
```
