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.
