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.
