According to the documentation, if_comp is available from 2_x pixel
and vertex shaders and, unlike "if bool" it doesn't expect a constant
boolean register (from the input signature), so:
if_neq cond -cond
seems like a convenient way to write these, for profiles above 2.0.
We want the base type to stop being a property of all types, and to stop using
the same enumeration for objects and numeric types. The backend should do the
work of translation; we want a more sensible and convenient representation for
the compiler itself.
As the diffstat shows, HLSL_CLASS_OBJECT does not really have much in common.
Resource types (TEXTURE, SAMPLER, UAV) sometimes behave similarly to each other,
but do not generally behave similarly to effect-specific types (string, shader,
state, view). Most consumers of HLSL_CLASS_OBJECT subsequently check the base
type anyway.
Hence we want to replace HLSL_TYPE_* with individual classes for object types.
As a first step, change the last few places that only check HLSL_CLASS_OBJECT.
