We are passing map writemasks that may have more components than the
constant's data type, so a (j < width) check is added to avoid reading
components from the constant that are not intended to be used.
Remaining values in the register are initialized to zero.
This should have no effect, since in SM1 the allocation size is the
same as the bind count because there are no texture registers.
It is just done for consistency.
We have to distinguish between the "bind count" and the "allocation size"
of variables.
The "allocation size" affects the starting register id for the resource to
be allocated next, while the "bind count" is determined by the last field
actually used. The former may be larger than the latter.
What we are currently calling hlsl_reg.bind_count is actually the
"allocation size", so a rename is in order.
The real "bind count", which will be introduced in following patches,
is important because it is what should be shown in the RDEF table and
some resource allocation rules depend on it.
For instance, for this shader:
texture2D texs[3];
texture2D tex;
float4 main() : sv_target
{
return texs[0].Load(int3(0, 0, 0)) + tex.Load(int3(0, 0, 0));
}
the variable "texs" has a "bind count" of 1, but an "allocation size" of
3:
// Resource Bindings:
//
// Name Type Format Dim HLSL Bind Count
// ------------------------------ ---------- ------- ----------- -------------- ------
// texs texture float4 2d t0 1
// tex texture float4 2d t3 1
