glsl: Streamline the built-in type handling code.
Over the last few years, the compiler has grown to support 7 different language versions and 6 extensions that add new built-in types. With more and more features being added, some of our core code has devolved into an unmaintainable spaghetti of sorts. A few problems with the old code: 1. Built-in types are declared...where exactly? The types in builtin_types.h were organized in arrays by the language version or extension they were introduced in. It's factored out to avoid duplicates---every type only exists in one array. But that means that sampler1D is declared in 110, sampler2D is in core types, sampler3D is a unique global not in a list...and so on. 2. Spaghetti call-chains with weird parameters: generate_300ES_types calls generate_130_types which calls generate_120_types and generate_EXT_texture_array_types, which calls generate_110_types, which calls generate_100ES_types...and more Except that ES doesn't want 1D types, so we have a skip_1d parameter. add_deprecated also falls into this category. 3. Missing type accessors. Common types have convenience pointers (like glsl_type::vec4_type), but others may not be accessible at all without a symbol table (for example, sampler types). 4. Global variable declarations in a header file? #include "builtin_types.h" in two C++ files would break the build. The new code addresses these problems. All built-in types are declared together in a single table, independent of when they were introduced. The macro that declares a new built-in type also creates a convenience pointer, so every type is available and it won't get out of sync. The code to populate a symbol table with the appropriate types for a particular language version and set of extensions is now a single table-driven function. The table lists the type name and GL/ES versions when it was introduced (similar to how the lexer handles reserved words). A single loop adds types based on the language version. Explicit extension checks then add additional types. If they were already added based on the language version, glsl_symbol_table simply ignores the request to add them a second time, meaning we don't need to worry about duplicates and can simply list types where they belong. v2: Mark uvecs and shadow samplers as ES3 only, and 1DArrayShadow as unsupported in ES entirely. Add a touch more doxygen. Signed-off-by: Kenneth Graunke <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Eric Anholt <[email protected]>
