We've assumed that we could lower per-component vector access from
vec[i] = scalar
to
vec = ir_triop_vector_insert(vec, scalar, i)
but with SSBOs (and compute shader SLM and tesselation outputs) this is
no longer valid. If a vector is "externally visible", multiple threads
can write independent components simultaneously. With lowering to
ir_triop_vector_insert, each thread read the entire vector, changes one
component, then writes out the entire vector. This is racy.
Instead of generating a ir_binop_vector_extract when we see v[i], we
generate ir_dereference_array. We then add a lowering pass to lower the
ir_dereference_array to ir_binop_vector_extract for rvalues and for to
vector_insert for lvalues in a separate lowering pass.
The resulting IR is the same as before, but we now have a window between
ast->ir conversion and the lowering pass where v[i] appears in the IR as
an array deref. This lets us run lowering passes that lower the vector
access to I/O (eg for SSBO load/store) before we lower the per-component
access to full vector writes.
