Implement VOTE using Nvidia's intrinsics. Documentation about these can
be found here

Instead of using portable ARB instructions I opted to use Nvidia
intrinsics because these are the closest we have to how Tegra X1
hardware renders.
To stub VOTE on non-Nvidia drivers (including nouveau) this commit
simulates a GPU with a warp size of one, returning what is meaningful
for the instruction being emulated:
* anyThreadNV(value) -> value
* allThreadsNV(value) -> value
* allThreadsEqualNV(value) -> true
ballotARB, also known as "uint64_t(activeThreadsNV())", emits
VOTE.ANY Rd, PT, PT;
on nouveau's compiler. This doesn't match exactly to Nvidia's code
VOTE.ALL Rd, PT, PT;
Which is emulated with activeThreadsNV() by this commit. In theory this
shouldn't really matter since .ANY, .ALL and .EQ affect the predicates
(set to PT on those cases) and not the registers.
This is the default behavior of the copy constructor, so it doesn't need
to be specified.
While we're at it we can make the other non-default constructor
explicit.
Prevents a truncation warning from occurring with MSVC. Also the
internal data structures already treat it as a size_t, so this is just a
discrepancy in the interface.
These are std::shared_ptr instances underneath the hood, which means
copying them isn't as cheap as a regular pointer. Particularly so on
weakly-ordered systems.
This avoids atomic reference count increments and decrements where they
aren't necessary for the core set of operations.
While changing this code, simplify tracking code to allow returning
the base address node, this way callers don't have to manually rebuild
it on each invocation.
This commit implements gl_ViewportIndex and gl_Layer in vertex and
geometry shaders. In the case it's used in a vertex shader, it requires
ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array. This extension is available on AMD and
Nvidia devices (mesa and proprietary drivers), but not available on
Intel on any platform. At the moment of writing this description I don't
know if this is a hardware limitation or a driver limitation.
In the case that ARB_shader_viewport_layer_array is not available,
writes to these registers on a vertex shader are ignored, with the
appropriate logging.
Hardware testing revealed that SSY and PBK push to a different stack,
allowing code like this:
SSY label1;
PBK label2;
SYNC;
label1: PBK;
label2: EXIT;
Analysis passes do not have a good reason to depend on shader_ir.h to
work on top of nodes. This splits node-related declarations to their own
file and leaves the IR in shader_ir.h
Instead of having a vector of unique_ptr stored in a vector and
returning star pointers to this, use shared_ptr. While changing
initialization code, move it to a separate file when possible.
This is a first step to allow code analysis and node generation beyond
the ShaderIR class.
This allows for forming comment nodes without making unnecessary copies
of the std::string instance.
e.g. previously:
Comment(fmt::format("Base address is c[0x{:x}][0x{:x}]",
cbuf->GetIndex(), cbuf_offset));
Would result in a copy of the string being created, as CommentNode()
takes a std::string by value (a const ref passed to a value parameter
results in a copy).
Now, only one instance of the string is ever moved around. (fmt::format
returns a std::string, and since it's returned from a function by value,
this is a prvalue (which can be treated like an rvalue), so it's moved
into Comment's string parameter), we then move it into the CommentNode
constructor, which then moves the string into its member variable).
Amends cases where we were using things that were indirectly being
satisfied through other headers. This way, if those headers change and
eliminate dependencies on other headers in the future, we don't have
cascading compilation errors.
Many of these constructors don't even need to be templated. The only
ones that need to be templated are the ones that actually make use of
the parameter pack.
Even then, since std::vector accepts an initializer list, we can supply
the parameter pack directly to it instead of creating our own copy of
the list, then copying it again into the std::vector.
Given the class contains quite a lot of non-trivial types, place the
constructor and destructor within the cpp file to avoid inlining
construction and destruction code everywhere the class is used.
