fwiw, I didn't wire up other stages since I don't really have a way to test them yet, but they should be simpler than FS/VS since there aren't shader variants to lower. I guess probably the next stage to wire up would be compute. As far as tgsi-free, I'm not sure that is possible, since (a) other state trackers, and (b) internally generated blit shaders and ARB program shaders. (I guess we could use prog_to_nir, but those shaders tend to be less complex and it didn't seem as important to bypass tgsi.) So I think for NIR consuming drivers, tgsi_to_nir will stick around, but at least it should be only needed for simpler stuff... we should at least be able to avoid having to teach ttn about features more advanced than what it has now (ie. compute (functions/images/??), mediump, etc) BR, -R _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
