This is the first of several planned patch series to implement the
extension ARB_compute_shader in Mesa. This series allows the Mesa
front-end to parse and compile a "do-nothing" compute shader--that is,
one which contains nothing but a compute shader input layout
declaration and an empty main() function.
Since compute shader support is not yet complete, I haven't enabled
it. To try it out, set the environment variable
INTEL_COMPUTE_SHADER=1.
With that environment variable set, the series passes all of the
ARB_compute_shader tests I recently sent to the Piglit mailing list,
except for the "minmax" test.
Patches 01-12 do preparatory refactoring in order to make adding
compute shaders (and other future shader stages) easier.
Patch 13 adds the extension enable flags for compute shaders, both in
the context and in the GLSL compiler.
Patch 14 adds the ARB_compute_shader functions and enums to Mesa's
dispatch code generation logic. The functions don't do anything yet.
Patch 15 changes the linker so that once the compute shader stage has
been added, it won't mistakenly consider it to be part of the rest of
the graphics pipeline.
Patches 16-20 add MESA_SHADER_COMPUTE to the gl_shader_stage enum, and
update the rest of the code base to accommodate its presence in the
enum.
Patches 21-23 implement some compute shader constants.
Patches 24-26 implement logic to handle compute shader work group
sizes (also known as "local sizes").
Patches 27-28 implement two other basic rules of compute shaders (they
don't have user-defined ins/outs, and they can't be mixed with other
shader types).
Finally, patches 29-30 implement the necessary back-end code for the
i965 driver to allow compute shaders to be turned on with an
environment variable.
Once these patches land, I plan to start working on the i965 back end.
