Thank you for the reply - it's pretty much what I thought, though it doesn't
really address my criticism. After having some other discussions on this as
well, maybe I should clarify the issues. Here's the summary for lazy people:
1. The TGSI instruction set is fine
2. TGSI is a reasonable
I apologize for the last mail, since it's tone was probably too inflammatory
(I leave final judgement on that to others).
Bottom line: I believe TGSI is good for *communicating* programs, but it's
needlessly complicated for *transforming* programs.
If you want to transform a list of

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by stream-based nature of TGSI.
It's just just an array of struct tgsi_token's. So technically you could
iterate from the back, middle, 2+middle
As anyone visiting #radeon could see, I occasionally vented my frustration at
TGSI while working on refactoring the r300 program compiler for use in
Gallium.
Now to give you a bit of background: Radeon hardware is quite quirky, to the
point that several hardware-specific optimizations in the
