Huho!
Cons:
- it's c++
- only GFX8 and GFX9 (I have GFX6 :( )
- some nasty python scripts (there are tons in mesa)
Pros:
- it's several orders of magnitude less brain f*cked than llvm.
- it is actual working code which does disjoint mesa from llvm.
conclusion:
- for GFX8 and GFX9, it's less worse than llvm.
- I was asking for a clean GCN ABI definition document from shaders
perspective, maybe this code will help to write one (or it is an AMD
confidential document??).
