Erm... ok...

MOV R0.zw, c[A0.x + 9];
MOV R1.x, c[0].w;
ADD R0.x, c[A0.x + 9].y, R1;
FLR R0.y, R0.x;

vs

     0: MAD TEMP[0].xy, IN[1], CONST[7].yyyy, CONST[7].xxxx
     3: MOV TEMP[0].zw, CONST[ADDR[0].x+9]
     7: FLR TEMP[0].y, CONST[0].wwww

Could be that I'm matching the wrong shaders. But this seems highly
suspect.
Need to see if there's a good way of dumping mesa ir... I wonder if it
doesn't
notice the write-mask on the MOV R0.zw and thinks that R0 contains the
value it
wants.


Nice detective work on this bug, Ilia.

Could be that I'm matching the wrong shaders.


I think it could be quite useful if there was a
"GL_MESAX_get_internal_representation" Mesa specific extension to extract
a
text representation of the current bound GLSL, TGSI, hardware speicfic,
etc,
exclusively for debugging purposes.

It doesn't even need to be advertised on non-debug builds of Mesa.  But
merely being able to see next to each other all the IRs at a given call
in a
trace, will probably save some time / grief for us developers on similar
situations.


I did something akin to this for NVIDIA prioprietary drivers on

https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace/commit/49192a4e48d080e44a0d66f059e6897f07cf67f8
but I don't think GetProgramBinary is apropriate for Mesa (only one
format.)


Instead, for Mesa we could have something like

     GLint n;
     // this will trigget IRs being collected into an array internally
     glGetIntegerv(GL_NUM_ACTIVE_IRS, &n);

     for (i=0; i < n; ++i) {
         GLint nameLength;
         char *name;
         GLint sourceLength;
         char *source;
         glGetActiveInternalRepr(&nameLength, NULL, &sourceLength, NULL);
         name = malloc(nameLength)
         source = malloc(sourceLength)
         glGetActiveInternalRepr(NULL, name, NULL, source);
     }

And this would need to be plumbed through all the way inside the drivers,
each layer would  advertise additional IRs.

And the information here would only be obtainable/valid immediately after
a
draw call.


A completely different tack, is that apitrace's glretrace would advertise
an
unique environment variable (e.g,MESA_IR_DUMP_ALL=fd), and all
drivers/layers would write shaders repres, and when they are
bound/unbound/destroyed on  a preestablished format:

CREATE "GLSL/123"
...
EOF

CREATE TGSI/456
EOF

BIND GLSL/123
BIND TGSI/456
BIND HW/789

UNBIND GLSL/123
UNBIND TGSI/456
UNBIND HW/789

DESTROY GLSL/123
DESTROY TGSI/456
DESTROY HW/789


I don't feel strongly either way, but I suspect that having a proper
extension, even if a little more work at start, will be more robust on
the
long term.  And less runtime overhead.  GL extensions also give a
mechanism
to revise/deprecate this functionality in the future.


This would still require fairly extensive changes as you'd have to
track all the bindings together.


Really? I don't think so.  Which alternative are you referring to?

The MESA_IR_DUMP_ALL=fd thing. You can't just have a single ID for the
TGSI/HW as it might change based on other states. By the time you get
it sufficiently robust, you might as well do the GL extension.


Yet another option would be to provide a callback

   typedef void (*GLircallbackMESA)(const char *name, const char *body);

   void glGetActiveInternalReprMesa(GLircallbackMESA callback);

and basically each layer would dump the IRs, and invoke the downstream
layers with the same callback.

What "name" would the driver supply here? And how would you link
things up together?

Giving llvmpipe example, which I'm more familiar,

 - src/mesa/state_tracKer would invoke with "state_tracker/tgsi/{vs,fs}"
and "glsl-ir/{vs,fs}"
- and invoke pipe_context::get_active_ir (callback) if the pipe driver implements it
 - src/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe would invoke with
- "llvmpipe/tgsi/{vs,fs}" (which might differ from the state tracker due to draw module
   - "llvmpipe/llvm/{vs,fs,setup}_{full,partial}"
   - and maybe even "llvmpipe/x86/{vs,fs}

The idea is that this glGetActiveInternalReprMesa() call dumps what's active _now_, which is only makes sense immediately after draw calls. So the only thing the drivers need to do is dump what they see bound.

That is, there's no need to "link things up together".
