Workstreams

Language (#21)

• Basic type declarations (e.g. uint, int, half, ...)
• Vector type declarations (e.g. vector<T,N>, float3, int4, ...)
• Vector cast-construction syntax (e.g. float3(x,x,x))
• Internal function linkage rules
• cbuffer declarations
• [HLSL] bitcasts emitted instead of vector conversions in binary operators llvm-project#106253

Resource Binding (#23)

• Explicit resource binding for SRV, CBV and samplers #36

DXIL Legalization and Lowering (#27)

• Inlining
  • [DXIL] Always inline HLSL functions by default llvm-project#89282

  • [0009] A proposal for DXIL Function Scalarization #62
  • [0010] Dxil data scalarization proposal #72
  • [DirectX] Enable the Scalarizer pass in the DirectX backend llvm-project#105178
  • Add support for DirectX intrinsics to the scalarizer pass llvm-project#107433
