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??). -- Sylvain _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
