The introduction of the
MatrixSingleSubscriptExprAST type meant we needed acustom emitter in
EmitMatrixSingleSubscriptExprwhich meant we needed a newMatrixRowLvalue type becauseExtVectorElthad a requirment for constantindicies. We can still use
MakeExtVectorEltbut only if the row index isconstant. For now if we don't have them then
EmitExtVectorElementExprfails.Like so:
That means today the following cases work
That also means this doesn't work
This failing case while visually similar to swizzling on an array of vectors is
very different. for an array-of-vectors, the “hard part” (the dynamic index) is
already solved before the swizzle ever sees it. For matrices, you’re trying to
push that dynamic index into the swizzle layer, where it fundamentally doesn’t
fit. Example
The AST just treates the array subscript as a base:
Crucially: the dynamic index i is already baked into the pointer. The LValue
itself doesn’t need to remember i separately. MakeExtVectorElt only needs:
That’s why arrays-of-vectors don’t have your problem: the dynamic part (i) is
entirely handled by the array-subscript lvalue; the swizzle only deals with
constant component selection inside a single, already-chosen vector.
With matrices, what you want conceptually is very similar:
But the the difference is Clang’s matrix extension doesn’t model a matrix as
“array of row-vectors” or “array of col-vectors” at the IR level. Its
represented as one singular vector. For example the ir would look like
Plan(s)
MatrixType.[NumRows x <NumCols x T>]then EmitMatrixSingleSubscriptExpr could mirror EmitArraySubscriptExpr:EmitExtVectorElementExprwill just work.
