Description Ian Romanick 2014-12-24 02:28:10 UTC
I have observed a shader that generates code like this:

mov(16)         g17<1>F         0.321569F                       { align1 1H };
cmp.ge.f0(16)   g15<1>D         -g10<8,8,1>F    0F              { align1 1H };
and.nz.f0(16)   null            g15<8,8,1>D     1D              { align1 1H compacted };
mov(16)         g19<1>F         0.498039F                       { align1 1H };
mov(16)         g21<1>F         0.223529F                       { align1 1H };
mov(16)         g23<1>F         1F                              { align1 1H };
(-f0) sel(16)   g120<1>F        g17<8,8,1>F     0.12549F        { align1 1H };
(-f0) sel(16)   g122<1>F        g19<8,8,1>F     0.27451F        { align1 1H };
(-f0) sel(16)   g124<1>F        g21<8,8,1>F     0.192157F       { align1 1H };
(-f0) sel(16)   g126<1>F        g23<8,8,1>F     0F              { align1 1H };

If one set of literal constants were moved to push constants, we could save 4 instructions.  The entire shader in question was only 15 instructions, so that would be worthwhile for that case.  In other cases it may be more problematic.

Ian, is this still an issue, and if yes, could you attach an example shader?
