Tint changes during Origin Trial
Changes for M100
Breaking changes
- The
@interpolate(flat)
attribute must now be specified on integral user-defined IO. tint:1224 - The
ignore()
intrinsic has been removed. Use phoney-assignment instead: ignore(expr);
-> _ = expr;
. break
statements in continuing
blocks are now correctly validated.
Changes for M99
Breaking changes
Obviously infinite loops (no condition, no break) are now a validation error.
Deprecated Features
The following features have been deprecated and will be removed in M102:
- The
[[block]]
attribute has been deprecated. tint:1324 - Attributes now use the
@decoration
syntax instead of the [[decoration]]
syntax. tint:1382 elseif
has been replaced with else if
. tint:1289- The
[[stride]]
attribute has been deprecated. tint:1381
New Features
- Vector and matrix element type can now be inferred from constructor argument types. tint:1334
- Added builtins
degrees()
and radians()
for converting between degrees and radians. tint:1329 let
arrays and matrices can now be dynamically indexed. tint:1352- Storage and Uniform buffer types no longer have to be structures. tint:1372
- A struct declaration does not have to be followed by a semicolon. tint:1380
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where for-loops that contain array or structure constructors in the loop initializer statements, condition expressions or continuing statements could fail to compile. tint:1364
Changes for M98
Breaking Changes
- Taking the address of a vector component is no longer allowed.
- Module-scope declarations can no longer alias a builtin name. tint:1318
- It is now an error to call a function either directly or transitively, from a loop continuing block, that uses
discard
. tint:1302
Deprecated Features
- The
isNan()
, isInf()
, isFinite()
and isNormal()
builtins has been deprecated and will be removed in M101. tint:1312
New Features
- New texture gather builtins:
textureGather()
and textureGatherCompare()
. tint:1330 - Shadowing is now fully supported. tint:819
- The
dot()
builtin now supports integer vector types. - Identifiers can now start with a single leading underscore. tint:1292
- Control flow analysis has been improved, and functions no longer need to
return
if the statement is unreachable. tint:1302 - Unreachable statements now produce a warning instead of an error, to allow WGSL code to be updated to the new analysis behavior. These warnings may become errors in the future gpuweb#2378
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where using a module-scoped
let
in a workgroup_size
may result in a compilation error. tint:1320
Changes for M97
Breaking Changes
- Deprecated
modf()
and frexp()
builtin overloads that take a pointer second parameter have been removed. - Deprecated texture builtin functions that accepted a
read
access controlled storage texture have been removed. - Storage textures must now only use the
write
access control.
Deprecated Features
- The
ignore()
builtin has been replaced with phony-assignment. gpuweb#2127
New Features
any()
and all()
now support a bool
parameter. These simply return the passed argument. tint:1253- Call statements may now include functions that return a value (
ignore()
is no longer needed). - The
interpolate(flat)
attribute can now be specified on integral user-defined IO. It will eventually become an error to define integral user-defined IO without this attribute. - Matrix construction from scalar element values is now supported.
Fixes
- Swizzling of
vec3
types in storage
and uniform
buffers has been fixed for Metal 1.x. tint:1249 - Calling a function that returns an unused value no longer produces an FXC compilation error. tint:1259
abs()
fixed for unsigned integers on SPIR-V backend
Changes for M95
New Features
- The size of an array can now be defined using a non-overridable module-scope constant
- The
num_workgroups
builtin is now supported.
Fixes
- Hex floats: now correctly errors when the magnitude is non-zero, and the exponent would cause overflow. tint:1150, tint:1166
- Identifiers beginning with an underscore are now correctly rejected. tint:1179
