  31  * Implements "copy splitting" which is similar to structure splitting only
  32  * it works on copy operations rather than the datatypes themselves.  The
  33  * GLSL language allows you to copy one variable to another an entire
  34  * structure (which may contain arrays or other structures) at a time.
  35  * Normally, in a language such as C this would be handled by a "structure
  36  * splitting" pass that breaks up the structures.  Unfortunately for us,
  37  * structures used in inputs or outputs can't be split.  Therefore,
  38  * regardlesss of what we do, we have to be able to copy to/from
  39  * structures.
  40  *
  41  * The primary purpose of structure splitting is to allow you to better
  42  * optimize variable access and lower things to registers where you can.
  43  * The primary issue here is that, if you lower the copy to a bunch of
  44  * loads and stores, you loose a lot of information about the copy
  45  * operation that you would like to keep around.  To solve this problem, we
  46  * have a "copy splitting" pass that, instead of splitting the structures
  47  * or lowering the copy into loads and storres, splits the copy operation
  48  * into a bunch of copy operations one for each leaf of the structure tree.
  49  * If an intermediate array is encountered, it is referenced with a
  50  * wildcard reference to indicate that the entire array is to be copied.
  51  *
  52  * As things become direct, array copies may be able to be losslessly
  53  * lowered to having fewer and fewer wildcards.  However, until that
  54  * happens we want to keep the information about the arrays intact.
  55  *
  56  * Prior to the copy splitting pass, there are no wildcard references but
  57  * there may be incomplete references where the tail of the deref chain is
  58  * an array or a structure and not a specific element.  After the copy
  59  * splitting pass has completed, every variable deref will be a full-length
  60  * dereference pointing to a single leaf in the structure type tree with
  61  * possibly a few wildcard array dereferences.
