TGSI
====

TGSI, Tungsten Graphics Shader Infrastructure, is an intermediate language
for describing shaders. Since Gallium is inherently shaderful, shaders are
an important part of the API. TGSI is the only intermediate representation
used by all drivers.

Basics
------

All TGSI instructions, known as *opcodes*, operate on arbitrary-precision
floating-point four-component vectors. An opcode may have up to one
destination register, known as *dst*, and between zero and three source
registers, called *src0* through *src2*, or simply *src* if there is only
one.

Some instructions, like :opcode:`I2F`, permit re-interpretation of vector
components as integers. Other instructions permit using registers as
two-component vectors with double precision; see :ref:`Double Opcodes`.

When an instruction has a scalar result, the result is usually copied into
each of the components of *dst*. When this happens, the result is said to be
*replicated* to *dst*. :opcode:`RCP` is one such instruction.

Other tokens
---------------


Declaration
^^^^^^^^^^^


Declares a register that is will be referenced as an operand in Instruction
tokens.

File field contains register file that is being declared and is one
of TGSI_FILE.

UsageMask field specifies which of the register components can be accessed
and is one of TGSI_WRITEMASK.

Interpolate field is only valid for fragment shader INPUT register files.
It specifes the way input is being interpolated by the rasteriser and is one
of TGSI_INTERPOLATE.

If Dimension flag is set to 1, a Declaration Dimension token follows.

If Semantic flag is set to 1, a Declaration Semantic token follows.

CylindricalWrap bitfield is only valid for fragment shader INPUT register
files. It specifies which register components should be subject to cylindrical
wrapping when interpolating by the rasteriser. If TGSI_CYLINDRICAL_WRAP_X
is set to 1, the X component should be interpolated according to cylindrical
wrapping rules.


Declaration Semantic
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


  Follows Declaration token if Semantic bit is set.

  Since its purpose is to link a shader with other stages of the pipeline,
  it is valid to follow only those Declaration tokens that declare a register
  either in INPUT or OUTPUT file.

  SemanticName field contains the semantic name of the register being declared.
  There is no default value.

  SemanticIndex is an optional subscript that can be used to distinguish
  different register declarations with the same semantic name. The default value
  is 0.

  The meanings of the individual semantic names are explained in the following
  sections.

TGSI_SEMANTIC_POSITION
""""""""""""""""""""""

For vertex shaders, TGSI_SEMANTIC_POSITION indicates the vertex shader
output register which contains the homogeneous vertex position in the clip
space coordinate system.  After clipping, the X, Y and Z components of the
vertex will be divided by the W value to get normalized device coordinates.

For fragment shaders, TGSI_SEMANTIC_POSITION is used to indicate that
fragment shader input contains the fragment's window position.  The X
component starts at zero and always increases from left to right.
The Y component starts at zero and always increases but Y=0 may either
indicate the top of the window or the bottom depending on the fragment
coordinate origin convention (see TGSI_PROPERTY_FS_COORD_ORIGIN).
The Z coordinate ranges from 0 to 1 to represent depth from the front
to the back of the Z buffer.  The W component contains the reciprocol
of the interpolated vertex position W component.



TGSI_SEMANTIC_COLOR
"""""""""""""""""""

For vertex shader outputs or fragment shader inputs/outputs, this
label indicates that the resister contains an R,G,B,A color.

Several shader inputs/outputs may contain colors so the semantic index
is used to distinguish them.  For example, color[0] may be the diffuse
color while color[1] may be the specular color.

This label is needed so that the flat/smooth shading can be applied
to the right interpolants during rasterization.



TGSI_SEMANTIC_BCOLOR
""""""""""""""""""""

Back-facing colors are only used for back-facing polygons, and are only valid
in vertex shader outputs. After rasterization, all polygons are front-facing
and COLOR and BCOLOR end up occupying the same slots in the fragment shader,
so all BCOLORs effectively become regular COLORs in the fragment shader.


TGSI_SEMANTIC_FOG
"""""""""""""""""

The fog coordinate historically has been used to replace the depth coordinate
for generation of fog in dedicated fog blocks. Gallium, however, does not use
dedicated fog acceleration, placing it entirely in the fragment shader
instead.

The fog coordinate should be written in ``(f, 0, 0, 1)`` format. Only the first
component matters when writing from the vertex shader; the driver will ensure
that the coordinate is in this format when used as a fragment shader input.

TGSI_SEMANTIC_PSIZE
"""""""""""""""""""

PSIZE, or point size, is used to specify point sizes per-vertex. It should
be in ``(s, 0, 0, 1)`` format, where ``s`` is the (possibly clamped) point size.
Only the first component matters when writing from the vertex shader.

When using this semantic, be sure to set the appropriate state in the
:ref:`rasterizer` first.

TGSI_SEMANTIC_GENERIC
"""""""""""""""""""""

Generic semantics are nearly always used for texture coordinate attributes,
in ``(s, t, r, q)`` format. ``t`` and ``r`` may be unused for certain kinds
of lookups, and ``q`` is the level-of-detail bias for biased sampling.

These attributes are called "generic" because they may be used for anything
else, including parameters, texture generation information, or anything that
can be stored inside a four-component vector.

TGSI_SEMANTIC_NORMAL
""""""""""""""""""""

Vertex normal; could be used to implement per-pixel lighting for legacy APIs
that allow mixing fixed-function and programmable stages.

TGSI_SEMANTIC_FACE
""""""""""""""""""

FACE is the facing bit, to store the facing information for the fragment
shader. ``(f, 0, 0, 1)`` is the format. The first component will be positive
when the fragment is front-facing, and negative when the component is
back-facing.

TGSI_SEMANTIC_EDGEFLAG
""""""""""""""""""""""

For vertex shaders, this sematic label indicates that an input or
output is a boolean edge flag.  The register layout is [F, x, x, x]
where F is 0.0 or 1.0 and x = don't care.  Normally, the vertex shader
simply copies the edge flag input to the edgeflag output.

Edge flags are used to control which lines or points are actually
drawn when the polygon mode converts triangles/quads/polygons into
points or lines.



Properties
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


  Properties are general directives that apply to the whole TGSI program.

FS_COORD_ORIGIN
"""""""""""""""

Specifies the fragment shader TGSI_SEMANTIC_POSITION coordinate origin.
The default value is UPPER_LEFT.

If UPPER_LEFT, the position will be (0,0) at the upper left corner and
increase downward and rightward.
If LOWER_LEFT, the position will be (0,0) at the lower left corner and
increase upward and rightward.

OpenGL defaults to LOWER_LEFT, and is configurable with the
GL_ARB_fragment_coord_conventions extension.

DirectX 9/10 use UPPER_LEFT.

FS_COORD_PIXEL_CENTER
"""""""""""""""""""""

Specifies the fragment shader TGSI_SEMANTIC_POSITION pixel center convention.
The default value is HALF_INTEGER.

If HALF_INTEGER, the fractionary part of the position will be 0.5
If INTEGER, the fractionary part of the position will be 0.0

Note that this does not affect the set of fragments generated by
rasterization, which is instead controlled by gl_rasterization_rules in the
rasterizer.

OpenGL defaults to HALF_INTEGER, and is configurable with the
GL_ARB_fragment_coord_conventions extension.

DirectX 9 uses INTEGER.
DirectX 10 uses HALF_INTEGER.



Texture Sampling and Texture Formats
------------------------------------

This table shows how texture image components are returned as (x,y,z,w) tuples
by TGSI texture instructions, such as :opcode:`TEX`, :opcode:`TXD`, and
:opcode:`TXP`. For reference, OpenGL and Direct3D conventions are shown as
well.
