  29  *
  30  * Geometry Shaders can call EmitVertex()/EmitStreamVertex() to output an
  31  * arbitrary number of vertices.  However, the shader must declare the maximum
  32  * number of vertices that it will ever output - further attempts to emit
  33  * vertices result in undefined behavior according to the GLSL specification.
  34  *
  35  * Drivers might use this maximum number of vertices to allocate enough space
  36  * to hold the geometry shader's output.  Some drivers (such as i965) need to
  37  * implement "safety checks" which ensure that the shader hasn't emitted too
  38  * many vertices, to avoid overflowing that space and trashing other memory.
  39  *
  40  * The count of emitted vertices can also be useful in buffer offset
  41  * calculations, so drivers know where to write the GS output.
  42  *
  43  * However, for simple geometry shaders that emit a statically determinable
  44  * number of vertices, this extra bookkeeping is unnecessary and inefficient.
  45  * By tracking the vertex count in NIR, we allow constant folding/propagation
  46  * and dead control flow optimizations to eliminate most of it where possible.
  47  *
  48  * This pass introduces a new global variable which stores the current vertex
  49  * count (initialized to 0), and converts emit_vertex/end_primitive intrinsics
  50  * to their *_with_counter variants.  emit_vertex is also wrapped in a safety
  51  * check to avoid buffer overflows.  Finally, it adds a set_vertex_count
  52  * intrinsic at the end of the program, informing the driver of the final
  53  * vertex count.
