====

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.

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


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
""""""""""""""""""""""

Position, sometimes known as HPOS or WPOS for historical reasons, is the
location of the vertex in space, in ``(x, y, z, w)`` format. ``x``, ``y``, and ``z``
are the Cartesian coordinates, and ``w`` is the homogenous coordinate and used
for the perspective divide, if enabled.

As a vertex shader output, position should be scaled to the viewport. When
used in fragment shaders, position will be in window coordinates. The convention
used depends on the FS_COORD_ORIGIN and FS_COORD_PIXEL_CENTER properties.

XXX additionally, is there a way to configure the perspective divide? it's
accelerated on most chipsets AFAIK...

Position, if not specified, usually defaults to ``(0, 0, 0, 1)``, and can
be partially specified as ``(x, y, 0, 1)`` or ``(x, y, z, 1)``.

XXX usually? can we solidify that?

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

Colors are used to, well, color the primitives. Colors are always in
``(r, g, b, a)`` format.

If alpha is not specified, it defaults to 1.

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, 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 ``(p, n, x, f)`` format, where ``p`` is the point size, ``n`` is the minimum
size, ``x`` is the maximum size, and ``f`` is the fade threshold.

XXX this is arb_vp. is this what we actually do? should double-check...

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
""""""""""""""""""""""

XXX no clue


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.

tuples by TGSI texture instructions, such as TEX, TXD, and TXP.
