    HLSL: handle multiple clip/cull semantic IDs · 307b6507
    LoopDawg authored
    HLSL allows several variables to be declared.  There are packing rules involved:
    e.g, a float3 and a float1 can be packed into a single array[4], while for a
    float3 and another float3, the second one will skip the third array entry to
    avoid straddling
    
    This is implements that ability.  Because there can be multiple variables involved,
    and the final output array will often be a different type altogether (to fuse
    the values into a single destination), a new variable is synthesized, unlike the prior
    clip/cull support which used the declared variable.  The new variable name is
    taken from one of the declared ones, so the old tests are unchanged.
    
    Several new tests are added to test various packing scenarios.
    
    Only two semantic IDs are supported: 0, and 1, per HLSL rules.  This is
    encapsulated in
    
         static const int maxClipCullRegs = 2;
    
    and the algorithm (probably :) ) generalizes to larger values, although there
    are a few issues around how HLSL would pack (e.g, would 4 scalars be packed into
    a single HLSL float4 out reg?  Probably, and this algorithm assumes so).
