v1.1.0

[SirLynix]

NZSL 1.1

This release comes with a language update, you can check the language changelog here

⚠️ This release breaks the compiler API as the compiler have been reworked.

• nzsl::ShaderWriter::States has been renamed to nzsl::BackendParameters and has been changed
• nzsl::Ast::Sanitize no longer exists and has been replaced by the nzsl::Ast::TransformerExecutor class
• nzsl::Ast::Module is no longer cloned, it is instead transformed, if you need to keep it unchanged it's now up to you to clone it beforehand.

What's Changed

• Added scalar layout by @exdal in Adds scalar layout #62
• Split compiler into multiple passes in Split compiler into multiple passes #64
• Ast/Transformations: Rework context in Ast/Transformations: Rework context #66
• Added untyped literals in Add untyped literals #65
• Added type constants in Add type constants #69
• Added support for implicit arrays and implicit matrices in Add support for implicit arrays and implicit matrices #70
• Compiler: Unified all resolved identifier nodes in Compiler: Unify all resolved identifier nodes #72
• [Tools] Implement --skip-unchanged in [Tools] Implement --skip-unchanged #75
• Fixed generation of SPIR-V 1.4 (global interface were missing) in Fix generation of SPIR-V 1.4 (global interface were missing) #77
• Package has been renamed to include nzsl_ prefix and remove mode (debug/releasedbg) for releases (Github releases have releasedbg binaries).
• Implemented vectors bitwise ops (Add support for bit operators on vectors of integers (#34) #56).
• Implemented implicit types (Add support for implicit arrays and implicit matrices #70).
• Implemented type constants (Add type constants #69).
• Implemented all, any, not, isinf, isnan, steps and smoothsteps intrinsics.
• Improved compilation time.
• Fixed ArraySize intrinsic (arr.Size()) on alias types.
• Fixed LangWriter outputting invalid vec3[FloatLiteral] instead of implicit vec3 for vector of literals.
• NZSL is now built without imprecise floating-point optimizations.
• Fixed type constants not being usable in const (compile-time) contexts.
• Original const expression is preserved instead of replaced with its optimized value (when spitting out NZSL back).
• Replaced multiple specific identifier value expression nodes (AliasValueExpression, ConstantExpression, FunctionExpression, etc.) with a single IdentifierValueExpression node. Also reworked IdentifierType and IdentifierCategory enums in Compiler: Unify all resolved identifier nodes #72.
• Alias removal is now performed by the AliasTransformer (instead of the ResolveTransformer), this allows compiler errors to be more precise.
• Reworked ExpressionCategory, mainly to improve textual generation (constants are no longer surrounded by parenthesis).
• PFunctionParameterNonLValue error has been replaced by CFunctionCallSemanticRequiresVariable.

New Contributors

• @exdal made their first contribution in Adds scalar layout #62
