It turns out that most people new to this IR are surprised when an
assignment to (say) 3 components on the LHS takes 4 components on the
RHS. It also makes for quite strange IR output:
(assign (constant bool (1)) (x) (var_ref color) (swiz x (var_ref v) ))
(assign (constant bool (1)) (y) (var_ref color) (swiz yy (var_ref v) ))
(assign (constant bool (1)) (z) (var_ref color) (swiz zzz (var_ref v) ))
But even worse, even we get it wrong, as shown by this line of our
current step(float, vec4):
(assign (constant bool (1)) (w)
(var_ref t)
(expression float b2f (expression bool >=
(swiz w (var_ref x))(var_ref edge))))
where we try to assign a float to the writemasked-out x channel and
don't supply anything for the actual w channel we're writing. Drivers
right now just get lucky since ir_to_mesa spams the float value across
all the source channels of a vec4.
Instead, the RHS will now have a number of components equal to the
number of components actually being written. Hopefully this confuses
everyone less, and it also makes codegen for a scalar target simpler.
