Dependencies

This extension is written against the SPIR-V Specification, version 1.6 Revision 3.

This extension requires SPIR-V 1.0.

Overview

This extension adds instructions to create composite objects whose constituents all have the same value without requiring the value to be provided for each constituent.

Extension Name

To use this extension within a SPIR-V module, the following OpExtension must be present in the module:

OpExtension "SPV_EXT_replicated_composites"

Modifications to the SPIR-V Specification, Version 1.6

Capabilities

Modify Section 3.31, "Capability", adding these rows to the Capability table:

Capability Depends On

6024

ReplicatedCompositesEXT
Uses OpConstantCompositeReplicateEXT, OpSpecConstantCompositeReplicateEXT, or OpCompositeConstructReplicateEXT

Instructions

Modify Section 3.42.7, "Constant-Creation Instructions", adding two new instructions:

OpConstantCompositeReplicateEXT

Declare a new composite constant whose constituents all have the same value.

Result Type must be a homegeneous composite type.

Value is the value to use for all constituents. Value must have the same type as the constituents of the result. Value must be the <id> of a non-specialization constant-instruction declarations or an OpUndef.

Capability:
ReplicatedCompositesEXT

<id> Result Type

Result <id>

<id> Value

OpSpecConstantCompositeReplicateEXT

Declare a new composite specialization constant whose constituents all have the same value.

Result Type must be a homogeneous composite type.
Value is the value to use for all constituents. Value must have the same type as the constituents of the result. Value must be the <id> of a specialization constant, constant declaration, or an OpUndef.

This instruction will be specialized to an OpConstantCompositeReplicateEXT instruction.

See Section 1.9, Specialization.

Capability:
ReplicatedCompositesEXT

<id> Result Type

Result <id>

<id> Value

Modify Section 3.42.12, "Composite Instructions", adding one new instruction:

OpCompositeConstructReplicateEXT

Construct a new composite object whose constituents all have the same value.

Result Type must be a homogeneous composite type.

Value is the value to use for all constituents. Value must have the same type as the constituents of the result.

Capability:
ReplicatedCompositesEXT
