Descripción
Expected Behaviour
I want to port some code using fixed::FixedI128 to the gpu, so I tried using rust-gpu to avoid needing to re-implement the wheel.
Well, this failed epically.
Figuring out how to use rust-gpu from the docs and examples is impossible, so I looked at rust-gpu-chimera, and I was able to figure out how to use it.
Of course, even though fixed is no-std and does not allocate, it does not compile, so I started to try to clone it locally and monkeypatch any issues until it would build.
But after the errors just never ended, I thought it more prudent to LITERALLY manually dig through the thousands of lines of macro-generated code for fixed and inline all the code I was using.
Of course, this failed because rust-gpu does not ACTUALLY support 128 bit integers.
Of course, the errors don't explicitly say this, instead they say "unsupported type for constant i128" or something else, and never explicitly admit to not supporting 128 bit integers.
Ok, that's really disappointing, but sure I'll rewrite all these functions to work on 64 bit limbs explicitly instead.
Well, actually, rust-gpu does not support 64 bit integers either, so that was a waste of time.
Now the error does sort of explicitly say this: "error: u64 type used without OpCapability Int64".
This is pretty surprising because on 32 bit CPU targets we can use 128 bit ints with reckless abandon and the compiler will just figure it out, but some part of this when translating from rust to llvm ir to spriv is not putting the square peg into the square hole.
Example & Steps To Reproduce
This kernel stub should have the same error, even with none of the implementation actually present:
#[cfg(target_arch = "spirv")]
#[spirv(compute(threads(1024)))]
pub fn bqa_kernel(
#[spirv(global_invocation_id)] gid: UVec3,
#[spirv(storage_buffer, descriptor_set = 0, binding = 0)] data: &mut [((u64, i64), i64, i64)],
#[spirv(push_constant)] param: &BqaParams,
) {
let thread_id = ThreadId::new(gid.x);
bqa_helper(thread_id, data, (param.r0, param.r1), param.b_min, param.b_max);
}
we don't even need to look into bqa_helper or any other implementation details, the error will be something like

Línea de trabajo
Comienza con el punto de entrada kernel/src/lib.rs y reproduce los diagnósticos informados para los tipos de búfer de almacenamiento u64 e i64. Traza cómo se traducen los tipos enteros a capacidades de SPIR-V y considera resuelto el problema cuando los anchos de enteros compatibles se compilen correctamente o sus limitaciones se notifiquen explícitamente.
