[SPIRV] Use OpCopyLogical to reconstruct values#7530
Merged
Conversation
When DXC needs to change the layout of a value, it currently has to extract each individual scalar, and then reconstruct using the type with the different layout. If you have a large array or struct with many member, this generates a lot of extra code. Starting in SPIR-V 1.4, the OpCopyLogical instruction is available to do the reconstruction. This should help generate less code, which will lead to improved compile time and maybe smaller binary sizes. Fixes microsoft#7493
