The rewrite of out/inout parameters to use reference types in the AST
caused several crashes in functions that expected non-reference types:

1. GetHLSLResourceTemplateParamType, GetHLSLInputPatchCount, and
   GetHLSLOutputPatchCount in HlslTypes.cpp were changed from using
   getCanonicalType() to getNonReferenceType(). This broke the
   cast<RecordType>() calls because:
   - getCanonicalType() strips both reference wrappers and type sugar
   - getNonReferenceType() only strips references, leaving sugared
     types (e.g., ElaboratedType) that can't be cast to RecordType

   Fix: use getNonReferenceType().getCanonicalType() to handle both
   reference unwrapping and type sugar stripping.

2. DiagnoseElementTypes in SemaHLSL.cpp received a reference type
   (e.g., 'Payload &') for inout parameters of entry functions.
   The AR_TOBJ_COMPOUND branch called getAs<RecordType>() which
   returned null for reference types, causing a null dereference.

   Fix: strip reference types at the start of DiagnoseElementTypes.

With the rewrite of out/inout parameters, array-to-pointer decay is now
explicitly represented in the HLSL AST as CK_ArrayToPointerDecay
ImplicitCastExpr nodes. The SPIRV emitter's processCastExpr had no
handling for this case in general (only for string literals), causing
it to emit an error and return null, crashing the compilation.

In SPIRV, arrays are accessed via OpAccessChain, so the underlying
array pointer is the same as the decayed pointer from the emitter's
perspective. Fix by returning doExpr(subExpr) for CK_ArrayToPointerDecay,
letting the access chain creation handle the element access.

Fix a bug where ByteAddressBuffer.Load<T[N]>(ix, status) would not emit
checkAccessFullyMapped in DXIL output. After SROA_Parameter_HLSL runs,
the HLSLOutArgExpr status writeback is optimized to a load-from-alloca
followed by icmp directly (store/load pair eliminated). When
TranslateStructBufSubscript then calls UpdateStatus, it stores the
checkAccessFullyMapped result to the alloca AFTER the existing load, so
the load reads an uninitialized value. Fix by moving the pre-existing
load to after all UpdateStatus stores, so mem2reg correctly propagates
the checkAccessFullyMapped result.

Also update SemaHLSL test expectations to match the new out/inout
parameter implementation that uses reference types (T &). Changes
include: matrix out/inout types show '& ' suffix in diagnostics, array
out/inout types show as pointer in some contexts, removed __restrict
from some expected strings, and added truncation warnings where type
narrowing occurs.

- doArraySubscriptExpr: strip CK_ArrayToPointerDecay to recover array
  type for derefOrCreatePointerToValue (avoids element-type temp var)
- doHLSLArrayTemporaryExpr: replace createCopyMemory with load+storeValue
  to handle Uniform->Function layout-rule differences
- processByteAddressBufferLoadStore: load rvalue before passing to
  processTemplatedStoreToBuffer
- doHLSLOutArgExpr: for 'out' (non-inout) opaque/resource params, pass
  the original resource lvalue directly without creating a temp variable,
  avoiding counter-variable assignment failures for AppendStructuredBuffer
- processCall writeback loop: skip writeback for 'out' resource params
  that were passed by direct alias
- isOrContainsAKindOfStructuredOrByteBuffer: guard cxxDecl->bases() with
  hasDefinition() check to avoid crash on forward-declared types such as
  TriangleStream<GS_OUT>
- getTypeAndCreateCounterForPotentialAliasVar: strip reference qualifiers
  when probing whether a type needs alias/counter creation
- createCounterVarForDecl: strip reference qualifiers for same reason
- IsPatchConstantFunctionDecl (HlslTypes): use getNonReferenceType() for
  tess-factor semantic check
- createStageInputVar (DeclResultIdMapper): strip reference qualifiers
- spirv.interpolation.vs.hlsl: change noperspective int to float (int
  with noperspective is correctly rejected by SPIR-V spec)
- fn.param.inout.local.resource.hlsl: update CHECK patterns for new
  behavior where 'out' resources are passed by direct alias
- tryToAssignCounterVar: soften counter mismatch error for non-ACS
  buffers (allow mismatch for RWStructuredBuffer function params)

The HLSL out/inout parameter rewrite stores parameters as reference types
in the AST, which changes how SPIRV codegen emits copy-in/copy-out
temporaries. Update all affected CodeGenSPIRV test expectations to match
the new SPIRV output.

- CodeGenDXIL/hlsl/functions/array-by-value.hlsl: array passed by value
- CodeGenDXIL/hlsl/functions/out-struct-copy.hlsl: out struct copy semantics
- CodeGenDXIL/hlsl/types/implicit-struct-to-scalar.hlsl: struct-to-scalar conversion

Update DXIL test expectations affected by the out-param reference type
changes (copy-in/copy-out now represented in AST).

…ersion

The ICK_HLSLVector_Truncation case in Sema::PerformImplicitConversion
was emitting warn_hlsl_implicit_vector_truncation a second time when
the same diagnostic had already been issued by the regular HLSL
conversion-checking path. This caused tests such as VerifierTest.RunCppErrors
and VerifierTest.RunCppErrorsHV2015 to fail on a duplicated diagnostic
line.

After the inout/out reference rewrite, parameter inout-ness is
sometimes carried only on the ParmVarDecl's ParameterModifier rather
than via HLSLInOutAttr. ActOnOutParamExpr now consults both sources
when deciding whether the diagnostic for a non-lvalue argument should
be reported as inout vs. out.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
ParmVarDecl::updateOutParamToRefType wraps the parameter type in an
LValueReferenceType and adds a restrict qualifier. For aggregate
parameter types (records and arrays, excluding HLSL vectors and
matrices) the indirect ABI lowering already passes them by pointer;
turning them into restrict-qualified references makes the parameter's
type no longer match the source value type during HLSLOutArgExpr
codegen and additionally changes name mangling for shaders that pass
structs by inout/out.

Bail out for true aggregates and leave their type unchanged. This
fixes ValidationTest cases such as RayPayloadIsStruct, RayAttrIsStruct,
ShaderFunctionReturnTypeVoid, RayShaderExtraArg,
RayShaderWithSignaturesFail, CallableParamIsStruct,
WhenMissingPayloadThenFail and WhenPayloadSizeTooSmallThenFail, all of
which rely on the aggregate's mangled name being the unwrapped record
type.

…e copy elision

EmitHLSLOutArgExpr is the new code path for inout/out parameters since
the reference rewrite. It had two problems that surfaced as a wave of
codegen and validation failures:

1. The argument added to the CallArgList was always a scalar RValue
   (`RValue::get(Addr)`). For aggregate parameter types
   (struct/array/matrix) the ABI passes them indirectly as aggregates,
   which routes through CGCall's aggregate-indirect path and emits a
   memcpy. Using a scalar RValue instead caused an extra alloca plus a
   `store T*, T*` with mismatched pointee type, which the bitcode
   verifier rejected ("Explicit load/store type does not match pointee
   type"). Use hasAggregateEvaluationKind on the parameter type to
   pick the appropriate RValue kind.

2. The legacy CGMSHLSLRuntime::EmitHLSLOutParamConversionInit elided
   the inout/out copy when the underlying lvalue was unique among the
   call's out-parameters. The new path always materialized a temporary
   alloca, which produced extra copies that broke many HLSLFileCheck
   tests (debug-info / lifetime / out-arg patterns).

   Reintroduce the optimization at AST level: in EmitCallArgs, walk
   the call's out arguments left-to-right and mark the first occurrence
   of each unique root local VarDecl as skip-copy. EmitHLSLOutArgExpr
   then binds the casted-temporary opaque to the original lvalue and
   passes the lvalue's address directly without a writeback. Only
   elide when the argument's lvalue type matches the parameter
   temporary's type so we never skip a real type conversion.

After the inout/out reference rewrite, dxil-ms-dx codegen for
DXILValidation/atomics.hlsl no longer emits a named `%res` alloca
operand. The atomicrmw and cmpxchg destinations are now numbered
SSA values (`%11`). Update the IR-rewrite source patterns in
ValidationTest.AtomicsInvalidDests accordingly so the negative
validation test continues to exercise the intended diagnostic.

WEXAdapter's StartGroup/EndGroup used wprintf, which on Linux without
a UTF-8 wide locale silently drops the group name. The
HLSLFileCheck-driven batch tests (CompilerTest.BatchHLSL,
BatchDxil, BatchSamples, BatchShaderTargets) rely on these BEGIN
TEST(S)/END TEST(S) markers to identify which underlying .hlsl file
failed.

Switch to fprintf(stderr, "%ls", ...) plus an explicit fflush so
the markers are reliably interleaved with the gtest failure output
and POSIX wide-char setup is no longer required.

…icitConversion"

This reverts commit 504aa9e.

The diagnostic emitted in Sema::PerformImplicitConversion for
ICK_HLSLVector_Truncation is wanted; if tests are failing because it
is firing, the test expectations should be updated rather than
silencing the diagnostic.

…diag

After restoring the duplicate vector truncation diagnostic in
Sema::PerformImplicitConversion, the int2->int conversion at the call
site fires the warning twice: once from the HLSL conversion-checking
path and once from PerformImplicitConversion. Add a second

…meters"

This reverts commit 273b639.

The whole point of the cbieneman/out-param-draft branch is that
inout/out parameters are represented as references in the AST. Skipping
aggregates broke that invariant; it must apply to all parameters
including records and arrays. Tests that depended on aggregates being
non-references should be updated to expect the reference type.

Drops the AST-level copy-elision pre-pass introduced for HLSLOutArgExpr
in EmitCallArgs (and the corresponding skip-copy machinery in
CallArgList and EmitHLSLOutArgExpr). Eliding inout/out copies at the
AST layer turns out to be problematic; in any case where it is safe to
elide the copy, the IR optimizer will remove the copy after inlining,
so this optimization is redundant.

The unrelated correctness fix from the same commit (selecting
RValue::getAggregate for aggregate evaluation kinds in
EmitHLSLOutArgExpr) is preserved.

After restoring the reference+restrict wrap on aggregate inout/out
parameters, the Itanium-style mangling for ray-tracing shader
parameters that take 'inout <Struct>' gets the 'AIA' (lvalue ref +
__restrict) prefix. Update the source-IR find patterns, replacement
patterns, and expected diagnostic strings for the affected
ValidationTest cases (RayPayloadIsStruct, RayAttrIsStruct,
CallableParamIsStruct, RayShaderExtraArg, RayShaderWithSignaturesFail,
WhenPayloadSizeTooSmallThenFail, WhenMissingPayloadThenFail,
ShaderFunctionReturnTypeVoid) to expect the 'AIAU<Struct>@@' form.

…tor truncation

The duplicate vector truncation diagnostic restored in
Sema::PerformImplicitConversion now also fires for the int4->int2
swizzle path, so the test sees two warnings at line 22.

The WEXAdapter shim used fputws/fputwc to write wide-string log
messages on Linux. Without a UTF-8 wide locale set, these calls
silently drop the message, which means test failure messages logged
via WEX::Logging::Log::Error() (and Comment()) never reach the
gtest output. As a result, the BatchHLSL/BatchDxil/BatchShaderTargets
gtest harnesses report 'Failure'/'Failed' with no information about
which underlying .hlsl file failed.

Switch to fprintf(stream, "%ls\n", msg) + fflush, matching the
StartGroup/EndGroup change. The narrow-string format consistently
emits the wide string regardless of locale.

…ision

Without the AST-level copy-elision pre-pass, every inout/out
argument materializes its own copy-in/copy-out temporary in the
front-end IR. After inlining, the IR optimizer is expected to
remove the redundant copies, but at -fcgl/-Od the copies are
visible. Update tests that explicitly checked for the legacy
elided-copy IR pattern:

- copyin-copyout.hlsl, copyin-copyout-operators.hlsl: expect a
  per-argument temporary and the corresponding store/load+store
  copy-in/writeback pairs.
- inout_from_arg.hlsl, local_inout.hlsl: expect the additional
  [5 x i32] alloca temporaries created for inout array copies.
- dxil/debug/out_args.hlsl, dxil/debug/scoped_fragments.hlsl:
  the explicit copies create different debug-info shapes, so
  relax the expectations to what is now emitted.
- shader_targets/library/inout_struct_mismatch-strictudt.hlsl:
  with explicit copy semantics, the inout binding from CallStruct
  to ParamStruct allocates a fresh ParamStruct temporary instead
  of bitcasting the original CallStruct local.

The scalar-extension check for out/inout parameters fired in two cases that
HLSL handles differently:
  1. vector/matrix argument passed for a scalar parameter — the existing
     'cannot truncate lvalue vector/matrix' diagnostic should fire instead.
  2. single-element vector/matrix (e.g. float1, float1x1) <-> scalar — these
     are functionally equivalent in HLSL and were being incorrectly rejected
     for intrinsics like ProcessIsolineTessFactors which take 'out float<1>'.

Treat 1-element vec/mat types as scalar-equivalent and route the truncation
case to err_hlsl_unsupported_lvalue_cast_op.

EmitHLSLOutArgExpr was creating the scratch alloca with CreateIRTemp, which
uses the *scalar* LLVM type (e.g. i1 for bool). Reference-typed parameters
use the memory representation (i32* for a bool), so passing the i1*
temporary mismatched and tripped the validator with 'Explicit load/store
type does not match pointee type of pointer operand' on inputs like
inout bool / bool2 / bool3.

Switch to CreateMemTemp so the temp's pointee type matches the
parameter's reference type.

After dropping AST-level copy elision, every inout/out argument materializes
its own temporary, so:

  * copyin-copyout-struct.hlsl now sees one struct temp + one float temp
    per call site (4 total). Loosen the FileCheck pattern to verify the
    structural copy-in / call / writeback shape without binding the
    individual temporaries (their numbering is fragile).
  * global_constant_const.hlsl: relax the bound SSA value used for the
    cbuffer subscript output (extra annotateHandle bumps numbering).
  * inout_struct_mismatch.hlsl: the inout cast now allocates a fresh
    ParamStruct temp and copies fields in/out instead of bitcasting the
    CallStruct local; mirror the strictudt variant.

…memcpy

* this_reference_2018.hlsl, template_base_this.hlsl: array-typed access
  through a member-of-this is now wrapped in an ArrayToPointerDecay
  ImplicitCastExpr instead of an LValueToRValue cast (which was
  nonsensical anyway).
* this_cast_to_base_class.hlsl: bar() now copies the (Parent)this base
  subobject into the inout temporary via a struct memcpy through the
  Child->Parent bitcast, instead of a field-by-field load/store.

When out/inout matrix parameters are represented as reference types,
HasHLSLMatOrientation needs to peel the reference before probing for
the row_major / column_major attribute. This makes orientation queries
on reference-typed matrix parameters consistent with their non-ref
equivalents.

The HLSLOutArgExpr-based call argument lowering does not currently emit
lifetime.start/lifetime.end around the call argument temporary, so:

  * lifetimes.hlsl, lifetimes_lib_6_3.hlsl: drop the
    bitcast/lifetime.start/lifetime.end lines that were checking for the
    pre-call lifetime bracket on the func/func2 calls. Functional
    coverage of the alloca's lifetime span is still validated by the
    existing lifetime.end CHECK lines elsewhere in those tests.
  * partial-lifetimes-temp.hlsl: drop the trailing lifetime.end CHECK
    line on the call-arg temporary (lifetime.start is still verified).

These are FileCheck pattern updates only; the underlying lifetime-marker
elision is expected to be revisited as a follow-up.

ActOnOutParamExpr no longer flags float<->float1 or uint<->float1 inout

The recent rewrite of out/inout parameters introduced a call to
getNonReferenceType() before checking 'isa<TypedefType>' on the
parameter type. For a typedef like 'typedef row_major int2x2 rmi2x2',
the reference-stripping returned the TypedefType, which then triggered
getDesugaredType() and walked through the AttributedType layer that
holds the row_major / column_major attribute. The result was that
matrix orientation was lost for typedef'd matrix out parameters,
causing them to fall back to the default (column_major) orientation
and producing transposed StoreOutput sequences.

Drop the getNonReferenceType() call here. The path only needs the
typedef desugar to recover the canonical structural type, and
ConstructFieldAttributedAnnotation already strips references
internally. This restores the behavior that existed before the
out-param branch and fixes:

…rite

The HLSLOutArgExpr-based call lowering emits annotateHandle for
sampler arguments before annotating the texture 'this' object,
whereas the previous lowering annotated 'this' first. This is a
codegen ordering change with no semantic effect, but the FileCheck
expectations in these texture sampler tests were tied to the old
order. Swap the AnnotTexture / AnnotSampler CHECK pairs to match
the new emission order.

The new HLSLOutArgExpr / reference-based out-param machinery causes
Sema to insert ImplicitCastExpr<NoOp> wrappers when adapting a
'row_major MxN' (possibly with an address space qualifier) lvalue
to the canonical 'matrix<T,M,N>' type expected by the matrix
operator[] signature. The NoOp cast strips the row_major /
column_major AttributedType layer, so when CGExprCXX hands
Base->getType() to EmitHLSLMatrixSubscript, IsHLSLMatRowMajor falls
back to the default orientation. For groupshared row_major matrices
this produces a column-major-style flat index, e.g. dataC[0][1][0]
indexing element 1 of the underlying flat array instead of element 2.

Walk through any leading NoOp ImplicitCastExpr wrappers and use the
underlying expression's QualType for orientation determination,
matching the original (pre-rewrite) behavior. This restores correct
indexing for swizzleAtomic.hlsl without affecting non-orientation
metadata (the NoOp cast does not change layout).

The DXR payload-access analysis recursively walks AST children to
discover DeclRefExpr nodes that name the payload parameter. With
out/inout payload arguments now lowered through HLSLOutArgExpr +
OpaqueValueExpr, the source DeclRefExpr is no longer reachable via
the default child iterator (OpaqueValueExpr does not expose its
SourceExpr as a child). As a consequence:

  * IsPayloadArg failed to identify nested calls that pass the payload
    as an out/inout argument, leaving CalleeInfo.Payload uninitialized
    in DiagnosePayloadAsFunctionArg and producing a downstream crash
    in GetPayloadType.
  * GetPayloadAccesses missed payload uses inside HLSLOutArgExpr arms,
    so the 'passing a qualified payload to an extern function' warning
    and the nested-call payload-access warnings (CHK3 in
    nested_access.hlsl / access.hlsl) were never emitted.

Teach both helpers to walk through HLSLOutArgExpr (via getArgLValue())
and OpaqueValueExpr (via getSourceExpr()) and to check the recovered
expression directly for the payload DeclRef before recursing.

IsHLSLRayQueryType() called dyn_cast<RecordType>() on the QualType,
which only succeeds when the canonical type is a literal RecordType.
For RayQuery<0> declared as a typedef-named instantiation
('RayQuery<0>':'RayQuery<0, 0>'), the type is a TypedefType wrapping
the RecordType, so dyn_cast fails and the predicate returns false.

In SpirvEmitter, doExpr() for a CXXConstructExpr branches on
IsHLSLRayQueryType to decide whether to skip RayQuery initialization.
With the predicate returning false, the CXXConstructExpr fell
through to 'result = curThis', which leaks the previously seen
member function's 'this' pointer (e.g. SomeStruct::DummyMethod's
%param_this) into the next function. The result was an OpStore that
loaded a rayQueryKHR value from a SomeStruct pointer, which fails
SPIR-V validation.

Switch to getAs<RecordType>() so the predicate sees through typedef /
elaborated sugar, matching how the surrounding code handles HLSL
template instantiations. Fixes CodeGenSPIRV/rayquery_init_expr.hlsl.

the out-param rewrite, the parameter type is now wrapped in
LValueReferenceType, which hides the ConstantArrayType behind the
reference and causes the dyn_cast to fail with the diagnostic
'<kind> output is not an constant-length array'.

Apply getNonReferenceType() locally at the dyn_cast sites so the
ConstantArrayType is visible while preserving the surrounding code path
that intentionally hands the reference-typed QualType to
ConstructFieldAttributedAnnotation (which strips the reference itself
to avoid losing the row_major / column_major attribute when the
parameter type is a typedef).

CheckHLSLCStyleCast unconditionally marked a same-type C-style cast as
an lvalue, even when the source expression was an rvalue (e.g. a
parenthesized conditional with one rvalue branch). The resulting
'lvalue NoOp' cast forced an extra LValueToRValue conversion in the
parent initializer, which in turn defeated EvaluateAsRValue when the
constant evaluator tried to fold the initializer.

This was visible as 'vk::ext_literal may only be applied to parameters
that can be evaluated to a literal value' in cooperative_matrix.impl
where the operands mask is computed via a cast over a conditional.

Only mark the no-op cast as an lvalue when the source is itself an
lvalue, matching the pre-rewrite behavior.

CodeGen emits an addrspacecast from the groupshared (or other non-zero
address space) matrix lvalue to the generic address space whenever the
dx.hl.subscript HL intrinsic — whose signature uses generic-address-space
matrix pointers — is invoked on such an lvalue. By the time
HLMatrixLowerPass runs, scalarrepl-param-hlsl may have already split the
underlying global into the lowered scalar storage, so the addrspacecast
source can be either a matrix-typed pointer or an already-lowered
array/vector pointer.

tryGetLoweredPtrOperand bails on this pattern because the underlying
root is a global variable rather than an Argument or Alloca, and
lowerGlobal only handles globals whose top-level type is a matrix or
matrix-array. The result is that the HL subscript call leaked past
matrix lowering and the validator rejected the surrounding
bitcast/addrspacecast chain in tests like
shader_targets/mesh/as-groupshared-payload-matrix.hlsl.

Add a narrow case to lowerHLMatSubscript: when MatPtr is an
addrspacecast rooted at a global or alloca, either bitcast the source
to its lowered vector type or, if it's already a lowered array/vector
pointer, use it directly. In both cases the lowered pointer remains in
the source address space and AllowLoweredPtrGEPs is true, so
HLMatrixSubscriptUseReplacer GEPs straight into the lowered storage and
loads/stores remain valid groupshared accesses.

The fix is local to lowerHLMatSubscript so it does not affect other
callers of tryGetLoweredPtrOperand (e.g., lowerNonHLCall, which
bitcasts the lowered pointer back to the original matrix-pointer type
and would assert on a silent address-space change).
