Minutes

Project Updates:

• @XAMPPRocky: Not much, but did add arch module.
• @VZout: Focused on ark work.
• @khyperia: Working on Android stuff for Ark.
• @eddyb: Worked mostly on storage class inference. Moving to specialising for storage classes.
  • How do you we do error handling?
• @khyperia: You could inject OpLine instructions

Discussion around duplicating information as it relates to Android.

• @khyperia: Duplicating instructions such as OpVariable, worked and isn't against spec, but broke android.
  • Questions about whether to merge OpVariables if they have different Debug names, but share all other attributes.
• @eddyb: Can you see builtins through reflection?
• @khyperia: Don't think so, but there are other cases where you can look up stuff from selections such as uniforms
  • What if you two duplicate uniforms on Android? Might break?
• @eddyb: We should probably use a different decoration.
• @khyperia: I think we should stop emitting names for builtins
• @termhn: agreed
• @eddyb: Rust statics have the different semantics, we might need to be careful if we want to have global mutable state at some point.
