This is the first PR to implement the semantics proposal: https://github.com/llvm/wg-hlsl/blob/main/proposals/0031-semantics.md

This PR focuses on the changes required to handle user semantics, but tried to be almost NFC.
What changes is the error messages as the semantics case is not kept when reporting error messages.

You might notice the SV_GroupIndex semantic is not properly validated as are others. This is an existing behavior that we'll need to fix, but wanted to keep this separated from this rewrite to stay as-close as an NFC as possible.

The next PR will add support on the different kinds of I/O we can have using semantics (input, inout param, structs).

Changes

This is the first PR to implement the semantics proposal: https://github.com/llvm/wg-hlsl/blob/main/proposals/0031-semantics.md

This PR focuses on the changes required to handle user semantics, but tried to be almost NFC.
What changes is the error messages as the semantics case is not kept when reporting error messages.

You might notice the SV_GroupIndex semantic is not properly validated as are others. This is an existing behavior that we'll need to fix, but wanted to keep this separated from this rewrite to stay as-close as an NFC as possible.

The next PR will add support on the different kinds of I/O we can have using semantics (input, inout param, structs).


Patch is 46.48 KiB, truncated to 20.00 KiB below, full version: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/152537.diff

This commit adds the support for semantics annotations on structs, but
only for inputs. Due to the current semantics implemented, we cannot
test much more than nesting/shadowing.

Once user semantics are implemented, we'll be able to test arrays in
structs and more complex cases.

As-is, this commit has one weakness vs DXC: semantics type validation is
not looking at the inner-most type, but the outermost type:

```hlsl
struct Inner {
  uint tid;
};

Inner inner : SV_GroupID
```

This sample would fail today because `SV_GroupID` require the type to be
an integer. This works in DXC as the inner type is a integer.
Because GroupIndex is not correctly validated, I uses this semantic to
test the inheritance/shadowing. But this will need to be fixed in a
later commit.

Requires llvm#152537

Keenuts added a commit to Keenuts/llvm-project that referenced this pull request Aug 13, 2025
This commit depends on llvm#152537 and llvm#153224

This commit adds support for HLSL input semantics. User semantics are
all semantics not starting with `SV_`.

My only concern is that the parser does not allow digits in the middle of the semantic name. I believe that is possible for user semantics. It works for DXC. Otherwise LGTM.

Thank you all!
reworked the semantic parsing to allow digits in the middle of the identifier. This simplified a bit the parsing. Extended testing to cover those.
Also addressed all other PR comments.
