- WinSystemClock is a FILETIME clock without scaling, can convert to
system_time
- XSystemClock is a FILTETIME clock with scaling applied, can only
convert to WinSystemClock
`pxor` is a zero-uop register-rename and `gf2p8affineqb dest, zero, int8`
is a very quick single-instruction way to use affine galois
transformations to fill a register with an immediate byte without
touching memory.
The pkg_config helper for premake was not checking for errors. When it
failed to run, either when it is not installed or the queried package is
not found, a cryptic error message would be printed:
"Error: .../xenia/third_party/premake-core/src/base/string.lua:36: attempt to index a nil value (upvalue 's')"
Fix this by checking the return status when calling pkg-config and
printing a descriptive error message.
Transfers are functional on a D3D12-like level, but need additional work so fallbacks are used when multisampled integer sampled images are not supported, and to eliminate transfers between render targets within Vulkan format compatibility classes by using different views directly.
Edit one of the lanes in this unit-test to be larger than the width of
the element-size to ensure that this case is handled correctly.
It should only mask the lower `log2(32)=5` bits of the input, causing
`33`(`100001`) to be `1`(`000001`).
`vprolvd` is an almost 1:1 analog with this opcode and can be
conditionally emitted when the host supports AVX512{F,VL}.
Altivec docs say that `vrl{bhw}` masks the lower log2(n) bits of the
element-size.
[vprold](https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/vprold:vprolvd:vprolq:vprolvq)
modulos the shift-value by the element size in bits, which is the same
as masking the lower log2(n) bits. So `vrlw` maps exactly to `vprold`.
