From: Ian Romanick <ian.d.roman...@intel.com>

Previously if-statements were lowered from inner-most to outer-most
(i.e., bottom-up).  All assignments within an if-statement would have
the condition of the if-statement appended to its existing condition.
As a result the assignments from a deeply nested if-statement would
have a very long and complex condition.

Several shaders in the OpenGL ES2 conformance test suite contain
non-constant array indexing that has been lowered by the shader
writer.  These tests usually look something like:

    if (i == 0) {
        value = array[0];
    } else if (i == 1) {
        value = array[1];
    } else ...

The IR for the last assignment ends up as:

    (assign (expression bool && (expression bool ! (var_ref 
if_to_cond_assign_condition) ) (expression bool && (expression bool ! (var_ref 
if_to_cond_assign_condition@20) ) (expression bool && (expression bool ! 
(var_ref if_to_cond_assign_condition@22) ) (expression bool && (expression bool 
! (var_ref if_to_cond_assign_condition@24) ) (var_ref 
if_to_cond_assign_condition@26) ) ) ) )  (x) (var_ref value) (array_ref 
(var_ref array) (constant int (5)))

The Mesa IR that is generated from this is just as awesome as you
might expect.

The strategy for lowering nested if-statements is changed slightly.
When an if-statement is lowered, it's condition is added to a
hash-table.  When lowering an if-statement and an assignment is
encountered with an existing condition, the hash-table is checked for
that condition.  If the condition is in the hash-table, the condition
is not modified.

When an assignment to a condition in the hash-table is encountered, an
extra unconditional assignment of false is added to the IR and the new
condition is added to the assignment.  This ensures that a condition
in a nested if-statement is only set to true if the condition in the
enclosing if-statement was also true.

Before this change, one of the shaders in the OpenGL ES2 conformance
test suite's acos_float_frag_xvary generated 348 Mesa IR instructions.
After this change it only generates 124.
