[amd-spirv-backend][Backend] Identify and address translator/backend delta #306

@lamb-j

Description

@lamb-j

Once optional support for the SPIRV backend is added for --offload-arch=amdgcnspirv, we need to identify the delta between that and the existing default SPIRV-translator-based implementation.

Likely differences may include:

  • relaxing casts
  • carrying specific attributes as non-semantic metadata
  • incorporating debug information
  • etc

We can assess the delta with some initial testing of:

  • Directly compare output of translator and backend (and try reverse translating both)
  • LLVM LIT spirv-related tests
  • Comgr tests

Sub/child/dependent issues can be created as issues are identified. When possible, fixes should land in upstream llvm-project, otherwise they should land in ROCm/llvm-project.
