(For anyone not aware, I am the developer of the GLSL IR to TGSI translator.)
The developer feedback has already started, actually.
As a side note, contrary to what the article says, it will hopefully be merged to Mesa master before the merge window closes at the end of next week, i.e. it should make it into Mesa 7.11.
Agreed.
There might be some performance gains, but if you're expecting a groundbreaking difference, you'll be disappointed. Converting from Mesa->TGSI had no penalty at all because they use almost the exact same opcodes and conventions, and converting from GLSL->TGSI has many of the same lost optimization opportunities as GLSL->Mesa IR did.
But once I finish incorporating the developer feedback to get it merged, I'm planning to work on improving the code generation for the things that ir_to_mesa didn't handle well.
