uniformity: test uniformity when a loop body only returns
Consider: loop { s1 continuing { s2 } }
If the statement behaviour of s1 is exactly {Return}, then the statement
behaviour of the entire loop is {Return}. In particular, nonuniformity
effects do not leak out from s2 to the context after or outside of the
whole loop.
See the WGSL spec fix for https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/5100
Test three new statement scenarios, each where s1 starts with `return;`,
but varying where a collective operation is placed:
- immediately after the return statement
- in the continuing block of the same loop
- immediately after the loop, where the continuing block in the loop
has a break-if. This case requires the analysis to avoid using a
Next behaviour from the overall loop.
- immediately after the loop
Also test similar variants where we use `break` instead of `return`.
Also test loop constructs:
- for with a condition: desugars to loop with initial `if !(cond) { break;}`
- for without a condition: desugars to loop without that initial
conditional break.
- while loop

Requirements for PR author:
- [x] All missing test coverage is tracked with "TODO" or
.unimplemented(). - [x] New helpers are
/** documented */and new helper files are found inhelper_index.txt. - [x] Test behaves as expected in a WebGPU implementation. (If not passing, explain above.)
- [x] Test have be tested with compatibility mode validation enabled and behave as expected. (If not passing, explain above.)
Requirements for reviewer sign-off:
- [ ] Tests are properly located in the test tree.
- [ ] Test descriptions allow a reader to "read only the test plans and evaluate coverage completeness", and accurately reflect the test code.
- [ ] Tests provide complete coverage (including validation control cases). Missing coverage MUST be covered by TODOs.
- [ ] Helpers and types promote readability and maintainability.
When landing this PR, be sure to make any necessary issue status updates.
Works in dawn.node
This case fails with Tint locally:
@compute @workgroup_size(16,1,1)
fn main(@builtin(local_invocation_index) lid: u32) {
loop {
return;
continuing {
break if true;
}
}
if (lid > 0) {
workgroupBarrier();
}
}
Looks like the tests here do not cover the case where the is a break if in the continuing block. Is the corresponding spec PR supposed to cover that or is that a separate issue?

Good catch. It should be covered by this rule. I've added your case locally and it fails. So that's good. I'll file a Tint issue to fix it.
I want to add more cases, as found from testing the Tint fixes.
See the DeadLoopTests in https://dawn-review.googlesource.com/c/dawn/+/267474 that cover loop, for-with-cond, for-without-cond, and while.
It's tricky enough that it needs coverage.
I've reworked the statement uniformity checks to use an explicit sensitive data field.
And I've added the variants from the Tint unit test, as described in the updated commit comment.
Passes on dawn.node when Dawn is patched with https://dawn-review.googlesource.com/c/dawn/+/267474
I have a followup which greatly expands coverage of loops. I'll land this now as it is still valid and does fix the #4476 issue
