     30  * Geometry Shaders can call EmitVertex()/EmitStreamVertex() to output an
     31  * arbitrary number of vertices.  However, the shader must declare the maximum
     32  * number of vertices that it will ever output - further attempts to emit
     33  * vertices result in undefined behavior according to the GLSL specification.
     34  *
     35  * Drivers might use this maximum number of vertices to allocate enough space
     36  * to hold the geometry shader's output.  Some drivers (such as i965) need to
     37  * implement "safety checks" which ensure that the shader hasn't emitted too
     38  * many vertices, to avoid overflowing that space and trashing other memory.
     39  *
     40  * The count of emitted vertices can also be useful in buffer offset
     41  * calculations, so drivers know where to write the GS output.
     42  *
     43  * However, for simple geometry shaders that emit a statically determinable
     44  * number of vertices, this extra bookkeeping is unnecessary and inefficient.
     45  * By tracking the vertex count in NIR, we allow constant folding/propagation
     46  * and dead control flow optimizations to eliminate most of it where possible.
     47  *
     48  * This pass introduces a new global variable which stores the current vertex
     49  * count (initialized to 0), and converts emit_vertex/end_primitive intrinsics
     50  * to their *_with_counter variants.  emit_vertex is also wrapped in a safety
     51  * check to avoid buffer overflows.  Finally, it adds a set_vertex_count
     52  * intrinsic at the end of the program, informing the driver of the final
     53  * vertex count.
