Description Gordon Jin 2009-12-22 23:30:46 UTC 
GLSL is strict with type matching and doesn't allow automatic type conversion (except "int"->"float"), so below shader code is wrong but it is compiled successfully:
    int i = 1.0;

This impacts piglit case: 
piglit/tests/glslparsertest/shaders/dataType4.frag
Comment 1 DONGHE 2010-03-21 16:14:40 UTC 
I had same kind of issue when testing MESA compiler.
Here is my clue to solve this problem, just enable this code in slang_codegen.c

#if 0 /* not used just yet - causes problems elsewhere */
   if (t0.spec.type == SLANG_SPEC_INT &&
       t1.spec.type == SLANG_SPEC_FLOAT)
      return GL_FALSE;
#endif

According to the comment on this code, to activate this code could cause other problems, so I guess you'd better run glean to test whether this change is safe for you.

Let's keep it open until it's actually fixed
Comment 3 Gordon Jin 2010-07-05 01:48:15 UTC 
Below piglit cases fail with the same reason:
comma1.vert
comma2.vert
comma3.vert
conditional3.frag
Comment 4 Eric Anholt 2010-08-17 09:12:28 UTC 
Fixed in glsl2.
Comment 5 Gordon Jin 2010-08-18 19:22:10 UTC 
verified with mesa master d442a01ac14382d83cdaac87d2832315ceb3e963
