Compound Statements

Compound statements are statements that can hold other statements.

This document maps the WGSL compound statements to their semantic tree representations.

if statement

WGSL:

if (condition_a) {
    statement_a;
} else if (condition_b) {
    statement_b;
} else {
    statement_c;
}

Semantic tree:

sem::IfStatement {
    condition_a
    sem::BlockStatement {
        statement_a
    }
    sem::ElseStatement {
        condition_b
        sem::BlockStatement {
            statement_b
        }
    }
    sem::ElseStatement {
        sem::BlockStatement {
            statement_c
        }
    }
}

for loop

WGSL:

for (initializer; condition; continuing) {
    statement;
}

Semantic tree:

sem::ForLoopStatement {
    sem::Statement  initializer
    sem::Expression condition
    sem::Statement  continuing

    sem::LoopBlockStatement {
        sem::Statement statement
    }
}

loop

WGSL:

loop (condition) {
    statement_a;
    continuing {
        statement_b;
    }
}

Semantic tree:

sem::LoopStatement {
    sem::Expression condition

    sem::LoopBlockStatement {
        sem::Statement statement_a
        sem::LoopContinuingBlockStatement {
            sem::Statement statement_b
        }
    }
}

switch statement

WGSL:

switch (condition) {
    case literal_a, literal_b: {
        statement_a;
    }
    default {
        statement_b;
    }
}

Semantic tree:

sem::SwitchStatement {
    sem::Expression condition
    sem::CaseStatement {
        sem::BlockStatement {
            sem::Statement statement_a
        }
    }
    sem::CaseStatement {
        sem::BlockStatement {
            sem::Statement statement_b
        }
    }
}
