I've just looked at a single shader (amnesia/20.frag) that was
improved, so others may be different but it does
float fRimLight = dot(gvNormal, vec3(0.0, 0.0, -1.0));
opt_algebraic optimizes dot products with 0.0 or where arguments
contain a single 1.0 and some number of 0.0, so that code was
optimized to
float fRimLight = gvNormal * -1.0;
... and the IR we generate for this (combined with some other bits are)
(assign (x) (var_ref channel_expressions@2)
(expression float + (constant float (1.000000))
(expression float neg (expression
float abs (expression float neg (var_ref gvNormal_z))))))
i.e., 1.0 - abs(-gvNormal.z). abs(-val). Nice.
