Poor precision with fract in MSL fast-math mode
Here is an example fragment shader code (Rendering a cube with texCoord in [0, 1]): colorSample.x = in.texCoord.x; Which produce this result: However, if I make a small change to the code like this: colorSample.x = fract(ceil(0.1 + in.texCoord.x * 0.8) * 1000000) + in.texCoord.x; Then it will produce this result: If I disable fast-math in the second case, then it will produce the same image as in the first case. It seems that in fast-math mode, large parameter for fract() will affect precision of other operand in the same expression. Is this a bug in fast-math mode? How should I circumvent this problem?

Xcode 13 metal frame capture cannot see shader source code
After I upgrade to Xcode13, I find that when I do a metal frame capture, I can no longer see shader source code as before. Double click shader function will show a dialog like this: Does anyone have the same problem?
