I wonder if it'd be helpful to show the runtime side of this? Just by reading this, I think it's hard to understand what a root signature is, why I'd need to specify one, and what I'd do with one once I'd specified it. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/88781 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
