I'm concerned that this will be more complex to make work with the other CBV syntaxes. For example, the implicit globals don't have a bufferdecl to attach to, so we'll need an extra implicit decl to attach them to, and the `ConstantBuffer` type has a similar problem. If instead we treat CBV as a storage class with an associated address space (similar to `groupshared`), we can emit cbuffer elements as globals in that address space, standalone globals do the same, and `ConstantBuffer<T>` can effectively be an alias something like: `template <typename T> using ConstantBuffer = constant T`, where the `constant` storage class specifier denotes that it is a unique CBV declaration. This would also solve the problem of `ConstantBuffer`'s member expression operator lookup. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/122820 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
