File IO incompatible with custom context

2

All of the functions that operate on files, such as `mpack_reader_init_filename` store the file handle in the custom context. This means that the context can't be set by the user...

Component swizzling / vector indexing not considered a constant expression

4

This issue manifests when trying to define arrays where the length is a component of a constant variable or expression, which fails to compile with the error "variable length arrays...

Generic value parameters can have incorrect values when accessed through an interface

7

Hi, this issue is quite recent, it started appearing when I updated Slang from 2025.4 to 2025.9.2. ```slang interface IFoo { void test(); }; struct Foo : IFoo { void...

[SPIR-V] sizeof(vk::BufferPointer) is not supported

3

**Description** See title. This is necessary to support manual indexing through pointer arithmetic when the stored type itself contains a vk::BufferPointer. I don't think there should be any problems with...

[SPIR-V] Scalar layout to follow C structure layout

5

See #7894 for context. Note that this is a backwards incompatible change and may break code that relies on the current odd behavior of `-fvk-use-scalar-layout`. It also fixes a case...

[SPIR-V] vk::static_pointer_cast and vk::reinterpret_pointer_cast fail to compile

2

**Description** Currently these two casting functions for buffer pointers don't seem to cast at all - they behave as if their return type is the same as the input type:...

[SPIR-V] Scalar layout does not follow C-like structure layout rules

3

**Description** With `-fvk-use-scalar-layout` we can get a C-like structure layout, enabling easy code sharing between device and host. But the reality is that it only *almost* works, leading to hard-to-debug...
