Description

When glslang stops flattening structs with opaques types, we will need to optimize nested structs as we now optimize non-nested structs.

See hlsl.flattenSubset.frag test in glslang.

Original report from @johnkslang

I claim this issue.

Research direction

Start with the hlsl.flattenSubset.frag test in glslang and inspect how SPIRV-Tools currently optimizes loads and stores for non-nested structs. Determine the expected behavior once nested structs with opaque types are preserved, then verify that the corresponding nested operations are optimized and that the test demonstrates the result.
