Description
I am trying to convert a project of mine from wgsl to rust-gpu. I got the basics done, but I have a shader I can't get to compile
This is the entry point
#[spirv(compute(threads(8, 8, 1)))]
pub fn cs_main(
#[spirv(global_invocation_id)] gid: UVec3,
#[spirv(uniform, descriptor_set = 1, binding = 0)] globals: &SBGlobalData,
#[spirv(uniform, descriptor_set = 2, binding = 0)] camera: &SBCameraData,
#[spirv(storage_buffer, descriptor_set = 3, binding = 0)] tlas_nodes: &[BvhNode],
#[spirv(storage_buffer, descriptor_set = 3, binding = 1)] tlas_instances: &[TlasInstance],
#[spirv(storage_buffer, descriptor_set = 3, binding = 2)] blas_nodes: &[BvhNode],
#[spirv(storage_buffer, descriptor_set = 3, binding = 3)] blas_tris: &[Triangle],
#[spirv(descriptor_set = 3, binding = 4)] rt_out: &Image!(2D, format = rgba16f, sampled = false, arrayed = false, multisampled = false),
#[spirv(uniform, descriptor_set = 3, binding = 5)] rt_consts: &RaytracerConsts,
#[spirv(uniform, descriptor_set = 3, binding = 6)] mat_consts: &RtLightConsts,
#[spirv(storage_buffer, descriptor_set = 3, binding = 7)] rt_materials: &[RtMaterialEntry],
#[spirv(descriptor_set = 3, binding = 8)] albedo_sampler: &Sampler,
#[spirv(descriptor_set = 4, binding = 0)] albedo_tex_table: &RuntimeArray<Image!(2D, type = f32, sampled = true, arrayed = false, multisampled = false)>,
) {
Expected Behaviour
Shader compiles fine
Example & Steps To Reproduce
This is the errors I am getting

= note: spirv-opt failed, leaving as unoptimized
error: [VUID-StandaloneSpirv-OpTypeRuntimeArray-04680] OpVariable, <id> '14[%albedo_tex_table]', is attempting to create memory for an illegal type, OpTypeRuntimeArray.
For Vulkan OpTypeRuntimeArray can only appear as the final member of an OpTypeStruct, thus cannot be instantiated via OpVariable
%albedo_tex_table = OpVariable %_ptr_UniformConstant__runtimearr_94 UniformConstant
Bonus: u32.saturated_sub is not implemented btw
System Info
Windows + custom compiler wrap to compile rust-gpu shader at runtime without having my whole workspace on the specific nightly toolchain

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported rust-gpu build with the provided cs_main entry point and its RuntimeArray parameter. Inspect the generated SPIR-V around albedo_tex_table and the Vulkan OpTypeRuntimeArray error; done means the shader compiles without creating an illegal OpVariable for the runtime array.
