Description

Description
Using:
static ResourceType some_var_name = ResourceDescriptorHeap[...];
In a lib_6_6 target (closest hit shader) results in a compiler crash.

Note: it appears to be fixed in the trunk version of the compiler.

Steps to Reproduce
Compiler explorer

-spirv -T lib_6_6 -E closest_hit_main

Actual Behavior

Program terminated with signal: SIGSEGV
Compiler returned: 139

Environment

  • DXC version 1.9.2602

Research direction

Start with the Compiler Explorer reproduction linked in the issue and run it with -spirv -T lib_6_6 -E closest_hit_main using DXC 1.9.2602. Compare the result with the trunk compiler, then trace the relevant compiler path to determine why the static ResourceDescriptorHeap case crashes. Done means the reproducer no longer produces SIGSEGV and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
