Consider the following code:
layout(constant_id=0) const int Y = 1;
layout(constant_id=1) const int Z = 2;
layout(constant_id=3) const int X = Y + Z;
Previously, it would produce SPIR-V decorations like this:
Decorate 21(Y) SpecId 1
Decorate 22 SpecId 3
Decorate 33(Z) SpecId 0
This seems inaccurate, since the spec constant `X` that is dependent on
the two others did not get a name in the SPIR-V decorations. This behavior
may potentially negatively affect shader introspection capabilities.
This change alters the behavior to always add a name, which results in the code
above producing the following decorations:
Decorate 21(Y) SpecId 1
Decorate 22(X) SpecId 3
Decorate 33(Z) SpecId 0
These introduce limited support for 8/16-bit types such that they can only be accessed in buffer memory and converted to/from 32-bit types.
