Descriptor binding name?

[ib00]

It appears that descriptor binding name is always empty.

It appears that the name has to be obtained from
SpvReflectTypeDescription* type_description;
field.

Feature or a bug?

Are you using glslang?

[ib00]

Yes, I am using glslang.

There's a way around it (as demonstrated in the example code using SpvReflectTypeDescription).

Apologies for the super late reply.

There's a disagreement between how glslang and DXC handles the binding names. Unfortunately in some cases. The full details escape me right now, but the TL;DR; is that SPIRV-Reflect favored the DXC style thus resulting in GLSL compiled with glslang to have empty descriptor binding names. I haven't been able to find a good fix for this. One thing that came up while thinking about this was possibly detecting the language and generator and adding empty names. I need to give this some more thought.
