That was an error for "vkd3d_shader_compile()".
For what it's worth, in the context of SPIR-V, debug information is things like variable names (i.e., it gets you names like "%main" instead of "%1"), and source information. We don't currently use the latter, but we could embed the D3D assembly for the source shader, which would probably help a little with debugging SPIR-V shaders.
Do you think it's a good idea to go into exact detail on what kind of debug information is included for each target, then? I kind of figured that'd be out of scope for this documentation.
Probably not, no. The above was mostly me trying to clarify what debug information is stripped in practice, due to being confused by "vkd3d_compiler".
