Semantically, a NULL buffer is considered equivalent to the empty string. The accessor vkd3d_string_buffer_data implements this equivalence.
The reason for this change is to avoid asserting the result of a memory allocation in vkd3d_string_buffer_init, while at the same time keeping it always successful.
Well, I guess this is one alternative to 216057. I don't dislike it.
Mmmh, I'm not really sure why you see it as such, but it was not meant to. It's true that it conflicts with it (sorry for that, when I wrote and submitted it I hadn't yet seen your patch set), but the intention is another, namely remove the assert(buffer->buffer) in Matteo's patch. This has nothing to do with how to store type names, which you address in your patch.

This means that here, and everywhere else, you can get rid of the NULL check.
I'm pretty sure that in many cases vkd3d_string_buffer_data could be avoided, when it can be shown that the buffer cannot be NULL. Though ideally I'd like to encapsulate as much as possible the fact that the buffer can be NULL inside the accessor vkd3d_string_buffer_data, so I am using the accessor nearly everywhere (a couple of places were actually using knowledge of the internals of vkd3d_string_buffer, and I didn't change that, because after all we're writing C and nobody really expects full encapsulation).

I'm assuming this was accidental.
That was actually the point of the whole patch.

Should this be defined in vkd3d_shader_private.h as an inline function?
Good point about that.
Thanks, Giovanni.
