The text here ties this fairly strongly to the input format, as well as the specifics of DXBC containers. I'm not going to object too much, but I'm not sure that's entirely warranted; I could imagine the the target format/API making a difference for what we return here, as well as compilation options. I could also imagine e.g. compiling HLSL to GLSL, and still wanting information about the input/output interface. Perhaps notably, the API tests here use HLSL as actual source.
Is there a notion of shader signature which is at the same time sufficiently general so that it applies to all (or at least most) shader formats and sufficiently specific so that it's actually usable for something?
