Metal Validation Error using arrays in out parameters (wgpu-0.7)

[cs-cordero]

Hello,

I am currently trying to upgrade from wgpu-0.6 to wgpu-0.7, and I'm coming up against some shader-related issues while trying to call Device::create_render_pipeline. Some folks on the Rust Community Discord suggested to me to ask about it here. (https://discord.com/channels/273534239310479360/335502453371961344/819799389974691860)

Here is a paste of my Vertex Shader: https://pastebin.com/vwzvAvwB

Here is the error message given to me:

This shader worked fine before the wgpu-0.7 upgrade, and I'm not sure how to fix this. Is this a bug or is there a workaround?

You can work around by making sure that the relevant ShaderModuleDescriptor::flags does not have VALIDATION flag in it, for now. In the meantime, I filed gfx-rs/naga#567 for a proper fix in Naga validator.

This is fixed upstream, and wgpu-rs is already using it
