Comments

Needed to add missing directive #include <intrin.h> in hello.cpp to compile.

At runtime, DirectX throws the following error (from hello.cpp:180): 
D3D11 ERROR: ID3D11Device::CreateInputLayout: The provided input signature expects to read an element with SemanticName/Index: 'position'/0, but the declaration doesn't provide a matching name. [ STATE_CREATION ERROR #163: CREATEINPUTLAYOUT_MISSINGELEMENT]

I couldn't debug this error, as I didn't know if the matching problem came from the input spire shader, or from the processes in spire that convert the spire shader to a DirectX shader.

Note that the follow-up Slang (Sigg 2018) is however marked as reproducible.
