We have a lot of template meta programming going on so we probably don't need to RUN tests to test them. The compilation result would be enough. It would be better if we just had a nice way of failing on a compile time known condition. So static assert. But static asserts don't exist in HLSL
Describe the solution you'd like
There are a number of ways to emulate static asserts
e.g. a static array and the size of the array is given by the condition
false = 0 -> cant have an array of size 0
true = 1 -> compiles and is perfectly fine
Another way is via a struct definition. It inherits from a class template that takes a bool parameter, and only the true specialization is valid.
