First, I’d like to note that while clang may be the primary motivator for many of the readers here it is not the only frontend that would like to make use of proper SPIR-V support in LLVM.

Even more than that, it's not only frontends that are interested :)

The AMDGPU backend is used to compile SPIR-V into machine code, and this comes with occasional pains due to subtle semantics mismatches. My hope would be that getting a better alignment of SPIR-V and LLVM would reduce those pains.

Cheers, Nicolai
