Changes

This patch enhances error handling and validation in the DirectX backend's root signature parsing. The changes include:

  1. Improved Error Reporting:

    • Introduced reportInvalidTypeError utility to provide detailed error messages for type mismatches.
    • Enhanced diagnostic messages for invalid metadata nodes and values.
  2. Validation Updates:

    • Added stricter validation for descriptor tables and static samplers.
    • Improved handling of invalid values for filter modes, address modes, and LOD parameters.

Example changes:

if (Element == nullptr)
  return reportInvalidTypeError<MDNode>(Ctx, "DescriptorTableNode", DescriptorTableNode, I);

if (std::optional<uint32_t> Val = extractMdIntValue(StaticSamplerNode, 1))
  Sampler.Filter = *Val;
else
  return reportInvalidTypeError<ConstantInt>(Ctx, "StaticSamplerNode", StaticSamplerNode, 1);

Testing:

  • Validation of invalid metadata nodes and values.
  • Proper diagnostic messages for type mismatches.
  • All existing DirectX backend tests continue to pass.
