Need guidance on SPIRV reflection
So I use the glslang project, which is the reference compiler for glsl, to get my SPIRV. It's not as fast, but that's not a concern for me.

What HLSL->SPIR-V compiler to use?
From what I can tell, both glslang/shaderc and Microsoft's DirectXShaderCompiler can compile HLSL to SPIR-V code. Is there a consensus on which of these is the better compiler? (wrt to accuracy, optimisations, feature completeness, etc.)
