PerformHLSLConversion forced the ICK_Flat_Conversion cast target to the structural/unqualified type, discarding the 'globallycoherent' (and 'reordercoherent') AttributedType. As a result, the converted expression's type no longer reflected the coherence of its destination, forcing consumers to reconstruct that information from declarations. Re-apply the coherence AttributedType to the flat-conversion result when the target is a resource type, so the converted expression's type carries the coherence of its destination (e.g. a ResourceDescriptorHeap[] access used to initialize a 'globallycoherent' resource).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM, but there are 2 probably basic questions I have.
- Oddly in the github view, globallycoherent is highlighted as a keyword in red, but reordercoherent is not. Why is that?
- ResourceDescriptorHeap isn't defined anywhere, yet the tests work. Is this a variable that exists implicitly in all shaders? I don't think I've seen this before.

It is because the GitHub syntax plugin isn't up-to-date with SM 6.9. I think GitHub uses this format grammar, which hasn't been updated in 7 years...

target is a resource type, so the converted expression's type carries the
