| === Description |
| |
| This extension allows the use of a null constant initializer on shader |
| Workgroup memory variables, allowing implementations to expose any special |
| hardware or instructions they may have. |
| Zero initialization is commonly used by applications running untrusted |
| content (e.g. web browsers) as way of defeating memory-scraping attacks. |
