shader-slang/slang Crash / ICE when emitting code for interface types without -conformance flags
Original task statement excerpt
Crash / ICE when emitting code for interface types without -conformance flags
## Issue Description
When compiling code that uses `StructuredBuffer<IInterface>` without providing `-conformance` flags to `slangc`, the compiler crashes (SIGSEGV) or hits an internal compiler error (E99999) during code emission. The compiler should instead emit a clean diagnostic such as E50100 ("no type conformances found").
This is a robustness issue: providing `-conformance` flags makes the code compile successfully. The crash only occurs when conformances are omitted.
## Reproducer Code
```hlsl
interface IFoo
{
float getValue();
}
struct Impl : IFoo
{
float v;
float getValue() { return v; }
}
StructuredBuffer<IFoo> inputBuffer;
RWStructuredBuffer<float> outputBuffer;
[numthreads(1, 1, 1)]
void computeMain()
{
outputBuffer[0] = inputBuffer[0].getValue();
}
```
**Commands (both crash):**
```bash
slangc test.slang -target spirv -entry computeMain -stage compute -emit-spirv-directly
slangc test.slang -target hlsl -entry computeMain -stage compute
```
**With `-conformance`, both succeed:**
```bash
slangc test.slang -target spirv -entry computeMain -stage compute -emit-spirv-directly -conformance "Impl:IFoo=0"
slangc test.slang -target hlsl -entry computeMain -stage compute -conformance "Impl:IFoo=0"
```
## Expected Behavior
The compiler should produce a clean diagnostic (e.g., E50100 "no type conformances found") and exit gracefully.
## Actual Behavior
**SPIRV target** - ICE with unhandled `lookupWitness`:
```
error[E99999]: Slang compilation aborted due to an exception of N5Slang13InternalErrorE unimplemented: Unhandled local inst in spirv-emit:
let %1 : %2 = lookupWitness(%3, %IFoox5FgetValue)
```
**HLSL target** - ICE with unexpected IR opcode:
```
internal error[E99999]: unimplemented feature in Slang compiler: unexpected IR opcode during code emit
```
A variant with multiple conformances (`[anyValueSize(8)]`, two struct implementations) causes a **segfault** (signal 11) with no diagnostic output on the SPIRV target.
## Affected Tests
The following existing tests in the repo crash when compiled directly with `slangc` without conformances (i.e., ou
