            Bug ID: 197448
           Summary: [WHLSL] Cannot assign through pointers
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebGPU
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mmaxfield at apple.com

Consider the following WHLSL statement:

*x = y;

When we compile this, we naively turn this into

auto temp1 = *x;
temp1 = y;

This doesn't actually assign through the pointer, instead it just reassigns a temporary

The WHLSLFunctionWriter needs to be smart enough to understand how to emit code that assigns through a pointer. We also need to determine which situations it needs to be made smarter about.
