- Fixed a crash when a user-defined type named `RayQuery` shadows the intrinsic
type [#8601](https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/issues/8601).
- Fixed a crash from `static` members of a `cbuffer`/`tbuffer`, which were
incorrectly counted as buffer members and shifted the member indices of the
members declared after them
