## Description

`SubgroupGeMask`

  Decorating a variable with the `SubgroupGeMask` builtin decoration will make that variable contain the subgroup mask of the current subgroup invocation. The bits corresponding to the invocations greater than or equal to `SubgroupLocalInvocationId` through `SubgroupSize`-1 are set in the variable decorated with `SubgroupGeMask`. All other bits are set to zero.

  `SubgroupGeMaskKHR` is an alias of `SubgroupGeMask`.

Valid Usage

- VUID-SubgroupGeMask-SubgroupGeMask-04372
  The variable decorated with `SubgroupGeMask` must be declared using the `Input` `Storage` `Class`

- VUID-SubgroupGeMask-SubgroupGeMask-04373
  The variable decorated with `SubgroupGeMask` must be declared as a four-component vector of 32-bit integer values
