This is one of those unfortunate things we had to do for correctness in CUDA, and the situation seems the same here. When we're not doing separate compilation (which I imagine we're also generally not doing for OpenCL complication), I'm under the impression that the attribute removal is fairly effective. > But if we ask to add the `convergent` attribute into the spec we can avoid > doing this in the compiler? But even if you do that, would that not be in a future version of OpenCL? If so, for code complying to current standards, you'd need this behavior. https://reviews.llvm.org/D38113 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
