LLVM/Clang is a community effort and it helps a lot to get the changes in when the community understands what is it you're planning to do. I personally am very glad to see AMD moving towards making clang a viable compiler for AMD GPUs, but there's only so much I'll be able to do to help you with reviews if all I have is either piecemeal patches with little idea how they all fit together or one humongous patch I would have no time to dive in and really understand. Considering that compilation for GPU is a fairly niche market my bet is that your progress will be bottlenecked by the code reviews. Whatever you can do to make reviewers jobs easier by giving more context will help a lot with upstreaming the patches. > I will either update https://reviews.llvm.org/D42800 or create a new review > about the toolchain changes for compiling and linking HIP programs. > Essentially HIP has its own header files and device libraries which are taken > care of by the toolchain patch. Fair enough. I'll wait for the rest of the patches. If you have multiple pending patches, it helps if you could arrange them as dependent patches in phabricator. It makes it easier to see the big picture. > Since the header file and library seem not to affect this patch, is it OK to > defer their changes to be part of the toolchain patch? I'm not sure I understand. Could you elaborate? https://reviews.llvm.org/D44984 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
