I have some questions about nvptx:
1) you've said that alloca isn't supported, but it seems
to be wired up and uses the %alloca documented in the PTX
manual, what is the issue with that? %alloca not being actually
implemented by the current PTX assembler or translator?
Yes, it's unimplemented. There's an internal declaration for it but that
seems to be as far as it goes, and that declaration is 32-bit only anyway.
:(. Does NVidia plan to fix that in next version?
They haven't indicated any such plans to me directly. However, there's
a clear direction to support arbitrary C/C++ over time.
