================
Comment at: lib/Headers/opencl-c.h:16020
+// The macro CLK_NULL_RESERVE_ID refers to an invalid reservation ID.
+#define CLK_NULL_RESERVE_ID (__builtin_astype((void *)0, reserve_id_t))
 bool __ovld is_valid_reserve_id(reserve_id_t reserve_id);

Also it is more obviously if CLK_**NULL**_RESERVE_ID is equal to 0.

So, we just increased reserve id size by one bit on 32-bit platforms and by 33 bits on 64-bit platforms.

Or we only do this for SPIR and define it as target specific value for other targets.
