Hi Marko,

I'm not an expert, but clang mainline does a bunch of OpenCL features, such as the vector extensions:
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#vectors

AFAIK, common opencl implementations have various hacks on top of mainline clang, so I doubt clang mainline will be a compliant implementation out of the box.
