[cfe-dev] memory annotation treatment in the compilation of OpenCL code

[Bo Wu]

Hi,

I'd like to see how clang handles local memory in OpenCL. So I compiled the
following code with "clang -S -emit-llvm -o test.ll -x cl test.cl".

int get_global_id(int index);



/* Test kernel */

__kernel void test(__global float *in, __global float *out) {

        int index = get_global_id(0);

        out[index] = 3.14159f * in[index] + in[index];

}

Then I changed "__global" to "__local" and generate the IR again, but the
generated IR is the same as the first one.

I am confused because if the "__local" information is lost when generating
LLVM IR, how can local memory be used anyway?

Thanks,
Bo
