I've refactored the code to remove the repeated parts, and also fixed Anton Lokhmotov's comments.

Please review.

Thanks

CGDebugInfo.cpp: Can you factor out the repeated code into a helper function?

The other builtin types corresponding to *_t keywords don't have the '_T' as part of the builtin name (Char16, Char32, WChar_S, WChar_U). Including the _T here is inconsistent. Also, how would you feel about giving these identifiers an OpenCL prefix, as we do for the ObjC builtin types?

+  bool isImage1dT() const;                      // OpenCL image1d_t
+  bool isImage1dArrayT() const;                 // OpenCL image1d_t
+  bool isImage1dBufferT() const;                // OpenCL image1d_t
+  bool isImage2dT() const;                      // OpenCL image2d_t
+  bool isImage2dArrayT() const;                 // OpenCL image2d_t
+  bool isImage3dT() const;                      // OpenCL image3d_t

Some of these comments are wrong.

+inline bool Type::isImage1dT() const {
+  if (const BuiltinType *BT = dyn_cast<BuiltinType>(CanonicalType))
+    return BT->getKind() == BuiltinType::Image1d_T;
+  return false;
+}

Please write this as "return isSpecificBuiltinType(BuiltinType::Image1d_T);"

+      Width = Target->getPointerWidth(0); // Currently these types are pointers
+      Align = Target->getPointerAlign(0); // to opaque types

Please put the comment by itself on the line before this (and add a full stop).

+  case BuiltinType::Event_T: Encoding = llvm::dwarf::DW_ATE_unsigned;

It seems that you're giving these types the size and alignment of a pointer, but emitting debug info as if they're 'unsigned int'. Is that really the way this is supposed to work?

+  llvm::Type *ResultType;
+
+  switch (cast<BuiltinType>(T)->getKind()) {
+  default: break;
+  case BuiltinType::Image1d_T:
+    ResultType = llvm::PointerType::get(llvm::StructType::create(
+                           CGM.getLLVMContext(),"opencl.image1d_t"), 0);
+    break;

In your 'default' case, you return an uninitialized value. Please change this to return the PointerType directly, rather than pushing it through a local variable, and add an llvm_unreachable to your default case.

+  friend class CodeGenTypes;
[...]
+      ResultType = CGM.OpenCLRuntime->convertOpenCLSpecificType(Ty);

Please remove the 'friend' declaration and instead use CGM.getOpenCLRuntime() here.

Please also add tests for the PCH serialization/deserialization of these types.

Anton,
I've fixed my patch according to your comments. I've also did some changes. See the patch attached.

Tanya,
I think the OpenCL specific types, including the sampler and the event types should be well distinguishable in IR format. The fact, that a 32 bit integer exposes a superset of the sampler functionality in some perspective is just a coincidence. The sampler type itself could contain additional information (for optimizations and other architecture specifics), and it doesn't have to hold the initializer value in the bitwise or integer format.
The backend should be able to recognize the sampler type from the IR.
In the attached patch, I've moved the OpenCL specific type conversion to the CGOpenCLRuntime class - this class was meant to be overloaded by OpenCL vendors to implement vendor specific behavior (codegen for OpenCL locals is implemented there), and so if a vendor prefers using the i32 representation, he could implement it there.
In the next increment this class should also contain a sampler initialization function, so sampler initialization could be implemented also in a vendor specific way.

Please review this new patch

Thanks

There needs to be a way to differentiate between an integer and a sampler by only looking at the type. The sampler itself is an opaque type in OpenCL. The only requirement is that it is initialized with a 32bit unsigned integer, not that the type itself is an integer.

I'm hoping to have comments on this patch tomorrow, but since I have proposed several patches to Clang for the sampler type (and have another in revision).. can you explain why you want to change the type from an integer to a pointer?

I'd like to renew the discussion about making the OpenCL specific types first class citizens in Clang.

I think this change is required by the OpenCL specifications, since these type names are keywords of the OpenCL C language.
This change is also needed in order to enable efficient checking of OpenCL restrictions on these types (OpenCL 1.2 spec, section 6.9).
Furthermore, the proposed change will turn these types to pointers to opaque types, which means that it will hide the actual (vendor specific) implementation, so the OpenCL vendors using Clang will be able to implement these types in their own way.

This change would also be a basis for the implementation of SPIR generation by Clang. The SPIR discussion and spec can be found here:
