            Bug ID: 15685
           Summary: OpenCL 'char' is not signed
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

    Classification: Unclassified

When compiling OpenCL, the signedness of 'char' is platform dependant (as in
C), whereas the OpenCL spec (§6.1.1) defines 'char' to be signed.

check with e.g.: 
echo "int foo=(char)0xff;" | clang -x cl - -o - -emit-llvm -S

which compiles on PowerPC to:
@foo = global i32 255, align 4

but, on Intel:
@foo = global i32 -1, align 4
