[cfe-commits] [PATCH] Set some OpenCl specification mandated types/alignments/etc

[Pekka Jääskeläinen]

Hi,

If I understood correctly, this patch addresses the issue I asked
in the lists some time ago (but failed to provide a patch due
to no time).

http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2012-January/019528.html

So, if it does, definitely a +1 from me, someone who's trying
to produce a widely portable OpenCL implementation on top of
Clang/LLVM.

http://pocl.sourceforge.net

It should make it easier to support 32-bit targets:

Thanks!

So is it more maintainable to have them in a block and have target/implementation specific tweaks elsewhere, or move everything to be per-target? My mild preference is still for the former, but if the consensus from others is on the later I'll try to rework things. I'll have a look at putting a specific triple on the tests.

There's also a test for those things directly exposed at the user level. (The test is in Misc because the only specific OpenCL directory is for code-gen, which this isn't really... but I can move it somewhere else if desired.) Please review and if ok I'll commit.
