Ok, this way it means variable number of arg which isn't right either. But I see some other builtins do the same.

I think a better approach would be to add pipe as a modifier and a way to represent any gentype in builtins declarations here to be able to specify a signature properly. Although it seems it won't be used for anything but documentation purposes.

Also adding the overloaded variant for read/write_pipes explicitly might be a good idea (similar to sync_fetch_and_add).

But I see that not all builtins follow this approach, so it's up to you.

Why do we need to modify user defined functions? Only builtins will have this extra parameter.

I think packet size would be useful for builtin implementation to know the number of bytes to be read/written. I don't see how to implement it correctly otherwise. As mentioned earlier relying on the metadata is not a conventional compilation approach and should be avoided if possible.

Yes, they should. It seems however it has already been checked here?

Makes sense!

I agree the spec doesn't require that checking but I think it's just being imprecise in the description. If you are in doubt you can raise a bug with Khronos to clarify. This might result in additional latency.

I think it makes sense though to check all of them.

I think we need to test all the builtins!
