[cfe-dev] OpenCL SPIR/NVPTX code generation

[ankur deshwal]

Hi Guy,

Thanks a lot for the clarification.

I tried using the triple for SPIR as

$ clang -x cl -fno-builtin -emit-llvm -c -Xclang -triple -Xclang
spir-unknown-unknown Simple_Kernel.cl

However I get the following error.
error: unknown target triple 'spir-unknown-unknown', please use -triple or
-arch

I also tried with triple nvptx-unknown-unknown
clang -x cl -fno-builtin -emit-llvm -S -Xclang -triple -Xclang
nvptx-unknown-unknown Simple_Kernel.cl

Then I get following error.
error: unknown target CPU 'pentium4'

If I dont specify the triple, it compiles fine. However in the llvm
generated, it shows the target triple as
target triple = "i386-pc-linux-gnu"

So it crashes with the llc ( due to the address space errors).

I also tried building llvm with only nvptx target, still the target triple
is the same.

Please help.

Thanks a ton,
Ankur
