[cfe-dev] [OpenCL] Question about pre-linking passes required to build OpenCL program

[Anastasia Stulova via cfe-dev]

Hi Sam,

It seems to be generally useful to the community. Could you give some examples of those transformations that can be shared?

Also I am guessing this will be a part of LLVM code base. Do you intend it to be publically available on the master branch?  If yes, perhaps llvm-dev should be added to the discussion too.

Cheers,
Anastasia

Subject: [OpenCL] Question about pre-linking passes required to build OpenCL program

Hi,

We typically need to apply some transformations to the IR between clang and the standard linker. I am wondering if other OpenCL platforms require the same as well?

I'm wondering if we all need such transformations (likely target specific). Is there any way to collaborate on a common infrastructure for pre-linking transformation that would reduce the size of the additions we have to make?

Thanks.

Sam
