[cfe-dev] [RFC] Delayed target-specific diagnostic when compiling for the devices.

[Alexey Bataev via cfe-dev]

__host__ __device__ functions are still device functions and it means that they must be emitted when you compile for the device. You know, that the user marked those functions as the device functions. In OpenMP, you cannot say before the codegen phase whether the function is used on the device or not. We should not emit all the functions available, only those, which are used (implicitly or explicitly, directly or indirectly) in the target regions.

Best regards,
Alexey Bataev
