[cfe-dev] [RFC] New file extension for compiling C++ for OpenCL sources

[Anastasia Stulova via cfe-dev]

Thanks! I see, I think .cl was meant to represent Compute Language as in OpenCL, I would somehow find it better if we don't split cl... I think that "cl" indicates more intuitively that it is OpenCL specific file. We could however use cppcl?

I mean, if .cl is the OpenCL C extension, logically the C++ extension should be .cxxl or .cppl

Hello,

Up to now, we have used the same file extension for OpenCL C and C++ for OpenCL
(https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#cxx-for-opencl). But to keep
consistency with the clang driver interface, it makes more sense that C++ for OpenCL
has a different extension from OpenCL C. Mirroring C and C++ it would be logical to
support the following:

.cl - OpenCL C source file
.clcpp - C++ for OpenCL source file

I would like to share the review that adds a new file extension for C++ for OpenCL with
a wider audience https://reviews.llvm.org/D96771. Feel free to provide us any feedback
regarding the direction or implementation details.

Kind regards,
Anastasia
