[Openmp-dev] Math functions when offloading to CUDA devices

[James Price via Openmp-dev]

Hi,

One of the issues we frequently hit when using the Clang OpenMP implementation on NVIDIA GPUs is the lack of support for many common math functions (e.g. cos/sin). Trying to use them produces errors of the form:

    fatal error: error in backend: Cannot select: 0x47b33a0: f64 = fsin 0x47b2f90

Translating math functions in target regions is listed as a feature that isn’t supported yet, but is this something that is expected to be implemented soon? Failing that, if someone can describe the desired approach to implement this I might be able to take a stab at getting some initial patches together (depending on the complexity).

Some functions such as sqrt work fine, but I assume this is because they map directly to NVVM intrinsics.

Cheers,

James
