[C++4OpenCL] Introduces __remove_address_space utility
ClosedPublic

Authored by Topotuna on Jul 26 2021, 4:13 AM.

Details

Summary

This change provides a way to conveniently declare types that have
address space qualifiers removed.

Since OpenCL adds address spaces implicitly even when they are not
specified in source, it is useful to allow deriving address space
unqualified types.

Fixes llvm.org/PR45326

Change to LanguageExtensions.rst assumes there is a section about the utility on official C++ for OpenCL documentation. However, it is not yet documented

I think we should migrate this description into here for now and make this a clang-only feature in C++ for OpenCL v1.0. Mainly because new functionality changes can only be added with the version increase. Otherwise, developers would have to know which clang supports it and which doesn't.

But I suggest keeping your draft PR https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Docs/pull/647 open so we don't forget to add it into the next language version doc.

I would like @svenvh to take a look from the clang header's design point.

Reference to C++ for OpenCL 1.0 specification removed. More elaborate code example added.

Looks okay to me.

It's maybe worth testing is_same with static_assert(!is_same<float, int>::value); too, or at least testing some negative case.

A case without any address space qualifiers is currently missing (i.e., for the first trait).

Additional tests added for is_same

Maybe we could title it something like:

Address space removal utility
or
Address space removal trait
?

Although we could also be more specific and name it
Remove address space builtin function?

Builtin address space removal utility?

I would prefer not to leave wording "Remove address space" in description because it is already what utility name says and so it adds no extra information.

1968

I would rather use word "affects" instead of "removes" here. There is already excessive amount of "remove" in this paragraph

Topotuna updated this revision to Diff 362027.Jul 27 2021, 7:28 AM

Test case added that checks if __remove_address_space modifies types without address space

The patch looks good but I would like to check with @rjmccall whether it would make sense to add this functionality generically for C/C++ too just like __remove_const and other builtins proposed in https://reviews.llvm.org/D67052?

Well the section name is to identify the content and not to provide extra information so the closer you are to the actual content the better. I find Remove address space builtin function much more specific to the content to be honest.
