+OpenCL Extensions and Features
+------------------------------
+
+Clang implements various extensions to OpenCL kernel languages.
+
+New functionality is accepted as soon as the documentation is detailed to the
+level sufficient to be implemented. There should be an evidence that the
+extension is designed with implementation feasibility in consideration and
+assessment of complexity for C/C++ based compilers. Alternatively, the
+documentation can be accepted in a format of a draft that can be further
+refined during the implementation.
+
+Implementation guidelines
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This section explains how to extend clang with the new functionality.
+
+**Parsing functionality**
+
+If an extension modifies the standard parsing it needs to be added to
+the clang frontend source code. This also means that the associated macro
+indicating the presence of the extension should be added to clang.
+
+The default flow for adding a new extension into the frontend is to
+modify `OpenCLExtensions.def
+<https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/include/clang/Basic/OpenCLExtensions.def>`_
+
+This will add the macro automatically and also add a field in the target
+options ``clang::TargetOptions::OpenCLFeaturesMap`` to control the exposure
+of the new extension during the compilation.
+
+Note that by default targets like `SPIR` or `X86` expose all the OpenCL
+extensions. For all other targets the configuration has to be made explicitly.
+
+Note that the target extension support performed by clang can be overridden
+with :ref:`-cl-ext <opencl_cl_ext>` command-line flags.
+
+**Library functionality**
+
+If an extension adds functionality that does not modify standard language
+parsing it should not require modifying anything other than header files or
+``OpenCLBuiltins.td`` detailed in :ref:`OpenCL builtins <opencl_builtins>`.
+Most commonly such extensions add functionality via libraries (by adding
+non-native types or functions) parsed regularly. Similar to other languages this
+is the most common way to add new functionality.
+
+Clang has standard headers where new types and functions are being added,
+for more details refer to
+:ref:`the section on the OpenCL Header <opencl_header>`. The macros indicating
+the presence of such extensions can be added in the standard header files
+conditioned on target specific predefined macros or/and language version
+predefined macros.
+
+**Pragmas**
+
+Some extensions alter standard parsing dynamically via pragmas.
+
+Clang provides a mechanism to add the standard extension pragma
+``OPENCL EXTENSION`` by setting a dedicated flag in the extension list entry of
+``OpenCLExtensions.def``. Note that there is no default behavior for the
+standard extension pragmas as it is not specified (for the standards up to and
+including version 3.0) in a sufficient level of detail and, therefore,
+there is no default functionality provided by clang.
+
+Pragmas without detailed information of their behavior (e.g. an explanation of
+changes it triggers in the parsing) should not be added to clang. Moreover, the
+pragmas should provide useful functionality to the user. For example, such
+functionality should address a practical use case and not be redundant i.e.
+cannot be achieved using existing features.
+
+Note that some legacy extensions (published prior to OpenCL 3.0) still
+provide some non-conformant functionality for pragmas e.g. add diagnostics on
+the use of types or functions. This functionality is not guaranteed to remain in
+future releases. However, any future changes should not affect backward
+compatibility.
