libclc new release

[kloczek]

Looks like Mesa needs on build libclc. At the same time llvm libclc looks like never have been released (cannot find any dist tar ball).

Is it any plan to make release of the libclc?

Hi Tomasz, You're right that Mesa does build against libclc, if the Clover state tracker is enabled. Unless something has changed, that's an optional dependency. Most distributions I've checked have been building snapshots of libclc and shipping those, but it would be nice to get a release of libclc out so that people aren't using random git snapshots. That said, we need to determine what the criteria for a 1.0 release of libclc would be. I had been hoping that we'd be able to get the Clover implementation through the OpenCL 1.2 conformance test suite successfully for at least one hardware/software combination, at which point I'd be enthusiastic about cutting a release. Right now, from a libclc standpoint, I think we're close. We still need a printf() implementation, and there's a few simple functions that might be missing (don't remember if we merged clz/popcount implementations or punted on it), but what is implemented so far I believe is reliable. We *may* be to the point that we'd pass a CL 1.1 conformance run (based on the percentage of the libclc-focused 1.2 tests we do pass), but since there's no public CL 1.1 CTS code, I can't actually officially test it, hence trying to get to 1.2 for which there is an available test suite.

I think that this ticket is now overdue.
