Fraser Cormack 15c2d1b328 [libclc] Fix dependencies on generated convert builtins (#127515)
In #127378 it was reported that builds without clspv targets enabled
were failing after #124727, as all targets had a dependency on a file
that only clspv targets generated.

A quick fix was merged in #127315 which wasn't correct. It moved the
dependency on those generated files to the spirv targets, instead of
onto the clspv targets. This means a build with spirv targets and
without clspv targets would see the same problems as #127378 reported.

I tried simply removing the requirement to explicitly add dependencies
to the custom command, relying instead on the file-level dependencies.
This didn't seem reliable enough; in some cases on a Makefiles build,
the clang command compiling (e.g.,) convert.cl would begin before the
file was fully written.

Instead, we keep the target-level dependency but automatically infer it
based on the generated file name, to avoid manual book-keeping of pairs
of files and targets.

This commit also fixes what looks like an unintended bug where, when
ENABLE_RUNTIME_SUBNORMAL was enabled, the OpenCL conversions weren't
being compiled.

libclc

libclc is an open source implementation of the library requirements of the OpenCL C programming language, as specified by the OpenCL 1.1 Specification. The following sections of the specification impose library requirements:

  • 6.1: Supported Data Types
  • 6.2.3: Explicit Conversions
  • 6.2.4.2: Reinterpreting Types Using as_type() and as_typen()
  • 6.9: Preprocessor Directives and Macros
  • 6.11: Built-in Functions
  • 9.3: Double Precision Floating-Point
  • 9.4: 64-bit Atomics
  • 9.5: Writing to 3D image memory objects
  • 9.6: Half Precision Floating-Point

libclc is intended to be used with the Clang compiler's OpenCL frontend.

libclc is designed to be portable and extensible. To this end, it provides generic implementations of most library requirements, allowing the target to override the generic implementation at the granularity of individual functions.

libclc currently supports PTX, AMDGPU, SPIRV and CLSPV targets, but support for more targets is welcome.

Compiling and installing

(in the following instructions you can use make or ninja)

For an in-tree build, Clang must also be built at the same time:

$ cmake <path-to>/llvm-project/llvm/CMakeLists.txt -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="libclc;clang" \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G Ninja
$ ninja

Then install:

$ ninja install

Note you can use the DESTDIR Makefile variable to do staged installs.

$ DESTDIR=/path/for/staged/install ninja install

To build out of tree, or in other words, against an existing LLVM build or install:

$ cmake <path-to>/llvm-project/libclc/CMakeLists.txt -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -G Ninja -DLLVM_DIR=$(<path-to>/llvm-config --cmakedir)
$ ninja

Then install as before.

In both cases this will include all supported targets. You can choose which targets are enabled by passing -DLIBCLC_TARGETS_TO_BUILD to CMake. The default is all.

In both cases, the LLVM used must include the targets you want libclc support for (AMDGPU and NVPTX are enabled in LLVM by default). Apart from SPIRV where you do not need an LLVM target but you do need the llvm-spirv tool available. Either build this in-tree, or place it in the directory pointed to by LLVM_TOOLS_BINARY_DIR.
