This makes several small changes to how the platform and device info queries are handled: * ReturnHelper has been replaced with InfoWriter which is more explicit in how it is invoked. * InfoWriter consumes `llvm::Expected` rather than values directly, and will early exit if it returns an error. * As a result of the above, `GetInfoString` now correctly returns errors rather than empty strings. * The host device now has its own dedicated "getInfo" function rather than being checked in multiple places.
The LLVM/Offload Subproject
The Offload subproject aims at providing tooling, runtimes, and APIs that allow users to execute code on accelerators or other "co-processors" that may or may not match the architecture of their "host". In the long run, all kinds of targets are in scope of this effort, including but not limited to: CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, AI/ML accelerators, distributed resources, etc.
For OpenMP offload users, the project is ready and fully usable. The final API design is still under development. More content will show up here and on our webpage soon. In the meantime, people are encouraged to participate in our meetings (see below) and check our development board as well as the discussions on Discourse.
