Just to keep this on the radar: is there anybody, particularly anyone 
implementing OpenCL in some way, who thinks that specification mandated 
front-end stuff _definitely shouldn't_ be defined via setForcedLangOptions 
(with per-target/implementation stuff set elsewhere)?

(Stating the obvious, it's desirable to keep as much really standard OpenCL 
stuff within the mainstream clang front-end rather than in implementor specific 
patches.)

Cheers,
Dave

It's difficult to tell what the best split up is: the elements in the patch are 
things that can't, by spec, be defined any other way by alternative 
implementations. So is it more maintainable to have them in a block and have 
target/implementation specific tweaks elsewhere, or move everything to be 
per-target? My mild preference is still for the former, but if the consensus 
from others is on the later I'll try to rework things. I'll have a look at 
putting a specific triple on the tests.

Thanks,

Here's a potential counter-proposal: add new targets for OpenCL,
because there could potentially be other things an OpenCL
implementation needs to tweak on a per-target basis (e.g. #defines).
I would like to see a comment from someone else with a different
OpenCL implementation to check what vendors are currently doing.


If you think this really is the best approach, please change the test
to specifically test triples you consider important.
