I think the supported extensions for a target should be as accurate as 
possible, for it to be useful. Setting all extensions to be supported on all 
targets will defeat its purpose.

I recommend to introduce "pocl" as an environment in the triple and add 
supported OpenCL extensions for different targets based on that.

As mentioned on cfe-dev as well, although it doesn't seem too critical it is 
generally not logical to enable all extensions by default because most of the 
targets don't even support OpenCL. But I understand your situation with using 
x86 or ARM backends in a generic way. Do you think this can be solved instead 
with the new " -cl-ext=" option: 
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#opencl-specific-options

May be Sam could comment more since he has done most work with the extensions 
lately.

Cheers,
Anastasia

Subject: PATCH: re-enable OpenCL extensions

Hi,

I noticed a change from clang 3.8 to 3.9, that it disabled all OpenCL extension 
pragmas per default.
This broke pocl on e.g. ARM for LLVM 3.9 
(https://github.com/pocl/pocl/issues/409).

Example:
$ echo "#pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_khr_icd: enable" > hello.cl $ clang  
-emit-llvm -x cl -o tmp.bc -c hello.cl

works fine, but:
$ clang  -emit-llvm -x cl -o tmp.bc -c hello.cl 
--target=armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
hello.cl:1:26: warning: unsupported OpenCL extension 'cl_khr_icd' - ignoring 
[-Wignored-pragmas] #pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_khr_icd: enable
                           ^
1 warning generated.


Attached is a patch that enables OpenCL extensions for all targets per default, 
and then sets the status quo of supported extensions for those targets that 
currently customize their settings (i.e.
NVPTX and AMDGPU).
Most generic CPUs can handle all OpenCL extensions just fine.

Please keep me as CC, I am not subscribed to the list.
thanks,
kalle
