Hi Artem, I am responsible for upstreaming Greg's work and addressing reviewers' comments. Yes we already have a basic working implementation of HIP compiler due to Greg's work. I will either update https://reviews.llvm.org/D42800 or create a new review about the toolchain changes for compiling and linking HIP programs. Essentially HIP has its own header files and device libraries which are taken care of by the toolchain patch. Since the header file and library seem not to affect this patch, is it OK to defer their changes to be part of the toolchain patch? Thanks. https://reviews.llvm.org/D44984 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
