Description Sven Arvidsson 2016-05-04 16:35:52 UTC

I get these errors when trying to use the OpenCL renderer in Blender:

Compiling OpenCL kernel ...
Build flags: -D__NODES_MAX_GROUP__=0 -D__NODES_FEATURES__=0 -D__MAX_CLOSURE__=1 -D__NO_HAIR__ -D__NO_OBJECT_MOTION__ -D__NO_CAMERA_MOTION__ -D__NO_BAKING__ -D__NO_SUBSURFACE__ -D__NO_BRANCHED_PATH__
OpenCL kernel build output:
stringInput.cl:20217:22: error: field has incomplete type 'struct PathRadiance'
stringInput.cl:20217:9: note: forward declaration of 'struct PathRadiance'
stringInput.cl:20222:23: error: array has incomplete element type 'struct PathRadiance'
stringInput.cl:20217:9: note: forward declaration of 'struct PathRadiance'

Blender 2.77, launched with CYCLES_OPENCL_SPLIT_KERNEL_TEST=1, Beignet 1.1.2, LLVM 3.6.2

Ivybridge Mobile

Testing an older release, 2.76 I get this error:

stringInput.cl:2476:12: error: used type 'float' where floating point type is not allowed

I noticed that POCL (a CPU based implementation) give the same errors and warnings. So maybe these are problems with llvm or Blender?

Blender upstream issue can be found here^[1]. I also sent a minor fix to libclew which is needed for some folks so i'll include it here^[2].

This blocks Blender/Cycles from working with radeon using mesa/opencl currently.

Kind Regards,
Edward.

Turns out this issue is actually within

Comment 4 Edward O'Callaghan 2016-08-28 04:08:20 UTC

Blender itself.

However, good luck getting anything sensible merged with them, they are too dumb to understand their own software and just wast time. Fixes needed are below:
