This commit refactors the `add_offload_test_device_code` CMake function to compile device code using the C++ compiler (`CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER`) instead of the C compiler. This change enables the use of C++ features, such as templates, within device-side test kernels. This will allow for more advanced and reusable kernel wrappers, reducing boilerplate code in the conformance test suite. As part of this change: - All `.c` files for device code in `unittests/` have been renamed to `.cpp`. - Kernel definitions are now wrapped in `extern "C"` to ensure C linkage and prevent name mangling. This change affects the `OffloadAPI` and `Conformance` test suites. cc @callumfare @RossBrunton @jhuber6
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.
