Currently, devices store a raw pointer to back to their owning Platform. Platforms are stored directly inside of a vector. Modifying this vector risks invalidating all the platform pointers stored in devices. This patch allocates platforms individually, and changes devices to store a reference to its platform instead of a pointer. This is safe, because platforms are guaranteed to outlive the devices they contain.
Liboffload
This directory contains the implementation of the work-in-progress new API for Offload. It builds on top of the existing plugin implementations but provides a single level of abstraction suitable for implementation of many offloading language runtimes, rather than just OpenMP.
Testing liboffload
The main test suite for liboffload can be run with the check-offload-unit
target, which runs the offload.unittests executable. The test suite will
automatically run on every available device, but can be restricted to a single
platform (CUDA, AMDGPU) with a command line argument:
$ ./offload.unittests --platform=CUDA
Tracing of Offload API calls can be enabled by setting the OFFLOAD_TRACE
environment variable. This works with any program that uses liboffload.
$ OFFLOAD_TRACE=1 ./offload.unittests
---> olInit()-> OL_SUCCESS
# etc
The host plugin is not currently supported.
Modifying liboffload
The main header (OffloadAPI.h) and some implementation details are
autogenerated with tablegen. See the API definition README
for implementation details.
