Hi everyone,
I'm really excited about OpenCL but there are some problems which really get on my nerves. One problem is that most of the code my colleague wrote (which works perfectly on his NVIDIA card with linux) doesn't work on my machine. This wouldn't be such a problem if there were nice error messages. But the only thing I get is:
cvmsErrorCompilerFailure: LLVM compiler has failed to compile a function.
If I look at the log it tells me:
Running pass 'AMDIL DAG->DAG Pattern Instruction Selection' on function '@test_kernel'
abort() called

Is it just one of many "known bugs" and if yes is there any way to get a newer version of the AMD driver on to my macbook? Or do I have to wait untill apple fixes it??
Thanks,
Nicholas
