CL_KERNEL_PRIVATE_MEM_SIZE - bug or stupidity?!

CL_KERNEL_PRIVATE_MEM_SIZE returns zero, always

Hello.

I have a kernel that uses a LOT of private memory. The amount it uses depends and is not known until compilation (array-size set by macros). In order to avoid register-spilling i try to find the optimum work-group-size. To do so i need to know how many memory i can and need to use. However using getWorkGroupInfo after i compiled my kernel never works. Just returns zero. getWorkGroupInfo seems to work (returned values seem to be rounded up towards next register-size-multiple).

I am not sure if this is a bug or my stupidity, because same software on NVIDIA-GPUs has same problems. Don't think my getWorkGroupInfo calls are wrong cause CL_KERNEL_COMPILE_WORK_GROUP_SIZE ie returns good values.

Has anybody ever gotten a real value from getWorkGroupInfo or knows another way to avoid register-spilling without hardcoding hand-counted values?

EDIT: Attached info

PS: Yes, i tried putting explicit "__private", "private" or omitting the qualifier.
