Error in CodeXL:Not Able to debug the Kernel.

Hi

When i am trying to debug the kernel. CodeXL Version  0.94.774

i get this error,

"could not debug the kernel.,This kernel uses unsupported features.

Kernel might be using printf command"

Where as i dont use any printf Statements inside the Kernel...

I have like 7 Kernels in the Same .cl file...When i put the breakpoints in Each of the Kernels and try to step through...

After the First Or the Second Kernel is executed it eits with this error SIGSEGV...and as i See there is nö Memory Problem...

When i tried to debug the Same Kernel with nö changes sometimes it goes through all the Kernels with proper result...

Are there Lot of Bugs with CodeXL Beta Version ....and i See there is a New Version which is 1.0.100 ...which i am Not Able to Update Presently,Hope to See Bugs fixed with the Update...

Thanks for the help.

Hi Sharath,

Thanks for using CodeXL beta version.

Could you post the Catalyst version and OS version you're using? Core dump? Furthermore, if you can share your code I will be able to give a definite answer why the debugging session crashes.

CodeXL 1.0 is not yet available but is coming very soon! It will contain a host of bug fixes and improved features so it's something to look forward to...

When i am trying to debug other examples,usch as convolution which i am getting proper outputs,that also i am not able to debug...shows the same message

Could not debug kernel.

This kernel uses unsupported features.

Kernel might be using printf command.

But when i try to load the teapot sample it works,i see quite number of people posting today having the same problem.

Hi Sharath,

From the information provided by you, i could infer that you are using OpenCL 1.2.

CodeXL does not support some of the API's in OpenCL 1.2 i.e. for example clLinkProgram. That's the reason, you are seeing " Could not debug kernel. This kernel uses unsupported features...." error message.

The inbuilt "Teapot" sample does not use any of the OpenCL 1.2 API's and hence it runs fine without any issues.

We will be updating the forum once the support for OpenCL 1.2 is enabled in CodeXL.

Thanks,

Kalyan P

It would be also nice if CodeXL will write what exactly is wrong and not just geenral "unsupported feature error"

Thanks
