64bit atomic_cmpxchg

Hi!

I'm currently using supposedly the latest amdgpu-pro driver to write OpenCL codes on W8100 (Hawaii).  Our code uses 64-bit atomic_cmpxchg, and

#pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_khr_int64_base_atomics : enable 

was added to the beginning of the cl code.  But the compilation suggests atomic_cmpxchg only accept 32-bit integers, but not 64-bit ones.  Is this normal?

For 64bit version, name of the function starts with atom_<> instead of atomic_<>

This post is best to be posted at OpenCL that deals with OpenCl coding and issues. Deepak ​, AMD Moderator, might be able to assist you in getting access to this forum if you have problems posting there.

Please use 64-bit version of this function atom_cmpxchg .

That is exactly what we intended to do - 64-bit atomic_cmpxchg (as in the title).  The pointer (the first argument) we fed to the atomic_cmpxchg is __global ulong *, but the *.cl built with errors.  The error messages seem to try to convert ulong to 32-bit integers as the following:

/tmp/OCL32735T3.cl:99:26: error: no matching function for call to 'atomic_cmpxchg'

        prevVal.intVal = atomic_cmpxchg((volatile __global CL_ATOMICINT *)source, assume.intVal, newVal.intVal);
