When testing latest AMD OpenCL CPU implementation against my ruby bindings I found that I could not get the binaries from a compiled OpenCL program.
This happens with both the driver from the APP SDK v3.0 and the Radeon Crimson 15.12-15.302. I am using a 64bit Ubuntu 16.04 (4.4.0-21 kernel) with gcc 5.3.1 on an i7-2760QM CPU with 8GB of RAM.
I made a test case in C (attached) that reproduces the behavior. The heap is corrupted during the call to clGetProgramInfo:
gcc test_amd.c -lOpenCL -Wall -g
valgrind ./a.out -v

Without valgrind the program segfaults at resource releases or sometimes earlier.
I ran the same test case against Intel and nVidia implementations to double check but they ran fine with and without valgrind.
Aside from that everything worked fine in fact (program creation, build, kernel creation and test, introspection...).
Let me know if I overlooked something.
