This release introduces a language server for Linux ARM64 (AArch64).

Dependencies have been updated to address potential vulnerabilities.

This release adopts opencl-language-server version 0.6.0. It offers performance enhancements and resolves various bugs.

Dependencies have been updated to address potential vulnerabilities.

The language server for linux has been recompiled on Ubuntu-20.04 and is bundled with this update. This ensures compatibility with older systems for which GLIBC_2.32 is not available.

This version introduces an explorer view extension to display information about available OpenCL devices.

• Distribution of the clinfo and oclinfo binary utilities has been discontinued in favor of opencl-language-server/0.4.

• The OpenCL: Info command now displays non-localized information about OpenCL devices in JSON format and corresponds to content displayed in the explorer view.

• Fixed code formatting with clang-format supplied with the ms-vscode.cpptools extension on macOS.

• Security updates.

• Security updates

• Updated opencl-language-server version to 0.3.

• Task provider error messages will only be visible in the developer console
• Security updates

Built-in OpenCL API reference was extended with:

• Async Copy and Prefetch Functions
• Atomic Functions
• Common Functions
• Event Functions
• Geometric Functions
• Image Functions
• Integer Functions
• Math Functions
• Misc. Vector Functions
• Relational Functions
• Sync Functions
• Vector Data Load and Store Functions
• Work-Item Functions
• Pipe Functions

• Added language server to provide diagnostics for an OpenCL kernel
• Security updates

• Updated task provider to support ioc compiler shipped with Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ 2019
• Security updates

• Security updates
• Discontinued support for formatters other than clang-format
• Formatter changes the document without automatic saving
• Unsaved changes are kept when formatting
• Removed configuration opencl.formatting.options

• Fixed highlighting issues
• Fixed security vulnerabilities

• Updated: clang-format (bundled with ms-vscode.cpptools) is a default formatting utility now.
• Updated: Configuration opencl.formatting.args was renamed to opencl.formatting.options.
• Updated: Command OpenCL: Info will not create oclinfo.txt file in the project's root. Instead it will just open a new VS Code tab with command's result without saving it to a file.
• Added: Neither OpenCL: Info command nor Format Document action do not require an open workspace anymore.

• Fixed OpenCL Offline Compiler tasks for the VS Code ^1.31.0.

• Fixed OpenCL tasks for the latest VS Code

• $ioc and $openclc problem matchers replaced with $opencl.common and $opencl.openclc

• Optimized task list generation

The extension provides predefined set of VS Code tasks for kernel compilation using ioc32/ioc64 or openclc (on macOS).

1. Press Tasks > Run Task...

2. Press Run Task... and select one of the predefined opencl tasks for file kernel.cl. The set of tasks (fig. 1) is generated for each kernel file that was found in the current workspace.

   

   Figure 1. Predefined Tasks for ioc64 compiler.

Press Tasks > Configure Tasks.... Select one of the predefined opencl tasks. File tasks.json will be created (or extended) with configuration of the selected task.

You can override command and args fields to use another compiler. Field label is a displayed task name, problemMatcher should be overriten to match a compiler's errors and warnings so messages could be displayed in Problems view.

An example of modified tasks.json configuration file for using AMD Mali as OpenCL offline compiler:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "shell",
            "label": "opencl: malisc compile",
            "task": "compile",
            "command": "malisc",
            "args": [
                "--name kernelName",
                "kernel.cl"
            ],
            "problemMatcher": [
                {
                    "owner": "opencl",
                    "fileLocation": ["relative", "${workspaceFolder}"],
                    "pattern": {
                        "regexp": "^(ERROR|WARNING): <(.*)>:(\\d+):(\\d+): (error|warning): (.*)$",
                        "file": 2,
                        "line": 3,
                        "column": 4,
                        "severity": 1,
                        "message": 6
                    }
                }
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ]
