Unhandled task failure on v0.5

[protogeezer]

I have a 5K retina iMac with OpenCL.Device(AMD Radeon R9 M295X Compute Engine on Apple @0x0000000001021c00). I've started getting errors when I build kernels:

ERROR (unhandled task failure): OpenCL Error: OpenCL.Context error: ȧJ? in raise_context_error(::String, ::String) at /Users/sjbespa/.julia/v0.5/OpenCL/src/context.jl:56 in macro expansion at /Users/sjbespa/.julia/v0.5/OpenCL/src/context.jl:97 [inlined] in (::OpenCL.##45#48)() at ./task.jl:309

Running Pkg.test("OpenCL") results in about 1/2 dozen of the errors... with julia updated this morning.

Thanks for the report, could you try the branch https://github.com/JuliaGPU/OpenCL.jl/pull/109? The PR is still WIP, but master does not support v0.5 at the moment.

[protogeezer]

Fair enough. How do I select the vc/refactor branch? I tried doing a git checkout followed by a Pkg.build("OpenCL") but after that usual functions such as OpenCL.devices and create_some_context are missing.. or at least undefined.

hm Pkg.checkout("OpenCL", "vc/refactor") should be enough.

After the checkout functions like OpenCL.devices(), OpenCL.platforms(), and OpenCL.create_some_context() are still undefined.

Oh sorry I misread your comment.

On the refactored branch you will have to do

using OpenCL
cl.devices()

[protogeezer]

Thanks! I’ll try it out.

Adding a small error to the examples/demo.jl (see below) results in different crashes depending on whether the problem is a warning or an error. For the version with an error:

I'm also getting this error:

ERROR (unhandled task failure): MethodError: no method matching unsafe_string(::Ptr{Void})

However strangely enough the error does not cause the algorithm to abort.

We are trying to revive the OpenCL.jl package. This issue is too old to be addressed in recent Julia versions. Closing it.
