Vector Addressing Equivalences

Numeric indices are preceded by the letter s or S, e.g.: s1. Swizzling, duplication, and nesting are allowed, e.g.: v.yx, v.xx, v.lo.x

  1. When using .lo or .hi with a 3-component vector, the .w component is undefined.

Operators and Qualifiers

Operators

These operators behave similarly as in C99 except that operands may include vector types when possible:

+ - * % / -- ++ == != &
~ ^ > < >= <= | ! && ||
?: >> << = , op= sizeof

Address Space Qualifiers

  • __global, global
  • __constant, constant
  • __local, local
  • __private, private

Function Qualifiers

  • __kernel, kernel
  • __attribute__((vec_type_hint(type))) //type defaults to int
  • __attribute__((work_group_size_hint(X, Y, Z)))
  • __attribute__((reqd_work_group_size(X, Y, Z)))

Specify Type Attributes

Use to specify special attributes of enum, struct and union types

  • __attribute__((aligned(n)))
  • __attribute__((aligned))
  • __attribute__((packed))
  • __attribute__((endian(host)))
  • __attribute__((endian(device)))
  • __attribute__((endian))

Math Constants

The values of the following symbolic constants are type float, accurate within the precision of a single precision floating-point number.

MAXFLOAT Value of maximum noninfinite single-precision floating-point number.
HUGE_VALF Positive float expression, evaluates to +infinity.
HUGE_VAL Positive double expression, evals. to +infinity. OPTIONAL
INFINITY Constant float expression, positive or unsigned infinity.
NAN Constant float expression, quiet NaN.

When double is supported, macros ending in _F are available in type double by removing _F from the macro name, and in type half when the half extension is enabled by replacing _F with _H.

M_E_F Value of e
M_LOG2E_F Value of log2e
M_LOG10E_F Value of log10e
M_LN2_F Value of loge2
M_LN10_F Value of loge10
M_PI_F Value of π
M_PI_2_F Value of π / 2
M_PI_4_F Value of π / 4
M_1_PI_F Value of 1 / π
M_2_PI_F Value of 2 / π
M_2_SQRTPI_F Value of 2 / √π
M_SQRT2_F Value of √2
M_SQRT1_2_F Value of 1 / √2
