How to emit SPIRV and how to emit LLVM?

[seanbaxter]

--emit-llvm doesn't work in dcpp. Don't understand why. Also, how do I emit the SPIRV module to file instead of linking it to the .o?

Hi, I usually use:
clang++ -fsycl -fsycl-device-only test.cpp - to emit .bc file
and
clang++ -fsycl -fsycl-device-only -fno-sycl-use-bitcode test.cpp to emit .spv file

I'm unsure, if -fno-sycl-use-bitcode option works with dpcpp, so in this case I would suggest:
dpcpp -fsycl-device-only test.cpp - this alone will emit .bc file
llvm-spirv --spirv-ext=+all test.bc - this will translate it to .spv file

and llvm-dis / llvm-spirv --to-text are used to emit test formats for IR and SPV

When I invoke clang++ directly I get "kernel name is missing" errors. When I use dpcpp with these commands, it does generate a .spv, but it's broken:

sean@zenbook:~/mandelbrot/src$ dpcpp -fsycl -fsycl-device-only main.cpp

This is the mandelbrot test that ships with oneAPI. llvm-spirv --to-text does produce a form of disassembly, but I'm hoping to use the regular SPIRV-Tools with this.

I see. dpcpp binary includes several extensions. Addition of -fsycl-unnamed-lambda to clang++ shall work.

but I'm hoping to use the regular SPIRV-Tools with this

KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers#176 and KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers#177 are addressing this problem, when they merged - this capability will become known for SPIR-V tools.
