C++ Language Changes in Clang
-----------------------------
+- Support of address space attribute in various C++ features was improved, refer
+ to :ref:`C++ for OpenCL <openclcpp>` for more details). The following features
+ deviated from OpenCL:
+
+ (1) address spaces as method qualifiers are not accepted yet;
+
+ (2) There is no address space deduction.

-OpenCL C Language Changes in Clang
-----------------------------------
+OpenCL Kernel Language Changes in Clang
+---------------------------------------
+
+OpenCL C
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- Enabled use of variadic macro as a Clang extension.
+
+- Added initial support for implicitly including OpenCL BIFs using
+ efficient trie lookup generated by TableGen. A corresponding
+ frontend only flag ``-fadd-opencl-builtins`` has been added to
+ enable trie during parsing.
+
+- Refactored header file to be used for common parts between
+ regular header and TableGen trie.
+
+- Improved string formatting diagnostics in printf for vector types.
+
+- Simplified representation of blocks including their generation in
+ IR i.e. indirect calls to block function has been changed to
+ direct function calls.
+
+- Added diagnostics for conversions of nested pointers with
+ different address spaces.
+
+- Added ``cl_arm_integer_dot_product`` extension.
+
+- Fixed global samplers in OpenCL v2.0.
+
+- Improved math builtin function of long long for x86.
+
+.. _openclcpp:
+
+C++ for OpenCL
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Full experimental support for C++17 features in OpenCL has been
+added and backwards compatibility to OpenCL C v2.0 was enabled.
+The documentation has been added for supported language features
+into :doc:`LanguageExtensions` and :doc:`UsersManual`.
+
+Implemented features are:
+- Address space behavior is improved in majority of C++ features:
+
+- Templates parameters and arguments
+
+ - Reference types;
+
+ - Type deduction;
+
+ - Objects and member functions including special member
+ functions;
+
+ - Builtin operators;
+
+ - Method qualifiers are allowed with address spaces;
+
+ - Address space deduction has been extended for C++ use cases;
+
+ - Improved overload ranking rules.
+
+ - Cast operators are now preventing to converting address
+ spaces. They can still be cast using C style cast.
+
+- Vector types as in OpenCL C including compound vector
+ initialization.
+
+- OpenCL specific type: images, samplers, events, pipes, except
+ for blocks.
+
+- OpenCL standard header in Clang can be compiled in C++ mode.
+
+- Global constructor stab is made an executable kernel to allow
+ invoking it from the host side.
+
+- Overloads with generic address space are added to all atomics
+ including the ones from prior to OpenCL v2.0.
