In the full-rdc mode they would, as if it's a plain C++ compilation. In partial they would not as the main GPU executable and the partial parts will be in separate executables.
This would be OK for something like CUDA where cross-TU references are usually limited to host, but would be surprising for someone who would expect C++-like behavior, which sort of the ultimate goal for offloading use case. This will eventually become a problem if/when we grow large enough subset of independent offload-enabled libraries. The top-level user will have a hard time figuring out what's visible and what is not, unless the libraries deliberately expose only host-level APIs, if/when they fully link GPU side code. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/80066 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
