Fair enough. I suppose you'd need namespaces working first anyway
to get much out of those tools.
Incidentally, what's the state of DCompute stuff lately? Did the

I'm going to wait for the LLVM 7 release (very soon) and then get
things going again: testing, atomics, docs, API contracts etc.
I'll post to Announce when I've done all that. I'm still waiting
for the Khronos folks to get back to me to get the SPIRV backend
into upstream LLVM.
You're mostly interested in CUDA, right? That should be much
easier to get shipshape.
