Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Trying to compile a simple SYCL application produces the following warning when -fsycl
flag is omitted:
$ clang++ vector_add.cpp
vector_add.cpp:2:10: fatal error: 'sycl/sycl.hpp' file not found
2 | #include <sycl/sycl.hpp>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
The natural reaction to a missing header is adding -I
/-isystem
flag, which is not the correct action here.
Describe the solution you would like
A more helpful warning along the lines of:
$ clang++ vector_add.cpp
vector_add.cpp:2:10: fatal error: 'sycl/sycl.hpp' file not found; use -fsycl flag when compiling SYCL sources
Describe alternatives you have considered
- Leave things as they are; that's user error, they should pay more attention.
- Emit a warning whenever
sycl/sycl.hpp
is included and-fsycl
is not used, even if the file itself is found (e.g., because-I/opt/intel/oneapi/2024.0/include/
was set).
