Scala Kernels can't handle branching

[yuvaldeg]

It seems like any code resulting in branching (if, for, while, etc...) will fail to generate. If I avoid any branches, everything works completely fine and runs on my Mac's Radeon GPU.

Consider this simple example:

  @Test
  def failingCodeGen2(): Unit = {
    val size: Int = 500000
    val a: Array[Int] = (2 until size + 2).toArray

    val kernel = new Kernel() {
      override def run() {
        val gid = getGlobalId()
        val num = a(gid)
        var test = 1
        if (num % 2 == 0) {
          test = 2
        }
      }
    }
    kernel.execute(size)
    assert(kernel.getExecutionMode == EXECUTION_MODE.GPU)
  }

This code fails with:

Not all code structures are supported and scala is a bit less mature than java. Added as a to-do feature to look into
