Support for inverted logic for ALPAKA_BACKENDS #93

Closed smuzaffar closed 1 year ago

smuzaffar commented 1 year ago

See https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/pull/40792#issuecomment-1433753092 i.e.

<flags ALPAKA_BACKENDS="cuda rocm"/> works. For longer term, I'm wondering would it be feasible
to add a possibility for an inverted logic, i.e. "all backends except the listed ones"? Although we should
re-think the relation of "platform" concept in DataFormats  (and ESProducers(?) and Services) and 
"backend" concept in EDModules, and the impact of that for the library organization and build
rules anyway, so I'm not if this detail is worth of addressing before the outcome of the
platform-backend thought process.
