Not an issue but a question due to lack of docs. #364

Hello there, is it possible to use this as a means to compile .h and .cpp HIP code on windows for creating GPU shader kernels? fatbins and cubins. I mean from pre-existing code to define the shaders.

The simplest way to explain it is Windows has no means to compile HIP c++ as far as I know, perhaps hiprtc workarounds, make some magic with oneAPI but so far this has looked the most promising.

If I could feed it amdhip64.dll in WSL and ask it to compile .cpp with provided headers and return fatbin to compile a renderer then I would be awestruck

Yes, this is exactly how it works at present. But it is not designed to directly compile HIP code written in tensorflow/torch.
