gcc builds with GPU support? #118

Open oscarbg opened 3 months ago

oscarbg commented 3 months ago

Hi,

gcc has GPU support (amdgcn and nvptx).. but your builds support it? don't know current Win GCC GPU support status but at least some Winlibs builds tried to enable nvptx at least.. but found some issues building it, since GCC-11: https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+gpu

interested since new GCC-14 adds new AMD GPU targets to GCC up to gfx1100 RDNA3 GPUs..

so just asking if do you plan on trying to enable GPU support and possibly fix some issues found in the way (assuming minor)..

thanks..

Maybe if someday enabling it is as simple as using a configure option, it works reliably, and it doesn't cost much (e.g. bloats w64devkit, or breaks other features). It's a super-niche capability, and unimportant to a large majority of users. w64devkit is bandwidth-limited by my interests and patience, and I have neither in this case, certainly not for maintaining GCC patches. Nor the hardware on hand to test it.

Thanks for sharing the link, though. That's useful information.
