# June'20 release notes

Release notes for the commit range ba404be..24726df

## New features
- Added switch to assume that each amount of work-items in each ND-range
dimension if less that 2G (fits in signed integer), which allows underlying
BEs to perform additional optimizations [fdcaeae] [08f8656]
- Added partial support for [Host task with interop capabilities extension](https://github.com/codeplaysoftware/standards-proposals/blob/master/host_task/host_task.md) [ae3fd5c]
- Added support for [SYCL_INTEL_bitcast](doc/extensions/Bitcast/SYCL_INTEL_bitcast.asciidoc)
as a `sycl::detail::bit_cast` [e3da4ef]
- Introduced the Level Zero plugin which enables SYCL working on top of Level0
API. Interoperability is not supportet yet [d32da99]
- Implemented [parallel_for simplification extension](doc/extensions/ParallelForSimpification) [13fe9fb]
- Implemented [SYCL_INTEL_enqueue_barrier extension](doc/extensions/EnqueueBarrier/enqueue_barrier.asciidoc) [da6bfd0]
- Implemented [SYCL_INTEL_accessor_simplification extension](https://github.com/intel/llvm/pull/1498) [1f76efc]
- Implemented OpenCL interoperability API following [SYCL Generalization proposal](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SYCL-Shared/blob/master/proposals/sycl_generalization.md) [bae0639]

## Improvements
### SYCL Frontend and driver changes
- Now when `-fintelfpga` option is passed, the dependency file is created in
the temporary files location instead of input source file location [7df381a]
- Made `-std=c++17` the default for DPC++ [3192ee7]
- Added support for kernel name types templated using enumerations
[e7020a1][f9226d2][125b05c][07e8d8f]
- Added a diagnostic on attempt to use host built-in functions inside device
code [2a4c1c8]
- Added diagnostics on attempt to use `sycl::accessor` created for
unsupported types in the device code [6da42a0]
- Aligned `sizeof(long double)` between host and device code [87e6240]
- The pragma spelling for SYCL-specific attributes except
`cl::reqd_work_group_size` are rejected now [8fe2846]
- Added template parameter support for `cl::intel_reqd_sub_group_size`
attribute [0ae9729]
- Added support for more math builtins for PTX target [9370549]
- Added support for struct members and pointers in `intelfpga::ivdep`
attribute [358ec04]
- Added support for all builtins from integer and shared categories for PTX
target [f0a4fe2]
- Improved handling of linker inputs for static lib processing [ed2846f]
- Dependency files are not generated by default when compiling using
`-fsycl -fintelfpga` options now [24726df]

### SYCL headers and runtime
- Updated the implementation to align with changes in
[SubGroup extension](doc/extensions/SubGroup/SYCL_INTEL_sub_group.asciidoc) [9d4c284]
- `sycl::ordered_queue` class has been removed [875347a]
- Added support of rounding modes for floating and integer types in
`sycl::vec::convert` [096d0a0]
- Added support for USM vars and placeholder accessors passed to reduction
version of `sycl::handler::parallel_for` [94cb022][2e73da7]
- Added support of `sycl::intel::sub_group::load/store` which take
`sycl::multi_ptr` with `sycl::access::address_space::local_space` [0f5b55b]
- Added a diagnostic on attempt to recompile an AOT compiled program using
`sycl::program` API [b031186]
- Started using custom CUDA context by default as it shows better performance
results [9d45ead]
- Prevented NVIDIA OpenCL platform to be selected by a SYCL application
[7146426]
- Adjusted the diagnostic message on attempt to use local size which is
greater than global size to be more informative [894c10d]
- Added a cache for PI plugins, so subsequent calls for `sycl::device`
creation should be cheaper [03dd60d]
- A SYCL program will be aborted now if program linking is requested when
using L0 plugin. This is done because L0 doesn't support program linking
[d4a5b71]
- Added a diagnostic on attempt to use `sycl::program::set_spec_constant` when
the program is already in compiled or linked state [e2e3d3d]
- Improved `sycl::stream` class implementation on the device side in order to
reduce local memory consumption [b838f0e]

### Documentation
- Added [a table](doc/extensions/README.md) with DPC++ extensions statuses
[dbbc474]
- OpenCL CPU runtime installation instructions in
[GetStartedGuide](doc/GetStartedGuide.md) and the installation script have
been improved [9aa5029]
- The [SYCL_INTEL_sub_group extension document](doc/extensions/SubGroup/SYCL_INTEL_sub_group.asciidoc)
has been updated [010f112]
- Render user API classes on a dedicated page [98b6ee4]

## Bug fixes
### SYCL Frontend and driver changes
- Fixed device code compile options passing which could lead to
`CL_INVALID_COMPILER_OPTIONS` error [57bad9e]
- Fixed a problem which caused problems with creating a queue for FPGA device
as a global inline variable [357e9c8]
- Fixed an issue with that functions which are marked with `SYCL_EXTERNAL` are
not participate in attribute propogation and conflicting attributes checking
[0098eab]
- Fixed an issue which could lead to problems when a kernel name contains a
CVR qualified type [62e2f3b]
- Fixed file processing when using `-fsycl-link`, now the generated object
file can be linked by a non-SYCL enabled compiler/linker [2623abe]

### SYCL headers and runtime
- Fixed an issue with map/unmap events which caused problems with read only
buffer accessors in CUDA backend [bf1b5b6]
- Fixed errors happened when using `sycl::handler::copy` with `const void*`,
`void*` or a `sycl::accessor` for a type with const qualifier [ddc0c9d]
- Fixed an issue with copying memory to itself during `sycl::buffer` copyback
[4bf22cc]
- Fixed a possible deadlock which could happen when simultaneously submitting
and waiting for kernels from multiple threads on Windows [ebace77]
- Fixed a problem which caused device with a negative score to be still
selected [7146426][855d214]
- Fixed memleak which happened when using `sycl::program::get_kernel`
[ccefc93]
- Fixed memory copy being wrongly asynchronous which could cause data races
on CUDA backend [4f0a3df]
- Fixed a race which could happen when waiting for the same event from
multiple threads [5737ad9]
- Fixed errors which happened when using `half` or `double` types in reduction
version of `sycl::handler::parallel_for`
- Fixed `sycl::device::get_info<sycl::info::device::mem_base_addr_align>`
query which was returning incorrect result for CUDA plugin [a6d03f3]
- Fixed incorrect behavior of a `sycl::buffer` created with non-writable host
data(e.g. `const int *`) on CUDA backend [49b6223]
- A bunch of fixes to reduction version of `sycl::handler::parallel_for`:
- Enabled `operator*`, `operator+`, `operator|`, `operator&`, `operator^=`
for corresponding transparent functors used in reduction
- Fixed the case when reduction object is passed as an R-value
- Allowed identity-less constructors for reductions with transparent
functors
- Replaced some `auto` declarations with Reduction::result_type and added
intermediate assignments/casts to avoid type ambiguities caused by using
`sycl::half` type, and which may also be caused by custom/user types as
well
- Fixed compile time known identity values for `MIN` and `MAX` reductions

## API/ABI breakages
- All functions related to `sycl::ordered_queue` have been removed
- Removed symbols corresponding to
`sycl::info::kernel_sub_group::max_sub_group_size_for_ndrange` and
`sycl::info::kernel_sub_group::sub_group_count_for_ndrange` queries

## Known issues
- [new] If there is an attribute `cl::intel_reqd_sub_group_size` with the
same value for kernel and function called from the kernel there still can be
compilation error.
- The format of the object files produced by the compiler can change between
versions. The workaround is to rebuild the application.
- The SYCL library doesn't guarantee stable API/ABI, so applications compiled
with older version of the SYCL library may not work with new one.
The workaround is to rebuild the application.
[ABI policy guide](doc/ABIPolicyGuide.md)
- Using `cl::sycl::program` API to refer to a kernel defined in another
translation unit leads to undefined behavior
- Linkage errors with the following message:
`error LNK2005: "bool const std::_Is_integral<bool>" (??$_Is_integral@_N@std@@3_NB) already defined`
can happen when a SYCL application is built using MS Visual Studio 2019
version below 16.3.0
The workaround is to enable `-std=c++17` for the failing MSVC version.
