Unable to declare vector inside SYCL_EXTERNAL function

student4 — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 04:22:05 GMT

Hi,

I have a Main file containing Main.cpp
and Library.dll file containing the following
Sample1.h and Sample1.cpp
Sample2.h and Sample2.cpp
The Main.cpp invokes the Library.dll.

Main.cpp
#include <CL/sycl.hpp>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <ext/intel/fpga_extensions.hpp>
#include<complex>
#include "../Library/Sample1.h"
#include "../Library/Sample2.h"
void test()
{
sycl::ext::intel::fpga_emulator_selector d_selector;
sycl::queue q(d_selector);
Sample1 obj1;
obj1.func1(q);
}

//************************************
// Demonstrate vector add both in sequential on CPU and in parallel on device.
//************************************
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
test();
return 0;
}

Sample1.h
#pragma once
#include <CL/sycl.hpp>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include<complex>
#include <ext/intel/fpga_extensions.hpp>

class _declspec(dllexport)Sample1
{

public:
Sample1();
~Sample1();

void func1(sycl::queue& q);

};

Sample1.cpp
#include "Sample1.h"
#include "Sample2.h"

Sample1::Sample1()
{

}

Sample1::~Sample1()
{

}

void Sample1::func1(sycl::queue& q)
{

try
{

q.submit([&](sycl::handler& h)
{

h.parallel_for(sycl::range{ 4, 2 }, [=](sycl::id<2> idx) {
Sample2 obj;
obj.func2();
});
});

q.wait_and_throw();
}

catch (sycl::exception const& e)
{
std::cout << "Caught a SYCL host exception:\n" << e.what() << "\n";
}

}

Sample2.h
#pragma once
#include <CL/sycl.hpp>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <ext/intel/fpga_extensions.hpp>
#include<complex>
class _declspec(dllexport)Sample2
{
public:

SYCL_EXTERNAL Sample2();
SYCL_EXTERNAL ~Sample2();

SYCL_EXTERNAL float func2();

};

Sample2.cpp
#include "Sample2.h"

Sample2::Sample2()
{

}

Sample2::~Sample2()
{

}

float Sample2::func2()
{
std::vector<std::complex<float>>S(3);
return 0.1f;
}

I have declared the complex float vector S. When I build this program, it throws an erro showing: SYCL kernel cannot call an undefined function without SYCL_EXTERNAL attribute
I would appreciate your help on this problem.
Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

From the above sample reproducer code, please remove the vector declaration from "float Sample2::func2()" function, because the vector allocates memory dynamically which is not supported inside the kernel.

For more information, please refer to this link:https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2F978-1-4842-5574-2.pdf DataParallel C++ book[page no:14]

Thanks & Regards,

Hemanth.
