SegFault in 'PrepareKernelArgs' caused by function call within __kernel

Hi,

I have encountered an issue compiling my OpenCL kernel using the Intel CPU-only runtime (v16.1.1) on RHEL 7 (x64).

I've created a MWE in a github gist here

(using pyopencl to compile / setup args, etc.)

Essentially, if my kernel "testkernel" calls the "bad" subkernel (defined as a __kernel function with required work group size), I get this segfault. If I change the kernel definition to the "good" subkernel (a simple "void" function call) it compiles and runs correctly. However, the OpenCL standard seems to imply the two should be identical:

>The __kernel (or kernel) qualifier declares a function to be a kernel that can be executed by an application on an OpenCL device(s). The following rules apply to functions that are declared with this qualifier:

>It is just a regular function call if a __kernel function is called by another kernel function.

In any case, it probably shouldn't be giving me segfaults!

Thanks,

p.s. any update on a new release of the CPU-only runtime?? It would be nice to get some of the bugfixes applied (and even better to try out OCL 2.0+)

Has this bug been logged by any chance? It's been ~a month of no response :/
