When compiling the following snippet the offline compiler does not complain:
The AMD compiler emits an error:
[cpp]__kernel void T6_f_15_355 () { __local int x = 5 ; x = 0; return; }[/cpp]According to the OpenCL 1.1 spec (6.5.2), a local variable cannot be initialized.
The AMD compiler emits an error:
[plain]Line 2: error: variable "x" may not be initialized __local int x =1 ; ^ 1 error detected.Moreover, local variables should only be defined at kernel function scope. The following code should thus also be rejected:
[/plain]
[cpp]__kernel void T6_f_15_355 (int x) { if(x < 3) { __local int y ; y = 0; } }[/cpp]But all OpenCL compilers seem to accept it without complaining.

Hello Phillippe,
Thanks for your post, I'll open a bug report on this issue, and we'll add these restrictions to one of our future versions.
Thanks
