The problem with using
std::array
insycl::vec
is that we cannot compile it in some environments (namely, Windows) because the former may use something that is illegal in SYCL device code.#17025 fixed that, but only did so under preview breaking changes mode, which does not satisfy some of our customers immediately.
This PR introduces two main changes:
-D__SYCL_USE_NEW_VEC_IMPL=1
macro without using-fpreview-breaking-changes
flag. That allows for a more gradual opt-in from customers who are interested in this fixstd::array
- in that case their memory layout is expected to be absolutely the same and therefore it should be safe to use the new approach without fear of some ABI incompatibilities. This allows for customers to benefit from the fix without specifying any extra macro (which should be the case for the most common platforms out there)This is a cherry-pick of #17656
