Hello,

I noticed that the LDC2 compiler has an architecture target called "AMD GCN".

Is there an example code which is in D and generates a working binary of a hello world kernel.

I tried it, and just failed at the very beginning: How can I specify __kernel and __global in D?

This sounds like something Nicholas Wilson would know more about, i.e. "dcompute" with LDC (https://github.com/libmir/dcompute). I don't think dcompute supports the architecture yet though...

As mentioned by Johan, LDC in conjunction with dcompute is the closest thing.

You can use LDC to generate SPIR-V binaries with which I believe you should be able to use with the OpenCL implementation for that platform using dcompute to drive OpenCL.
