[SYCL] Implement OpenCL kernel function generation
All SYCL memory objects shared between host and device (buffers/images, these objects map to OpenCL buffers and images) must be accessed through special accessor classes. The "device" side implementation of these classes contain pointers to the device memory. As there is no way in OpenCL to pass structures with pointers inside as kernel arguments, all memory objects shared between host and device must be passed to the kernel as raw pointers. SYCL also has a special mechanism for passing kernel arguments from host to the device. In OpenCL kernel arguments are set by calling `clSetKernelArg` function for each kernel argument, meanwhile in SYCL all the kernel arguments are fields of "SYCL kernel function" which can be defined as a lambda function or a named function object and passed as an argument to SYCL function for invoking kernels (such as `parallel_for` or `single_task`). To facilitate the mapping of SYCL kernel data members to OpenCL kernel arguments and overcome OpenCL limitations we added the generation of an OpenCL kernel function inside the compiler. An OpenCL kernel function contains the body of the SYCL kernel function, receives OpenCL-like parameters and additionally does some manipulation to initialize SYCL kernel data members with these parameters. In some pseudo code the OpenCL kernel function can look like this: ``` // SYCL kernel is defined in SYCL headers: template <typename KernelName, typename KernelType/*, ...*/> __attribute__((sycl_kernel)) void sycl_kernel_function(KernelType KernelFuncObj) { // ... KernelFuncObj(); } // Generated OpenCL kernel function __kernel KernelName(global int* a) { KernelType KernelFuncObj; // Actually kernel function object declaration // doesn't have a name in AST. // Let the kernel function object have one captured field - accessor A. // We need to init it with global pointer from arguments: KernelFuncObj.A.__init(a); // Body of the SYCL kernel from SYCL headers: { KernelFuncObj(); } } ``` OpenCL kernel function is generated by the compiler inside the Sema using AST nodes.
