OpenCL Child Kernel Error - c++

Aloha,
I'm struggling with OpenCL child kernel feature.
Kernel SRC (Minimal example):
kernel void launcher()
{
ndrange_t ndrange = ndrange_1D(1);
enqueue_kernel(get_default_queue(), CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL, ndrange,
^{
size_t id = get_global_id(0);
}
);
}
stdafx.h:
#pragma once
#define __CL_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS
#define CL_HPP_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS
#define CL_HPP_TARGET_OPENCL_VERSION 200
#include "targetver.h"
#include <CL/cl2.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
Full SRC (Minimal):
#include "stdafx.h"
std::string kernel2_source(
"kernel void launcher() ""\n"
"{ ""\n"
" ndrange_t ndrange = ndrange_1D(1);""\n"
" enqueue_kernel(get_default_queue(), CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL, ndrange,""\n"
" ^{""\n"
" size_t id = get_global_id(0);""\n"
" }""\n"
" );""\n"
"}""\n");

}
}
std::cin.get();
return 0;
}
Output:
Num Platforms: 1
Using platform: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
Num Devices: 2
Using device: Hawaii
Building Program
=> Exception.
There appears an uncaught exception which is strange, because all build error should be caught.
The ndrange_1D(1) is just for testing purposes (and to produce an acceptable amount of dummy output).
The device (AMD R9 390X) is OpenCL 2.0 capable.
Any ideas how to fix this?
EDIT:
Even not using exceptions and using errorcodes throws this an exception!

SDL audio callback stops after two iterations

Given the following code:
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
#include <SDL2/SDL_audio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <thread>
static void SDLCallback(void *userData, Uint8 *data, int bytes) {
std::cerr << "SDLCallback: " << bytes / sizeof(float) << "\n";
}
int main() {
using namespace std::literals;
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO);
SDL_AudioDeviceID m_deviceId{};
SDL_AudioSpec m_desired, m_obtained;
m_desired.freq = 48000;
m_desired.format = AUDIO_F32SYS;
m_desired.channels = 2;
m_desired.samples = 1024;
m_desired.callback = SDLCallback;
m_desired.userdata = nullptr;
m_deviceId = SDL_OpenAudioDevice(nullptr, 0, &m_desired, &m_obtained, 0);
std::cerr << "SDL device: " << m_deviceId << std::endl;
if (m_deviceId < 2) {
std::cerr << "SDL: Couldn't open audio: " << SDL_GetError() << std::endl;
exit(1);
}
std::cerr << "rate: " << m_obtained.freq << "\n";
std::cerr << "samples: " << m_obtained.samples << "\n";
std::cerr << "bytes: " << m_obtained.size << "\n";
std::cerr << "channels: " << (int)m_obtained.channels << "\n";
SDL_PauseAudioDevice(m_deviceId, 0);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
std::this_thread::sleep_for(100ms);
std::cerr << (SDL_GetAudioDeviceStatus(m_deviceId) == SDL_AUDIO_PLAYING)
<< std::endl;
}
SDL_CloseAudioDevice(m_deviceId);
SDL_Quit();
}
I am seeing the following output:
$ ./a.out

<program gets stuck on SDL_CloseAudioDevice>
That is, the SDLCallback function is called only twice at the beginning then not anymore, yet the audio is still marked as running. I am using PulseAudio.
What can I do to prevent that ? Where is my program wrong ? It works if I kill PulseAudio, but PulseAudio works fine for all my other software.
And if it is not wrong, how can I make sure that my users will never encounter that issue ? How can I recover without getting the program stuck on SDL_CloseAudioDevice ? As PulseAudio is very common among Linux users.

Linux File Locking with fcntl and C++

I did two months search on the web for a proper file locking mechanism to be used in a C++ program.
I found a lot on "C and fnctl" which I could proof to work. But all really proper working locking mechanism, that I could proof to work in Linux are only based on file descriptors.
As this seems to be something really old fashined and in actual C++17 style of writing C++ code with file- and ip-streams not using that mechanism, I only came up with something that works with using what was presented here:
Not able to ofstream using __gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf
My Question is, is this really the only mechanism working? To connect both worlds?
I looked in all these books to find anything about fcntl and C++, but was not successful:
[Der C++ Programmierer Cxx20]
(https://www.hanser-elibrary.com/doi/book/10.3139/9783446465510)
[The C++ Programming Language] (https://www.stroustrup.com/C++.html)
[C++ Das Umfassende Handbuch]
(https://www.rheinwerk-verlag.de/c-plusplus-das-umfassende-handbuch/)
[Modern C++ Programming Cookbook Second Edition]
(https://www.packtpub.com/product/modern-c-programming-cookbook-second-edition/9781800208988)
My question to the C++ gurus here is, if I missed something, or if the following code is, today, begin of 2021 the best we could do.
Short explanation of what the code is a proof for:
We have a C++ Code which adds usernames and its LSF-processes to a conf-file, which is read by SSH-server to allow user access to that machine. As at the same time two or more running processes of this code could lead to concurrent attempts of adding or deleting users from this file could occur, we have to proof that proper file locking is preventing that. Without using an extra "access" file, which also could be a solution.
This is some example code I tested:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <ext/stdio_filebuf.h>

std::cout << "Please give input to change in the file: ";
std::cin >> input_from_user_string;
int add_1_del_2 = 0;
std::cout << "Please give 1 if you want to add to the file or 2 if you want to delete from file: ";
std::cin >> add_1_del_2;
int input_from_user_time;
std::cout << "Please give seconds to wait: ";
std::cin >> input_from_user_time;

Time recquired for OpenCL kernel deletion

I'm encountering an unexpected performance with my OpenCL code (more precisely, I use boost::compute 1.67.0). For now, I just want to add each elements of 2 buffers c[i] = a[i] + b[i].
I noticed some speed reduction in comparison of an existing SIMD implementation so I isolated each step to highlight which one is time consuming. Here is my code sample :
Chrono chrono2;
chrono2.start();
Chrono chrono;
ipReal64 elapsed;
// creating the OpenCL context and other stuff
// ...
std::string kernel_src = BOOST_COMPUTE_STRINGIZE_SOURCE(
__kernel void add_knl(__global const uchar* in1, __global const uchar* in2, __global uchar* out)
{
size_t idx = get_global_id(0);
out[idx] = in1[idx] + in2[idx];
}
);
boost::compute::program* program = new boost::compute::program;
try {
chrono.start();
*program = boost::compute::program::create_with_source(kernel_src, context);
elapsed = chrono.elapsed();
std::cout << "Create program : " << elapsed << "s" << std::endl;
chrono.start();
program->build();
elapsed = chrono.elapsed();
std::cout << "Build program : " << elapsed << "s" << std::endl;
}
catch (boost::compute::opencl_error& e) {
std::cout << "Error building program : " << std::endl << program->build_log() << std::endl << e.what() << std::endl;
return;
}
boost::compute::kernel* kernel = new boost::compute::kernel;
try {
chrono.start();
*kernel = program->create_kernel("add_knl");
elapsed = chrono.elapsed();
std::cout << "Create kernel : " << elapsed << "s" << std::endl;
}
catch (const boost::compute::opencl_error& e) {
std::cout << "Error creating kernel : " << std::endl << e.what() << std::endl;
return;
}
try {
chrono.start();
// Pass the argument to the kernel
kernel->set_arg(0, bufIn1);
kernel->set_arg(1, bufIn2);
kernel->set_arg(2, bufOut);
elapsed = chrono.elapsed();
std::cout << "Set args : " << elapsed << "s" << std::endl;
}
catch (const boost::compute::opencl_error& e) {
std::cout << "Error setting kernel arguments: " << std::endl << e.what() << std::endl;
return;
}
try {
chrono.start();
queue.enqueue_1d_range_kernel(*kernel, 0, sizeX*sizeY, 0);
elapsed = chrono.elapsed();
std::cout << "Kernel calculation : " << elapsed << "s" << std::endl;
}
catch (const boost::compute::opencl_error& e) {
std::cout << "Error executing kernel : " << std::endl << e.what() << std::endl;
return;
}
std::cout << "[Function] Full duration " << chrono2.elapsed() << std::endl;
chrono.start();
delete program;
elapsed = chrono.elapsed();
std::cout << "Delete program : " << elapsed << "s" << std::endl;
delete kernel;
elapsed = chrono.elapsed();
std::cout << "Delete kernel : " << elapsed << "s" << std::endl;
And here is a sample of result (I run my program on a NVidia GeForce GT 630, with NVidia SDK TookKit) :
Create program : 0.0013123s
Build program : 0.0015421s
Create kernel : 6.6e-06s
Set args : 1.7e-06s
Kernel calculation : 0.0001639s
[Function] Full duration : 0.0077794
Delete program : 4.1e-06s
Delete kernel : 0.0879901s
I know my program is simple and I don't expect having the kernel execution being the most time consumming step. However, I thought the kernel deletion would take only a few ms, such as creating or building the program.
Is this a normal behaviour?
Thanks
I'll point out that I've never used boost::compute, but it looks like it's a fairly thin wrapper over OpenCL, so the following should be correct:
Enqueueing the kernel does not wait for it to complete. The enqueue function returns an event, which you can then wait for, or you can wait for all tasks enqueued onto the queue to complete. You are timing neither of those things. What is likely happening is that when you destroy your kernel, it waits for all queued instances which are still pending to complete before returning from the destructor.

termios settings on USB modem serial get ignored

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and try to read AT commands from a modem. I need to do some changes to the serial interface to properly communicate these commands. However, if I try setting the baudrate, it stays the same. I use the following code:
#include <iostream>
#include <exception>

speed_t test_speeds [] = {B38400, B115200, B230400};
for (int i = 0; i < (sizeof(test_speeds) / sizeof(speed_t)); i++) {
cout << "setting speeds to " << test_speeds[i] << endl;
set_speeds(device_fd, test_speeds[i], test_speeds[i]);
get_speeds(device_fd, ispeed, ospeed);

}
int chars_written;
// writing/reading
chars_written = write(device_fd, "AT\r", 3);
cout << "written " << chars_written << " chars" << endl;
char read_buf [16];
int chars_read = read(device_fd, read_buf, sizeof(read_buf));

}
close(device_fd);
}
If I execute this, I get the following output:
B9600 speed: 13
B38400 speed: 15
B115200 speed: 4098
B230400 speed: 4099

setting speeds to 4098
current i speed: 13
current o speed: 13
setting speeds to 4099
current i speed: 13
current o speed: 13
written 3 chars
...
It seems like the baudrate hasn't changed. Why is this? Did I miss something? Thanks for help. Let me know if there's something which needs to be clarified, please!
If you consider down rating my question, please also leave a comment why, so I can improve my question or learn for the future. Thanks.
