<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
The <code class="code">__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint))</code>
and <code class="code">__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(n)))</code>
attribute qualifiers can be used to specify that a loop
(<code class="code">for</code>, <code class="code">while</code> and <code class="code">do</code> loops)
can be unrolled. This attribute qualifier can be
used to specify full unrolling or partial unrolling
by a specified amount. This is a compiler hint
and the compiler may ignore this directive.
</p>
<p>
<code class="code">n</code> is the loop unrolling factor and must
be a positive integral compile time constant expression.
An unroll factor of 1 disables unrolling. If
<code class="code">n</code> is not specified, the compiler determines the
unrolling factor for the loop.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: The <code class="code">__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(n)))</code>
attribute qualifier must
appear immediately before the loop to be affected.
</p>

<h3>
Examples
</h3>
<div class="informaltable">
<table border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left">
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(2)))
while (*s != 0)
*p++ = *s++;
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
This tells the compiler to unroll the above while loop by a factor of 2.
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left">
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint))
for (int i=0; i&lt;2; i++)
{
}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
In the example above, the compiler will determine how much to unroll the loop.
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left">
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(1)))
for (int i=0; i&lt;32; i++)
{
}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
The above is an example where the loop should not be unrolled.
</p>
<p>
Below are some examples of invalid usage of
<code class="code">__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(n)))</code>.
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left">
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(-1)))
while (…)
{
}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
The above example is an invalid usage of the loop unroll
factor as the loop unroll factor is negative.
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left">
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint))
if (…)
{
}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
The above example is invalid because the unroll
attribute qualifier is used on a non-loop
construct.
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table border="0">
<colgroup>
<col align="left" class="col1" />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left">
kernel void
my_kernel( … )
{
int x;
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(x))
for (int i=0; i&lt;x; i++)
{
}
}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
The above example is invalid because the loop unroll
factor is not a compile-time constant expression.
