'y' is not a member of cl_float2

Hi,

I’m having a compiling issue.

cl_float2 p;
p.x = 1.0;
p.y = 1.0;

reports the error:

‘x’ is not a member of cl_float2
‘y’ is not a member of cl_float2

The same happens with cl_float4, but

p.s[0]=1.0; and p.s[1]=1.0; works fine.

Looking at cl_platform.h:

typedef union
{
cl_float  CL_ALIGNED(8) s[2];
#if defined( __GNUC__) && ! defined( __STRICT_ANSI__ )
   __extension__ struct{ cl_float  x, y; };
   __extension__ struct{ cl_float  s0, s1; };
   __extension__ struct{ cl_float  lo, hi; };
#endif
#if defined( __CL_FLOAT2__) 
    __cl_float2     v2;
#endif
}cl_float2;

the extensions are not defined. I mean, GNUC and STRICT_ANSI are not defined so it just define s[2]. Anyone knows how to solve it?

I’m working on windows 7 x64, visual studio 2008, NVIDIA CUDA SDK 3.2. The projects is compiled and linked in win32 not x64.

Any help will be apreciated. Thanks

You’re about the 5th or 6th person I’ve seen with this complaint (I being one of the others). As a workaround (since I know my code is never going to run outside of my machine), I’ve gotten rid of the if() definitions to make it work on Visual Studio.

I finally opt by another solution. I do MakeFile projects with visual studio and I compile with the gcc compiler via cygwin. This way GNUC variable is defined and the compiler launches no error.

Anyway, your solution is faster and easier.
