Why doesn't OpenCL allow goto or recursion?

Name: Anonymous 2016-01-15 23:00

Or why does it exist in the first place considering that C is supposed (and technically can) run on almost everything. Is it just laziness on their part?

And why would OpenCL and GLSL be a different languages?

You obviously don't know anything about GPUs.

OpenCL has goto.

What does this have anything to do with the thread, >>5-chan?

The latest OpenCL 2.1 and SPIR-V specs support recursion and goto. Vulkan will also support it.

Unfortunately, you likely aren't going to see widespread support for this on older hardware, only GPUs released in the last year and later.

I can't see why, considering that it is trivial to implement these in your own code.
