@wedjat The llvmlite 0.29 is now in the repos, as is newer rocm-opencl-devel, so I've decided to give it a try. I've also run into the segfault, do not have a solution - roctools does not seem to be updated by the numba team currently. I've uploaded the current PKGBUILD for anyone wanting to give debugging a try - please submit if successful.
Update: ROCTOOLS issue opened on GitHub: https://github.com/numba/roctools/issues/4
Numba developers updated numba to llvm 8.0.x
I've finally had time to test it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it working on my computer. I tried building it with either llvm 8.0.0 and python-llvmlite-git or with llvm7 7.0.1, llvm7-libs 7.0.1 and python-llvmlite 0.28.0. In both cases I got the same error - segmentation fault during ./test_rocmlite_functions. I tried ignoring it, but then numba was clearly not working with ROCm (tried using some @roc.jit and @vectorize(target='roc') examples from numba webpage). Except for that numba seems to work well (tested mainly with lvm 8.0.0 and python-llvmlite-git). Can I build it any other way to make it working?
Thanks for making the package! For some time I've been wanting to make numba working with ROC, but I didn't know which components of ROCm platform are needed to do so. I understand that it is currently working with rocr-runtime as its only dependency, isn't it?
I have not updated the package so far as I am waiting to see if the numba team will update the whole thing to LLVM8 anyway and I can drop the patches I had made.
If you want to modify and test the PKGBUILD to work with llvm7 package from repository - you are welcome to submit a patch here.
