Build error -11, but no code output for bug hints

Hallo Everybode,
I use the OpenCL cpp wrapper and I get build error -11, when I want to build the kernel code. From former tries, the kernel code must be OK. In different methods of a class I have the following commands:

method 1:

 cl::Program::Sources source_init;
  source_init.push_back({sourceCode_init.c_str(),sourceCode_init.length()});

method 2:

  try{
    program_init.build(devices);
  }
   catch(cl::Error error){
     std::string buildlog;
     program_init.getBuildInfo(devices[run_struct.device], (cl_program_build_info)CL_PROGRAM_BUILD_LOG, &buildlog );
     std::cout<<"initRunKernel()"<<buildlog<<std::endl;
      std::cout<<error.what()<<"("<<error.err()<<")"<<std::endl;
   }

program_init, devices are class variables. The std::string sourceCode_init is OK. But with this Error catch, there is no hint, what is wrong with the code.

I tried the precompiler OpenCl version in many variants:

#define CL_VERSION_3_0
#define CL_HPP_TARGET_OPENCL_VERSION 300
#define CL_HPP_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS

What can I do? All was working for me once. Some OpenCL updates between and nothing works anymore. Also a test code for vector addition is not working anymore. I also did this:

sudo nvidia-modprobe

on the bash before.

Kind regards,
Tobias

The program clinfo gives the following output on bash:

Ok, so NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M with 470.182.03 NVIDIA drivers on Linux.

Until you know what’s causing this, I wouldn’t assume that.

  • From CL/cl.h:
    #define CL_BUILD_PROGRAM_FAILURE                    -11
    
  • OpenCL 3.0 API Spec

Have you searched for other posts where folks are getting this?

Also potentially useful:

Sounds like CL_BUILD_PROGRAM_FAILURE is roughly the equivalent of an internal compiler error. This might be instigated by your kernel source being incorrect.

Some things to check:

  • Update to the latest graphics drivers (from the NVIDIA download site, looks like you’ve got the latest for that GeForce GT 730)
  • Independently verify that the CL kernel source you’re providing is valid (use another compiler that’ll give you better syntax error reporting).
  • Check to verify that you’re not using any features in your kernel that are unsupported by your GPU+drivers.
  • “Try commenting the code of the kernel and seeing if compile. If it happens, there is a kernel code error, with CL_PROGRAM_BUILD_STATUS flag in clGetProgramBuildInfo you can check where is the problem.” (from @santtt)
  • Post your kernel source. Someone here might be able to spot the error that your OpenCL compiler can’t.

Hallo Dark_Photon,

I installed bumblebee, I updated the Nvidia drivers and I changed to Wayland instead of X Server. Now I get some error hints to build error -11. I have no idea what brings this effect now. But I can debug my kernels (-:

Kind regards,
Tobias
