- pjmlp 7y agoOpenCL only adopted C++ when it was clear that had lost to CUDA and some love was required, thus going over OpenCL 2.0, 2.1, initial introduction of SPIR and now SYSCL. Incidentally most OpenCL drivers still aren't properly 2.0 compliant, and the best way is to get something like computecpp, the SYSCL implementation being done by CodePlay.
