`char*` doesn't work
while testing some OpenCL examples, i found out that char*
is not working on my system (Raspberry Pi 5).
code from hello_world.cl
/**
* This kernel function only fills a buffer with the sentence 'Hello World!'.
**/
__kernel void helloWorld(__global char* data){
data[0] = 'H';
data[1] = 'e';
data[2] = 'l';
data[3] = 'l';
data[4] = 'o';
data[5] = ' ';
data[6] = 'W';
data[7] = 'o';
data[8] = 'r';
data[9] = 'l';
data[10] = 'd';
data[11] = '!';
data[12] = '\n';
data[13] = 0;
}
it generates the following error
error: 28: Structure id 10 decorated as Block for variable in StorageBuffer storage class must follow relaxed storage buffer layout rules: member 0 contains an array with stride 1 not satisfying alignment to 4
%_struct_10 = OpTypeStruct %_runtimearr_uint

changing __global char*
type to __global int*
resolves the issue.
