Committed now, for ssha format only (and platform/device, they work for
any format). I bought Frank's suggestion, so the section is called
[Options:OpenCL].
Command line will override conf for platform/device, and environment
will override conf for LWS/KPC.
Pretty trivial, right?
I'm not sure how to treat CUDA. It currently shares the -device command
line option, but it does not share this device config. Maybe they should
be totally separate options (so -device is for OpenCL and -gpu is for
CUDA). But I'd like to avoid that. Maybe they can share the command line
option but use different sections in john.conf. I think that is best.
Open question btw: Should we keep the separate CUDA build or should we
just have an OpenCL-only build and a CUDA build that implicitly enables
OpenCL? I know of no reason to build CUDA but not OpenCL, and dropping
the non-OpenCL CUDA target would make things a little easier. We
currently have blocks like this:
#if defined(CL_VERSION_1_0) && defined(HAVE_CUDA)
#define JOHN_USAGE_GPU \
"--platform=N (or =LIST) set OpenCL platform, default 0\n" \
"--device=N set OpenCL or CUDA device, default 0\n"
#elif defined(CL_VERSION_1_0)
#define JOHN_USAGE_GPU \
"--platform=N (or =LIST) set OpenCL platform, default 0\n" \
"--device=N set OpenCL device, default 0\n"
#elif defined (HAVE_CUDA)
#define JOHN_USAGE_GPU \
"--device=N set CUDA device, default 0\n"
#endif
