I think I got this straight now. For nvidia to honor #pragma unroll
directives in OpenCL, you need to add this once (near top) too:
#pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_nv_pragma_unroll : enable
The crux is that this will make eg. the AMD compiler to not only warn
(like Intel), but crash and burn. Wat! But here is the solution
according to nvcc docs:
#ifdef __CUDACC__
#pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_nv_pragma_unroll : enable
#endif
BTW, AMD do support pragma unroll without any special extension lines,
and it even confirms it in the compiler log. Apparently Intel do not
support pragma unroll at all.
In my upcoming RAR format, the manual unrolls are not very extreme so I
will probably keep them. The most important one will never be unrolled
that well by a pragma anyway - it's 10 unrolls and then an unroll factor
of 2.
