I have the exact same experience. Like I wrote the #ifdef is per the
OpenCL spec, so the problem is now more of a weirdness with nvidia that
will hopefully be fixed with later drivers. The weird thing is that if
you google it, many people seem to use pragma unroll without problems.
I really hope next versions of everything (Intel, AMD, nvidia) will fix
a load of silly little issues like this. OpenCL is very immature. Maybe
we should make some noise at their respective support forums but I just
don't have the inspiration.
Anyway, Most of RAR is manually unrolled where needed.
