Even if ulong in host code somehow works on your system it's definitely
not portable. Even changing it to "unsigned long" isn't.

All OpenCL functions has to be either static, inline or __kernel. Simple
as that. The warnings for comparing signed with unsigned are silly but
they need to be fixed anyway since we can't mute them - and in fact they
sometimes do reveal bugs that are hard to spot.
BTW I gave you the advice long ago to always use unsigned for everything
which doesn't actually need to be signed (in kernels). It's faster and
you'll avoid most problems like this (if you get this warning then, it's
more likely to actually reveal a real bug).
