OpenCL Compilation Tool

I wrote a simple OpenCL compiler interface tool, partially to sink my teeth into OpenCL, partially because I wanted it. Also it seems I'm one of the few who's tackling OpenCL from a pure C angle, so this code may be useful to other folks going down that path.

It should be noted, that there is already a tool that does this, clcc, which supports... well... options. All of them it seems. It's written in C++, uses Boost, etc. I encourage folks to use that one instead of mine, it's much better. But if you're a fan of KISS, then you might want to check out mine. But clcc is better. On with the show...

Invoking it displays it's usage...

OpenCL Compiler Test Tool

USAGE:
        ocl
                display arguments and devices
        ocl filename
                compile filename with first device
        ocl N filename
                compile filename with Nth device

The Device list is...
-----------------------
AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
   0    ATI RV770
   1    ATI RV770
   2    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8600  @ 3.33GHz
Intel(R) OpenCL
   3    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8600  @ 3.33GHz

If compilation works, it tells you how many bytes the binary is. If it fails, it outputs the compiler messages. That's it. It's a single C file, the linked archive includes a Makefile for Mingw, and a binary for windows. It's so simple you should have *no* problems building it on anything. Compiles with gcc and clang with -Wall with no warnings. What more could you want? Features? Use clcc.
