- Initialization of objects in `__constant` address spaces is not guaranteed to work.
- `addrspace_cast` operator is not supported.

+
+C++ libraries for OpenCL
+------------------------
+
+There is ongoing work to support C++ standard libraries from `LLVM's libcxx
+<https://libcxx.llvm.org/>`_ in OpenCL kernel code using C++ for OpenCL mode.
+
+It is currently possible to include `type_traits` from C++17 in the kernel
+sources when the following clang extensions are enabled
+``__cl_clang_function_pointers`` and ``__cl_clang_variadic_functions``,
+see :doc:`LanguageExtensions` for more details. The use of non-conformant
+features enabled by the extensions does not expose non-conformant behavior
+beyond the compilation i.e. does not get generated in IR or binary.
+The extension only appear in metaprogramming
+mechanism to identify or verify the properties of types. This allows to provide
+the full C++ functionality without a loss of portability. To avoid unsafe use
+of the extensions it is recommended that the extensions are disabled directly
+after the header include.
+
+**Example of Use**:
+
+The example of kernel code with `type_traits` is illustrated here.
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ #pragma OPENCL EXTENSION __cl_clang_function_pointers : enable
+ #pragma OPENCL EXTENSION __cl_clang_variadic_functions : enable
+ #include <type_traits>
+ #pragma OPENCL EXTENSION __cl_clang_function_pointers : disable
+ #pragma OPENCL EXTENSION __cl_clang_variadic_functions : disable
+
+ using sint_type = std::make_signed<unsigned int>::type;
+
+ __kernel void foo() {
+ static_assert(!std::is_same<sint_type, unsigned int>::value);
+ }
+
+The possible clang invocation to compile the example is as follows:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $ clang -cl-std=clc++ -I<path to libcxx checkout or installation>/include test.cl
+
+Note that `type_traits` is a header only library and therefore no extra
+linking step against the standard libraries is required.
