Description Andrey 2011-01-16 19:30:59 PST

cl_float4 VS;  VS.x=1.0f; 

it gives an error C2039: 'x' : is not a member of 'cl_float4' in MS Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 under MS Windows xp sp3 and 7 pro.
also I get errors in case 
VS.s1=1.0f; 
Also other vector type has the same errors.
I see the problem in cl_platform.h
typedef union
{
cl_float CL_ALIGNED(16) s[4];
#if defined( __GNUC__) && ! defined( __STRICT_ANSI__ )
__extension__ struct{ cl_float x, y, z, w; };
__extension__ struct{ cl_float s0, s1, s2, s3; };
__extension__ struct{ cl_float2 lo, hi; };
#endif
#if defined( __CL_FLOAT2__) 
__cl_float2 v2[2];
#endif
#if defined( __CL_FLOAT4__) 
__cl_float4 v4;
#endif
}cl_float4;

Does visual studio support anonymous structs in unions? 
If not, there is nothing we can do here. You'll need to use the .s[index] accessor.

> Does visual studio support anonymous structs in unions? 

Yes, it does. Tested with VS2005 and

        union {
            struct {
                float x,y,z;
            };
            struct {
                float r,b,a;
            };
        } test;
