platform there may be performance issues.
 If you are using the Eclipse* Mars IDE on the Linux* Ubuntu x64 system, set the SWT_GTK3
environment prior running the IDE:
SWT_GTK3 = 0

3.2 Code Builder IDE Plug-in Limitations

 Build feature limitations:
o To work with the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ - offline compiler plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio*
IDE on 64-bit OS, configure the Visual Studio for 64-bit applications (64-bit compiler and tools).
o LLVM view for Intel® Processor Graphics device in the Offline Compiler plug-in for the Visual
Studio IDE is not supported on “Compile” and “Link” options. To see the Intel® Processor
Graphics LLVM code, use the Build option.
o In order to work with Kernel Builder tool on Ubuntu* 14.04.3 version, LD_PRELOAD must be
set:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1
(find more information on Ubuntu Forums).
o Source code mapping between GPU assembly code to OpenCL code in not supported on latest
OpenCL driver for GPU.
 Kernel Debugger Framework plug-in for Eclipse* IDE
o On Ubuntu 14.04.x, if you encounter the following error:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 224:
_dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed!
set the following environment variable to fix this issue:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1
 GPU Kernel Debugger for the Visual Studio IDE
o The GPU kernel debugger is supported on 64-bit applications only.
o When passing `-s` build option to a clBuildProgram() method call, if path to the source file
contains spaces, you must enclose it in double quotes. Note that enclosing path containing
spaces in single quotes or escaping spaces is not work correctly.
 CPU Kernel Debugger for the Visual Studio IDE does not support:
o Edit and continue capability
o Multithreaded debugging
o Two instances of Visual Studio running simultaneously
o Unions
 OpenCL API Debugger
o Concurrent debug sessions with API Debugger are not supported. This includes attaching the
Visual Studio debugger to more than one process, or opening multiple instances of Visual
Studio and debugging processes concurrently.

Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications 2017 Release Notes
Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications 2017

o Kernel analysis features are not supported on Intel® processors older than 4th Generation Intel®
Core™ Processors
o Latency and occupancy reports cannot be generated for built-in kernels which are generated
with clCreateProgramWithBuiltInKernels
o Calling the API clCreateProgramWithBuiltInKernels or clCreateAcceleratorINTEL
generates additional OpenCL APIs in the API Analyze report, these APIs do not appear in the
code.
o Occupancy analysis is not supported on an application that includes a call to Microsoft D3D11
API GetData(). Running Occupancy analysis on such an application leads to application crash
with an exception.
o Kernel analysis, HW counters and some of the hints are available only for kernels that run on
GPU (shared context is not supported)
o Host and kernel level analysis are not supported on an application that uses the motion
estimation extension

WiX Toolset License

The WiX toolset is released under the Microsoft Reciprocal License (MS-RL). A reciprocal license is used to
ensure that others who build on the effort of the WiX community give back to the WiX community. Specifically
the license changes and improvements to the WiX toolset must be published using the same license.

Sometimes the reciprocal license is incorrectly interpreted to also apply to bundles, packages, custom actions
built using the WiX toolset. The Outercurve Foundation has provided this statement to clarify:

The WiX toolset (WiX) is licensed under the Microsoft Reciprocal License (MS-RL). The MS-RL governs the
distribution of the software licensed under it, as well as derivative works, and incorporates the definition of a
derivative work provided in U.S. copyright law. OuterCurve Foundation does not view the installer packages
generated by WiX as falling within the definition of a derivative work, merely because they are produced using WiX.
Thus, the installer packages generated by WiX will normally fall outside the scope of the MS-RL, and any of your
source code, binaries, libraries, routines or other software components that are incorporated in installer packages
generated by WiX can be governed by other licensing terms.

The full text of the MS-RL license is reproduced below. It can also be found in the LICENSE.TXT file included
with the source code.

8.1.1 Microsoft Reciprocal License (MS-RL)

This license governs use of the accompanying software. If you use the software, you accept this license. If you
do not accept the license, do not use the software.

1. Definitions

The terms "reproduce," "reproduction," "derivative works," and "distribution" have the same
meaning here as under U.S. copyright law.

A "contribution" is the original software, or any additions or changes to the software.

A "contributor" is any person that distributes its contribution under this license.

"Licensed patents" are a contributor's patent claims that read directly on its contribution.

(A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license conditions and
limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
copyright license to reproduce its contribution, prepare derivative works of its contribution, and
distribute its contribution or any derivative works that you create.

(B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license conditions and
limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
license under its licensed patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and/or
otherwise dispose of its contribution in the software or derivative works of the contribution in the
software.

3. Conditions and Limitations

(A) Reciprocal Grants- For any file you distribute that contains code from the software (in source
code or binary format), you must provide recipients the source code to that file along with a copy
of this license, which license will govern that file. You may license other files that are entirely your
own work and do not contain code from the software under any terms you choose.

(B) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to use any contributors' name,
logo, or trademarks.

(C) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that you claim are infringed by
the software, your patent license from such contributor to the software ends automatically.

(D) If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all copyright, patent, trademark,
and attribution notices that are present in the software.

(E) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, you may do so only under this
license by including a complete copy of this license with your distribution. If you distribute any
portion of the software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so under a license that
complies with this license.

(F) The software is licensed "as-is." You bear the risk of using it. The contributors give no express
warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local
laws which this license cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, the
contributors exclude the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and
non-infringement.
