So you use USE_LIBRARY_BITSELECT, which has to be manually (un)defined.
Maybe we should use the same approach that magnum uses in rar_kernel.cl:
#ifdef cl_nv_pragma_unroll
#define NVIDIA
#endif
[...]
#ifdef NVIDIA
#define F(x,y,z) (z ^ (x & (y ^ z)))
#else
#define F(x,y,z) bitselect(z, y, x)
#endif
This won't detect CPUs, though - where we also don't want to use
bitselect() most of the time (the instruction is only available with XOP
and is probably not used by current OpenCL SDKs since I think only
Intel's does vectorization) - but this code is mostly just for AMD and
NVIDIA GPUs now. We have faster MSCash2 code on CPU anyway.
