Pass local memory variable to inline function

[clee30]

hi,

I try to pass a local buffer to a inline function, however, it is not clear which types can be use for local buffer. Can the local buffer pass to inline function?

Below is the error during compilation.

note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'const accessor<float, 1, access::mode::read_write, access::target::local> *' to 'float *' for argument device_inline void getPartialDerivative(float *buf ...

Sample code
device_inline void getPartialDerivative(float *buf ... )
{

}

Q.submit([&](handler &h) {
accessor<float,1, access::mode::read_write, access::target::local>
buf(range(slmSize), h);
range global {size};
range local {16};
h.parallel_for(nd_range(global, local), [=](sycl::nd_item<1> it) {

            getPartialDerivative(buf);  -> compilation error

The issue has resolved. Get the info from #3179.

Here is the modified code.

device_inline void getPartialDerivative(local_ptr<float> &buf ... )
{
}

Q.submit([&](handler &h) {
accessor<float,1, access::mode::read_write, access::target::local>
      buf(range(slmSize), h);
range global {size};
range local {16};
h.parallel_for(nd_range(global, local), [=](sycl::nd_item<1> it) {
            local_ptr<float> localbuf { local_ptr<float>(buf) }; 
            getPartialDerivative(localbuf);
