libclc

brew install libclc v22.1.8 Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception

OpenCL C standard library implementation providing built-in functions and types for heterogeneous compute.

Why you might care

libclc is a build dependency for OpenCL toolchains and GPU compute frameworks; it provides the standard library that OpenCL kernels link against. Most users won't install it directly—it's required by LLVM's OpenCL support and related GPU compute tools. Essential for compiling OpenCL C code to SPIR-V or GPU ISAs.
