Compiler crash during clBuildProgram With release 260.63 beta Win 7 64 bits for notebooks

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

I wrote a quite complex kernel, that compiles and runs fine on AMD OpenCL platform, but for some reason crashes NVIDIA’s compiler on my notebook systematically.
My notebook has a GT 330M graphic card and runs under Windows 7 64 bits. I have installed the latest beta version of the driver, version 260.63 (OpenCL 1.0).

I have done my best to simplify the kernel at maximum. The following kernel code does nothing interesting anymore ;) but still crashes when I try to compile it.
Removing any of the instruction make the compiler happy again. I personally do not see any reason for this code to crash.

__kernel void crashes()
{
short4 y;
while(1)
{
short4 x = convert_short4(0);
x = x >= x;
convert_char4(x);
x &= (short4)(0xFF0);
y = x + y;
}
}

I also tried this code on two other computers with GTX 260 and 280 cards, under Windows XP 32 bits and the same driver version.
The problem does not show there.

Thank you for any clue.

maybe a stupid suggestion, but have you tried a workaround - put every kernel in separate file?

Hello,
I have a similar problem: Simple OpenCL-kernels always crashes in clBuildProgram (with CL_Program_Build_Failure).
First I thought, there is a problem with the SDK examples (as reported here http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtop…=#entry1121775), but I have the same problem with my own kernels.

Could it be, that this is a driver bug?
I use driver version 259.03 for Win 7, 64-bit (TCC).
