| ``hipcc`` is a compiler driver utility that will call clang or nvcc, depending on target, and pass the appropriate include and library options for the target compiler and HIP infrastructure. | ||
|
|
||
| There is both a Perl version, and a C++ executable version of the ``hipcc`` and ``hipconfig`` compiler driver utilities provided. By default the Perl version is used when ``hipcc`` is run. To enable the C++ versions, set the environment variable ``HIP_USE_PERL_SCRIPTS=0``. | ||

For ROCm 6.2, hipcc and hipconfig will default to use the C++ versions instead of the Perl versions - the opposite of what we have here and what was done in previous releases. So, can we change the wording to something like this:
In ROCm 6.2, the C++ executables "hipcc.bin" and "hipconfig.bin" will be invoked by default whenever "hipcc" or "hipconfig" are called, respectively. To have the Perl versions called instead, set the environment variable "HIP_USE_PERL_SCRIPTS=1" before calling "hipcc" or "hipconfig".
The Perl versions of the scripts are deprecated, and will be removed in a future ROCm release.

If you want, we can use this PR in 6.1.1, and I can change it for 6.2 as you have indicated. If you just want to use this for 6.2 I will change it as requested.

This change, in default behaviour, is only for ROCm 6.2.

ok, so we can use this change (doc restructuring) as-is for ROCm 6.1.1. And change the wording for ROCm 6.2.
