April 2026 monthly summary for ROCm/TheRock. Focused on enabling Windows debugging capabilities by delivering AMD-dbgapi build support on Windows, updating the CI pipeline for Windows multi-arch builds, and aligning artifacts and documentation to reflect Windows compatibility. This work reduces cross-platform debugging friction and expands the developer tooling surface for Windows environments. The changes were implemented with cross-team collaboration (co-authored commit) and targeted adjustments to dependencies, build steps, and validation. The following features and improvements were delivered this month, anchored by a single core feature and its associated CI and docs updates: Key features delivered: - Windows AMD-dbgapi build support: removed platform restrictions to enable Windows builds and updated CI configurations. Commit 41b84b35fe5f77aa0084dc58db169cd9dea1c826 details changes including removal of disable_platforms for debug-tools/amd-dbgapi, updating dependencies, adding a Windows static library build, and updating windows_support.md to mark AMD-dbgapi as supported. Major bugs fixed: - Resolved Windows build blockers for AMD-dbgapi by removing platform restrictions and updating dependency groups (e.g., hip-runtime removal from debug-tools), plus enhanced shared library validation for Windows. - Stabilized Windows multi-arch CI flow by incorporating a dedicated debug-tools stage. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Broadened cross-platform debugging capabilities by enabling AMD-dbgapi on Windows, accelerating issue diagnosis and feature QA for Windows users, and reducing time-to-debug. - Improved CI reliability for Windows builds and multi-arch scenarios, lowering post-merge failures and speeding up delivery. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Cross-platform build configuration and artifact management, Windows CI pipeline updates, static library creation on Windows, shared library validation, and maintainance of Windows documentation. - Collaboration and code review across the team (co-authored commit).
