Please use the following option instead: `--use-experimental-features=root-group` `=root-group`: Experimental extension that allows use of root group class and relative API. `=graph`: Experimental extension that allows use of SYCL Graph APIs. `=occupancy-calculation`: Experimental helper function used to calculate occupancy. See more details in `dpct::experimental::calculate_max_active_wg_per_xecore` and `dpct::experimental::calculate_max_potential_wg` in header file `util.hpp`. `=user-defined-reductions`: Experimental extension that allows user-defined reductions. See more details. `=non-uniform-groups`: Experimental extension that allows use of non-uniform groups. See more details. `=device_global`: Experimental extension that allows device scoped memory allocations into SYCL that can be accessed within a kernel using syntax similar to C++ global variables. See more details. `=virtual_mem`: Experimental extension that allows for mapping of an address range onto multiple allocations of physical memory. `=in_order_queue_events`: Experimental extension that allows getting the event from the last command submission into the queue and setting an external event as an implicit dependence on the next command submitted to the queue. `=non-standard-sycl-builtins`: Experimental extension that allows use of non standard SYCL builtin functions. `=prefetch`: Experimental extension that allows use of SYCL prefetch APIs. `=all`: Enable all experimental extensions listed in this option.
