Yeah, it's nice.  But don't forget version of clang also.  I'm using
Fedora 30 which comes with clang 8.0 and LLVM8.0,7.0,6.0,5.0.   (Maybe)
due to clang 8.0, beignet is impossible to compile.   clang's include
files conflicts with any of LLVM8.0,7.0,6.0,5.0.

It will be nice someone makes a patch for that.   Fedora team doesn't
support beignet now in Fedora 30.   So I am using beignet package for
Fedora 29, but I'm not sure how long it is usable....
