Description
A minor omission but critical for new users of AMDGPU.jl get_global_pointer:
The github source contains the fix: AMDGPU.Device.get_global_pointer on the page for global variables and pointers. Neither of JuliaHub or GitLab stable documentation have this fix; they still present the outdated code:
function my_kernel(A)
idx = workitemIdx().x
ptr = AMDGPU.get_global_pointer(Val(:myglobal), Float32)
A[idx] += Base.unsafe_load(ptr)
nothing
end
which should be:
function my_kernel(A)
idx = workitemIdx().x
ptr = AMDGPU.Device.get_global_pointer(Val(:myglobal), Float32)
A[idx] += Base.unsafe_load(ptr)
nothing
end

Research direction
Compare the GitHub source with the stable documentation page for global variables and pointers on JuliaHub and GitLab. Locate the example containing AMDGPU.get_global_pointer, update the documentation so it matches the source's AMDGPU.Device.get_global_pointer call, and verify both stable sites no longer show the outdated example.
