ID 448363 - BlinkScript - Creating unsigned variables using "uint" throws an error when GPU acceleration is enabled

Problem summary
BlinkScript - Creating unsigned variables using "uint" throws an error when GPU acceleration is enabled.

Customer reported version
Nuke 12.2v2

Customer reported platform
CentOS 7

Steps to reproduce

1) This issue can be reproduced with the example files found here:

2) Open Nuke and create a BlinkScript node.

3) Ensure that the "Use GPU if available" knob is checked on the BlinkScript node (under the Kernel Parameters tab).

4) Open the "Kernel File" file browser and select one of the example files. For example "CellNoise_Worley_001.cpp"

5) Click the "Load" button and the following error should appear:

Error compiling kernel: Error compiling kernel for GPU

Expected behaviour
The kernel should successfully compile.

Actual behaviour
The kernel does not compile and Nuke throws the following error:

Error compiling kernel: Error compiling kernel for GPU

Workaround
Add the following to the beginning of the BlinkScript:

#define uint unsigned int

Alternatively, you can uncheck the "Use GPU if available" knob on the BlinkScript node.
