What happened to hipTexRefGetArray and other texture functions?

[emankov]

Being introduced with ROCm HIP 3.0.0 hipTexRefGetArray function disappeared in ROCm HIP 4.2.0. It was not marked as DEPRECATED before removal.

On the other hand, hipTexRefSetArray is still presented in the latest ROCm HIP 5.0.1 without the DEPRECATED mark and without support on the nvcc path. It has only the following annotation for the bunch of texture APIs:

// doxygen end deprecated texture management
/**
 * @}
 */

Do we still support of the cuTexRefGetArray to hipTexRefGetArray portability or not?
And what about other texture functions, which also do not have support on the nvcc path?

Please leave the issue open until it is explained in the documentation what the recommended replacement functions are. I'm blocking on this and does not have access to the internal email thread.

I'd also appreciate documentation on this, thanks.
