NAME¶
Other_Data_Types - Other Built-in Data Types
DESCRIPTION¶
The following table describes other data types supported by OpenCL:
Type |
Description |
image2d_t |
A 2D image. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more
information. |
image3d_t |
A 3D image. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more
information. |
image2d_array_t |
A 2D image array. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more
information. |
image1d_t |
A 1D image. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more
information. |
image1d_buffer_t |
A 1D image created from a buffer object. See individual
imageFunctions(3clc) for more information. |
image1d_array_t |
A 1D image array. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more
information. |
sampler_t(3clc) |
A sampler type. |
event_t |
An event. This can be used to identify async copies from global to local
memory and vice-versa. See individual asyncCopyFunctions(3clc) for
more information. |
NOTE: The
image2d_t,
image3d_t,
image2d_array_t,
image1d_t,
image1d_buffer_t,
image1d_array_t, and
sampler_t types are only defined if the device supports images i.e.
CL_DEVICE_IMAGE_SUPPORT is
CL_TRUE. See the table for
param_name for
clGetDeviceInfo(3clc) for details.
The C99 derived types (arrays, structs, union, function, and pointers),
constructed from the built-in data types described in
scalarDataTypes(3clc),
vectorDataTypes(3clc), and
otherDataTypes(3clc) are also supported with certain
restrictions(3clc).
