NAME
clGetEventInfo - Returns information about the event object.
cl_int clGetEventInfo(cl_event event, cl_event_info param_name, size_t param_value_size,
void *param_value, size_t *param_value_size_ret);
PARAMETERS
event
Specifies the event object being queried.
param_value
A pointer to memory where the appropriate result being queried is returned. If
param_value is NULL, it is ignored.
param_value_size
Specifies the size in bytes of memory pointed to by param_value. This size must be ≥
size of the return type as described in the table below.
param_value_size_ret
Returns the actual size in bytes of data copied to param_value. If
param_value_size_ret is NULL, it is ignored.
param_name
Specifies the information to query. The list of supported param_name types and the
information returned in param_value by clGetEventInfo is described in the table below:

├─────────────────────────┼──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_EVENT_COMMAND_ │ cl_int │ Return the execution status of the command identified by │
│EXECUTION_STATUS │ │ event. The valid values are: │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ CL_QUEUED (command has been enqueued in the command-queue), │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ CL_SUBMITTED (enqueued command has been submitted by the host │
│ │ │ to the device associated with the command-queue), │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ CL_RUNNING (device is currently executing this command), │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ CL_COMPLETE (the command has completed), or │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ Error code given by a negative integer value. (command was │
│ │ │ abnormally terminated – this may be caused by a bad memory │
│ │ │ access etc.) These error codes come from the same set of │
│ │ │ error codes that are returned from the platform or runtime │
│ │ │ API calls as return values or errcode_ret values. │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ The error code values are negative, and event state values │
│ │ │ are positive. The event state values are ordered from the │
│ │ │ largest value (CL_QUEUED) for the first or initial state to │
│ │ │ the smallest value (CL_COMPLETE or negative integer value) │
│ │ │ for the last or complete state. The value of CL_COMPLETE and │
│ │ │ CL_SUCCESS are the same. │
├─────────────────────────┼──────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_EVENT_REFERENCE_COUNT │ cl_uint │ Return the event reference count. The reference count │
│ │ │ returned should be considered immediately stale. It is │
│ │ │ unsuitable for general use in applications. This feature is │
│ │ │ provided for identifying memory leaks. │
└─────────────────────────┴──────────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
NOTES
Using clGetEventInfo to determine if a command identified by event has finished execution
(i.e. CL_EVENT_COMMAND_EXECUTION_STATUS returns CL_COMPLETE) is not a synchronization
point. There are no guarantees that the memory objects being modified by command
associated with event will be visible to other enqueued commands.
ERRORS
Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function executed successfully, or one of the errors below:
· CL_INVALID_VALUE if param_name is not valid, or if size in bytes specified by
param_value_size is < size of return type as described in the table above and
param_value is not NULL.
· CL_INVALID_VALUE if information to query given in param_name cannot be queried for
event.
· CL_INVALID_EVENT if event is not a valid event object.
· CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL
implementation on the device.
· CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the
OpenCL implementation on the host.
