NAME
clGetKernelInfo - Returns information about the kernel object.
cl_int clGetKernelInfo(cl_kernel kernel, cl_kernel_info param_name, size_t param_value_size,
void *param_value, size_t *param_value_size_ret);
PARAMETERS
kernel
Specifies the kernel object being queried.
param_name
Specifies the information to query. The list of supported param_name types and the information
returned in param_value by clGetKernelInfo is described in the table below.
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
Used to specify the size in bytes of memory pointed to by param_value. This size must be ≥ size of
return type as described in the table below.
┌──────────────────────────┬─────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
│cl_kernel_info │ Return Type │ Info. returned in │
│ │ │ param_value │
├──────────────────────────┼─────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│CL_KERNEL_FUNCTION_NAME │ char[] │ Return the kernel function │
│ │ │ name. │
├──────────────────────────┼─────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│CL_KERNEL_NUM_ARGS │ cl_uint │ Return the number of │
│ │ │ arguments to kernel. │
├──────────────────────────┼─────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│CL_KERNEL_REFERENCE_COUNT │ cl_uint │ Return the kernel reference │
│ │ │ count. │
│ │ │ │
├──────────────────────────┼─────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│CL_KERNEL_CONTEXT │ cl_context │ Return the context │
│ │ │ associated with kernel. │
├──────────────────────────┼─────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│CL_KERNEL_PROGRAM │ cl_program │ Return the program object │
│ │ │ associated with kernel. │
├──────────────────────────┼─────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
│CL_KERNEL_ATTRIBUTES │ char[] │ Returns any attributes │
│ │ │ specified using the │
│ │ │ __attribute(3clc)__ │
│ │ │ qualifier with the kernel │
│ │ │ function declaration in the │
│ │ │ program source. These │
│ │ │ attributes include those on │
│ │ │ the __attribute(3clc)__ page │
│ │ │ and other attributes │
│ │ │ supported by an │
│ │ │ implementation. │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ Attributes are returned as │
│ │ │ they were declared inside │
│ │ │ __attribute(3clc)__((...)), │
│ │ │ with any surrounding │
│ │ │ whitespace and embedded │
│ │ │ newlines removed. When │
│ │ │ multiple attributes are │
│ │ │ present, they are returned │
│ │ │ as a single, space delimited │
│ │ │ string. │
└──────────────────────────┴─────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
param_value_size_ret
the actual size in bytes of data copied to param_value. If param_value_size_ret is NULL, it is
ignored.
ERRORS
Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise, it returns one of the following
errors:
• 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_KERNEL if kernel is not a valid kernel 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.
