NAME
       clReleaseKernel - Decrements the kernel reference count.

       cl_int clReleaseKernel(cl_kernel kernel);


NOTES
       The kernel object is deleted once the number of instances that are retained to kernel become zero and the
       kernel object is no longer needed by any enqueued commands that use kernel.


ERRORS
       Returns CL_SUCCESS if the kernel objects are successfully alloctaed. Otherwise, it returns one of the
       following errors:

       •   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.
