NAME

       clReleaseMemObject - Decrements the memory object reference count.

       cl_int clReleaseMemObject(cl_mem memobj);

NOTES

       After the memobj reference count becomes zero and commands queued for execution on a
       command-queue(s) that use memobj have finished, the memory object is deleted. If memobj is
       a buffer object, memobj cannot be deleted until all sub-buffer objects associated with
       memobj are deleted.

ERRORS

       Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise, it returns one of
       the following errors:

       •   CL_INVALID_MEM_OBJECT if memobj is a not a valid memory 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.
