       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).
