Other_Data_Types - Other Built-in Data Types
DESCRIPTION
The following table describes other data types supported by OpenCL:
┌─────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐
│Type │ Description │
├─────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
│image2d_t │ A 2D image. See individual │
│ │ imageFunctions(3clc) for more │
│ │ information. │
├─────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
│image3d_t │ A 3D image. See individual │
│ │ imageFunctions(3clc) for more │
│ │ information. │
├─────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
│image2d_array_t │ A 2D image array. See individual │
│ │ imageFunctions(3clc) for more │
│ │ information. │
├─────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
│image1d_t │ A 1D image. See individual │
│ │ imageFunctions(3clc) for more │
│ │ information. │
├─────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
│image1d_buffer_t │ A 1D image created from a buffer │
│ │ object. See individual │
│ │ imageFunctions(3clc) for more │
│ │ information. │
├─────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
│image1d_array_t │ A 1D image array. See individual │
│ │ imageFunctions(3clc) for more │
│ │ information. │
├─────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
│sampler_t(3clc) │ A sampler type. │
├─────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
│event_t │ An event. This can be used to │
│ │ identify async copies from │
│ │ global to local memory and │
│ │ vice-versa. See individual │
│ │ asyncCopyFunctions(3clc) for │
│ │ more information. │
└─────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘
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).
