NAME
length - Vector length. float length(floatn p); double length(doublen p); half length (gentype p) // if half extension enabled
DESCRIPTION
Returns the length of vector p, i.e., the square root of (p.x2 + p.y2 + ...)
NOTES
Built-in geometric functions operate component-wise. The description is per-component. floatn is float, float2, float3, or float4 and doublen is double, double2, double3, or double4. The built-in geometric functions are implemented using the round to nearest even rounding mode. The geometric functions can be implemented using contractions such as mad(3clc) or fma(3clc). If extended with cl_khr_fp16(3clc), generic type name gentype may indicate half and half{2|3|4} as arguments.
