NAME
clGetGLContextInfoKHR - Get OpenGL context information.
cl_int clGetGLContextInfoKHR(const cl_context_properties *properties,
cl_gl_context_info param_name, size_t param_value_size,
void *param_value, size_t *param_value_size_ret);
PARAMETERS
properties
Points to an attribute list whose format and valid contents are identical to the
properties argument of clCreateContext(3clc). properties must identify a single valid
GL context or GL share group object.
param_name
A constant that specifies the GL context information to query, and must be one of the
values shown in the table below.
param_value_size
Specifies the size in bytes of memory pointed to by param_value. This size must be
greater than or equal to the size of the return type described in the table below.
param_value
A pointer to memory where the result of the query is returned as described in the
table below. If param_value is NULL, it is ignored.
param_value_size_ret
Returns the actual size in bytes of data being queried by param_value. If
param_value_size_ret is NULL, it is ignored.

DESCRIPTION
The OpenGL object used to create the OpenCL memory object and information about the object
type i.e. whether it is a texture, renderbuffer, or buffer object can be queried using
this function.
NOTES
The OpenCL specification in section 9.7 defines how to share data with texture and buffer
objects in a parallel OpenGL implementation, but does not define how the association
between an OpenCL context and an OpenGL context or share group is established. This
extension defines optional attributes to OpenCL context creation routines which associate
a GL context or share group object with a newly created OpenCL context. If this extension
is supported by an implementation, the string "cl_khr_gl_sharing" will be present in the
CL_PLATFORM_EXTENSIONS or CL_DEVICE_EXTENSIONS string described in the table of allowed
values for param_name for clGetDeviceInfo(3clc).
An OpenGL implementation supporting buffer objects and sharing of texture and buffer
object images with OpenCL is required by this extension.
OpenCL device(s) corresponding to an OpenGL context may be queried. Such a device may not
always exist (for example, if an OpenGL context is specified on a GPU not supporting
OpenCL command queues, but which does support shared CL/GL objects), and if it does exist,
may change over time. When such a device does exist, acquiring and releasing shared CL/GL
objects may be faster on a command queue corresponding to this device than on command
queues corresponding to other devices available to an OpenCL context.
ERRORS
Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. If no device(s) exist
corresponding to param_name, the call will not fail, but the value of param_value_size_ret
will be zero. Otherwise returns one of the following:
· CL_INVALID_GL_SHAREGROUP_REFERENCE_KHR when an invalid OpenGL context or share group
object handle is specified in properties.
· CL_INVALID_GL_SHAREGROUP_REFERENCE_KHR if a context was specified by any of the
following means:
· A context was specified for an EGL-based OpenGL ES or OpenGL implementation by
setting the attributes CL_GL_CONTEXT_KHR and CL_EGL_DISPLAY_KHR.RE
· A context was specified for a GLX-based OpenGL implementation by setting the
attributes CL_GL_CONTEXT_KHR and CL_GLX_DISPLAY_KHR.RE
· A context was specified for a WGL-based OpenGL implementation by setting
the attributes CL_GL_CONTEXT_KHR and CL_WGL_HDC_KHR.RE
and any of the following conditions hold:
· The specified display and context attributes do not identify a valid
OpenGL or OpenGL ES context.
· The specified context does not support buffer and renderbuffer
objects.
· The specified context is not compatible with the OpenCL context being
created (for example, it exists in a physically distinct address
space, such as another hardware device; or it does not support sharing
data with OpenCL due to implementation restrictions).
· CL_INVALID_GL_SHAREGROUP_REFERENCE_KHR if a share group was specified for
a CGL-based OpenGL implementation by setting the attribute
CL_CGL_SHAREGROUP_KHR, and the specified share group does not identify a
valid CGL share group object.
· CL_INVALID_OPERATION if a context was specified as described above and any
of the following conditions hold:
· A context or share group object was specified for one of CGL, EGL,
GLX, or WGL and the OpenGL implementation does not support that
window-system binding API.
· More than one of the attributes CL_CGL_SHAREGROUP_KHR,
CL_EGL_DISPLAY_KHR, CL_GLX_DISPLAY_KHR, and CL_WGL_HDC_KHR is set to a
non-default value.
· Both of the attributes CL_CGL_SHAREGROUP_KHR and CL_GL_CONTEXT_KHR
are set to non-default values.
· Any of the devices specified in the devices argument cannot support
OpenCL objects which share the data store of an OpenGL object.
· CL_INVALID_VALUE if an attribute name other than those specified in the
table of supported properties for clCreateContext(3clc) is specified in
properties.
· CL_INVALID_VALUE if param_name is not CL_CURRENT_DEVICE_FOR_GL_CONTEXT_KHR
or CL_DEVICES_FOR_GL_CONTEXT_KHR; or if the size in bytes specified by
param_value_size is less than the size of the return type shown above for
CL_CURRENT_DEVICE_FOR_GL_CONTEXT_KHR or CL_DEVICES_FOR_GL_CONTEXT_KHR; and
param_value is not a NULL value.
· 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.
