NAME
clGetProgramInfo - Returns information about the program object.
cl_int clGetProgramInfo(cl_program program, cl_program_info param_name,
size_t param_value_size, void *param_value,
size_t *param_value_size_ret);
PARAMETERS
program
Specifies the program object being queried.
param_name
Specifies the information to query. The list of supported param_name types and the
information returned in param_value by clGetProgramInfo is described in the table
below.
┌───────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────┐
│cl_program_info │ Return Type and Info. returned │
│ │ in param_value │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_REFERENCE_COUNT │ Return type: cl_uint │
│ │ │
│ │ Return the program reference │
│ │ count. │
│ │ │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_CONTEXT │ Return type: cl_context │
│ │ │
│ │ Return the context specified │
│ │ when the program object is │
│ │ created │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_NUM_DEVICES │ Return type: cl_uint │
│ │ │
│ │ Return the number of devices │
│ │ associated with program. │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_DEVICES │ Return type: cl_device_id[] │
│ │ │
│ │ Return the list of devices │
│ │ associated with the program │
│ │ object. This can be the devices │
│ │ associated with context on which │
│ │ the program object has been │
│ │ created or can be a subset of │
│ │ devices that are specified when │
│ │ a progam object is created using │
│ │ clCreateProgramWithBinary(3clc). │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_SOURCE │ Return type: char[] │
│ │ │
│ │ Return the program source code │
│ │ specified by │
│ │ clCreateProgramWithSource(3clc). │
│ │ The source string returned is a │
│ │ concatenation of all source │
│ │ strings specified to │
│ │ clCreateProgramWithSource(3clc) │
│ │ with a null terminator. The │
│ │ concatenation strips any nulls │
│ │ in the original source strings. │
│ │ │
│ │ If program is created using │
│ │ clCreateProgramWithBinary(3clc) │
│ │ or │
│ │ clCreateProgramWithBuiltInKernels(3clc), │
│ │ a null string or the appropriate │
│ │ program source code is returned │
│ │ depending on whether or not the │
│ │ program source code is stored in │
│ │ the binary. │
│ │ │
│ │ The actual number of characters │
│ │ that represents the program │
│ │ source code including the null │
│ │ terminator is returned in │
│ │ param_value_size_ret. │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_BINARY_SIZES │ Return type: size_t[] │
│ │ │
│ │ Returns an array that contains the size │
│ │ in bytes of the program binary (could be │
│ │ an executable binary, compiled binary or │
│ │ library binary) for each device │
│ │ associated with program. The size of the │
│ │ array is the number of devices │
│ │ associated with program. If a binary is │
│ │ not available for a device(s), a size of │
│ │ zero is returned. │
│ │ │
│ │ If program is created using │
│ │ clCreateProgramWithBuiltInKernels(3clc), │
│ │ the implementation may return zero in │
│ │ any entries of the returned array. │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_BINARIES │ Return type: unsigned char *[] │
│ │ │
│ │ Return the program binaries (could be an │
│ │ executable binary, compiled binary or │
│ │ library binary) for all devices │
│ │ associated with program. For each device │
│ │ in program, the binary returned can be │
│ │ the binary specified for the device when │
│ │ program is created with │
│ │ clCreateProgramWithBinary(3clc) or it │
│ │ can be the executable binary generated │
│ │ by clBuildProgram(3clc) or │
│ │ clLinkProgram(3clc). If program is │
│ │ created with │
│ │ clCreateProgramWithSource(3clc), the │
│ │ binary returned is the binary generated │
│ │ by clBuildProgram(3clc), │
│ │ clCompileProgram(3clc), or │
│ │ clLinkProgram(3clc). The bits returned │
│ │ can be an implementation-specific │
│ │ intermediate representation (a.k.a. IR) │
│ │ or device specific executable bits or │
│ │ both. The decision on which information │
│ │ is returned in the binary is up to the │
│ │ OpenCL implementation. │
│ │ │
│ │ param_value points to an array of n │
│ │ pointers allocated by the caller, where │
│ │ n is the number of devices associated │
│ │ with program. The buffer sizes needed to │
│ │ allocate the memory that these n │
│ │ pointers refer to can be queried using │
│ │ the CL_PROGRAM_BINARY_SIZES query as │
│ │ described in this table. │
│ │ │
│ │ Each entry in this array is used by the │
│ │ implementation as the location in memory │
│ │ where to copy the program binary for a │
│ │ specific device, if there is a binary │
│ │ available. To find out which device the │
│ │ program binary in the array refers to, │
│ │ use the CL_PROGRAM_DEVICES query to get │
│ │ the list of devices. There is a │
│ │ one-to-one correspondence between the │
│ │ array of n pointers returned by │
│ │ CL_PROGRAM_BINARIES and array of devices │
│ │ returned by CL_PROGRAM_DEVICES. │
│ │ │
│ │ If an entry value in the array is NULL, │
│ │ the implementation skips copying the │
│ │ program binary for the specific device │
│ │ identified by the array index. │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_NUM_KERNELS │ Return type: size_t │
│ │ │
│ │ Returns the number of kernels declared │
│ │ in program that can be created with │
│ │ clCreateKernel(3clc). This information │
│ │ is only available after a successful │
│ │ program executable has been built for at │
│ │ least one device in the list of devices │
│ │ associated with program. │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│CL_PROGRAM_KERNEL_NAMES │ Return type: char[] │
│ │ │
│ │ Returns a semi-colon separated list of │
│ │ kernel names in program that can be │
│ │ created with clCreateKernel(3clc). This │
│ │ information is only available after a │
│ │ successful program executable has been │
│ │ built for at least one device in the │
│ │ list of devices associated with program. │
└───────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────┘
param_value
A pointer to memory where the appropriate result being queried is returned. If
param_value is NULL, it is ignored.
param_value_size
Used to specify the size in bytes of memory pointed to by param_value. This size must
be ≥ size of return type as described in the table above.
param_value_size_ret
Returns the actual size in bytes of data copied to param_value. If
param_value_size_ret is NULL, it is ignored.
ERRORS
Returns CL_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise, it returns one of
the following errors:
· CL_INVALID_VALUE if param_name is not valid, or if size in bytes specified by
param_value_size is < size of return type as described in the table above and
param_value is not NULL.
· CL_INVALID_PROGRAM if program is not a valid program object.
· CL_INVALID_PROGRAM_EXECUTABLE if param_name is CL_PROGRAM_NUM_KERNELS or
CL_PROGRAM_KERNEL_NAMES and a successful program executable has not been built for at
least one device in the list of devices associated with program.
· 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.
