= The OpenCL C Programming Language

[NOTE]
====
This document starts at chapter 6 to keep the section numbers historically
consistent with previous versions of the OpenCL and OpenCL C Programming
Language specifications.
====

This section describes the OpenCL C programming language.
The OpenCL C programming language may be used to write kernels that execute
on an OpenCL device.

The OpenCL C programming language (also referred to as OpenCL C) is based
on the <<C99-spec,ISO/IEC 9899:1999 Programming languages - C>> specification
(also referred to as the C99 specification, or just C99), with extensions
and restrictions to support parallel kernels.
In addition, some features of OpenCL C are based on the <<C11-spec,ISO/IEC
9899:2011 Information technology - Programming languages - C>> specification
(also referred to as the C11 specification, or just C11).

This document describes the modifications and restrictions to C99 and C11
in OpenCL C.
Please refer to the C99 specification for a detailed description of the
language grammar.

[[unified-spec]]
== Unified Specification

This document specifies all versions of OpenCL C.

There are several ways that an OpenCL C feature may be described in terms of
what versions of OpenCL C specify that feature.

  * Requires support for OpenCL C _major.minor_ or newer: Features that were
    introduced in version _major.minor_.
    Compilers for an earlier version of OpenCL C will not provide these
    features.
  ** In some instances the variation of "For OpenCL C _major.minor_ or newer"
     is used, it has the identical meaning.
  * Requires support for OpenCL C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and the
    {opencl_c_feature_name} feature:
    Features that were introduced in OpenCL C 2.0 as mandatory, but made
    <<optional-functionality, optional>> in OpenCL C 3.0.
    Compilers for versions of OpenCL C 1.2 or below will not provide these
    features, compilers for OpenCL C 2.0 will provide these features,
    compilers for OpenCL C 3.0 or newer may provide these features.
  * Requires support for OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and the
    {opencl_c_feature_name} feature: <<optional-functionality,
    Optional>> features that were introduced in OpenCL C 3.0.
    Compilers for an earlier version of OpenCL C will not provide these
    features, compilers for OpenCL C 3.0 or newer may provide these features.
  * Deprecated by OpenCL C _major.minor_: Features that were deprecated
    in version _major.minor_, see the definition of deprecation in the
    glossary of the main OpenCL specification.
  * Universal: Features that have no mention of what version they are missing
    before or deprecated by are specified for all versions of OpenCL C.

[[optional-functionality]]
== Optional functionality

Some language functionality is optional and will not be supported by all
devices. Such functionality is represented by optional language features or
language extensions. Support of optional functionality in OpenCL C is indicated
by the presence of special predefined macros.

[[features]]
=== Features

IMPORTANT: Feature test macros <<unified-spec, require>> support for OpenCL C
3.0 or newer.

Optional core language features are described in this document. They are
optional from OpenCL C 3.0 onwards and therefore are not supported by all
implementations. When an OpenCL C 3.0 optional feature is supported, an
associated __feature test macro__ will be predefined.

The following table describes OpenCL C 3.0 or newer features and their
meaning. The naming convention for the feature macros is
{opencl_c_feature_name}.

Feature macro identifiers are used as names of features in this document.

[[table-optional-lang-features]]
.Optional features in OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and their predefined macros.

| {opencl_c_pipes}
| The OpenCL C compiler supports the pipe specifier and built-in functions
to read and write from a pipe.

OpenCL C compilers that define the feature macro {opencl_c_pipes} must
also define the feature macro {opencl_c_generic_address_space}.

| {opencl_c_program_scope_global_variables}
| The OpenCL C compiler supports program scope variables in the global address
space.

| {opencl_c_read_write_images}
| The OpenCL C compiler supports reading from and writing to the same image
object in a kernel.

OpenCL C compilers that define the feature macro
{opencl_c_read_write_images} must also define the feature macro

of work-items.

| {opencl_c_work_group_collective_functions}

| The OpenCL C compiler supports `CLK_UNORM_INT_2_101010_EXT` and returning it
from `get_image_channel_data_type`.
endif::cl_ext_image_unorm_int_2_101010[]

|====

In OpenCL C 3.0 or newer, feature macros must expand to the value `1` if the
feature macro is defined by the OpenCL C compiler. A feature macro must not be
defined if the feature is not supported by the OpenCL C compiler. A feature
macro may expand to a different value in the future, but if this occurs the
value of the feature macro must compare greater than the prior value of the
feature macro.

As specified in <<C99-spec,section 7.1.3 of the C99 Specification>> double
underscore identifiers are reserved and therefore implementations
for earlier OpenCL C versions are allowed to define feature test macros
but they are not required to do so. This means that applications which
target earlier OpenCL C versions should not rely on the presence of
feature test macros because there is no guarantee that feature test macros
will be defined and that if defined they will indicate the presence of the
corresponding optional functionality.


[[extensions]]
=== Extensions

Other optional functionality may be described by language extensions to OpenCL
C. Extensions are described in the <<opencl-extension-spec,OpenCL Extension
Specification>>.  When an OpenCL C extension is supported an associated
__extension macro__ will be predefined.  Please refer to the OpenCL Extension
Specification for more information about predefined extension macros.

Prior to OpenCL C 3.0, support for some optional core language features was
indicated using predefined extension macros.

When an optional core language feature began as an extension it may have both an
associated feature macro and an associated extension macro.  If an optional core
language feature was an optional extension to an earlier version of OpenCL C it
can still be used as an extension, i.e. the same predefined extension macros are
still valid in OpenCL C 3.0 or newer, however the use of feature macros is
preferred whenever possible.

Most built-in scalar data types are also declared as appropriate types in
the OpenCL API (and header files) that can be used by an application.
The following table describes the built-in scalar data type in the OpenCL C
programming language and the corresponding data type available to the
application:

[[double-precision-support]]
==== Double-Precision Floating-Point Support

Double-precision floating-point is supported if
ifdef::cl_khr_fp64[the {cl_khr_fp64_EXT} extension macro is supported, or if]
OpenCL 1.2 or newer is supported.
In OpenCL 3.0, it also requires support for the {opencl_c_fp64} feature,

If double-precision is not supported, implementations may
implicitly cast double-precision floating-point literals to
single-precision literals. The use of double-precision literals without
double-precision support should result in a diagnostic.


[[the-half-data-type]]
==== The `half` Data Type

[open,refpage='halfDataType',desc='The half Data Type',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='the-half-data-type',xrefs='alignmentOfDataTypes otherDataTypes reservedDataTypes scalarDataTypes vectorDataTypes']
--

The `half` data type must be IEEE 754-2008 compliant.
`half` numbers have 1 sign bit, 5 exponent bits, and 10 mantissa bits.
The interpretation of the sign, exponent and mantissa is analogous to IEEE
754 floating-point numbers.
The exponent bias is 15.
The `half` data type must represent finite and normal numbers, denormalized
numbers, infinities and NaN.
Denormalized numbers for the `half` data type which may be generated when
converting a `float` to a `half` using *vstore_half* and converting a `half`
to a `float` using *vload_half* cannot be flushed to zero.
Conversions from `float` to `half` correctly round the mantissa to 11 bits
of precision.
Conversions from `half` to `float` are lossless; all `half` numbers are
exactly representable as `float` values.
Conversions from `double` to `half` are correctly rounded.
Conversions from `half` to `double` are lossless.

The `half` data type can only be used to declare a pointer to a buffer that
contains `half` values.
A few valid examples are given below:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
void
bar (__global half *p)
{
    ...
}

__kernel void
foo (__global half *pg, __local half *pl)
{
    __global half *ptr;
    int offset;

    ptr = pg + offset;
    bar(ptr);
}
----------

Below are some examples that are not valid usage of the `half` type:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
half a;
half b[100];
half *p;
a = *p; //  not allowed. must use *vload_half* function
----------

Loads from a pointer to a `half` and stores to a pointer to a `half` can be
performed using the <<vector-data-load-and-store-functions,vector data load
and store functions>> *vload_half*, *vload_half__n__*, *vloada_halfn* and
*vstore_half*, *vstore_half__n__*, and *vstorea_halfn*.
The load functions read scalar or vector `half` values from memory and
convert them to a scalar or vector `float` value.
The store functions take a scalar or vector `float` value as input, convert
it to a `half` scalar or vector value (with appropriate rounding mode) and
write the `half` scalar or vector value to memory.

=== Built-in Vector Data Types

[open,refpage='vectorDataTypes',desc='Built-in Vector Data Types',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='built-in-vector-data-types',xrefs='alignmentOfDataTypes otherDataTypes reservedDataTypes scalarDataTypes']
--

The `char`, `unsigned char`, `short`, `unsigned short`, `int`, `unsigned int`,
`long`, `unsigned long`, `float` and `double` vector data types are supported.
footnote:[{fn-vector-types}]
The vector data type is defined with the type name, i.e. `char`, `uchar`,
`short`, `ushort`, `int`, `uint`, `long`, `ulong`, `float`, or `double`
followed by a literal value _n_ that defines the number of elements in the
vector.
Supported values of _n_ are 2, 3, 4, 8, and 16 for all vector data types.

NOTE: Vector types with three elements, i.e. where _n_ is 3, <<unified-spec,
require>> support for OpenCL C 1.1 or newer.

[[alignment-of-types]]
=== Alignment of Types

[open,refpage='alignmentOfDataTypes',desc='Alignment of Data Types',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='alignment-of-types',xrefs='otherDataTypes reservedDataTypes scalarDataTypes vectorDataTypes']
--

A data item declared to be a data type in memory is always aligned to the
size of the data type in bytes.
For example, a `float4` variable will be aligned to a 16-byte boundary, a
`char2` variable will be aligned to a 2-byte boundary.

For 3-component vector data types, the size of the data type is `4 *
sizeof(component)`.
This means that a 3-component vector data type will be aligned to a `4 *
sizeof(component)` boundary.
The *vload3* and *vstore3* built-in functions can be used to read and write,
respectively, 3-component vector data types from an array of packed scalar
data type.

A built-in data type that is not a power of two bytes in size must be
aligned to the next larger power of two.
This rule applies to built-in types only, not structs or unions.

The OpenCL compiler is responsible for aligning data items to the
appropriate alignment as required by the data type.
For arguments to a `{kernel}` function declared to be a pointer to a data
type, the OpenCL compiler can assume that the pointee is always
appropriately aligned as required by the data type.
The behavior of an unaligned load or store is undefined, except for the
<<vector-data-load-and-store-functions,vector data load and store
functions>> *vload__n__*, *vload_half__n__*, *vstore__n__*, and
*vstore_half__n__*.
The vector load functions can read a vector from an address aligned to the
element type of the vector.
The vector store functions can write a vector to an address aligned to the
element type of the vector.
--


[[vector-literals]]
=== Vector Literals

Vector literals can be used to create vectors from a list of scalars,
vectors or a mixture thereof.
A vector literal can be used either as a vector initializer or as a primary
expression.
Whether a vector literal can be used as an l-value is implementation-defined.

A vector literal is written as a parenthesized vector type followed by a
parenthesized comma delimited list of parameters.
A vector literal operates as an overloaded function.
The forms of the function that are available is the set of possible argument
lists for which all arguments have the same element type as the result
vector, and the total number of elements is equal to the number of elements
in the result vector.
In addition, a form with a single scalar of the same type as the element
type of the vector is available.
For example, the following forms are available for `float4`:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
(float4)( float, float, float, float )
(float4)( float2, float, float )
(float4)( float, float2, float )
(float4)( float, float, float2 )
(float4)( float2, float2 )
(float4)( float3, float )
(float4)( float, float3 )
(float4)( float )
----------

Operands are evaluated by standard rules for function evaluation, except
that implicit scalar widening shall not occur.
The order in which the operands are evaluated is undefined.
The operands are assigned to their respective positions in the result vector
as they appear in memory order.
That is, the first element of the first operand is assigned to `result.x`,
the second element of the first operand (or the first element of the second
operand if the first operand was a scalar) is assigned to `result.y`, etc.
In the case of the form that has a single scalar operand, the operand is
replicated across all lanes of the vector.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 f = (float4)(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f);
uint4 u = (uint4)(1); //  u will be (1, 1, 1, 1).
float4 f = (float4)((float2)(1.0f, 2.0f), (float2)(3.0f, 4.0f));
float4 f = (float4)(1.0f, (float2)(2.0f, 3.0f), 4.0f);
float4 f = (float4)(1.0f, 2.0f); //  error
----------


[[vector-components]]
=== Vector Components

The components of vector data types can be addressed as
`<vector_data_type>.xyzw`.
Vector data types with two or more components, such as `char2`, can access `.xy` elements.
Vector data types with three or more components, such as `uint3`, can access `.xyz` elements.
Vector data types with four or more components, such as `ulong4` or `float8`, can access `.xyzw` elements.

In OpenCL C 3.0, the components of vector data types can also be addressed as
`<vector_data_type>.rgba`.
Vector data types with two or more components can access `.rg` elements.
Vector data types with three or more components can access `.rgb` elements.
Vector data types with four or more components can access `.rgba` elements.

Accessing components beyond those declared for the vector type is an error
so, for example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float2 coord;
coord.x = 1.0f; // is legal
coord.r = 1.0f; // is legal in OpenCL C 3.0
coord.z = 1.0f; // is illegal, since coord only has two components

float3 pos;
pos.z = 1.0f; // is legal
pos.b = 1.0f; // is legal in OpenCL C 3.0
pos.w = 1.0f; // is illegal, since pos only has three components
----------

The component selection syntax allows multiple components to be selected by
appending their names after the period (*.*).

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 c;

c.xyzw = (float4)(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f);
c.z = 1.0f;
c.xy = (float2)(3.0f, 4.0f);
c.xyz = (float3)(3.0f, 4.0f, 5.0f);
----------

The component selection syntax also allows components to be permuted or
replicated.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 pos = (float4)(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f);

float4 swiz= pos.wzyx; // swiz = (4.0f, 3.0f, 2.0f, 1.0f)

float4 dup = pos.xxyy; // dup = (1.0f, 1.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f)
----------

The component group notation can occur on the left hand side of an
expression.
To form an l-value, swizzling must be applied to an l-value of vector type,
contain no duplicate components, and it results in an l-value of scalar or
vector type, depending on number of components specified.
Each component must be a supported scalar or vector type.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 pos = (float4)(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f);

pos.xw = (float2)(5.0f, 6.0f);// pos = (5.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 6.0f)
pos.wx = (float2)(7.0f, 8.0f);// pos = (8.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 7.0f)
pos.xyz = (float3)(3.0f, 5.0f, 9.0f); // pos = (3.0f, 5.0f, 9.0f, 4.0f)
pos.xx = (float2)(3.0f, 4.0f);// illegal - 'x' used twice

// illegal - mismatch between float2 and float4
pos.xy = (float4)(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f);

float4 a, b, c, d;
float16 x;
x = (float16)(a, b, c, d);
x = (float16)(a.xxxx, b.xyz, c.xyz, d.xyz, a.yzw);

// illegal - component a.xxxxxxx is not a valid vector type
x = (float16)(a.xxxxxxx, b.xyz, c.xyz, d.xyz);
----------

Elements of vector data types can also be accessed using a numeric index to
refer to the appropriate element in the vector.
The numeric indices that can be used are given in the table below:

[[table-vector-indices]]
.Numeric indices for built-in vector data types
[width="100%",cols="<34%,<66%",options="header"]
|====
| Vector Components   | Numeric indices that can be used
| 2-component         | 0, 1
| 3-component         | 0, 1, 2
| 4-component         | 0, 1, 2, 3
| 8-component         | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
| 16-component        | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
                        a, A, b, B, c, C, d, D, e, E, f, F
|====

The numeric indices must be preceded by the letter `s` or `S`.

In the following example

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float8 f;
----------

`f.s0` refers to the 1^st^ element of the `float8` variable `f` and `f.s7`
refers to the 8^th^ element of the `float8` variable `f`.

In the following example

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float16 x;
----------

`x.sa` (or `x.sA`) refers to the 11^th^ element of the `float16` variable
`x` and `x.sf` (or `x.sF`) refers to the 16^th^ element of the `float16`
variable `x`.

The numeric indices used to refer to an appropriate element in the vector
cannot be intermixed with `.xyzw` notation used to access elements of a 1 ..
4 component vector.

For example

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 f, a;

a = f.x12w;       // illegal use of numeric indices with .xyzw

a.xyzw = f.s0123; // valid
----------

Vector data types can use the `.lo` (or `.even`) and `.hi` (or `.odd`)
suffixes to get smaller vector types or to combine smaller vector types to a
larger vector type.
Multiple levels of `.lo` (or `.even`) and `.hi` (or `.odd`) suffixes can be
used until they refer to a scalar term.

The `.lo` suffix refers to the lower half of a given vector.
The `.hi` suffix refers to the upper half of a given vector.

The `.even` suffix refers to the even elements of a vector.
The `.odd` suffix refers to the odd elements of a vector.

Some examples to help illustrate this are given below:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 vf;

float2 low = vf.lo;    // returns vf.xy
float2 high = vf.hi;   // returns vf.zw

float2 even = vf.even; // returns vf.xz
float2 odd = vf.odd;   // returns vf.yw
----------

The suffixes `.lo` (or `.even`) and `.hi` (or `.odd`) for a 3-component
vector type operate as if the 3-component vector type is a 4-component
vector type with the value in the `w` component undefined.

Some examples are given below:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float8 vf;
float4 odd = vf.odd;
float4 even = vf.even;
float2 high = vf.even.hi;
float2 low = vf.odd.lo;

// interleave LR stereo stream
float4 left, right;
float8 interleaved;
interleaved.even = left;
interleaved.odd = right;

// deinterleave
left = interleaved.even;
right = interleaved.odd;

// transpose a 4x4 matrix

void transpose( float4 m[4] )
{
    // read matrix into a float16 vector
    float16 x = (float16)( m[0], m[1], m[2], m[3] );
    float16 t;

    // transpose
    t.even = x.lo;
    t.odd = x.hi;
    x.even = t.lo;
    x.odd = t.hi;

    // write back
    m[0] = x.lo.lo; // { m[0][0], m[1][0], m[2][0], m[3][0] }
    m[1] = x.lo.hi; // { m[0][1], m[1][1], m[2][1], m[3][1] }
    m[2] = x.hi.lo; // { m[0][2], m[1][2], m[2][2], m[3][2] }
    m[3] = x.hi.hi; // { m[0][3], m[1][3], m[2][3], m[3][3] }
}

float3 vf = (float3)(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f);
float2 low = vf.lo; // (1.0f, 2.0f);
float2 high = vf.hi; // (3.0f, _undefined_);
----------

It is illegal to take the address of a vector element and will result in a
compilation error.
For example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float8 vf;

float *f = &vf.x;           // is illegal
float2 *f2 = &vf.s07;       // is illegal

float4 *odd = &vf.odd;      // is illegal
float4 *even = &vf.even;    // is illegal
float2 *high = &vf.even.hi; // is illegal
float2 *low = &vf.odd.lo;   // is illegal
----------


[[aliasing-rules]]
=== Aliasing Rules

OpenCL C programs shall comply with the C99 type-based aliasing rules
defined in <<C99-spec,section 6.5, item 7 of the C99 Specification>>.
The OpenCL C built-in vector data types are considered aggregate types
footnote:[{fn-aggregate-types}] for the purpose of applying these
aliasing rules.

[[keywords]]
=== Keywords

The following names are reserved for use as keywords in OpenCL C and shall
not be used otherwise.

  * Names reserved as keywords by C99.
  * OpenCL C data types defined in <<table-builtin-vector-types,Built-in Vector
    Data Types>>,
    <<table-other-builtin-types,Other Built-in Data Types>>, and
    <<table-reserved-types,Reserved Data Types>>.
  * Address space qualifiers: `{global}`, `global`, `{local}`, `local`,
    `{constant}`, `constant`, `{private}`, and `private`.
    `{generic}` and `generic` are reserved for future use.
  * Function qualifiers: `{kernel}` and `kernel`.
  * Access qualifiers: `{read_only}`, `read_only`, `{write_only}`,
    `write_only`, `{read_write}` and `read_write`.
  * `uniform`, `pipe`.


[[conversions-and-type-casting]]
== Conversions and Type Casting


[[implicit-conversions]]
=== Implicit Conversions

Implicit conversions between scalar built-in types defined in
<<table-builtin-scalar-types,Built-in Scalar Data Types>> (except `void` and
`half` footnote:[{fn-cl_khr_fp16}]) are supported.
When an implicit conversion is done, it is not just a re-interpretation of
the expression's value but a conversion of that value to an equivalent value
in the new type.
For example, the integer value 5 will be converted to the floating-point
value 5.0.

Implicit conversions from a scalar type to a vector type are allowed.
In this case, the scalar may be subject to the usual arithmetic conversion
to the element type used by the vector.
The scalar type is then widened to the vector.

Implicit conversions between built-in vector data types are disallowed.

Implicit conversions for pointer types follow the rules described in the
<<C99-spec,C99 Specification>>.


[[explicit-casts]]
=== Explicit Casts

Standard typecasts for built-in scalar data types defined in
<<table-builtin-scalar-types,Built-in Scalar Data Types>> will perform
appropriate conversion (except `void` and `half` footnote:[{fn-cl_khr_fp16}]).
In the example below:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float f = 1.0f;
int i = (int)f;
----------

`f` stores `0x3F800000` and `i` stores `0x1` which is the floating-point
value `1.0f` in `f` converted to an integer value.

Explicit casts between vector types are not legal.
The examples below will generate a compilation error.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
int4 i;
uint4 u = (uint4) i; //  not allowed

float4 f;
int4 i = (int4) f; //  not allowed

float4 f;
int8 i = (int8) f; //  not allowed
----------

Scalar to vector conversions may be performed by casting the scalar to the
desired vector data type.
Type casting will also perform appropriate arithmetic conversion.
The round to zero rounding mode will be used for conversions to built-in
integer vector types.
The default rounding mode will be used for conversions to floating-point
vector types.
When casting a `bool` to a vector integer data type, the vector components
will be set to -1 (i.e. all bits set) if the bool value is _true_ and 0
otherwise.

Below are some correct examples of explicit casts.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float f = 1.0f;
float4 va = (float4)f;

// va is a float4 vector with elements (f, f, f, f).

uchar u = 0xFF;
float4 vb = (float4)u;

// vb is a float4 vector with elements
// ((float)u, (float)u, (float)u, (float)u).

float f = 2.0f;
int2 vc = (int2)f;

// vc is an int2 vector with elements ((int)f, (int)f).

uchar4 vtrue = (uchar4)true;

// vtrue is a uchar4 vector with elements (0xff, 0xff,
// 0xff, 0xff).
----------


[[explicit-conversions]]
=== Explicit Conversions

Explicit conversions may be performed using the

[source,opencl_c]
----------
convert_destType(sourceType)
----------

suite of functions.
These provide a full set of type conversions between supported
<<built-in-scalar-data-types,scalar>> and
<<built-in-vector-data-types,vector>> data types:

* `char`, `char__n__`, `uchar`, `uchar__n__`
* `short`, `short__n__`, `ushort`, `ushort__n__`
* `int`, `int__n__`, `uint`, `uint__n__`
* `long` footnote:[{fn-int64-supported}], `long__n__`, `ulong`, `ulong__n__`
* `float`, `float__n__`
* `half` footnote:[{fn-half-supported}], `half__n__`
* `double` footnote:[{fn-double-supported}], `double__n__`

The number of elements in the source and destination vectors must match.

In the example below:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
uchar4 u;
int4 c = convert_int4(u);
----------

`convert_int4` converts a `uchar4` vector `u` to an `int4` vector `c`.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float f;
int i = convert_int(f);
----------

`convert_int` converts a `float` scalar `f` to an int scalar `i`.

The behavior of the conversion may be modified by one or two optional
modifiers that specify saturation for out-of-range inputs and rounding
behavior.

The full form of the scalar convert function is:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
destType convert_destType<_sat><_roundingMode>(sourceType)
----------

where `dstType` is the destination scalar type and `sourceType` is the source scalar type.

The full form of the vector convert function is:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
destTypen convert_destTypen<_sat><_roundingMode>(sourceTypen)
----------

where `destTypen` is the n-element destination vector type and `sourceTypen` is the n-element source vector type.


[[data-types]]
==== Data Types

Conversions are available for the following scalar types: `char`, `uchar`,
`short`, `ushort`, `int`, `uint`, `long`, `ulong`, `float`, and built-in
vector types derived therefrom.
The operand and result type must have the same number of elements.
The operand and result type may be the same type in which case the
conversion has no effect on the type or value of an expression.

Conversions between integer types follow the conversion rules specified in
<<C99-spec,sections 6.3.1.1 and 6.3.1.3 of the C99 Specification>> except
for <<out-of-range-behavior,out-of-range behavior and saturated
conversions>>.


[[rounding-modes]]
==== Rounding Modes

Conversions to and from floating-point type shall conform to IEEE-754
rounding rules.
Conversions may have an optional rounding mode modifier described in the
following table.

[[table-rounding-mode]]
.Rounding Modes
[cols=",",options="header",]
|====
| Modifier              | Rounding Mode Description
| `_rte`                | Round to nearest even
| `_rtz`                | Round toward zero
| `_rtp`                | Round toward positive infinity
| `_rtn`                | Round toward negative infinity
| no modifier specified | Use the default rounding mode for this destination
                          type, `_rtz` for conversion to integers or the
                          default rounding mode for conversion to
                          floating-point types.
|====

By default, conversions to integer type use the `_rtz` (round toward zero)
rounding mode and conversions to floating-point type
footnote:[{fn-float-conversion-rounding}] use the default rounding mode.
The only default floating-point rounding mode supported is round to nearest
even i.e the default rounding mode will be `_rte` for floating-point types.


[[out-of-range-behavior]]
==== Out-of-Range Behavior and Saturated Conversions

When the conversion operand is either greater than the greatest
representable destination value or less than the least representable
destination value, it is said to be out-of-range.
The result of out-of-range conversion is determined by the conversion rules
specified by <<C99-spec,section 6.3 of the C99 Specification>>.
When converting from a floating-point type to integer type, the behavior is
implementation-defined.

Conversions to integer type may opt to convert using the optional saturated
mode by appending the _sat modifier to the conversion function name.
When in saturated mode, values that are outside the representable range
shall clamp to the nearest representable value in the destination format.
(NaN should be converted to 0).

Conversions to floating-point type shall conform to IEEE-754 rounding rules.
The `_sat` modifier may not be used for conversions to floating-point
formats.


[[explicit-conversion-examples]]
==== Explicit Conversion Examples

Example 1:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
short4 s;

// negative values clamped to 0
ushort4 u = convert_ushort4_sat( s );

// values > CHAR_MAX converted to CHAR_MAX
// values < CHAR_MIN converted to CHAR_MIN
char4 c = convert_char4_sat( s );
----------

Example 2:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 f;

// values implementation-defined for
// f > INT_MAX, f < INT_MIN or NaN
int4 i = convert_int4( f );

// values > INT_MAX clamp to INT_MAX, values < INT_MIN clamp
// to INT_MIN. NaN should produce 0.
// The _rtz_ rounding mode is used to produce the integer values.
int4 i2 = convert_int4_sat( f );

// similar to convert_int4, except that floating-point values
// are rounded to the nearest integer instead of truncated
int4 i3 = convert_int4_rte( f );

// similar to convert_int4_sat, except that floating-point values
// are rounded to the nearest integer instead of truncated
int4 i4 = convert_int4_sat_rte( f );
----------

Example 3:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
int4 i;

// convert ints to floats using the default rounding mode.
float4 f = convert_float4( i );

// convert ints to floats. integer values that cannot
// be exactly represented as floats should round up to the
// next representable float.
float4 f = convert_float4_rtp( i );
----------


[[reinterpreting-data-as-another-type]]
=== Reinterpreting Data as Another Type

It is frequently necessary to reinterpret bits in a data type as another
data type in OpenCL.
This is typically required when direct access to the bits in a
floating-point type is needed, for example to mask off the sign bit or make
use of the result of a vector <<operators-relational,relational operator>>
on floating-point data footnote:[{fn-float-reinterpretation}].
Several methods to achieve this (non-) conversion are frequently practiced
in C, including pointer aliasing, unions and memcpy.
Of these, only memcpy is strictly correct in C99.
Since OpenCL does not provide *memcpy*, other methods are needed.

[[reinterpreting-types-using-unions]]
==== Reinterpreting Types Using Unions

The OpenCL language extends the union to allow the program to access a
member of a union object using a member of a different type.
The relevant bytes of the representation of the object are treated as an
object of the type used for the access.
If the type used for access is larger than the representation of the object,
then the value of the additional bytes is undefined.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// d only if double-precision is supported
union { float f; uint u; double d; } u;

u.u = 1;    // u.f contains 2**-149.  u.d is undefined --
            // depending on endianness the low or high half
            // of d is unknown

u.f = 1.0f; // u.u contains 0x3f800000, u.d contains an
            // undefined value -- depending on endianness
            // the low or high half of d is unknown

u.d = 1.0;  // u.u contains 0x3ff00000 (big endian) or 0
            // (little endian). u.f contains either 0x1.ep0f
            // (big endian) or 0.0f (little endian)
----------


[[reinterpreting-types-using-as_type-and-as_typen]]
==== Reinterpreting Types Using *as_type*() and *as_type__n__*()

[open,refpage='as_typen',desc='Reinterpreting Types',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='reinterpreting-types-using-as_type-and-as_typen',xrefs='convert_T scalarDataTypes vectorDataTypes']
--
All data types described in <<table-builtin-scalar-types,Built-in Scalar Data
Types>> and <<table-builtin-vector-types,Built-in Vector Data Types>> (except
`bool`, `void`, and `half` footnote:[{fn-cl_khr_fp16}]) may be also
reinterpreted as another data type of the same size using the *as_type*()
operator for scalar data types and the *as_type__n__*() operator
footnote:[{fn-reinterpret-vector-types}] for vector data types.
When the operand and result type contain the same number of elements, the
bits in the operand shall be returned directly without modification as the
new type.
The usual type promotion for function arguments shall not be performed.

For example, `*as_float*(0x3f800000)` returns `1.0f`, which is the value
that the bit pattern `0x3f800000` has if viewed as an IEEE-754 single
precision value.

When the operand and result type contain a different number of elements, the
result shall be implementation-defined except if the operand is a
4-component vector and the result is a 3-component vector.
In this case, the bits in the operand shall be returned directly without
modification as the new type.
That is, a conforming implementation shall explicitly define a behavior, but
two conforming implementations need not have the same behavior when the
number of elements in the result and operand types does not match.
The implementation may define the result to contain all, some or none of the
original bits in whatever order it chooses.
It is an error to use *as_type*() or *as_type__n__*() operator to
reinterpret data to a type of a different number of bytes.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float f = 1.0f;
uint u = as_uint(f); // Legal. Contains:  0x3f800000

float4 f = (float4)(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f);
// Legal. Contains:
// (int4)(0x3f800000, 0x40000000, 0x40400000, 0x40800000)
int4 i = as_int4(f);

float4 f, g;
int4  is_less = f < g;

// Legal. f[i] = f[i] < g[i] ? f[i] : 0.0f
f = as_float4(as_int4(f) & is_less);

int i;
// Legal. Result is implementation-defined.
short2 j = as_short2(i);

int4 i;
// Legal. Result is implementation-defined.
short8 j = as_short8(i);

float4 f;
// Error. Result and operand have different sizes
double4 g = as_double4(f); // Only if double-precision is supported.

float4 f;
// Legal. g.xyz will have same values as f.xyz. g.w is undefined
float3 g = as_float3(f);
----------
--


[[pointer-casting]]
=== Pointer Casting

Pointers to old and new types may be cast back and forth to each other.
Casting a pointer to a new type represents an unchecked assertion that the
address is correctly aligned.
The developer will also need to know the endianness of the OpenCL device and
the endianness of the data to determine how the scalar and vector data
elements are stored in memory.


[[usual-arithmetic-conversions]]
=== Usual Arithmetic Conversions

Many operators that expect operands of arithmetic type cause conversions and
yield result types in a similar way.
The purpose is to determine a common real type for the operands and result.
For the specified operands, each operand is converted, without change of
type domain, to a type whose corresponding real type is the common real
type.
For this purpose, all vector types shall be considered to have higher
conversion ranks than scalars.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the common real type is also the
corresponding real type of the result, whose type domain is the type domain
of the operands if they are the same, and complex otherwise.
This pattern is called the usual arithmetic conversions.
If the operands are of more than one vector type, then an error shall occur.
<<implicit-conversions,Implicit conversions>> between vector types are not
permitted.

Otherwise, if there is only a single vector type, and all other operands are
scalar types, the scalar types are converted to the type of the vector
element, then widened into a new vector containing the same number of
elements as the vector, by duplication of the scalar value across the width
of the new vector.
An error shall occur if any scalar operand has greater rank than the type of
the vector element.
For this purpose, the rank order defined as follows:

  . The rank of a floating-point type is greater than the rank of another
    floating-point type, if the first floating-point type can exactly
    represent all numeric values in the second floating-point type.
    (For this purpose, the encoding of the floating-point value is used,
    rather than the subset of the encoding usable by the device.)
  . The rank of any floating-point type is greater than the rank of any
    integer type.
  . The rank of an integer type is greater than the rank of an integer type
    with less precision.
  . The rank of an unsigned integer type is *greater than* the rank of a
    signed integer type with the same precision
    footnote:[{fn-integer-conversion-rank}].
  . The rank of the bool type is less than the rank of any other type.
  . The rank of an enumerated type shall equal the rank of the compatible
    integer type.
  . For all types, `T1`, `T2` and `T3`, if `T1` has greater rank than `T2`,
    and `T2` has greater rank than `T3`, then `T1` has greater rank than
    `T3`.

Otherwise, if all operands are scalar, the usual arithmetic conversions
apply, per <<C99-spec,section 6.3.1.8 of the C99 Specification>>.

[NOTE]
====
Both the standard orderings in <<C99-spec,sections 6.3.1.8 and 6.3.1.1 of
the C99 Specification>> were examined and rejected.
Had we used integer conversion rank here, `int4 + 0U` would have been legal
and had `int4` return type.
Had we used standard C99 usual arithmetic conversion rules for scalars, then
the standard integer promotion would have been performed on vector integer
element types and `short8 + char` would either have return type of `int8` or
be illegal.

[[operators-arithmetic]]
=== Arithmetic Operators

[open,refpage='arithmeticOperators',desc='Arithmetic Operators',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-arithmetic',xrefs='operators']
--
The arithmetic operators add (*+++*), subtract (*-*), multiply (*+*+*) and
divide (*/*) operate on built-in integer and floating-point scalar, and
vector data types.
The arithmetic operator remainder (*%*) operates on built-in integer scalar
and integer vector data types.
All arithmetic operators return result of the same built-in type (integer or
floating-point) as the type of the operands, after operand type conversion.
After conversion, the following cases are valid:

  * The two operands are scalars.
    In this case, the operation is applied, resulting in a scalar.
  * One operand is a scalar, and the other is a vector.
    In this case, the scalar may be subject to the usual arithmetic
    conversion to the element type used by the vector operand.
    The scalar type is then widened to a vector that has the same number of
    components as the vector operand.
    The operation is done component-wise resulting in the same size vector.
  * The two operands are vectors of the same type.
    In this case, the operation is done component-wise resulting in the same
    size vector.

All other cases of implicit conversions are illegal.
Division on integer types which results in a value that lies outside of the
range bounded by the maximum and minimum representable values of the integer
type will not cause an exception but will result in an unspecified value.
A divide by zero with integer types does not cause an exception but will
result in an unspecified value.
Division by zero for floating-point types will result in {plusmn}{inf} or
NaN as prescribed by the IEEE-754 standard.
Use the built-in functions *dot* and *cross* to get, respectively, the
vector dot product and the vector cross product.

[[operators-unary]]
=== Unary Operators

[[operators-prepost]]
=== Pre- and Post-Operators

[open,refpage='prePostOperators',desc='Pre- and Post-Operators',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-prepost',xrefs='operators']
--
The arithmetic post- and pre-increment and decrement operators (*--* and
*++*) operate on built-in scalar and vector types except the built-in scalar
and vector `float` types footnote:[{fn-float-increment-decrement}].
All unary operators work component-wise on their operands.
These result with the same type they operated on.
For post- and pre-increment and decrement, the expression must be one that
could be assigned to (an l-value).
Pre-increment and pre-decrement add or subtract 1 to the contents of the
expression they operate on, and the value of the pre-increment or
pre-decrement expression is the resulting value of that modification.
Post-increment and post-decrement expressions add or subtract 1 to the
contents of the expression they operate on, but the resulting expression has
the expression's value before the post-increment or post-decrement was
executed.

After operand type conversion, the following cases are valid:

  * The two operands are scalars.
    In this case, the operation is applied, resulting in an `int` scalar.
  * One operand is a scalar, and the other is a vector.
    In this case, the scalar may be subject to the usual arithmetic
    conversion to the element type used by the vector operand.

    components as the vector operand.
    The operation is done component-wise resulting in the same size vector.
  * The two operands are vectors of the same type.
    In this case, the operation is done component-wise resulting in the same

source operands of type `long__n__`, `ulong__n__` and `double__n__` return a
`long__n__` result.

For scalar types, the relational operators shall return 0 if the specified
relation is _false_ and return 1 if the specified relation is _true_.
For vector types, the relational operators shall return 0 if the specified
relation is _false_ and return -1 (i.e. all bits set) if the specified

The relational operators always return 0 if either argument is not a number
(NaN).

--
The equality operators equal (*==*) and not equal (*!=*) operate on
built-in scalar and vector types footnote:[{fn-relational-any-all}].
All equality operators result in an integer type.
After operand type conversion, the following cases are valid:

  * The two operands are scalars.
    In this case, the operation is applied, resulting in a scalar.
  * One operand is a scalar, and the other is a vector.
    In this case, the scalar may be subject to the usual arithmetic
    conversion to the element type used by the vector operand.

relation is _false_ and return 1 if the specified relation is _true_.
For vector types, the equality operators shall return 0 if the specified
relation is _false_ and return -1 (i.e. all bits set) if the specified
relation is _true_.
The equality operator equal (*==*) returns 0 if one or both arguments are
not a number (NaN).
The equality operator not equal (*!=*) returns 1 (for scalar source
operands) or -1 (for vector source operands) if one or both arguments are
not a number (NaN).

[[operators-bitwise]]
=== Bitwise Operators

[open,refpage='bitwiseOperators',desc='Bitwise Operators',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-bitwise',xrefs='operators']
--
The bitwise operators and (*&*), or (*|*), exclusive or (*^*), and not
(*+~+*) operate on all scalar and vector built-in types except the built-in
scalar and vector `float` types.
For vector built-in types, the operators are applied component-wise.
If one operand is a scalar and the other is a vector, the scalar may be
subject to the usual arithmetic conversion to the element type used by the

The operation is done component-wise resulting in the same size vector.
ifdef::cl_khr_fp16[]
Vector source operands of type `_half__n__` footnote:[{fn-half-supported}]

[[operators-logical]]
=== Logical Operators

[open,refpage='logicalOperators',desc='Logical Operators',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-logical',xrefs='operators']
--
The logical operators and (*&&*) and or (*||*) operate on all scalar and
vector built-in types.
For scalar built-in types only, and (*&&*) will only evaluate the right hand
operand if the left hand operand compares unequal to 0.
For scalar built-in types only, or (*||*) will only evaluate the right hand
operand if the left hand operand compares equal to 0.
For built-in vector types, both operands are evaluated and the operators are
applied component-wise.
If one operand is a scalar and the other is a vector, the scalar may be
subject to the usual arithmetic conversion to the element type used by the
vector operand.
The scalar type is then widened to a vector that has the same number of
components as the vector operand.
The operation is done component-wise resulting in the same size vector.

The logical operator exclusive or (*^^*) is reserved.

The result is a scalar signed integer of type `int` if the source operands
are scalar and a vector signed integer type of the same size as the source
operands if the source operands are vector types.
Vector source operands of type `char__n__` and `uchar__n__` return a

[[operators-logical-unary]]
=== Unary Logical Operator

[open,refpage='unaryLogicalOperator',desc='Unary Logical Operator',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-logical-unary',xrefs='operators']
--
The logical unary operator not (*!*) operates on all scalar and vector
built-in types.
For built-in vector types, the operators are applied component-wise.

The result is a scalar signed integer of type `int` if the source operands
are scalar and a vector signed integer type of the same size as the source
operands if the source operands are vector types.
Vector source operands of type `char__n__` and `uchar__n__` return a

For scalar types, the logical unary operator shall return 0 if the value of
its operand compares unequal to 0, and return 1 if the value of its operand
compares equal to 0.
For vector types, the unary operator shall return 0 if the value of its
operand compares unequal to 0, and return -1 (i.e. all bits set) if the
value of its operand compares equal to 0.
--


[[operators-ternary-selection]]
=== Ternary Selection Operator

[open,refpage='selectionOperator',desc='Ternary Selection Operator',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-ternary-selection',xrefs='operators']
--
The ternary selection operator (*?:*) operates on three expressions (_exp1_
*?* _exp2_ *:* _exp3_).
This operator evaluates the first expression _exp1_, which can be a scalar
or vector result except `float`.
If all three expressions are scalar values, the C99 rules for ternary
operator are followed.
If the result is a vector value, then this is equivalent to calling
*select*(_exp3_, _exp2_, _exp1_).
The *select* function is described in <<table-builtin-relational,Built-in Scalar
and Vector Relational Functions>>.
The second and third expressions can be any type, as long their types match,
or there is an <<implicit-conversions,implicit conversion>> that can be
applied to one of the expressions to make their types match, or one is a
vector and the other is a scalar and the scalar may be subject to the usual
arithmetic conversion to the element type used by the vector operand and
widened to the same type as the vector type.
This resulting matching type is the type of the entire expression.
--


[[operators-shift]]
=== Shift Operators

[open,refpage='shiftOperators',desc='Shift Operators',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-shift',xrefs='operators']
--
The operators right-shift (*>>*), left-shift (*<<*) operate on all scalar
and vector built-in types except the built-in scalar and vector `float`
types.
For built-in vector types, the operators are applied component-wise.
For the right-shift (*>>*), left-shift (*<<*) operators, the rightmost
operand must be a scalar if the first operand is a scalar, and the rightmost
operand can be a vector or scalar if the first operand is a vector.

The result of `E1` *<<* `E2` is `E1` left-shifted by log~2~(N) least significant
bits in `E2` viewed as an unsigned integer value, where N is the number of bits
used to represent the data type of `E1` after integer promotion
footnote:[{fn-integer-promotion}], if `E1` is a scalar, or the number of bits
used to represent the type of `E1` elements, if `E1` is a vector.
The vacated bits are filled with zeros.

The result of `E1` *>>* `E2` is `E1` right-shifted by log~2~(N) least
significant bits in `E2` viewed as an unsigned integer value, where N is the
number of bits used to represent the data type of `E1` after integer
promotion, if `E1` is a scalar, or the number of bits used to represent the
type of `E1` elements, if `E1` is a vector.
If `E1` has an unsigned type or if `E1` has a signed type and a nonnegative
value, the vacated bits are filled with zeros.
If `E1` has a signed type and a negative value, the vacated bits are filled
with ones.
--


[[operators-sizeof]]
=== Sizeof Operator

[open,refpage='sizeofOperator',desc='Sizeof Operator',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-sizeof',xrefs='operators']
--
The `sizeof` operator yields the size (in bytes) of its operand, including
any <<alignment-of-types,padding bytes needed for alignment>>, which may be
an expression or the parenthesized name of a type.
The size is determined from the type of the operand.
The result is of type `size_t`.
If the type of the operand is a variable length array
footnote:[{fn-variable-length-array-restriction}] type, the operand is
evaluated; otherwise, the operand is not evaluated and the result is an integer
constant.

When applied to an operand that has type `char` or `uchar`, the result is 1.
When applied to an operand that has type `short`, `ushort`, or `half` the
result is 2.
When applied to an operand that has type `int`, `uint` or `float`, the
result is 4.
When applied to an operand that has type `long`, `ulong` or `double`, the
result is 8.
When applied to an operand that is a vector type, the result is the number of
components times the size of each scalar component footnote:[{fn-vec3-size}].
When applied to an operand that has array type, the result is the total
number of bytes in the array.
When applied to an operand that has structure or union type, the result is
the total number of bytes in such an object, including internal and trailing
padding.
The `sizeof` operator shall not be applied to an expression that has
function type or an incomplete type, to the parenthesized name of such a
type, or to an expression that designates a bit-field struct member
footnote:[{fn-bitfield-struct-restriction}].

The behavior of applying the `sizeof` operator to the `bool`, `image2d_t`,
`image3d_t`, `image2d_array_t`, `image1d_t`, `image1d_buffer_t`,
`image1d_array_t`, `image2d_depth_t`, `image2d_array_depth_t`,
`sampler_t`, `queue_t`, `ndrange_t`, `clk_event_t`, `reserve_id_t`, and
`event_t` types is implementation-defined.  Additionally, the behavior of
applying the `sizeof` operator to a pipe object (a type with the `pipe` type
specifier keyword) is implementation-defined.
--


[[operators-comma]]
=== Comma Operator

[open,refpage='commaOperator',desc='Comma Operator',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-comma',xrefs='operators']
--
The comma (*,*) operator operates on expressions by returning the type and
value of the right-most expression in a comma separated list of expressions.
All expressions are evaluated, in order, from left to right.
--


[[operators-indirection]]
=== Indirection Operator

[open,refpage='indirectionOperator',desc='Indirection Operator',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-indirection',xrefs='operators']
--
The unary (*+*+*) operator denotes indirection.
If the operand points to an object, the result is an l-value designating the
object.
If the operand has type "pointer to __type__", the result has type
"__type__".
If an invalid value has been assigned to the pointer, the behavior of the unary
*+*+* operator is undefined footnote:[{fn-pointer-invalid-value-indirection}].
--


[[operators-address]]
=== Address Operator

[open,refpage='addressOperator',desc='Address Operator',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-address',xrefs='operators']
--
The unary (*&*) operator returns the address of its operand.
If the operand has type "__type__", the result has type "pointer to
__type__".
If the operand is the result of a unary *+*+* operator, neither that operator
nor the *&* operator is evaluated and the result is as if both were omitted,
except that the constraints on the operators still apply and the result is
not an l-value.
Similarly, if the operand is the result of a *[]* operator, neither the *&*
operator nor the unary *+*+* that is implied by the *[]* is evaluated and the
result is as if the *&* operator were removed and the *[]* operator were
changed to a *+* operator.
Otherwise, the result is a pointer to the object designated by its
operand footnote:[{fn-address-operator-result}].
--


[[operators-assignment]]
=== Assignment Operator

[open,refpage='assignmentOperator',desc='Assignment Operator',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='operators-assignment',xrefs='operators']
--
Assignments of values to variable names are done with the assignment
operator (*=*), like

[none]
* _lvalue_ = _expression_

The assignment operator stores the value of _expression_ into _lvalue_.
The _expression_ and _lvalue_ must have the same type, or the expression must
have a type in <<table-builtin-scalar-types,Built-in Scalar Data Types>>, in
which case an implicit conversion will be done on the expression before the
assignment is done.

If _expression_ is a scalar type and _lvalue_ is a vector type, the scalar
is converted to the element type used by the vector operand.
The scalar type is then widened to a vector that has the same number of
components as the vector operand.
The operation is done component-wise resulting in the same size vector.

Any other desired type-conversions must be specified explicitly.
L-values must be writable.
Variables that are built-in types, entire structures or arrays, structure
fields, l-values with the field selector (*.*) applied to select components
or swizzles without repeated fields, l-values within parentheses, and
l-values dereferenced with the array subscript operator (*[]*) are all
l-values.
Other binary or unary expressions, function names, swizzles with repeated
fields, and constants cannot be l-values.
The ternary operator (*?:*) is also not allowed as an l-value.

The order of evaluation of the operands is unspecified.
If an attempt is made to modify the result of an assignment operator or to
access it after the next sequence point, the behavior is undefined.
Other assignment operators are the assignments add into (**+=**), subtract
from (*-=*), multiply into (*=*), divide into (*/=*), modulus into (*%=*),
left shift by (*<\<=*), right shift by (*>>=*), and into (*&=*), inclusive
or into (*|=*), and exclusive or into (*^=*).

The expression

[none]
* _lvalue_ __op__ *=* _expression_

is equivalent to

[none]
* _lvalue_ = _lvalue_ _op_ _expression_

and the _lvalue_ and _expression_ must satisfy the requirements for both
operator _op_ and assignment (*=*).

[NOTE]
====
Except for the `sizeof` operator, the `half` data type cannot be used with
any of the operators described in this section.

[[vector-operations]]
== Vector Operations

Vector operations are component-wise.
Usually, when an operator operates on a vector, it is operating
independently on each component of the vector, in a component-wise fashion.

For example,

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 v, u;
float f;

v = u + f;
----------

will be equivalent to

[source,opencl_c]
----------
v.x = u.x + f;
v.y = u.y + f;
v.z = u.z + f;
v.w = u.w + f;
----------

And

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4 v, u, w;

w = v + u;
----------

will be equivalent to

[source,opencl_c]
----------
w.x = v.x + u.x;
w.y = v.y + u.y;
w.z = v.z + u.z;
w.w = v.w + u.w;
----------

and likewise for most operators and all integer and floating-point vector
types.


[[address-space-qualifiers]]
== Address Space Qualifiers

[open,refpage='addressSpaceQualifiers',desc='Address Space Qualifiers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='address-space-qualifiers',xrefs='constant genericAddressSpace global local private']
--

OpenCL C has a hierarchical memory architecture represented by address spaces, as
defined in section 5 of <<embedded-c-spec, the Embedded C Specification>>. It
extends the C syntax to allow an address space name as a valid type qualifier
(section 5.1.2 of <<embedded-c-spec, the Embedded C Specification>>).
OpenCL implements disjoint named address spaces with the spelling
`{global}`, `{local}`, `{constant}` and `{private}`.
The address space qualifier may be used in variable declarations to specify
the region where objects are to be allocated. If the type of an
object is qualified by an address space name, the object is allocated in the
specified address space. Similarly, for pointers, the type pointed to can be qualified
by an address space signaling the address space where the object pointed to is located.

The address space name spelling without the `+__+` prefix, i.e. `global`,
`local`, `constant` and `private`, are valid and may be substituted for the
corresponding address space names with the `+__+` prefix.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// declares a pointer p in the global address space that
// points to an object in the global address space
__global int *__global p;

void foo (...)
{
    // declares an array of 4 floats in the private address space
    __private float x[4];
    ...
}
----------

For OpenCL C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 with the {opencl_c_generic_address_space}
feature macro, there is an additional unnamed generic address space.

Most of the restrictions from section 5.1.2 and section 5.3 of the
<<embedded-c-spec, Embedded C Specification>> apply in OpenCL C, e.g. address
spaces can not be used with a return type, a function parameter, or a function
type, and multiple address space qualifiers are not allowed. However, in OpenCL
C it is allowed to qualify local variables with an address space qualifier.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// OK.
int f() { ... }

// Error. Address space qualifier cannot be used with a non-pointer return type.
private int f() { ... }

// OK. Address space qualifier can be used with a pointer return type.
local int *f() { ... }

// Error. Multiple address spaces specified for a type.
private local int i;

// OK. The first address space qualifies the object pointed to and the second
// qualifies the pointer.
private int *local ptr;
----------

The `{global}`, `{constant}`, `{local}`, `{private}`, `global`,
`constant`, `local`, and `private` names are reserved for use as address
space qualifiers and shall not be used otherwise.
The `{generic}` and `generic` names are reserved for future use.

[NOTE]
====
The size of pointers to different address spaces may differ.
It is not correct to assume that, for example, `+sizeof(__global int *)+`
always equals `+sizeof(__local int *)+`.

[[global-or-global]]
=== `{global}` (or `global`)

[open,refpage='global',desc='global Address Space Qualifiers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='global-or-global',xrefs='addressSpaceQualifiers constant genericAddressSpace local private']
--

The `{global}` or `global` address space name is used to refer to memory
objects (buffer or image objects) allocated from the `global` memory pool.

A buffer memory object can be declared as a pointer to a scalar, vector or
user-defined struct.
This allows the kernel to read and/or write any location in the buffer.

The actual size of the memory object is determined when the memory
object is allocated via appropriate API calls in the host code.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
global float4 *color; // An array of float4 elements

typedef struct {
    float a[3];
    int b[2];
} foo_t;

global foo_t *my_info; // An array of foo_t elements
----------

As image objects are always allocated from the `global` address space, the
`{global}` or `global` qualifier should not be specified for image types.
The elements of an image object cannot be directly accessed.
Built-in functions to read from and write to an image object are provided.

Variables at program scope or `static` or `extern` variables inside functions
can be declared in global address space if the
{opencl_c_program_scope_global_variables} feature is supported. These
variables in the `global` address space have the same lifetime as the program,
and their values persist between calls to any of the kernels in the program.
They are not shared across devices and have distinct storage.

[[local-or-local]]
=== `{local}` (or `local`)

[open,refpage='local',desc='local Address Space Qualifiers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='local-or-local',xrefs='addressSpaceQualifiers constant genericAddressSpace global private']
--

The `{local}` or `local` address space name is used to describe variables that
are allocated in local memory and shared by all work-items in a work-group.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void my_func(...)
{
    local float a;     // A single float allocated
                       // in the local address space

    local float b[10]; // An array of 10 floats
                       // allocated in the local address space
}
----------
[NOTE]
====
Variables allocated in the `{local}` address space inside a kernel
function are allocated for each work-group executing the kernel and exist
only for the lifetime of the work-group executing the kernel.
====

--

[[constant-or-constant]]
=== `{constant}` (or `constant`)

[open,refpage='constant',desc='constant Address Space Qualifiers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='constant-or-constant',xrefs='addressSpaceQualifiers genericAddressSpace global local private']
--

The `{constant}` or `constant` address space name is used to describe
read-only variables that are accessible globally. They may
be declared in program scope or in the outermost kernel scope or inside
 functions with a `static` or `extern` storage class specifier. Such variables
 can be accessed by all work-items or by different kernels during the program execution.

[NOTE]
====
Each argument to a kernel that is a pointer to the `{constant}` address
space is counted separately towards the maximum number of such arguments,
defined as the value of the <<opencl-device-queries,
{CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_ARGS} device query>>.
====

It is illegal to write to a variable in the constant address space and will
result in a compilation error.

Example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
constant int a = 3; // int allocated in the constant address space
kernel void k1(global int *buf)
{
    buf[a] = ...;   // OK. All work items access element with index 3.
}
kernel void k2(global int *buf)
{
    *buf = a;       // OK. All work items store value 3.
    a = 42;         // Error. a is in constant memory.
}
----------

Implementations are not required to aggregate these declarations into the
fewest number of constant arguments. This behavior is implementation-defined.

Thus portable code must conservatively assume that each variable declared
inside a function or in program scope allocated in the `{constant}`
address space counts as a separate constant argument.
--

[[private-or-private]]
=== `{private}` (or `private`)

[open,refpage='private',desc='private Address Space Qualifiers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='private-or-private',xrefs='addressSpaceQualifiers constant genericAddressSpace global local']
--
The private address space is a memory segment that can only be accessed by one
work item. Variables that are not shareable among work items are allocated in
the private address space, and it is the default address space for most
variables, in particular variables with automatic storage duration.

Example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void foo(...)
{
    private int i;
}
----------

[[the-generic-address-space]]
=== The Generic Address Space

[open,refpage='genericAddressSpace',desc='The Generic Address Space',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='the-generic-address-space',xrefs='addressSpaceQualifiers constant global local private']
--

The generic address space requires support for OpenCL C 2.0 or OpenCL C 3.0 with
the {opencl_c_generic_address_space} feature. It can be used with pointer
types and it represents a placeholder for any of the named address spaces
- `global`, `local` or `private`. It signals that a pointer points to an object
in one of these concrete named address spaces. The exact address space
resolution can occur dynamically during the kernel execution.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void foo(int a)
{
    private int b;
    local int c;
    int* p =  a ? &b : &c; // p points to the local or private address space.
}
----------

--

=== Usage for Declaration Scopes and Variable Types
--
This section describes use of address space qualifiers with respect to
declaration scopes or variable types.

Local variables inside functions can be qualified by the private address space
qualifier.

Variables declared in the outermost compound statement inside the body of the
kernel function can be qualified by the local or constant address spaces.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void my_func(...)
{
    private float a;    // OK.
    local float b;      // OK.

    if (...)
    {
        // Example of variable in __local address space but not
        // declared at __kernel function scope.
        local float c;  // Error.
    }
}
----------

Program scope variables or variables with a `extern` or `static` storage class
specifier:

  * Must be qualified by `{constant}` in OpenCL C prior to 2.0 or OpenCL C 3.0
    without {opencl_c_program_scope_global_variables} feature.
  * Can be qualified by either `{constant}` or `{global}` for OpenCL C 2.0 or
    OpenCL C 3.0 with {opencl_c_program_scope_global_variables} feature.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_program_scope_global_variables feature macro.

constant int foo;       // OK.
global int baz;         // OK.
global uchar buf[512];  // OK.

static global int bat;  // OK. Internal linkage.

extern constant int foo;  // OK.

void func(...)
{
    constant static int foo = 1; // OK.
    global extern int foo;       // OK.
}

global int *global ptr;           // OK.
constant int *global ptr = &baz;  // Error, baz is in the global address space.
global int *constant ptr = &baz;  // OK.
----------

Kernel function arguments declared to be a pointer or an array of a type
must point to one of the named address spaces `{global}`, `{local}` or
`{constant}`.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
 // OK.
kernel void my_kernel(global int *ptr)
{
    ...
}
 // Error, ptr must point to the global, local, or constant address space.
kernel void my_kernel(int *ptr)
{
    ...
}
----------
--

=== Initialization
--
Program scope and `static` variables in the `{global}` address space are zero
initialized by default. A constant expression may be given as an initializer.

Variables allocated in the `{local}` address space inside a kernel function
cannot be initialized.

Variables allocated in the `{constant}` address space are required to be initialized
and the values used to initialize these variables must be a compile time constant.

Private address space objects are not initialized by default; any initializer is
allowed to be given.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
global int a = 12;      // Initialization is allowed.
global int b;           // Zero initialized.
constant int c = 12;    // Initializer is a compile time constant.
constant int d;         // Error. No initializer provided.
kernel void my_func(...)
{
    local float e = 1;  // Error. Initializer is not allowed.

    local float f;
    f = 1;              // Allowed
    private int g;      // Uninitialized.
    constant int h = g; // Error. Initializer is not a constant expression.
}
----------

--

[[addr-spaces-inference]]
=== Inference

--
Address space qualifiers are not required in many cases. If they are not
specified explicitly the default address space will be inferred depending
on the declaration scope and the object type.

There is no syntax to provide address space in the source for some situations,
therefore only the default address space is applicable.

For OpenCL C 2.0 or with the {opencl_c_program_scope_global_variables}
feature, the address space for a variable at program scope or a `static`
or `extern` variable inside a function are inferred to be `{global}`.

If the generic address space is supported i.e. for OpenCL C 2.0 or OpenCL C 3.0
with {opencl_c_generic_address_space} feature, pointers that are declared
without pointing to a named address space point to the generic address space.

All string literal storage shall be in the `{constant}` address space.

For all other cases that are not listed above the address space is inferred to
`{private}`. This includes:

  * All function arguments as well as return values are in the private address
    space.

  * Pointers that are declared without pointing to a named address space point
    to the `{private}` address space if the generic address space is not
    supported.

  * Variables inside a function not declared with an address space qualifier
    are inferred to be in the private address space.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_program_scope_global_variables feature macro.

int foo;                // Inferred to be in the global address space.

static int foo;         // Inferred to be in the global address space.

int *ptr;               // ptr is inferred to be in the global address space.
                        // ptr points to a location in (1) the generic address
                        // space for OpenCL C 2.0 or OpenCL C 3.0 with
                        // __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature or
                        // in (2) the private address space otherwise.

int *global ptr;        // ptr is declared to be in the global address space.
                        // ptr points to an location in (1) the generic address
                        // space for OpenCL C 2.0 or OpenCL C 3.0 with
                        // __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature or
                        // in (2) the private address space otherwise.

constant int *ptr =
               "Hello"; // string literal is in constant address space.

void func(int param)    // param is allocated in the private address space.
{
    int foo;            // foo is allocated in the private address space.
    static int foo;     // foo is allocated in the global address space.
    int *ptr;           // ptr is allocated in the private address space.
                        // ptr points to a location in (1) the generic address
                        // space for OpenCL C 2.0 or OpenCL C 3.0 with
                        // __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature or
                        // in (2) the private address space otherwise.
    ...
}
----------

[NOTE]
====
Qualifiers must be explicitly specified for:

  * Program scope variables or variables inside functions with
    a `static` or `extern` type specifier for OpenCL C prior to version 2.0 or
    OpenCL C 3.0 without {opencl_c_program_scope_global_variables} feature,

  * Pointers used as arguments to kernel functions (the address space pointed
    to must be specified explicitly).

[[addr-spaces-conversions]]
=== Address Space Conversions

--

OpenCL implements the address space nesting model for pointers from
<<embedded-c-spec, Embedded C, section 5.1.3>> as follows:

  * In OpenCL the named address spaces `{global}`, `{local}`,
    `{constant}` and `{private}` are disjoint.
  * The named address spaces `{global}`, `{local}`, and `{private}`
    are subsets of the unnamed generic address space.
  * The unnamed generic address space does not overlap the named `{constant}`
    address space; the named `{constant}` address space is not in the generic
    address space.

[NOTE]
====
The OpenCL definition of the generic address space is different than the
definition in section 5 of the <<embedded-c-spec, Embedded C Specification>>. In
OpenCL C, no objects can be allocated in this address space. It can only be used
with pointer types, where a pointer pointing to a location in the generic
address space can be used for objects allocated in any of the concrete named
address spaces `private`, `local`, or `global`.
====

Following section 5.3 of the <<embedded-c-spec, Embedded C Specification>>, it
is only allowed to convert pointers implicitly, i.e. in assignments, function
parameters, operations, if the original pointer points to an object qualified by
an address space enclosed into the address space pointed by the destination
pointer.

In contrast to the <<embedded-c-spec, Embedded C Specification>>, explicitly
converting i.e. casting between pointers to non-overlapping address spaces is
illegal in OpenCL.

Considering the above, the following applies to conversions of pointers pointing
to different address spaces:

  * A pointer that points to the `global`, `local` or `private` address
    space can be implicitly converted to a pointer to the unnamed generic
    address space but not vice-versa.
  * Pointer casts can be used to cast a pointer that points to the `global`,
    `local` or `private` space to the unnamed generic address space and
    vice-versa.
  * A pointer that points to the `constant` address space cannot be cast or
    implicitly converted to the generic address space.

Examples:

This is the canonical example.
In this example, function `foo` is declared with an argument that is a
pointer with the unnamed generic address space address space qualifier.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

void foo(int *a)
{
    *a = *a + 2;
}

kernel void k1(local int *a)
{
    ...
    foo(a);
    ...
}

kernel void k2(global int *a)
{
    ...
    foo(a);
    ...
}
----------

In the example below, `var` is a pointer to the unnamed generic address space.
A pointer to the `global` or `local` address space may be assigned to `var`
depending on the result of a conditional expression.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

kernel void bar(global int *g, local int *l)
{
    int *var;

    if (is_even(get_global_id(0))
        var = g;
    else
        var = l;
    *var = 42;
    ...
}
----------

In the example below, the same pointer to the unnamed generic address
space is used to point to objects allocated in different named address spaces.
A pointer to the unnamed generic address space may point to
objects in the `global`, `local`, and `private` address spaces,
but it is not legal for a pointer to the unnamed generic address to
point to an object in the `constant` address space.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

int *ptr;
global int g;
ptr = &g; // legal

local int l;
ptr = &l; // legal

private int p;
ptr = &p; // legal

constant int c;
ptr = &c; // illegal
----------

In the example below, pointers to named address spaces are assigned to
a pointer to the unnamed generic address space.
It is legal to assign a pointer to the `global`, `local`, and `private`
address spaces to a pointer to the unnamed generic address space without
an explicit cast.
It is not legal to assign a pointer to the `constant` address space to
a pointer to the unnamed generic address space.
It is also not legal to assign a pointer to the unnamed generic address
space to a pointer to a named address space without a cast.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

global int *gp;
local int *lp;
private int *pp;
constant int *cp;

int *p;
p = gp; // OK.
p = lp; // OK.
p = pp; // OK.
p = cp; // Error.

// it is illegal to convert from a generic pointer
// to an explicit address space pointer without a cast:
gp = p; // Error.
lp = p; // Error.
pp = p; // Error.
cp = p; // Error.
----------

The example below illustrates the implicit conversion between named address
spaces.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
global int *gp;
local int *lp;
private int *pp;
constant int *cp;

// it is illegal to convert pointers pointing to different
// named address spaces.

gp = lp; // Error.
gp = pp; // Error.
gp = cp; // Error.

lp = gp; // Error.
lp = pp; // Error.
lp = cp; // Error.

pp = lp; // Error.
pp = gp; // Error.
pp = cp; // Error.

cp = lp; // Error.
cp = pp; // Error.
cp = gp; // Error.
----------

The example below demonstrates explicit conversions for pointers pointing to
different address spaces.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

global int *gp;
local int *lp;
private int *pp;
constant int *cp;

int *p;
gp = (global int *)lp;  // illegal to cast between named address spaces
p = (int *)gp;          // legal to cast from global to generic
gp = (global int*)p;    // legal to cast from generic to global
----------

For nested pointers, implicit conversions between address spaces are disallowed.
Explicitly casting between different address spaces in nested pointers is
allowed but the use of such pointers can lead to incorrect behavior such as
accessing invalid memory locations.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

kernel void mykernel(...)
{
    // ll is a pointer to a pointer in the local address space,
    // which points to an integer in the local address space
    local int *local *ll;

    // gl is a pointer to a pointer in the local address space,
    // which points to an integer in the global address space
    global int *local *gl;

    // nl is a pointer to a pointer in the local address space,
    // which points to an integer via the unnamed generic address space
    int *local * nl;

    ll = gl;  // Error, cannot convert address spaces implicitly
              // for nested pointers.
    ll = nl;  // Error, cannot convert address spaces implicitly
              // for nested pointers.
    ll = (local int* local*)gl; // OK to convert explicitly,
                                // but uses of 'll' can result in
                                // in ill-formed program.
    ll = (local int* local*)nl; // OK to convert explicitly,
                                // but uses of 'll' can result in
                                // in ill-formed program.
}
----------

Various clarifications and examples illustrating how changes to ISO/IEC
9899:1999 detailed in <<embedded-c-spec, Embedded C, section 5.3>> apply
to OpenCL C with the generic address space.

*Clause 6.2.5 - Types*:

If address space qualifier on type T is omitted refer to
<<addr-spaces-inference,Address Space Inference>>.

*Clause 6.3.2.3 - Pointers*

Conversions between disjoint address spaces are disallowed in OpenCL,
refer to <<addr-spaces-conversions,Address Space Conversions>>.

*Clause 6.5.8 - Relational operators*:

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

kernel void test1()
{
    global int arr[5] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 };
    int *p = &arr[1];
    global int *q = &arr[3];

    // q implicitly converted to the generic address space
    // since the generic address space encloses the global
    // address space
    if (q >= p)
        printf("true\n");

    // q implicitly converted to the generic address space
    // since the generic address space encloses the global
    // address space
    if (p <= q)
        printf("true\n");
}
----------


*Clause 6.5.9 - Equality operators*:

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

int *ptr = NULL;
local int lval = SOME_VAL;
local int *lptr = &lval;
global int gval = SOME_OTHER_VAL;
global int *gptr = &gval;

ptr = lptr;

if (ptr == gptr) // legal
{
    ...
}

if (ptr == lptr) // legal
{
    ...
}

if (lptr == gptr) // illegal, compiler error
{
    ...
}
----------

Consider the following example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

bool callee(int *p1, int *p2)
{
    if (p1 == p2)
        return true;
    return false;
}

void caller()
{
    global int *gptr = 0xdeadbeef;
    private int *pptr = 0xdeadbeef;

    // behavior of callee is undefined
    bool b = callee(gptr, pptr);
}
----------

The behavior of callee is undefined as gptr and pptr are in different
address spaces.
The example above would have the same undefined behavior if the equality
operator is replaced with a relational operator.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

int *ptr = NULL;
local int *lptr = NULL;
global int *gptr = NULL;

if (ptr == NULL) // legal
{
    ...
}

if (ptr == lptr) // legal
{
    ...
}

if (lptr == gptr) // compile-time error
{
    ...
}

ptr = lptr; // legal

intptr l = (intptr_t)lptr;
if (l == 0) // legal
{
    ...
}

if (l == NULL) // legal
{
    ...
}
----------

*Clause 6.5.15 - Conditional operator*:

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

kernel void test1()
{
    global int arr[5] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 };
    int *p = &arr[1];
    global int *q = &arr[3];
    local int *r = NULL;
    int *val = NULL;

    // legal. 2nd and 3rd operands are in address spaces
    // that overlap
    val = (q >= p) ? q : p;

    // compiler error. 2nd and 3rd operands are in disjoint
    // address spaces
    val = (q >= p) ? q : r;
}
----------

*Clause 6.5.16.1 - Simple assignment*:

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Note: these examples assume OpenCL C 2.0 or the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature support.

kernel void f()
{
    int *ptr;
    local int *lptr;
    global int *gptr;

== Access Qualifiers

Image objects specified as arguments to a kernel can be declared to be
read-only or write-only.

For OpenCL C 2.0, or with the {opencl_c_read_write_images} feature,
image objects specified as arguments to a kernel can additionally be
declared to be read-write.

The `{read_only}` (or `read_only`) access qualifier specifies that the
image object is only being read by a kernel or function.
The `{write_only}` (or `write_only`) access qualifier specifies that the
image object is only being written to by a kernel or function.
The `{read_write}` (or `read_write`) access qualifier specifies that the
image object may be both read from or written to by a kernel or function.

The default access qualifier is `read_only`, if no access qualifier is declared.

In the following example

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
foo (read_only image2d_t imageA,
     write_only image2d_t imageB)
{
    ...
}
----------

`imageA` is a read-only 2D image object, and `imageB` is a write-only 2D image
object.

The sampler-less read image and write image built-ins can be used with image
declared with the `{read_write}` (or `read_write`) qualifier.
Calls to built-ins that read from an image using a sampler for images
declared with the `{read_write}` (or `read_write`) qualifier will be a
compilation error.

Pipe objects specified as arguments to a kernel also use these access
qualifiers.
See the <<pipe-functions,detailed description on how these access qualifiers
can be used with pipes>>.

The `{read_only}`, `{write_only}`, `{read_write}`, `read_only`,
`write_only` and `read_write` names are reserved for use as access
qualifiers and shall not be used otherwise.

=== `{kernel}` (or `kernel`)

[open,refpage='kernel',desc='Qualifiers for Kernel Functions',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='kernel-or-kernel',xrefs='accessQualifiers optionalAttributeQualifiers',alias='functionQualifiers']
--

The `{kernel}` (or `kernel`) qualifier declares a function to be a kernel
that can be executed by an application on an OpenCL device(s).
The following rules apply to functions that are declared with this
qualifier:

  * It can be executed on the device only
  * It can be called by the host
  * It is just a regular function call if a `{kernel}` function is called
    by another kernel function.

[NOTE]
====
Kernel functions with variables declared inside the function with the
`{local}` or `local` qualifier can be called by the host using appropriate
APIs such as {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel}.
====

The `{kernel}` and `kernel` names are reserved for use as functions
qualifiers and shall not be used otherwise.

[[optional-attribute-qualifiers]]
=== Optional Attribute Qualifiers

[open,refpage='optionalAttributeQualifiers',desc='Optional Attribute Qualifiers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='optional-attribute-qualifiers',xrefs='accessQualifiers kernel',alias='reqd_work_group_size vec_type_hint work_group_size_hint']
--

The `{kernel}` qualifier can be used with the keyword __attribute__ to
declare additional information about the kernel function as described below.

The optional `+__attribute__((vec_type_hint(<type>)))+`
footnote:[{fn-vec-type-hint}] is a hint to the compiler and is intended to be a
representation of the computational _width_ of the `{kernel}`, and should
serve as the basis for calculating processor bandwidth utilization when the
compiler is looking to autovectorize the code.
In the `+__attribute__((vec_type_hint(<type>)))+` qualifier <type> is one of
the built-in vector types listed in <<table-builtin-vector-types,Built-in Vector Data Types>> or the
constituent scalar element types.
If `vec_type_hint (<type>)` is not specified, the kernel is assumed to have
the `+__attribute__((vec_type_hint(int)))+` qualifier.

For example, where the developer specified a width of `float4`, the compiler
should assume that the computation usually uses up to 4 lanes of a `float`
vector, and would decide to merge work-items or possibly even separate one
work-item into many threads to better match the hardware capabilities.
A conforming implementation is not required to autovectorize code, but shall
support the hint.
A compiler may autovectorize, even if no hint is provided.
If an implementation merges N work-items into one thread, it is responsible
for correctly handling cases where the number of `global` or `local`
work-items in any dimension modulo N is not zero.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// autovectorize assuming float4 as the
// basic computation width
__kernel __attribute__((vec_type_hint(float4)))
void foo( __global float4 *p ) { ... }

// autovectorize assuming double as the
// basic computation width
__kernel __attribute__((vec_type_hint(double)))
void foo( __global float4 *p ) { ... }

// autovectorize assuming int (default)
// as the basic computation width
__kernel
void foo( __global float4 *p ) { ... }
----------

If for example, a `{kernel}` function is declared with

[none]
* `+__attribute__(( vec_type_hint (float4)))+`

(meaning that most operations in the `{kernel}` function are explicitly
vectorized using `float4`) and the kernel is running using Intel^{reg}^
Advanced Vector Instructions (Intel^{reg}^ AVX) which implements a
8-float-wide vector unit, the autovectorizer might choose to merge two
work-items to one thread, running a second work-item in the high half of the
256-bit AVX register.

As another example, a Power4 machine has two scalar double-precision
floating-point units with an 6-cycle deep pipe.
An autovectorizer for the Power4 machine might choose to interleave six
kernels declared with the `+__attribute__(( vec_type_hint (double2)))+`
qualifier into one hardware thread, to ensure that there is always 12-way
parallelism available to saturate the FPUs.
It might also choose to merge 4 or 8 work-items (or some other number) if it
concludes that these are better choices, due to resource utilization
concerns or some preference for divisibility by 2.

The optional `+__attribute__((work_group_size_hint(X, Y, Z)))+` is a hint to
the compiler and is intended to specify the work-group size that may be used
i.e. value most likely to be specified by the _local_work_size_ argument to
{clEnqueueNDRangeKernel}.
For example, the `+__attribute__((work_group_size_hint(1, 1, 1)))+` is a
hint to the compiler that the kernel will most likely be executed with a
work-group size of 1.

The optional `+__attribute__((reqd_work_group_size(X, Y, Z)))+` is the
work-group size that must be used as the _local_work_size_ argument to
{clEnqueueNDRangeKernel}.
This allows the compiler to optimize the generated code appropriately for
this kernel.

If `Z` is one, the _work_dim_ argument to {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel} can be 2
or 3.
If `Y` and `Z` are one, the _work_dim_ argument to {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel}
can be 1, 2 or 3.

== Storage-Class Specifiers

[open,refpage='storageSpecifiers',desc='Storage-Class Specifiers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='storage-class-specifiers',alias='typedef extern static']

The `typedef` storage-class specifier is supported.
The `extern` and `static` storage-class specifiers are supported but
<<unified-spec, require>> support for OpenCL C 1.2 or newer.
The `auto` and `register` storage-class specifiers are not supported.

The `extern` storage-class specifier can only be used for functions (kernel
and non-kernel functions) and `global` variables declared in program scope
or variables declared inside a function (kernel and non-kernel functions).
The `static` storage-class specifier can only be used for non-kernel
functions, `global` variables declared in program scope and variables inside
a function declared in the `global` or `constant` address space.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]

static constant float4 color_table[256];

extern kernel void my_foo(image2d_t img);
extern void my_bar(global float *a);

The preprocessing directives defined by the C99 specification are supported.

The *#pragma* directive is described as:

[none]
* *#pragma* _pp-tokens~opt~_ _new-line_

A *#pragma* directive where the preprocessing token `OPENCL` (used instead
of *`STDC`*) does not immediately follow *#pragma* in the directive (prior to
any macro replacement) causes the implementation to behave in an
implementation-defined manner.
The behavior might cause translation to fail or cause the translator or the
resulting program to behave in a non-conforming manner.
Any such *#pragma* that is not recognized by the implementation is ignored.
If the preprocessing token `OPENCL` does immediately follow *#pragma* in the
directive (prior to any macro replacement), then no macro replacement is
performed on the directive, and the directive shall have one of the
following forms whose meanings are described elsewhere:

== Attribute Qualifiers

// [open,refpage='attribute',desc='Attribute Qualifiers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='attribute-qualifiers',xrefs='attributes-types attributes-variables attributes-blocksAndControlFlow attributes-loopUnroll']
// --

This section describes the syntax with which `+__attribute__+` may be used,
and the constructs to which attribute specifiers bind.

An attribute specifier is of the form

`+__attribute__ ((_attribute-list_))+`.

An attribute list is defined as:

[role="bnf"]

--

This syntax is taken directly from GCC but unlike GCC, which allows
attributes to be applied only to functions, types, and variables, OpenCL
attributes can be associated with:

  * types;
  * functions;
  * variables;
  * blocks; and
  * control-flow statements.

In general, the rules for how an attribute binds, for a given context, are
non-trivial and the reader is pointed to GCC's documentation and Maurer and
Wong's paper [See 16.
and 17.

[[specifying-attributes-of-types]]
=== Specifying Attributes of Types

[open,refpage='attributes-types',desc='Specifying Attribute of Types',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='specifying-attributes-of-types']
--

The keyword `+__attribute__+` allows you to specify special attributes of
enum, struct and union types when you define such types.
This keyword is followed by an attribute specification inside double
parentheses.
Two attributes are currently defined for types: aligned, and packed.

You may specify type attributes in an enum, struct or union type declaration
or definition, or for other types in a `typedef` declaration.

For an enum, struct or union type, you may specify attributes either between
the enum, struct or union tag and the name of the type, or just past the
closing curly brace of the _definition_.
The former syntax is preferred.

`aligned (_alignment_)` ::
This attribute specifies a minimum alignment (in bytes) for variables of the
specified type.
+
--
For example, the declarations:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
struct S { short f[3]; } __attribute__ ((aligned (8)));
typedef int more_aligned_int __attribute__ ((aligned (8)));
----------

force the compiler to ensure (as far as it can) that each variable whose
type is `struct S` or `more_aligned_int` will be allocated and aligned _at
least_ on a 8-byte boundary.

Note that the alignment of any given struct or union type is required by the
ISO C standard to be at least a perfect multiple of the lowest common
multiple of the alignments of all of the members of the struct or union in
question and must also be a power of two.
This means that you _can_ effectively adjust the alignment of a struct or
union type by attaching an aligned attribute to any one of the members of
such a type, but the notation illustrated in the example above is a more
obvious, intuitive, and readable way to request the compiler to adjust the
alignment of an entire struct or union type.

As in the preceding example, you can explicitly specify the alignment (in
bytes) that you wish the compiler to use for a given struct or union type.
Alternatively, you can leave out the alignment factor and just ask the
compiler to align a type to the maximum useful alignment for the target
machine you are compiling for.
For example, you could write:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
struct S { short f[3]; } __attribute__ ((aligned));
----------

Whenever you leave out the alignment factor in an aligned attribute
specification, the compiler automatically sets the alignment for the type to
the largest alignment which is ever used for any data type on the target
machine you are compiling for.
In the example above, the size of each `short` is 2 bytes, and therefore the
size of the entire `struct S` type is 6 bytes.
The smallest power of two which is greater than or equal to that is 8, so
the compiler sets the alignment for the entire `struct S` type to 8 bytes.

Note that the effectiveness of aligned attributes may be limited by inherent
limitations of the OpenCL device and compiler.
For some devices, the OpenCL compiler may only be able to arrange for
variables to be aligned up to a certain maximum alignment.
If the OpenCL compiler is only able to align variables up to a maximum of 8
byte alignment, then specifying `aligned(16)` in an `+__attribute__+` will
still only provide you with 8 byte alignment.
See your platform-specific documentation for further information.

The aligned attribute can only increase the alignment; but you can decrease
it by specifying packed as well.
See below.
--

`packed` ::
This attribute, attached to struct or union type definition, specifies that
each member of the structure or union is placed to minimize the memory
required.
When attached to an enum definition, it indicates that the smallest integral
type should be used.
+
--
Specifying this attribute for struct and union types is equivalent to
specifying the packed attribute on each of the structure or union members.

In the following example, the members of `my_packed_struct` are packed
closely together, but the internal layout of its `s` member is not packed.
To do that, struct `my_unpacked_struct` would need to be packed, too.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
struct my_unpacked_struct
{
    char c;
    int i;
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) my_packed_struct
{
    char c;
    int i;
    struct my_unpacked_struct s;
};
----------

You may only specify this attribute on the definition of a enum, struct or
union, not on a `typedef` which does not also define the enumerated type,
structure or union.

[[specifying-attributes-of-variables]]
=== Specifying Attributes of Variables

[open,refpage='attributes-variables',desc='Specifying Attribute of Variables',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='specifying-attributes-of-variables']
--

The keyword `+__attribute__+` allows you to specify special attributes of
variables or structure fields.
This keyword is followed by an attribute specification inside double
parentheses.
The following attribute qualifiers are currently defined:

`aligned (_alignment_)` ::

This attribute specifies a minimum alignment for the variable or structure
field, measured in bytes.
For example, the declaration:
+
[source,opencl_c]
----------
int x __attribute__ ((aligned (16))) = 0;
----------
+
causes the compiler to allocate the global variable `x` on a 16-byte
boundary.
The alignment value specified must be a power of two.
+
You can also specify the alignment of structure fields.
For example, to create a double-word aligned `int` pair, you could write:
+
[source,opencl_c]
----------
struct foo { int x[2] __attribute__ ((aligned (8))); };
----------
+
This is an alternative to creating a union with a `double` member that
forces the union to be double-word aligned.
+
As in the preceding examples, you can explicitly specify the alignment (in
bytes) that you wish the compiler to use for a given variable or structure
field.
Alternatively, you can leave out the alignment factor and just ask the
compiler to align a variable or field to the maximum useful alignment for
the target machine you are compiling for.
For example, you could write:
+
[source,opencl_c]
----------
short array[3] __attribute__ ((aligned));
----------
+
Whenever you leave out the alignment factor in an aligned attribute
specification, the OpenCL compiler automatically sets the alignment for the
declared variable or field to the largest alignment which is ever used for
any data type on the target device you are compiling for.
+
When used on a struct, or struct member, the aligned attribute can only
increase the alignment; in order to decrease it, the packed attribute must
be specified as well.
When used as part of a `typedef`, the aligned attribute can both increase
and decrease alignment, and specifying the packed attribute will generate a
warning.
+
Note that the effectiveness of aligned attributes may be limited by inherent
limitations of the OpenCL device and compiler.
For some devices, the OpenCL compiler may only be able to arrange for
variables to be aligned up to a certain maximum alignment.
If the OpenCL compiler is only able to align variables up to a maximum of 8
byte alignment, then specifying `aligned(16)` in an `+__attribute__+` will
still only provide you with 8 byte alignment.
See your platform-specific documentation for further information.

`packed` ::

The packed attribute specifies that a variable or structure field should
have the smallest possible alignment -- one byte for a variable, unless you
specify a larger value with the aligned attribute.
+
Here is a structure in which the field `x` is packed, so that it immediately
follows a:
+
[source,opencl_c]
----------
struct foo
{
    char a;
    int x[2] __attribute__ ((packed));
};
----------
+
An attribute list placed at the beginning of a user-defined type applies to
the variable of that type and not the type, while attributes following the
type body apply to the type.
+
For example:
+
[source,opencl_c]
----------
/* a has alignment of 128 */
__attribute__((aligned(128))) struct A {int i;} a;

/* b has alignment of 16 */
__attribute__((aligned(16))) struct B {double d;}
__attribute__((aligned(32))) b ;

struct A a1; /* a1 has alignment of 4 */

struct B b1; /* b1 has alignment of 32 */
----------

`endian (_endiantype_)` ::

The endian attribute determines the byte ordering of a variable.
_endiantype_ can be set to `host` indicating the variable uses the
endianness of the host processor or can be set to `device` indicating the
variable uses the endianness of the device on which the kernel will be
executed.
The default is `device`.
+
For example:
+
[source,opencl_c]
----------
global float4 *p __attribute__ ((endian(host)));
----------
+
specifies that data stored in memory pointed to by p will be in the host
endian format.
+
The endian attribute can only be applied to pointer types that are in the
`global` or `constant` address space.
The endian attribute cannot be used for variables that are not a pointer
type.
The endian attribute value for both pointers must be the same when one
pointer is assigned to another.

`nosvm` ::
The `nosvm` attribute can be used with a pointer variable to inform the
compiler that the pointer does not refer to a shared virtual memory region.
<<unified-spec, Requires>> support for OpenCL C 2.0 or newer.
// __attribute__((nosvm)) was both added and deprecated in OpenCL C 2.0,
// presumably it was a later revision that deprecated the attribute.

[NOTE]
====
The `nosvm` attribute is deprecated, and the compiler can ignore it.

=== Specifying Attributes of Blocks and Control-Flow-Statements

[open,refpage='attributes-blocksAndControlFlow',desc='Specifying Attribute of Blocks and Control-Flow-Statements',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='specifying-attributes-of-blocks-and-control-flow-statements']
--

For basic blocks and control-flow-statements the attribute is placed before
the structure in question, for example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
__attribute__((attr1)) {...}

for __attribute__((attr2)) (...) __attribute__((attr3)) {...}
----------

Here `attr1` applies to the block in braces and `attr2` and `attr3` apply to
the loop's control construct and body, respectively.

No attribute qualifiers for blocks and control-flow-statements are currently
defined.

[[specifying-attribute-for-unrolling-loops]]
=== Specifying Attribute for Unrolling Loops

[open,refpage='attributes-loopUnroll',desc='Specifying Attribute For Unrolling Loops',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='specifying-attribute-for-unrolling-loops']
--

NOTE: The functionality described in this section <<unified-spec, requires>>
support for OpenCL C 2.0 or newer.

The `+__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint))+` and
`+__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(n)))+` attribute qualifiers can be used
to specify that a loop (for, while and do loops) can be unrolled.
This attribute qualifier can be used to specify full unrolling or partial
unrolling by a specified amount.
This is a compiler hint and the compiler may ignore this directive.

n is the loop unrolling factor and must be a positive integral compile time
constant expression.
An unroll factor of 1 disables unrolling.
If n is not specified, the compiler determines the unrolling factor for the
loop.

[NOTE]
====
The `+__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(n)))+` attribute qualifier must
appear immediately before the loop to be affected.
====

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(2)))
while (*s != 0)
    *p++ = *s++;
----------

The tells the compiler to unroll the above while loop by a factor of 2.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint))
for (int i=0; i<2; i++)
{
    ...
}
----------

In the example above, the compiler will determine how much to unroll the
loop.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(1)))
for (int i=0; i<32; i++)
{
    ...
}
----------

The above is an example where the loop should not be unrolled.

Below are some examples of invalid usage of
`+__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(n)))+`.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(-1)))
while (...)
{
    ...
}
----------

The above example is an invalid usage of the loop unroll factor as the loop
unroll factor is negative.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
__attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint))
if (...)
{
    ...
}
----------

The above example is invalid because the unroll attribute qualifier is used
on a non-loop construct

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
my_kernel( ... )
{
    int x;
    __attribute__((opencl_unroll_hint(x))
    for (int i=0; i<x; i++)
    {
        ...
    }
}
----------

The above example is invalid because the loop unroll factor is not a
compile-time constant expression.
--


[[extending-attribute-qualifiers]]
=== Extending Attribute Qualifiers

The attribute syntax can be extended for standard language extensions and
vendor specific extensions.
Any extensions should follow the naming conventions outlined in the
introduction to <<opencl-extension-spec,section 9 in the OpenCL 2.0
Extension Specification>>.

Attributes are intended as useful hints to the compiler.
It is our intention that a particular implementation of OpenCL be free to
ignore all attributes and the resulting executable binary will produce the
same result.
This does not preclude an implementation from making use of the additional
information provided by attributes and performing optimizations or other
transformations as it sees fit.
In this case it is the programmer's responsibility to guarantee that the
information provided is in some sense correct.


[[blocks]]
== Blocks

[open,refpage='blocks',desc='Blocks',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='blocks']
--
NOTE: The functionality described in this section <<unified-spec, requires>>
support for OpenCL C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and the
{opencl_c_device_enqueue} feature.

This section describes the clang block syntax
footnote:[{fn-clang-block-syntax}].

Like function types, the Block type is a pair consisting of a result value
type and a list of parameter types very similar to a function type.
Blocks are intended to be used much like functions with the key distinction
being that in addition to executable code they also contain various variable
bindings to automatic (stack) or `global` memory.
--


[[declaring-and-using-a-block]]
=== Declaring and Using a Block

You use the ^ operator to declare a Block variable and to indicate the
beginning of a Block literal.
The body of the Block itself is contained within {}, as shown in this
example (as usual with C, ; indicates the end of the statement):

The example is explained in the following illustration:

// JPG size: 556 x 228
image:images/block_example.jpg[align="center",title="Block Example"]

Notice that the Block is able to make use of variables from the same scope
in which it was defined.

If you declare a Block as a variable, you can then use it just as you would
a function:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
int multiplier = 7;

int (^myBlock)(int) = ^(int num) {
    return num * multiplier;
};

printf("%d\n", myBlock(3));
// prints 21
----------


[[declaring-a-block-reference]]
=== Declaring a Block Reference

Block variables hold references to Blocks.
You declare them using syntax similar to that you use to declare a pointer
to a function, except that you use ^ instead of *.
The Block type fully interoperates with the rest of the C type system.
The following are valid Block variable declarations:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
void (^blockReturningVoidWithVoidArgument)(void);
int (^blockReturningIntWithIntAndCharArguments)(int, char);
----------

A Block that takes no arguments must specify `void` in the argument list.
A Block reference may not be dereferenced via the pointer dereference
operation *, and thus a Block's size may not be computed at compile time.

Blocks are designed to be fully type safe by giving the compiler a full set
of metadata to use to validate use of Blocks, parameters passed to blocks,
and assignment of the return value.

You can also create types for Blocks -- doing so is generally considered to
be best practice when you use a block with a given signature in multiple
places:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
typedef float (^MyBlockType)(float, float);

MyBlockType myFirstBlock = // ...;
MyBlockType mySecondBlock = // ...;
----------


[[block-literal-expressions]]
=== Block Literal Expressions

A Block literal expression produces a reference to a Block.
It is introduced by the use of the *^* token as a unary operator.

[role="bnf"]
--
Block_literal_expression : ::
    ^ _block_decl_ _compound_statement_body_

_block_decl_ : ::
    empty +
    _parameter_list_ +
    _type_expression_
--

where _type_expression_ is extended to allow ^ as a Block reference where *
is allowed as a function reference.

The following Block literal:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
^ void (void) { printf("hello world**\n**"); }
----------

produces a reference to a Block with no arguments with no return value.

The return type is optional and is inferred from the return statements.
If the return statements return a value, they all must return a value of the
same type.
If there is no value returned the inferred type of the Block is `void`;
otherwise it is the type of the return statement value.
If the return type is omitted and the argument list is `( void )`, the `(
void )` argument list may also be omitted.

So:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
^ ( void ) { printf("hello world**\n**"); }
----------

and:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
^ { printf("hello world**\n**"); }
----------

are exactly equivalent constructs for the same expression.

The compound statement body establishes a new lexical scope within that of
its parent.
Variables used within the scope of the compound statement are bound to the
Block in the normal manner with the exception of those in automatic (stack)
storage.
Thus one may access functions and global variables as one would expect, as
well as `static` local variables.

Local automatic (stack) variables referenced within the compound statement
of a Block are imported and captured by the Block as const copies.
The capture (binding) is performed at the time of the Block literal
expression evaluation.

The compiler is not required to capture a variable if it can prove that no
references to the variable will actually be evaluated.

The lifetime of variables declared in a Block is that of a function..

Block literal expressions may occur within Block literal expressions
(nested) and all variables captured by any nested blocks are implicitly also
captured in the scopes of their enclosing Blocks.

A Block literal expression may be used as the initialization value for Block
variables at global or local `static` scope.

You can also declare a Block as a global literal in program scope.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
int GlobalInt = 0;

int (^getGlobalInt)(void) = ^{ return GlobalInt; };
----------


[[control-flow]]
=== Control Flow

The compound statement of a Block is treated much like a function body with
respect to control flow in that continue, break and goto do not escape the
Block.


[[restrictions-1]]
=== Restrictions

The following Blocks features are currently not supported in OpenCL C.

  * The `+__block+` storage type.
  * The *Block_copy*() and *Block_release*() functions that copy and release
    Blocks.
  * Blocks with variadic arguments.
  * Arrays of Blocks.
  * Blocks as structures and union members.

Block literals are assumed to allocate memory at the point of definition and
to be destroyed at the end of the same scope.
To support these behaviors, additional restrictions
footnote:[{fn-clang-block-function-pointers}] in addition to the above feature
restrictions are:

  * Block variables must be defined and used in a way that allows them to be
    statically determinable at build or "`link to executable`" time.
    In particular:
  ** Block variables assigned in one scope must be used only with the same
     or any nested scope.
  ** The `extern` storage-class specified cannot be used with program scope
     block variables.
  ** Block variable declarations are implicitly qualified with const.
     Therefore all block variables must be initialized at declaration time
     and may not be reassigned.
  ** A block cannot be a return value or a parameter of a function.
  ** Blocks cannot be used as expressions of the ternary selection operator
     (*?:*).
  * The unary operators (*+*+*) and (*&*) cannot be used with a Block.
  * Pointers to Blocks are not allowed.
  * A Block cannot capture another Block variable declared in the outer
    scope (Example 4).
  * Block capture semantics follows regular C argument passing convention,
    i.e. arrays are captured by reference (decayed to pointers) and structs
    are captured by value (Example 5).

Some examples that describe legal and illegal issue of Blocks in OpenCL C
are described below.

Example 1:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
void foo(int *x, int (^bar)(int, int))
{
    *x = bar(*x, *x);
}

kernel
void k(global int *x, global int *z)
{
    if (some expression)
        foo(x, ^int(int x, int y){return x+y+*z;}); // legal
    else
        foo(x, ^int(int x, int y){return (x*y)-*z;}); // legal
}
----------

Example 2:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel
void k(global int *x, global int *z)
{
    int ^(tmp)(int, int);
    if (some expression)
    {
        tmp = ^int(int x, int y){return x+y+*z;}); // illegal
    }
    *x = foo(x, tmp);
}
----------

Example 3:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
int GlobalInt = 0;
int (^getGlobalInt)(void) = ^{ return GlobalInt; }; // legal
int (^getAnotherGlobalInt)(void);                   // illegal
extern int (^getExternGlobalInt)(void);             // illegal

void foo()

{
    ...
    getGlobalInt = ^{ return 0; }; // illegal - cannot assign to
                                   // a global block variable
    ...
}
----------

Example 4:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
void (^bl0)(void) = ^{
    ...
};

kernel void k()
{
    void(^bl1)(void) = ^{
        ...
    };

    void(^bl2)(void) = ^{
        bl0(); // legal because bl0 is a global
               // variable available in this scope
        bl1(); // illegal because bl1 would have to be captured
    };
}
----------

Example 5:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
struct v {
    int arr[2];
} s = {0, 1};

void (^bl1)() = ^(){printf("%d\n", s.arr[1]);};
// array content copied into captured struct location

int arr[2] = {0, 1};
void (^bl2)() = ^(){printf("%d\n", arr[1]);};
// array decayed to pointer while captured

s.arr[1] = arr[1] = 8;

bl1(); // prints - 1
bl2(); // prints - 8
----------


[[built-in-functions]]
== Built-in Functions

The OpenCL C programming language provides a rich set of built-in functions
for scalar and vector operations.
Many of these functions are similar to the function names provided in common
C libraries but they support scalar and vector argument types.
Applications should use the built-in functions wherever possible instead of
writing their own version.

User defined OpenCL C functions behave per C standard rules for functions as
defined in <<C99-spec,section 6.9.1 of the C99 Specification>>.
On entry to the function, the size of each variably modified parameter is
evaluated and the value of each argument expression is converted to the type
of the corresponding parameter as per the
<<usual-arithmetic-conversions,usual arithmetic conversion rules>>.
Built-in functions described in this section behave similarly, except that
in order to avoid ambiguity between multiple forms of the same built-in
function, implicit scalar widening shall not occur.
Note that some built-in functions described in this section do have forms
that operate on mixed scalar and vector types, however.

The following table describes the list of built-in work-item functions that

| Function | Description
| uint *get_work_dim*()
    | Returns the number of dimensions in use.
      This is the value given to the _work_dim_ argument specified in
      {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel}.
| size_t *get_global_size*(uint _dimindx_)
    | Returns the number of global work-items specified for dimension
      identified by _dimindx_.
      This value is given by the _global_work_size_ argument to
      {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel}.

      Valid values of _dimindx_ are 0 to *get_work_dim*() - 1.
      For other values of _dimindx_, *get_global_size*() returns 1.
| size_t *get_global_id*(uint _dimindx_)
    | Returns the unique global work-item ID value for dimension identified
      by _dimindx_.
      The global work-item ID specifies the work-item ID based on the number
      of global work-items specified to execute the kernel.

      Valid values of _dimindx_ are 0 to *get_work_dim*() - 1.
      For other values of _dimindx_, *get_global_id*() returns 0.
| size_t *get_local_size*(uint _dimindx_)
    | Returns the number of local work-items specified in dimension
      identified by _dimindx_.
      This value is at most the value given by the _local_work_size_
      argument to {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel} if _local_work_size_ is not
      `NULL`; otherwise the OpenCL implementation chooses an appropriate
      _local_work_size_ value which is returned by this function.
      If the kernel is executed with a non-uniform work-group size
      footnote:[{fn-non-uniform-work-groups}], calls to this built-in from some
      work-groups may return different values than calls to this built-in from
      other work-groups.

      Valid values of _dimindx_ are 0 to *get_work_dim*() - 1.
      For other values of _dimindx_, *get_local_size*() returns 1.
| size_t *get_enqueued_local_size*(
      uint _dimindx_)
    | Returns the same value as that returned by *get_local_size*(_dimindx_)
      if the kernel is executed with a uniform work-group size.

      If the kernel is executed with a non-uniform work-group size, returns
      the number of local work-items in each of the work-groups that make up
      the uniform region of the global range in the dimension identified by
      _dimindx_.
      If the _local_work_size_ argument to {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel} is not
      `NULL`, this value will match the value specified in
      _local_work_size_[_dimindx_].
      If _local_work_size_ is `NULL`, this value will match the local size
      that the implementation determined would be most efficient at
      implementing the uniform region of the global range.

      Valid values of _dimindx_ are 0 to *get_work_dim*() - 1.
      For other values of _dimindx_, *get_enqueued_local_size*() returns 1.

      specific work-group for dimension identified by _dimindx_.

      Valid values of _dimindx_ are 0 to *get_work_dim*() - 1.
      For other values of _dimindx_, *get_local_id*() returns 0.
| size_t *get_num_groups*(uint _dimindx_)
    | Returns the number of work-groups that will execute a kernel for
      dimension identified by _dimindx_.

      Valid values of _dimindx_ are 0 to *get_work_dim*() - 1.
      For other values of _dimindx_, *get_num_groups*() returns 1.
| size_t *get_group_id*(uint _dimindx_)
    | *get_group_id* returns the work-group ID which is a number from 0 ..
      *get_num_groups*(_dimindx_) - 1.

      Valid values of _dimindx_ are 0 to *get_work_dim*() - 1.
      For other values, *get_group_id*() returns 0.
| size_t *get_global_offset*(uint _dimindx_)
    | *get_global_offset* returns the offset values specified in
      _global_work_offset_ argument to {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel}.

      Valid values of _dimindx_ are 0 to *get_work_dim*() - 1.
      For other values, *get_global_offset*() returns 0.

      <<unified-spec, Requires>> support for OpenCL C 1.1 or newer.
| size_t *get_global_linear_id*()
    | Returns the work-items 1-dimensional global ID.

      For 1D work-groups, it is computed as *get_global_id*(0) -
      *get_global_offset*(0).

      For 2D work-groups, it is computed as (*get_global_id*(1) -
      *get_global_offset*(1)) * *get_global_size*(0) {plus} (*get_global_id*(0) -
      *get_global_offset*(0)).

NOTE: The functionality described in the following table <<unified-spec,
requires>> support for
ifdef::cl_khr_subgroups[the {cl_khr_subgroups_EXT} extension macro; or for]
OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and the {opencl_c_subgroups} feature.

The following table describes the list of built-in work-item functions that
can be used to query the size of a sub-group, number of sub-groups per work-group,
and identifier of the sub-group within a work-group and work-item within a
sub-group when this kernel is being executed on a device.

[cols="a,",options="header",]
|====
| Function | Description

| uint *get_sub_group_size*()
| Returns the number of work-items in the sub-group.
  This value is no more than the maximum sub-group size and is
  implementation-defined based on a combination of the compiled kernel and
  the dispatch dimensions.
  This will be a constant value for the lifetime of the sub-group.

| uint *get_max_sub_group_size*()
| Returns the maximum size of a sub-group within the dispatch.
  This value will be invariant for a given set of dispatch dimensions and a
  kernel object compiled for a given device.

| uint *get_num_sub_groups*()
| Returns the number of sub-groups that the current work-group is divided
  into.

  This number will be constant for the duration of a work-group's execution.
  If the kernel is executed with a non-uniform work-group size
  (i.e. the global_work_size values specified to {clEnqueueNDRangeKernel}
  are not evenly divisible by the local_work_size values for any dimension,
  calls to this built-in from some work-groups may return different values
  than calls to this built-in from other work-groups.

| uint *get_enqueued_num_sub_groups*()
| Returns the same value as that returned by *get_num_sub_groups* if the
  kernel is executed with a uniform work-group size.

  If the kernel is executed with a non-uniform work-group size, returns the
  number of sub-groups in each of the work-groups that make up the uniform
  region of the global range.

| uint *get_sub_group_id*()
| *get_sub_group_id* returns the sub-group ID which is a number from 0 ..
  *get_num_sub_groups*() - 1.

  For {clEnqueueTask}, this returns 0.

| uint *get_sub_group_local_id*()
| Returns the unique work-item ID within the current sub-group.
  The mapping from *get_local_id*(__dimindx__) to *get_sub_group_local_id*
  will be invariant for the lifetime of the work-group.

The built-in math functions are categorized into the following:

  * A list of built-in functions that have scalar or vector argument
    versions, and,
  * A list of built-in functions that only take scalar `float` arguments.

The vector versions of the math functions operate component-wise.
The description is per-component.

The built-in math functions are not affected by the prevailing rounding mode
in the calling environment, and always return the same value as they would
if called with the round to nearest even rounding mode.

The <<table-builtin-math, Built-in Scalar and Vector Argument Math
Functions>> table describes the list of built-in math functions that can
take scalar or vector arguments.

The generic type name `gentype` indicates that the function can take any of

  * `float`, `float2`, `float3`, `float4`, `float8`, or `float16`
  * `double` footnote:double-supported[{fn-double-supported}], `double2`,
    `double3`, `double4`, `double8` or `double16`
ifdef::cl_khr_fp16[]
  * `half` footnote:[{fn-half-supported}], `half2`, `half3`, `half4`,
    `half8` or `half16`
endif::cl_khr_fp16[]

as the type for the arguments.

The generic type name `gentypef` indicates that the function can take any of

  * `float`, `float2`, `float3`, `float4`, `float8`, or `float16`

as the type for the arguments.

The generic type name `gentyped` footnote:[{fn-double-supported}] indicates
that the function can take any of

  * `double`, `double2`, `double3`, `double4`, `double8` or `double16`

as the type for the arguments.

ifdef::cl_khr_fp16[]
The generic type name `gentypeh` footnote:[{fn-half-supported}] indicates
that the function can take any of

  * `half`, `half2`, `half3`, `half4`, `half8` or `half16`

as the type for the arguments.

NOTE: All functions taking or returning `half` types are supported only when
the {cl_khr_fp16_EXT} extension macro is supported.
endif::cl_khr_fp16[]

For any specific use of a function with `gentype*` arguments the actual type
has to be the same for all arguments and the return type, unless they are
explicitly specified as an actual type.

The following table describes the following functions:

  * A subset of functions from <<table-builtin-math,Built-in Scalar and Vector
    Argument Math Functions>> that are defined with the half_ prefix .
    These functions are implemented with a minimum of 10-bits of accuracy,
    i.e. the maximum error value \<= 8192 ulp.
  * A subset of functions from <<table-builtin-math,Built-in Scalar and Vector
    Argument Math Functions>> that are defined with the native_ prefix.
    These functions may map to one or more native device instructions and
    will typically have better performance compared to the corresponding
    functions without the `+native_+` prefix).
    The accuracy (and in some cases the input range(s)) of these functions
    is implementation-defined.
  * `+half_+` and `+native_+` functions for following basic operations:
    divide and reciprocal.

We use the generic type name `gentype` to indicate that the functions in the
following table can take `float`, `float2`, `float3`, `float4`, `float8` or
`float16` as the type for the arguments.

ifdef::cl_khr_fp16[]
NOTE: The use of `half` in this table does not refer to the argument and
return types, which are 32-bit floating-point values, but to the accuracy
requirements of the function results.

--
The `FP_CONTRACT` pragma can be used to allow (if the state is on) or
disallow (if the state is off) the implementation to contract expressions.
Each pragma can occur either outside external declarations or preceding all
explicit declarations and statements inside a compound statement.
When outside external declarations, the pragma takes effect from its
occurrence until another `FP_CONTRACT` pragma is encountered, or until the
end of the translation unit.
When inside a compound statement, the pragma takes effect from its
occurrence until another `FP_CONTRACT` pragma is encountered (including
within a nested compound statement), or until the end of the compound
statement; at the end of a compound statement the state for the pragma is
restored to its condition just before the compound statement.
If this pragma is used in any other context, the behavior is undefined.

The pragma definition to set `FP_CONTRACT` is:

----------
// on-off-switch is one of ON, OFF, or DEFAULT.
// The DEFAULT value is ON.
#pragma OPENCL FP_CONTRACT on-off-switch

The <<table-builtin-functions, following table>> describes the built-in integer
functions that take scalar or vector arguments.
The vector versions of the integer functions operate component-wise.
The description is per-component.

We use the generic type name `gentype` to indicate that the function can take
`char`, `char__n__`, `uchar`, `uchar__n__`, `short`,
`short__n__`, `ushort`, `ushort__n__`, `int`, `int__n__`,
`uint`, `uint__n__`, `long` footnote:[{fn-int64-supported}],
`long__n__`, `ulong`, or `ulong__n__` as the type for the
arguments.
We use the generic type name `ugentype` to refer to unsigned versions of
`gentype`.
For example, if `gentype` is `char4`, `ugentype` is `uchar4`.
We also use the generic type name `sgentype` to indicate that the function
can take a scalar data type, i.e. `char`, `uchar`, `short`, `ushort`, `int`,
`uint`, `long`, or `ulong`, as the type for the arguments.
For built-in integer functions that take `gentype` and `sgentype` arguments,
the `gentype` argument must be a vector or scalar version of the `sgentype`
argument.
For example, if `sgentype` is `uchar`, `gentype` must be `uchar` or
`uchar__n__`.
For vector versions, `sgentype` is implicitly widened to `gentype` as
described for <<operators-arithmetic,arithmetic operators>>.
_n_ is 2, 3, 4, 8, or 16.

For any specific use of a function with `gentype*` arguments the actual type
has to be the same for all arguments and the return type, unless they are
explicitly specified as an actual type.

The following table describes fast integer functions that can be used for
optimizing performance of kernels.
We use the generic type name `gentype` to indicate that the function can
take `int`, `int2`, `int3`, `int4`, `int8`, `int16`, `uint`, `uint2`,
`uint3`, `uint4`, `uint8` or `uint16` as the type for the arguments.

    | Multipy two 24-bit integer values _x_ and _y_ and add the 32-bit
      integer result to the 32-bit integer _z_.
      Refer to definition of *mul24* to see how the 24-bit integer
      multiplication is performed.
| gentype *mul24*(gentype _x_, gentype _y_)
    | Multiply two 24-bit integer values _x_ and _y_.
      _x_ and _y_ are 32-bit integers but only the low 24-bits are used to
      perform the multiplication.
      *mul24* should only be used when values in _x_ and _y_ are in the
      range [-2^23^, 2^23^-1] if _x_ and _y_ are signed integers and in the
      range [0, 2^24^-1] if _x_ and _y_ are unsigned integers.
      If _x_ and _y_ are not in this range, the multiplication result is
      implementation-defined.

The <<operators-relational,relational>> and <<operators-equality,equality>>
operators (*<*, *\<=*, *>*, *>=*, *!=*, *==*) can be used with scalar and
vector built-in types and produce a scalar or vector signed integer result
respectively.

The functions described in the <<table-builtin-relational,Built-in Scalar and
Vector Relational Functions>> table can be used with built-in scalar or vector
types as arguments and return a scalar or vector integer result
footnote:[{fn-floating-point-exception-nans}].
The argument type `gentype` refers to the following built-in types: `char`,
`char__n__`, `uchar`, `uchar__n__`, `short`, `short__n__`, `ushort`,
`ushort__n__`, `int`, `int__n__`, `uint`, `uint__n__`, `long`
footnote:[{fn-int64-supported}], `long__n__`, `ulong`, `ulong__n__`, `float`,
`float__n__`, `double` footnote:[{fn-double-supported}], and
`double__n__`.
The argument type `igentype` refers to the built-in signed integer types
i.e. `char`, `char__n__`, `short`, `short__n__`, `int`, `int__n__`, `long`
and `long__n__`.
The argument type `ugentype` refers to the built-in unsigned integer types
i.e. `uchar`, `uchar__n__`, `ushort`, `ushort__n__`, `uint`, `uint__n__`,
`ulong` and `ulong__n__`.
_n_ is 2, 3, 4, 8, or 16.

The functions *isequal*, *isnotequal*, *isgreater*, *isgreaterequal*,
*isless*, *islessequal*, *islessgreater*, *isfinite*, *isinf*, *isnan*,
*isnormal*, *isordered*, *isunordered* and *signbit* described in the
following table shall return a 0 if the specified relation is _false_ and a
1 if the specified relation is _true_ for scalar argument types.
These functions shall return a 0 if the specified relation is _false_ and a
-1 (i.e. all bits set) if the specified relation is _true_ for vector
argument types.

The relational functions *isequal*, *isgreater*, *isgreaterequal*, *isless*,
*islessequal*, and *islessgreater* always return 0 if either argument is not
a number (NaN).
*isnotequal* returns 1 if one or both arguments are not a number (NaN) and
the argument type is a scalar and returns -1 if one or both arguments are
not a number (NaN) and the argument type is a vector.

The <<table-vector-loadstore, Built-in Vector Data Load and Store
Functions>> table describes the list of supported functions that allow you
to read and write vector types from a pointer to memory.

The generic type name `gentype` indicates that the function can take any of

  * `char`, `uchar`, `short`, `ushort`, `int`, `uint`, `long`
    footnote:[{fn-int64-supported}] or `ulong`
  * `float` or `double` footnote:double-supported[{fn-double-supported}]
ifdef::cl_khr_fp16[]
  * `half` footnote:[{fn-half-supported}]


NOTE: All functions taking or returning `half` types are supported only when
the {cl_khr_fp16_EXT} extension macro is supported.
endif::cl_khr_fp16[]

as the type for the arguments.

The generic type name `gentype__n__` indicates an _n_-element vector of
`gentype` elements.

The generic type name `half__n__` indicates an _n_-element vector of `half`
elements.

The suffix _n_ is also used in the function names (i.e. *vload__n__*,
*vstore__n__* etc.), where _n_ = 2, 3 footnote:[{fn-vec3-vload-vstore}], 4,
8 or 16.

| For these functions, if any work-item in a work-group encounters a
  barrier, the barrier must be encountered by all work-items in the

  barrier.

  If the barrier is inside a conditional statement, then all
  work-items in the work-group must enter the conditional if any work-item in the work-group enters the
  conditional statement and executes the barrier.

  If the barrier is inside a loop, then all work-items in the work-group must execute
  the barrier on each iteration of the loop if any work-item executes the barrier on that iteration.

  The *barrier* and *work_group_barrier* functions can specify which
  memory operations become visible to the appropriate memory scope

  The _flags_ argument specifies the memory address spaces.
  This is a bitfield and can be set to 0 or a combination of the
  following values OR'ed together.
  When these flags are OR'ed together the barrier acts as a
  combined barrier for all address spaces specified by the flags
  ordering memory accesses both within and across the specified address
  spaces.

| For these functions, if any work-item in a sub-group encounters a
  *sub_group_barrier*, the barrier must be encountered by all work-items in the
  sub-group before any are allowed to continue execution beyond the barrier.

  spaces.
  For the *sub_group_barrier* variant that does not take a
  memory scope, the _scope_ is `memory_scope_sub_group`.

  `CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE` - The *sub_group_barrier* function will either flush
  any variables stored in local memory or queue a memory fence to ensure
  correct ordering of memory operations to local memory.

  `CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE` - The *sub_group_barrier* function will queue a
  memory fence to ensure correct ordering of memory operations to global
  memory.
  This can be useful when work-items, for example, write to buffer objects
  and then want to read the updated data from these buffer objects.

  `CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE` - The *sub_group_barrier* function will queue a memory
  fence to ensure correct ordering of memory operations to image objects.

--
The OpenCL C programming language implements the <<table-builtin-async-copy,
following functions>> that provide asynchronous copies between `global` and
local memory and a prefetch from `global` memory.

The async copy and wait group events functions are performed by all work-items
in a work-group and therefore must be encountered by all work-items in a
work-group executing the kernel with the same argument values, otherwise the
results are undefined.
This rule applies to ND-ranges implemented with uniform and non-uniform
work-groups.

If an async copy or wait group events function is inside a conditional statement
then all work-items in the work-group must enter the conditional if any
work-item in the work-group enters the conditional statement and executes the
async copy or wait group events function.

If an async copy or wait group events function is inside a loop then all
work-items in the work-group must execute the async copy or wait group events
function on each iteration of the loop if any work-item executes the async copy
or wait group events function on that iteration.

The generic type name `gentype` indicates that the function can take any of

  * `char`, `char__n__`, `uchar`, or `uchar__n__`
  * `short`, `short__n__`, `ushort`, or `ushort__n__`
  * `int`, `int__n__`, `uint`, or `uint__n__`
  * `long` footnote:[{fn-int64-supported}], `long__n__`, `ulong`, or

NOTE: All functions taking or returning `half` types are supported only when
the {cl_khr_fp16_EXT} extension macro is supported.
endif::cl_khr_fp16[]

as the type for the arguments unless otherwise stated.

void async_work_group_copy_fence(

----
    | Orders async copies produced by the work-items of a work-group
      executing a kernel.
      Async copies preceding the *async_work_group_copy_fence* must complete
      their access to the designated memory or memories, including both
      reads-from and writes-to it, before async copies following the fence
      are allowed to start accessing these memories.
      In other words, every async copy preceding the
      *async_work_group_copy_fence* must happen-before every async copy
      following the fence, with respect to the designated memory or
      memories.

      The _flags_ argument specifies the memory address space and can be set
      to a combination of the following literal values:

      `CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE` +
      `CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE`

      The async fence is performed by all work-items in a work-group and
      this built-in function must therefore be encountered by all work-items
      in a work-group executing the kernel with the same argument values;

If the {cl_khr_extended_async_copies_EXT} extension macro is supported,
additional <<table-builtin-extended-async-copy, Built-in Extended Async Copy
Functions>> are provided which interpret the source and destination as 2D or
3D data.

[NOTE]
====
<<table-builtin-async-copy, *async_work_group_strided_copy*>> is a special
case of *async_work_group_copy_2D2D*, namely one which copies a single
column to a single line or vice versa.
For example: +
`async_work_group_strided_copy(dst, src, num_gentypes, src_stride, event)`
is equal to `async_work_group_copy_2D2D(dst, 0, src, 0, sizeof(gentype), 1,
num_gentypes, src_stride, 1, event)`
====

The functions described in this section support arbitrary `gentype`-based
buffers by casting pointers to `void*`.

These functions do not perform any implicit synchronization of source data
such as using a *barrier* before performing the copy.

These functions are performed by all work-items in a work-group and must
therefore be encountered by all work-items in a work-group executing the
kernel with the same argument values; otherwise the results are undefined.

The _src_offset_, _dst_offset_, _src_total_line_length_,
_dst_total_line_length_, _src_total_plane_area_ and _dst_total_plane_area_
function arguments are expressed in elements.

Both _src_total_line_length_ and _dst_total_line_length_ describe the
number of elements between the beginning of the current line and the
beginning of the next line.

Both _src_total_plane_area_ and _dst_total_plane_area_ describe the
number of elements between the beginning of the current plane and the
beginning of the next plane.

These functions return an event object that can be used by
*wait_group_events* to wait for the async copy to finish.
The _event_ argument can also be used to associate the async copy with a
previous async copy allowing an event to be shared by multiple async copies;
otherwise _event_ should be zero.
If the _event_ argument is non-zero, the event object supplied as the
_event_ argument will be returned.

[[atomic-functions]]
=== Atomic Functions

IMPORTANT: The C11 style atomic functions in this sub-section <<unified-spec,
require>> support for OpenCL 2.0 or newer.  However, this statement does not
apply to the <<atomic-legacy, "OpenCL C 1.x Legacy Atomics">> descriptions at
the end of this sub-section.

The OpenCL C programming language implements a subset of the C11 atomics
(refer to <<C11-spec,section 7.17 of the C11 Specification>>) and
synchronization operations.
These operations play a special role in making assignments in one work-item
visible to another.
A synchronization operation on one or more memory locations is either an
acquire operation, a release operation, or both an acquire and release
operation footnote:[{fn-atomic-no-consume}].
A synchronization operation without an associated memory location is a fence
and can be either an acquire fence, a release fence or both an acquire and
release fence.
In addition, there are relaxed atomic operations, which are not
synchronization operations, and atomic read-modify-write operations which
have special characteristics.

The types include

[none]
* `memory_order`

which is an enumerated type whose enumerators identify memory ordering
constraints;

[none]
* `memory_scope`

which is an enumerated type whose enumerators identify scope of memory
ordering constraints;

[none]
* `atomic_flag`

which is a 32-bit integer type representing a primitive atomic flag; and
several atomic analogs of integer types.

In the following operation definitions:

  * An A refers to one of the atomic types.
  * A C refers to its corresponding non-atomic type.
  * An M refers to the type of the other argument for arithmetic operations.
    For atomic integer types, M is C.
  * The functions not ending in explicit have the same semantics as the
    corresponding explicit function with `memory_order_seq_cst` for the
    `memory_order` argument.
  * The functions that do not have `memory_scope` argument have the same
    semantics as the corresponding functions with the `memory_scope`
    argument set to `memory_scope_device`.

[NOTE]
====
With fine-grained system SVM, sharing happens at the granularity of
individual loads and stores anywhere in host memory.
Memory consistency is always guaranteed at synchronization points, but to
obtain finer control over consistency, the OpenCL atomics functions may be
used to ensure that the updates to individual data values made by one unit
of execution are visible to other execution units.
In particular, when a host thread needs fine control over the consistency of
memory that is shared with one or more OpenCL devices, it must use atomic
and fence operations that are compatible with the C11 atomic operations.

We can't require <<C11-spec,C11 atomics>> since host programs can be
implemented in other programming languages and versions of C or {cpp}, but we
do require that the host programs use atomics and that those atomics be
compatible with those in C11.

==== The `ATOMIC_VAR_INIT` Macro

[open,refpage='ATOMIC_VAR_INIT',desc='ATOMIC_VAR_INIT macro',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='the-atomic_var_init-macro',xrefs='atomicFunctions atomic_init']
--

The `ATOMIC_VAR_INIT` macro expands to a token sequence suitable for
initializing an atomic object of a type that is initialization-compatible
with value.
An atomic object with automatic storage duration that is not explicitly
initialized using `ATOMIC_VAR_INIT` is initially in an indeterminate state;
however, the default (zero) initialization for objects with `static` storage
duration is guaranteed to produce a valid state.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
#define ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(C value)
----------

This macro can only be used to initialize atomic objects that are declared
in program scope in the `global` address space.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
global atomic_int guide = ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(42);
----------

Concurrent access to the variable being initialized, even via an atomic
operation, constitutes a data-race.

==== The atomic_init Function

[open,refpage='atomic_init',desc='The atomic_init function',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='the-atomic_init-function',xrefs='atomicFunctions ATOMIC_VAR_INIT']
--

The `atomic_init` function non-atomically initializes the atomic object
pointed to by _obj_ to the value _value_.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Requires OpenCL C 3.0 or newer.
void atomic_init(volatile __global A *obj, C value)
void atomic_init(volatile __local A *obj, C value)

// Requires OpenCL C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and the
// __opencl_c_generic_address_space feature.
void atomic_init(volatile A *obj, C value)
----------

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
local atomic_int guide;
if (get_local_id(0) == 0)
    atomic_init(&guide, 42);
work_group_barrier(CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE);
----------

NOTE: The function variant that uses the generic address space, i.e. no

constraints given by `memory_order` apply to work-items in a sub-group,
work-items in a work-group, or work-items from one or more kernels executing
on the device or across devices (in the case of shared virtual memory).

// This is no longer correct given `memory_scope_sub_group`.

--
The following fence operations are supported.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
void atomic_work_item_fence(cl_mem_fence_flags flags,
                            memory_order order,
                            memory_scope scope)

// Older syntax memory fences are equivalent to atomic_work_item_fence with the
// same flags parameter, memory_scope_work_group scope, and ordering as follows:
void mem_fence(cl_mem_fence_flags flags)        // memory_order_acq_rel
void read_mem_fence(cl_mem_fence_flags flags)   // memory_order_acquire
void write_mem_fence(cl_mem_fence_flags flags)  // memory_order_release
----------

`flags` must be set to `CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE`, `CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE`,
`CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE` or a combination of these values ORed together;
otherwise the behavior is undefined.
The behavior of calling `atomic_work_item_fence` with `CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE`
ORed together with either `CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE` or `CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE` is
equivalent to calling `atomic_work_item_fence` individually for
`CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE` and the other flags.
Passing both `CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE` and `CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE` to
`atomic_work_item_fence` will synchronize memory operations to both `local`
and `global` memory through some shared atomic action, as described in
<<opencl-spec,section 3.3.6.2 of the OpenCL Specification>>.

Depending on the value of order, this operation:

  * has no effects, if _order_ == `memory_order_relaxed`.
  * is an acquire fence, if _order_ == `memory_order_acquire`.
  * is a release fence, if _order_ == `memory_order_release`.
  * is both an acquire fence and a release fence, if _order_ ==
    `memory_order_acq_rel`.
  * is a sequentially consistent acquire and release fence, if _order_ ==
    `memory_order_seq_cst`.

For images declared with the `read_write` qualifier, the
`atomic_work_item_fence` must be called to make sure that writes to the
image by a work-item become visible to that work-item on subsequent reads to
that image by that work-item.

NOTE: The use of memory order and scope enumerations must respect the
<<atomic-restrictions,restrictions section below>>.

----------

The `failure` argument shall not be `memory_order_release` nor
`memory_order_acq_rel`.
The `failure` argument shall be no stronger than the `success` argument.
Atomically, compares the value pointed to by `object` for equality with that
in `expected`, and if _true_, replaces the value pointed to by `object` with
`desired`, and if _false_, updates the value in `expected` with the value
pointed to by `object`.
Further, if the comparison is _true_, memory is affected according to the
value of `success`, and if the comparison is _false_, memory is affected
according to the value of `failure`.
If the comparison is _true_, these operations are atomic read-modify-write operations (as defined by
<<C11-spec,section 5.1.2.4 of the C11 Specification>>).
Otherwise, these operations are atomic load operations.

[NOTE]
====
The effect of the compare-and-exchange operations is

[source,opencl_c]
----------
if (memcmp(object, expected, sizeof(*object)) == 0) {
    memcpy(object, &desired, sizeof(*object));
} else {
    memcpy(expected, object, sizeof(*object));
}
----------
====

The weak compare-and-exchange operations may fail spuriously
footnote:[{fn-atomic-weak-rationale}].
That is, even when the contents of memory referred to by `expected` and
`object` are equal, it may return zero and store back to `expected` the same
memory contents that were originally there.

These generic functions return the result of the comparison.

NOTE: The non-explicit `atomic_compare_exchange_strong` and
`atomic_compare_exchange_weak` functions <<unified-spec, requires>> support
for OpenCL C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and both the
{opencl_c_atomic_order_seq_cst} and {opencl_c_atomic_scope_device}
features.
For the explicit variants, memory order and scope enumerations must respect the
<<atomic-restrictions,restrictions section below>>.

NOTE: The function variants that use the generic address space, i.e. no
explicit address space is listed, <<unified-spec, require>> support for OpenCL
C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and the {opencl_c_generic_address_space}

The following operations perform arithmetic and bitwise computations.
All of these operations are applicable to an object of any atomic integer
type.
The key, operator, and computation correspondence is given in table below:

[cols=",,",options="header",]
|====
| *key* | *op*   | *computation*
| `add` | *+*    | addition
| `sub` | *-*    | subtraction
| `or`  | *\|*   | bitwise inclusive or
| `xor` | *^*    | bitwise exclusive or
| `and` | *&*    | bitwise and
| `min` | *min*  | compute min
| `max` | *max*  | compute max
|====

[NOTE]
====
For *atomic_fetch* and modify functions with *key* = `add` or `sub` on
atomic types `atomic_intptr_t` and `atomic_uintptr_t`, `M` is `ptrdiff_t`.
For *atomic_fetch* and modify functions with *key* = `or`, `xor`, `and`,
`min` and `max` on atomic type `atomic_intptr_t`, `M` is `intptr_t`,
and on atomic type `atomic_uintptr_t`, `M` is `uintptr_t`.

----------

Atomically replaces the value pointed to by `object` with the result of the
computation applied to the value pointed to by `object` and the given
operand.
Memory is affected according to the value of `order`.
These operations are atomic read-modify-write operations (as defined by
<<C11-spec,section 5.1.2.4 of the C11 Specification>>).
For signed integer types, arithmetic is defined to use two's complement
representation with silent wrap-around on overflow; there are no undefined
results.
For address types, the result may be an undefined address, but the
operations otherwise have no undefined behavior.
Returns atomically the value pointed to by `object` immediately before the
effects.

NOTE: The non-explicit `atomic_fetch_key` functions <<unified-spec, require>>
support for OpenCL C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and both the
{opencl_c_atomic_order_seq_cst} and {opencl_c_atomic_scope_device}
features.
For the explicit variants, memory order and scope enumerations must respect the
<<atomic-restrictions,restrictions section below>>.

NOTE: The function variants that use the generic address space, i.e. no
explicit address space is listed, <<unified-spec, require>> support for OpenCL

[[atomic_flag]]
===== Atomic Flag Type and Operations

[open,refpage='atomic_flag',desc='Atomic Flag Type and Operations',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='atomic_flag',xrefs='atomicFunctions atomicTypes atomic_compare_exchange atomic_exchange atomic_fetch_key atomic_flag atomic_flag_clear atomic_flag_test_and_set atomic_flag_test_and_set_explicit atomic_init atomic_load atomic_store atomic_work_item_fence']
--
The `atomic_flag` type provides the classic test-and-set functionality.
It has two states, _set_ (value is non-zero) and _clear_ (value is 0).

In OpenCL C 2.0 Operations on an object of type `atomic_flag` shall be
lock-free, in OpenCL C 3.0 or newer they may be lock-free.

The macro `ATOMIC_FLAG_INIT` may be used to initialize an `atomic_flag` to the
_clear_ state.
An `atomic_flag` that is not explicitly initialized with `ATOMIC_FLAG_INIT` is
initially in an indeterminate state.

This macro can only be used for atomic objects that are declared in program
scope in the `global` address space with the `atomic_flag` type.

Example:

global atomic_flag guard = ATOMIC_FLAG_INIT;

[[atomic-legacy]]
==== OpenCL C 1.x Legacy Atomics

IMPORTANT: The atomic functions described in this sub-section <<unified-spec,
require>> support for OpenCL C 1.1 or newer, and are <<unified-spec,
deprecated by>> OpenCL C 2.0.

OpenCL C 1.x had support for relaxed atomic operations via built-in functions
that could operate on any memory address in `{global}` or `{local}` spaces.
Unlike C11 style atomics these did not require using dedicated atomic types,
and instead operated on 32-bit signed integers, 32-bit unsigned integers, and
only in the case of **atomic_xchg** additionally single precision floating-point.
These were equivalent to atomic operations with `memory_order_relaxed`
consistency, and `memory_scope_work_group` scope.

NOTE: Some implementations may implement legacy atomics with a stricter memory
consistency order than `memory_order_relaxed` or a broader scope than
`memory_scope_work_group`.
This is because all the stricter orders and broader scopes fully satisfy the
semantics of the minimum requirements.

The OpenCL C programming language implements the following additional
built-in vector functions.
We use the generic type name `gentype__n__` (or `gentype__m__`) to indicate the
built-in data types `char__n__`, `uchar__n__`, `short__n__`,
`ushort__n__`,
`int__n__`, `uint__n__`, `long__n__`
footnote:[{fn-int64-supported}], `ulong__n__`, `half__n__` footnote:[{fn-half-supported}], `float__n__`, or
`double__n__` footnote:[{fn-double-supported}] as the type for
the arguments unless otherwise stated.
We use the generic name `ugentype__n__` to indicate the built-in unsigned
integer data types.
_n_ is 2, 4, 8, or 16.

    | The *vec_step* built-in function takes a built-in scalar or vector
      data type argument and returns an integer value representing the
      number of elements in the scalar or vector.  The argument is not
      evaluated.

      For all scalar types, *vec_step* returns 1.

      The *vec_step* built-in functions that take a 3-component vector
      return 4.

      *vec_step* may also take a type name as an argument, e.g.
      *vec_step*(float2)

                           ugentype__n__ _mask_)
   a| The *shuffle* and *shuffle2* built-in functions construct a
      permutation of elements from one or two input vectors respectively
      that are of the same type, returning a vector with the same element
      type as the input and length that is the same as the shuffle mask.
      The size of each element in the _mask_ must match the size of each
      element in the result.
      For *shuffle*, only the *ilogb*(2__m__-1) least significant bits of each
      _mask_ element are considered.
      For *shuffle2*, only the *ilogb*(2__m__-1)+1 least significant bits of
      each _mask_ element are considered.
      Other bits in the mask shall be ignored.

The elements of the input vectors are numbered from left to right across one
or both of the vectors.
For this purpose, the number of elements in a vector is given by
*vec_step*(gentype__m__).
The shuffle _mask_ operand specifies, for each element of the result vector,
which element of the one or two input vectors the result element gets.

<<unified-spec, Requires>> support for OpenCL C 1.1 or newer.

IMPORTANT: *printf* <<unified-spec, requires>> support for OpenCL C 1.2.

The OpenCL C programming language implements the *printf* function.

[[table-printf]]
.Built-in printf Function
[cols=",",options="header",]
|====
| Function | Description
| int **printf**(constant char *restrict _format_, ...)
    | The *printf* built-in function writes output to an
      implementation-defined stream such as stdout under control of the
      string pointed to by _format_ that specifies how subsequent arguments
      are converted for output.
      If there are insufficient arguments for the format, the behavior is
      undefined.
      If the format is exhausted while arguments remain, the excess
      arguments are evaluated (as always) but are otherwise ignored.
      The *printf* function returns when the end of the format string is
      encountered.

      *printf* returns 0 if it was executed successfully and -1 otherwise.
|====

[[printf-output-synchronization]]
==== printf Output Synchronization

When the event that is associated with a particular kernel invocation is
completed, the output of all printf() calls executed by this kernel
invocation is flushed to the implementation-defined output stream.
Calling {clFinish} on a command-queue flushes all pending output by printf
in previously enqueued and completed commands to the implementation-defined
output stream.
In the case that printf is executed from multiple work-items concurrently,
there is no guarantee of ordering with respect to written data.
For example, it is valid for the output of a work-item with a global id
(0,0,1) to appear intermixed with the output of a work-item with a global id
(0,0,4) and so on.


[[printf-format-string]]
==== printf Format String

The format shall be a character sequence, beginning and ending in its
initial shift state.
The format is composed of zero or more directives: ordinary characters (not
*%*), which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion
specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent
arguments, converting them, if applicable, according to the corresponding
conversion specifier, and then writing the result to the output stream.
The format is in the constant address space and must be resolvable at
compile time, i.e. cannot be dynamically created by the executing program
itself.

Each conversion specification is introduced by the character *%*.
After the *%*, the following appear in sequence:

  * Zero or more _flags_ (in any order) that modify the meaning of the
    conversion specification.
  * An optional minimum _field width_.
    If the converted value has fewer characters than the field width, it is
    padded with spaces (by default) on the left (or right, if the left
    adjustment flag, described later, has been given) to the field width.
    The field width takes the form of a nonnegative decimal integer
    footnote:[{fn-printf-field-width}].
  * An optional __precision__ that gives the minimum number of digits to
    appear for the *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, and *X* conversions, the number
    of digits to appear after the decimal-point character for *a*, *A*, *e*,
    *E*, *f*, and *F* conversions, the maximum number of significant digits
    for the *g* and *G* conversions, or the maximum number of bytes to be
    written for *s* conversions.
    The precision takes the form of a period (*.*) followed by an optional
    decimal integer; if only the period is specified, the precision is taken
    as zero.
    If a precision appears with any other conversion specifier, the behavior
    is undefined.
  * An optional _vector specifier_.
  * A __length modifier__ that specifies the size of the argument.
    The _length modifier_ is required with a vector specifier and together
    specifies the vector type.
    <<implicit-conversions,Implicit conversions>> between vector types are
    disallowed.
    If the _vector specifier_ is not specified, the _length modifier_ is
    optional.
  * A __conversion specifier__ character that specifies the type of
    conversion to be applied.

The flag characters and their meanings are:

*-* The result of the conversion is left-justified within the field.
(It is right-justified if this flag is not specified.)

*+* The result of a signed conversion always begins with a plus or minus
sign.
(It begins with a sign only when a negative value is converted if this flag
is not specified.) footnote:[{fn-printf-minus-sign}]

_space_ If the first character of a signed conversion is not a sign, or if a
signed conversion results in no characters, a space is prefixed to the
result.
If the __space__ and *+* flags both appear, the _space_ flag is ignored.

*#* The result is converted to an "`alternative form`".
For *o* conversion, it increases the precision, if and only if necessary,
to force the first digit of the result to be a zero (if the value and
precision are both 0, a single 0 is printed).
For *x* (or *X*) conversion, a nonzero result has *0x* (or *0X*)
prefixed to it.
For *a*, *A*, *e*, *E*, *f*, *F*, *g*, and *G* conversions,
the result of converting a floating-point number always contains a
decimal-point character, even if no digits follow it.
(Normally, a decimal-point character appears in the result of these
conversions only if a digit follows it.) For *g* and *G* conversions,
trailing zeros are *not* removed from the result.
For other conversions, the behavior is undefined.

*0* For *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, *X*, *a*, *A*, *e*,
*E*, *f*, *F*, *g*, and *G* conversions, leading zeros (following
any indication of sign or base) are used to pad to the field width rather
than performing space padding, except when converting an infinity or NaN.
If the *0* and *-* flags both appear, the *0* flag is ignored.
For *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, and *X* conversions, if a precision
is specified, the *0* flag is ignored.
For other conversions, the behavior is undefined.

The vector specifier and its meaning is:

**v**__n__ Specifies that a following *a*, *A*, *e*, *E*, *f*, *F*, *g*, *G*,
*d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, or *X* conversion specifier applies to a vector
argument, where __n__ is the size of the vector and must be 2, 3, 4, 8 or 16.

The vector value is displayed in the following general form:

[none]
* value1 C value2 C ... C value__n__

where C is a separator character.
The value for this separator character is a comma.

If the vector specifier is not used, the length modifiers and their meanings
are:

*hh* Specifies that a following *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, or *X* conversion
specifier applies to a `char` or `uchar` argument (the argument will have
been promoted according to the integer promotions, but its value shall be
converted to `char` or `uchar` before printing).

*h* Specifies that a following *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, or *X* conversion
specifier applies to a `short` or `ushort` argument (the argument will have
been promoted according to the integer promotions, but its value shall be
converted to `short` or `unsigned short` before printing).

*l* (ell) Specifies that a following *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, or *X*
conversion specifier applies to a `long` or `ulong` argument.
The *l* modifier is supported by the full profile.
For the embedded profile, the *l* modifier is supported only if 64-bit
integers are supported by the device.

If the vector specifier is used, the length modifiers and their meanings
are:

*hh* Specifies that a following *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, or *X* conversion
specifier applies to a `char__n__` or `uchar__n__` argument (the argument
will not be promoted).

*h* Specifies that a following *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, or *X* conversion
specifier applies to a `short__n__` or `ushort__n__` argument (the argument
will not be promoted); that a following *a*, *A*, *e*, *E*, *f*, *F*, *g*,
or *G* conversion specifier applies to a `half__n__`
footnote:[{fn-half-supported}] argument.

*hl* This modifier can only be used with the vector specifier.
Specifies that a following *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, or *X* conversion
specifier applies to a `int__n__` or `uint__n__` argument; that a following
*a*, *A*, *e*, *E*, *f*, *F*, *g*, or *G* conversion specifier applies to a
`float__n__` argument.

**l**(ell) Specifies that a following *d*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *x*, or *X*
conversion specifier applies to a `long__n__` or `ulong__n__` argument; that
a following *a*, *A*, *e*, *E*, *f*, *F*, *g*, or *G* conversion specifier
applies to a `double__n__` argument.
The *l* modifier is supported by the full profile.
For the embedded profile, the *l* modifier is supported only if 64-bit
integers or double-precision floating-point are supported by the device.

If a vector specifier appears without a length modifier, the behavior is
undefined.
The vector data type described by the vector specifier and length modifier
must match the data type of the argument; otherwise the behavior is
undefined.

If a length modifier appears with any conversion specifier other than as
specified above, the behavior is undefined.

The conversion specifiers and their meanings are:

**d,i** The `int`, `char__n__`, `short__n__`, `int__n__` or `long__n__`
argument is converted to signed decimal in the style __[__**-**_]dddd_.
The precision specifies the minimum number of digits to appear; if the value
being converted can be represented in fewer digits, it is expanded with
leading zeros.
The default precision is 1.
The result of converting a zero value with a precision of zero is no
characters.

*o,u,*

*x,X* The `uint`, `uchar__n__`, `ushort__n__`, `uint__n__` or
`ulong__n__` argument is converted to unsigned octal (*o*), unsigned decimal
(*u*), or unsigned hexadecimal notation (*x* or *X*) in the style _dddd_;
the letters *abcdef* are used for *x* conversion and the letters *ABCDEF*
for *X* conversion.
The precision specifies the minimum number of digits to appear; if the value
being converted can be represented in fewer digits, it is expanded with
leading zeros.
The default precision is 1.
The result of converting a zero value with a precision of zero is no
characters.

**f,F** A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` argument
representing a floating-point number is converted to decimal notation in the
style __[__**-**__]ddd__**.**_ddd_, where the number of digits after the
decimal-point character is equal to the precision specification.
If the precision is missing, it is taken as 6; if the precision is zero and
the **# **flag is not specified, no decimal-point character appears.
If a decimal-point character appears, at least one digit appears before it.
The value is rounded to the appropriate number of digits.
A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` argument representing
an infinity is converted in one of the styles __[__**-**__]__**inf **or
__[__**-**__]__**infinity ** -- which style is implementation-defined.
A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` argument representing
a NaN is converted in one of the styles __[__**-**__]__**nan **or
__[__**-**__]__**nan(**__n-char-sequence__**) **
-- which style, and the meaning of any _n-char-sequence_, is
implementation-defined.
The *F* conversion specifier produces `INF`, `INFINITY`, or `NAN` instead of
*inf*, *infinity*, or *nan*, respectively footnote:[{fn-printf-infinity-nan}].

**e,E** A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` argument
representing a floating-point number is converted in the style
__[__**-**__]d__**.**__ddd __**e{plusmn}**_dd_, where there is one digit
(which is nonzero if the argument is nonzero) before the decimal-point
character and the number of digits after it is equal to the precision; if
the precision is missing, it is taken as 6; if the precision is zero and the
*#* flag is not specified, no decimal-point character appears.
The value is rounded to the appropriate number of digits.
The *E* conversion specifier produces a number with *E* instead of *e*
introducing the exponent.
The exponent always contains at least two digits, and only as many more
digits as necessary to represent the exponent.
If the value is zero, the exponent is zero.
A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` argument representing
an infinity or NaN is converted in the style of an *f* or *F* conversion
specifier.

**g,G** A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` argument
representing a floating-point number is converted in style *f* or *e* (or in
style *F* or *E* in the case of a *G* conversion specifier), depending on
the value converted and the precision.
Let __P __equal the precision if nonzero, 6 if the precision is omitted, or
1 if the precision is zero.
Then, if a conversion with style *E* would have an exponent of _X_: -- if
_P_ > _X_ {geq} -4, the conversion is with style *f* (or *F*) and precision
_P_ *-* (_X_ *+* 1).
-- otherwise, the conversion is with style *e *(or *E*) and precision _P_
*-* 1.
Finally, unless the *#* flag is used, any trailing zeros are removed from
the fractional portion of the result and the decimal-point character is
removed if there is no fractional portion remaining.
A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` *e* argument
representing an infinity or NaN is converted in the style of an *f* or *F*
conversion specifier.

**a,A** A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` argument
representing a floating-point number is converted in the style
__[__**-**__]__**0x**__h__**.**__hhhh __**p{plusmn}**_d_, where there is one
hexadecimal digit (which is nonzero if the argument is a normalized
floating-point number and is otherwise unspecified) before the decimal-point
character footnote:[{fn-printf-hex-float}] and the number of hexadecimal digits
after it is equal to the precision; if the precision is missing, then the
precision is sufficient for an exact representation of the value; if the
precision is zero and the *#* flag is not specified, no decimal point character
appears.
The letters *abcdef* are used for *a* conversion and the letters *ABCDEF*
for *A* conversion.
The *A* conversion specifier produces a number with *X* and *P* instead of
*x* and *p*.
The exponent always contains at least one digit, and only as many more
digits as necessary to represent the decimal exponent of 2.
If the value is zero, the exponent is zero.
A `double`, `half__n__`, `float__n__` or `double__n__` argument representing
an infinity or NaN is converted in the style of an *f* or *F* conversion
specifier.

[NOTE]
====
The conversion specifiers *e,E,g,G,a,A* convert a `float` or `half` argument
that is a scalar type to a `double` only if <<double-precision, double
precision is supported>>.
Otherwise, the argument will be a `float` instead of a `double` and the
`half` type will be converted to a `float`.
====

*c* The `int` argument is converted to an `unsigned char`, and the resulting
character is written.

*s* The argument shall be a literal string
footnote:[{fn-printf-literal-string}].
Characters from the literal string array are written up to (but not
including) the terminating null character.
If the precision is specified, no more than that many bytes are written.
If the precision is not specified or is greater than the size of the array,
the array shall contain a null character.

*p* The argument shall be a pointer to *void*.
The pointer can refer to a memory region in the `global`, `constant`,
`local`, `private`, or generic address space.
The value of the pointer is converted to a sequence of printing characters
in an implementation-defined manner.

*%* A *%* character is written.
No argument is converted.
The complete conversion specification shall be *%%*.

If a conversion specification is invalid, the behavior is undefined.
If any argument is not the correct type for the corresponding conversion
specification, the behavior is undefined.

In no case does a nonexistent or small field width cause truncation of a
field; if the result of a conversion is wider than the field width, the
field is expanded to contain the conversion result.

For *a* and *A* conversions, the value is correctly rounded to a hexadecimal
floating number with the given precision.

A few examples of printf are given below:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
float4  f = (float4)(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f);
uchar4 uc = (uchar4)(0xFA, 0xFB, 0xFC, 0xFD);

printf("f4 = %2.2v4hlf\n", f);
printf("uc = %#v4hhx\n", uc);
----------

The above two printf calls print the following:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
f4 = 1.00,2.00,3.00,4.00
uc = 0xfa,0xfb,0xfc,0xfd
----------

A few examples of valid use cases of printf for the conversion specifier *s*
are given below.
The argument value must be a pointer to a literal string.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void my_kernel( ... )
{
    printf("%s\n", "this is a test string\n");
}
----------

A few examples of invalid use cases of printf for the conversion specifier
*s* are given below:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void my_kernel(global char *s, ... )
{
    printf("%s\n", s);
    constant char *p = "`this is a test string\n`";
    printf("%s\n", p);
    printf("%s\n", &p[3]);
}
----------

A few examples of invalid use cases of printf where data types given by the
vector specifier and length modifier do not match the argument type are
given below:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void my_kernel(global char *s, ... )
{
    uint2 ui = (uint2)(0x12345678, 0x87654321);

    printf("unsigned short value = (%#v2hx)\n", ui)
    printf("unsigned char value = (%#v2hhx)\n", ui)
}

[[differences-between-opencl-c-and-c99-printf]]
==== Differences Between OpenCL C and C99 printf

  * The *l* modifier followed by a *c* conversion specifier or *s*
    conversion specifier is not supported by OpenCL C.
  * The *ll*, *j*, *z*, *t*, and *L* length modifiers are not supported by
    OpenCL C but are reserved.
  * The *n* conversion specifier is not supported by OpenCL C but is
    reserved.
  * OpenCL C adds the optional *v*__n__ vector specifier to support printing
    of vector types.
  * The conversion specifiers *f*, *F*, *e*, *E*, *g*, *G*, *a*, *A* convert
    a `float` argument to a `double` only if the `double` data type is
    supported.
    Refer to the value of the <<opencl-device-queries,
    {CL_DEVICE_DOUBLE_FP_CONFIG} device query>>.
    If the `double` data type is not supported, the argument will be a
    `float` instead of a `double`.
  * For the embedded profile, the *l* length modifier is supported only if
    64-bit integers are supported.
  * In OpenCL C, *printf* returns 0 if it was executed successfully and -1
    otherwise vs.
    C99 where *printf* returns the number of characters printed or a
    negative value if an output or encoding error occurred.
  * In OpenCL C, the conversion specifier *s* can only be used for arguments
    that are literal strings.


[[image-read-and-write-functions]]
=== Image Read and Write Functions

The built-in functions defined in this section can only be used with image
memory objects.
An image memory object can be accessed by specific function calls that read
from and/or write to specific locations in the image.

Support for the image built-in functions is optional.
If a device supports images then the value of the <<opencl-device-queries,
{CL_DEVICE_IMAGE_SUPPORT} device query>>) is {CL_TRUE} and the OpenCL C
compiler for that device must define the `+__IMAGE_SUPPORT__+` macro.
A compiler for OpenCL C 3.0 or newer for that device must also support the
{opencl_c_images} feature.

Image memory objects that are being read by a kernel should be declared with
the `read_only` qualifier.
*write_image* calls to image memory objects declared with the read_only
qualifier will generate a compilation error.
Image memory objects that are being written to by a kernel should be
declared with the write_only qualifier.
*read_image* calls to image memory objects declared with the `write_only`
qualifier will generate a compilation error.
*read_image* and *write_image* calls to the same image memory object in a
kernel are supported.
Image memory objects that are being read and written by a kernel should be
declared with the `read_write` qualifier.

The *read_image* calls returns a four component floating-point, integer or
unsigned integer color value.
The color values returned by *read_image* are identified as _x_, _y_, _z_,
_w_ where _x_ refers to the red component, _y_ refers to the green
component, _z_ refers to the blue component and _w_ refers to the alpha
component.


[[samplers]]
==== Samplers

[open,refpage='samplers',desc='Image Samplers',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='samplers',alias='sampler_t']
--

The image read functions take a sampler argument.
The sampler can be passed as an argument to the kernel using
{clSetKernelArg}, or can be declared in the outermost scope of kernel
functions, or it can be a constant variable of type `sampler_t` declared in
the program source.

Sampler variables in a program are declared to be of type `sampler_t`.
A variable of `sampler_t` type declared in the program source must be
initialized with a 32-bit unsigned integer constant, which is interpreted as
a bit-field specifying the following properties:

  * Addressing Mode
  * Filter Mode
  * Normalized Coordinates

These properties control how elements of an image object are read by
*read_image{f|i|ui}*.

Samplers can also be declared as global constants in the program source
using the following syntax.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
const sampler_t <sampler name> = <value>
----------

or

[source,opencl_c]
----------
constant sampler_t <sampler name> = <value>
----------

or

[source,opencl_c]
----------
__constant sampler_t <sampler_name> = <value>
----------

Note that samplers declared using the `constant` qualifier are not counted
towards the maximum number of arguments pointing to the constant address
space or the maximum size of the `constant` address space allowed per device
(i.e. the value of the <<opencl-device-queries,
{CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_ARGS}>> and <<opencl-device-queries,
{CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SIZE}>> device queries).

The sampler fields are described in the following table.

[[table-sampler-descriptor]]
.Sampler Descriptor
[cols=",",options="header",]
|====
| Sampler State | Description
| `<normalized coords>`
    | Specifies whether the _x_, _y_ and _z_ coordinates are passed in as
      normalized or unnormalized values.
      This must be a literal value and can be one of the following
      predefined enums:

      `CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_TRUE` or `CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE`.

      The samplers used with an image in multiple calls to
      *read_image{f\|i\|ui}* declared in a kernel must use the same value
      for <normalized coords>.
| `<addressing mode>`
    | Specifies the image addressing mode, i.e. how out-of-range image
      coordinates are handled.
      This must be a literal value and can be one of the following
      predefined enums:

      `CLK_ADDRESS_MIRRORED_REPEAT` - Flip the image coordinate at every
      integer junction.
      This addressing mode can only be used with normalized coordinates.
      If normalized coordinates are not used, this addressing mode may
      generate image coordinates that are undefined.

      `CLK_ADDRESS_REPEAT` - out-of-range image coordinates are wrapped to
      the valid range.
      This addressing mode can only be used with normalized coordinates.
      If normalized coordinates are not used, this addressing mode may
      generate image coordinates that are undefined.

      `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE` - out-of-range image coordinates are
      clamped to the extent.

      `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP` - out-of-range image coordinates will return a
      border color footnote:[{fn-CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP}].

      `CLK_ADDRESS_NONE` - for this addressing mode the programmer
      guarantees that the image coordinates used to sample elements of the
      image refer to a location inside the image; otherwise the results are
      undefined.

      For 1D and 2D image arrays, the addressing mode applies only to the
      _x_ and (_x, y_) coordinates.
      The addressing mode for the coordinate which specifies the array index
      is always `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE`.

| `<filter mode>`
    | Specifies the filter mode to use.
      This must be a literal value and can be one of the following
      predefined enums: `CLK_FILTER_NEAREST` or `CLK_FILTER_LINEAR`.

      Refer to the <<addressing-and-filter-modes,detailed description of
      these filter modes>>.
|====

*Examples*:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
const sampler_t samplerA = CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_TRUE |
                           CLK_ADDRESS_REPEAT |
                           CLK_FILTER_NEAREST;
----------

`samplerA` specifies a sampler that uses normalized coordinates, the repeat
addressing mode and a nearest filter.

The maximum number of samplers that can be declared in a kernel can be
queried using the {CL_DEVICE_MAX_SAMPLERS} token in {clGetDeviceInfo}.
--


[[determining-the-border-color-or-value]]
===== Determining the Border Color or Value

If `<addressing mode>` in sampler is `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP`, then out-of-range
image coordinates return the border color.
The border color selected depends on the image channel order and can be one
of the following values:

    * If the image channel order is {CL_A}, {CL_INTENSITY}, {CL_Rx},
      {CL_RA}, {CL_RGx}, {CL_RGBx}, {CL_sRGBx}, {CL_ARGB}, {CL_BGRA},
      {CL_ABGR}, {CL_RGBA}, {CL_sRGBA} or {CL_sBGRA}, the border color is
      `(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)`.
    * If the image channel order is {CL_R}, {CL_RG}, {CL_RGB}, or
      {CL_LUMINANCE}, the border color is `(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)`.
    * If the image channel order is {CL_DEPTH}, the border value is `0.0f`.


[[srgb-images]]
===== sRGB Images

The built-in image read functions will perform sRGB to linear RGB
conversions if the image is an sRGB image.
Likewise, the built-in image write functions perform the linear to
sRGB conversion if the image is an sRGB image.

Only the R, G and B components are converted from linear to sRGB and
vice-versa.
The alpha component is returned as is.

NOTE: Sampler-less image read functions <<unified-spec, require>> support for
OpenCL C 1.2 or newer, with some functions requiring support for newer
versions of OpenCL C as noted in the <<table-image-samplerless-read, table
below>>.

The sampler-less image read functions behave exactly as the corresponding
<<built-in-image-read-functions,built-in image read functions>> that take
integer coordinates and a sampler with filter mode set to
`CLK_FILTER_NEAREST`, normalized coordinates set to
`CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE` and addressing mode to `CLK_ADDRESS_NONE`.
There is one exception when the _image_channel_data_type_ is a floating-point
type (such as {CL_FLOAT}).
In this exceptional case, when channel data values are denormalized, the
sampler-less image read function may return the denormalized data, while
the image read function with a sampler argument may flush the denormalized
channel data values to zero.

_aQual_ in the following table refers to one of the access qualifiers.
For sampler-less read functions this may be `read_only` or `read_write`.

==== Reading and Writing to the Same Image in a Kernel

The *atomic_work_item_fence*(`CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE`) built-in function can be
used to make sure that sampler-less writes are visible to later reads by the
same work-item.
Only a scope of `memory_scope_work_item` and an order of
`memory_order_acq_rel` is valid for `atomic_work_item_fence` when passed the
`CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE` flag.
If multiple work-items are writing to and reading from multiple locations in
an image, the *work_group_barrier*(`CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE`) should be used.

Consider the following example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
foo(read_write image2d_t img, ... )
{
    int2 coord;
    coord.x = (int)get_global_id(0);
    coord.y = (int)get_global_id(1);

    float4 clr = read_imagef(img, coord);
    ...
    write_imagef(img, coord, clr);

    // required to ensure that following read from image at
    // location coord returns the latest color value.
    atomic_work_item_fence(
        CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE,
        memory_order_acq_rel,
        memory_scope_work_item);

    float4 clr_new = read_imagef(img, coord);

image element to the appropriate components in the `float4`, `int4` or
`uint4` vector data type for the color values returned by
*read_image{f|i|ui}* or supplied to *write_image{f|i|ui}*.
The unmapped components will be set to 0.0 for red, green and blue channels
and will be set to 1.0 for the alpha channel.

| {CL_A}            | (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, a)

For {CL_DEPTH} images, a scalar value is returned by *read_imagef* or
supplied to *write_imagef*.
<<unified-spec, Requires>> support for OpenCL C 2.0 or newer, or for
the {cl_khr_depth_images_EXT} extension macro.

[NOTE]
====
A kernel that uses a sampler with the {CL_ADDRESS_CLAMP} addressing mode
with multiple images may result in additional samplers being used internally
by an implementation.
If the same sampler is used with multiple images called via
*read_image{f|i|ui}*, then it is possible that an implementation may need to
allocate an additional sampler to handle the different border color values
that may be needed depending on the image formats being used.
These implementation allocated samplers will count against the maximum
sampler values supported by the device and given by
{CL_DEVICE_MAX_SAMPLERS}.
Enqueuing a kernel that requires more samplers than the implementation can
support will result in a {CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES} error being returned.

This section describes built-in functions that perform collective options
across a work-group.
These built-in functions must be encountered by all work-items in a

We use the generic type name `gentype` to indicate the built-in data types
`half` footnote:[{fn-half-supported}], `int`, `uint`, `long`

| Function | Description
| int *work_group_all*(int _predicate_)
    | Evaluates _predicate_ for all work-items in the work-group and returns
      a non-zero value if _predicate_ evaluates to non-zero for all
      work-items in the work-group.
| int *work_group_any*(int _predicate_)
    | Evaluates _predicate_ for all work-items in the work-group and returns
      a non-zero value if _predicate_ evaluates to non-zero for any
      work-items in the work-group.
| gentype *work_group_broadcast*(gentype _a_, size_t _local_id_) +
  gentype *work_group_broadcast*(gentype _a_, size_t _local_id_x_,
  size_t _local_id_y_) +
  gentype *work_group_broadcast*(gentype _a_, size_t _local_id_x_,
  size_t _local_id_y_, size_t _local_id_z_)
    | Broadcast the value of _a_ for work-item identified by _local_id_ to
      all work-items in the work-group.

      Behavior is undefined when the value of _local_id_ is not equivalent for
      all work-items in the work-group.

      Behavior is undefined when _local_id_ is greater or equal to the
      work-group size in the corresponding dimension.
| gentype *work_group_reduce_<op>*(gentype _x_)
    | Return result of reduction operation specified by *<op>* for all
      values of _x_ specified by work-items in a work-group.
| gentype *work_group_scan_exclusive_<op>*(gentype _x_)
    | Do an exclusive scan operation specified by *<op>* of all values
      specified by work-items in the work-group. The scan results are
      returned for each work-item.

      The scan order is defined by increasing 1D linear global ID within the
      work-group.
| gentype *work_group_scan_inclusive_<op>*(gentype _x_)
    | Do an inclusive scan operation specified by *<op>* of all values
      specified by work-items in the work-group. The scan results are
      returned for each work-item.

      The scan order is defined by increasing 1D linear global ID within the
      work-group.
|====

The *<op>* in *work_group_reduce_<op>*, *work_group_scan_exclusive_<op>* and
*work_group_scan_inclusive_<op>* defines the operator and can be *add*,
*min* or *max*.

The inclusive scan operation takes a binary operator *op* with _n_ (where _n_
is the size of the work-group) elements [a~0~, a~1~, ... a~n-1~] and returns
[a~0~, (a~0~ *op* a~1~), ... (a~0~ *op* a~1~ *op* ...  *op* a~n-1~)].

Consider the following example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
void foo(int *p)
{
    ...
    int prefix_sum_val = work_group_scan_inclusive_add(
                            p[get_local_id(0)]);
}
----------

For the example above, let's assume that the work-group size is 8 and _p_
points to the following elements [3 1 7 0 4 1 6 3].
Work-item 0 calls *work_group_scan_inclusive_add* with 3 and returns 3.
Work-item 1 calls *work_group_scan_inclusive_add* with 1 and returns 4.
The full set of values returned by *work_group_scan_inclusive_add* for
work-items 0 ... 7 are [3 4 11 11 15 16 22 25].

The exclusive scan operation takes a binary associative operator *op* with
an identity I and n (where n is the size of the work-group) elements [a~0~,
a~1~, ... a~n-1~] and returns [I, a~0~, (a~0~ *op* a~1~), ... (a~0~ *op*
a~1~ *op* ... *op* a~n-2~)].
If *op* = add, the identity I is 0.
If *op* = min, the identity I is `INT_MAX`, `UINT_MAX`, `LONG_MAX`,
`ULONG_MAX`, for `int`, `uint`, `long`, `ulong` types and is `+INF` for
floating-point types.
Similarly if *op* = max, the identity I is `INT_MIN`, 0, `LONG_MIN`, 0 and
`-INF`.
For the example above, the exclusive scan add operation on the ordered set
[3 1 7 0 4 1 6 3] would return [0 3 4 11 11 15 16 22].

[NOTE]
====
The order of floating-point operations is not guaranteed for the
*work_group_reduce_<op>*, *work_group_scan_inclusive_<op>* and
*work_group_scan_exclusive_<op>* built-in functions that operate on `half`,
`float` and `double` data types.
The order of these floating-point operations is also non-deterministic for a
given work-group.

=== Pipe Functions

NOTE: The functionality described in this section <<unified-spec, requires>>
support for OpenCL C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and the {opencl_c_pipes} feature.

A pipe is identified by specifying the `pipe` keyword with a type.
The data type specifies the type of each element in the pipe.
The `pipe` keyword is a type specifier.
When it is applied to another type *T*, the result is a pipe type whose
elements (or packets) are of type *T*.
The packet type *T* may be any supported OpenCL C scalar and vector integer
or floating-point data types, or a user-defined type built from these scalar
and vector data types.

Examples:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
pipe int4 pipeA; // a pipe with int4 packets

pipe user_type_t pipeB; // a pipe with user_type_t packets
----------

The `read_only` (or `{read_only}`) and `write_only` (or `{write_only}`)
qualifiers must be used with the `pipe` specifier when a pipe is a parameter
of a kernel or of a user-defined function to identify if a pipe can be read
from or written to by a kernel and its callees and enqueued child kernels.
If no qualifier is specified, `read_only` is assumed.

A kernel cannot read from and write to the same pipe object.
Using the `read_write` (or `{read_write}`) qualifier with the `pipe`
specifier is a compilation error.

In the following example

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
foo (read_only pipe fooA_t pipeA,
     write_only pipe fooB_t pipeB)
{
    ...
}
----------

`pipeA` is a read-only pipe object, and `pipeB` is a write-only pipe object.

The macro `CLK_NULL_RESERVE_ID` refers to an invalid reservation ID.

==== Restrictions

  * Pipes can only be passed as arguments to a function (including kernel

If a packet index that is reserved for writing is not written to using the
*write_pipe* function, the contents of that packet in the pipe are
undefined.
*commit_read_pipe* and *work_group_commit_read_pipe* remove the entries
reserved for reading from the pipe.
*commit_write_pipe* and *work_group_commit_write_pipe* ensures that the
entries reserved for writing are all added in-order as one contiguous set of
packets to the pipe.

    reservation using *reserve_read_pipe* or *reserve_write_pipe*.
    The reservation ID cannot be passed to another kernel including child
    kernels.

NOTE: The functionality described in this section <<unified-spec, requires>>
support for OpenCL C 2.0, or OpenCL C 3.0 or newer and the
{opencl_c_device_enqueue} feature.

This section describes built-in functions that allow a kernel to
enqueue additional work to the same device, without host interaction.
A kernel may enqueue code represented by Block syntax, and control execution
order with event dependencies including user events and markers.
There are several advantages to using the Block syntax: it is more compact;
it does not require a cl_kernel object; and enqueuing can be done as a
single semantic step.

The following table describes the list of built-in functions that can be
used to enqueue a kernel(s).

ifdef::cl_khr_device_enqueue_local_arg_types[]
When the {cl_khr_device_enqueue_local_arg_types_EXT} extension macro is
supported, the <<table-builtin-kernel-enqueue, Built-in Kernel Enqueue
Functions>> and <<table-builtin-kernel-query, Built-in Kernel Query
Functions>> described in this section can use any of the built-in OpenCL C
scalar or vector integer or floating-point data types, or any user defined
type built from these scalar and vector data types, as the pointee type of
their arguments.
This is indicated by the generic type name `gentype` in those function
signatures.

When the  {cl_khr_device_enqueue_local_arg_types_EXT} extension macro is
not supported, the pointee type of these functions must be `void`.

:localArgType: gentype

:localArgType: void

The macro `CLK_NULL_EVENT` refers to an invalid device event.
The macro `CLK_NULL_QUEUE` refers to an invalid device queue.

  int **enqueue_kernel**(queue_t _queue_, kernel_enqueue_flags_t _flags_,

    | Enqueue the block for execution to _queue_.

      If an event is returned, *enqueue_kernel* performs an implicit retain
      on the returned event.
|====

The *enqueue_kernel* built-in function allows a work-item to enqueue a
block.
Work-items can enqueue multiple blocks to a device queue(s).

The *enqueue_kernel* built-in function returns `CLK_SUCCESS` if the block is
enqueued successfully and returns `CLK_ENQUEUE_FAILURE` otherwise.
If the -g compile option is specified in compiler options passed to
{clCompileProgram} or {clBuildProgram} when compiling or building the parent
program, the following errors may be returned instead of
`CLK_ENQUEUE_FAILURE` to indicate why *enqueue_kernel* failed to enqueue the
block:

  * `CLK_INVALID_QUEUE` if _queue_ is not a valid device queue.
  * `CLK_INVALID_NDRANGE` if _ndrange_ is not a valid ND-range descriptor or
    if the program was compiled with `-cl-uniform-work-group-size` and the
    _local_work_size_ is specified in _ndrange_ but the _global_work_size_
    specified in _ndrange_ is not a multiple of the _local_work_size_.
  * `CLK_INVALID_EVENT_WAIT_LIST` if _event_wait_list_ is `NULL` and
    _num_events_in_wait_list_ > 0, or if _event_wait_list_ is not `NULL` and
    _num_events_in_wait_list_ is 0, or if event objects in _event_wait_list_
    are not valid events.
  * `CLK_DEVICE_QUEUE_FULL` if _queue_ is full.
  * `CLK_INVALID_ARG_SIZE` if size of local memory arguments is 0.
  * `CLK_EVENT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE` if _event_ret_ is not `NULL` and an event
    could not be allocated.
  * `CLK_OUT_OF_RESOURCES` if there is a failure to queue the block in
    _queue_ because of insufficient resources needed to execute the kernel.

Below are some examples of how to enqueue a block.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
my_func_A(global int *a, global int *b, global int *c)
{
    ...
}

kernel void
my_func_B(global int *a, global int *b, global int *c)
{
    ndrange_t ndrange;
    // build ndrange information
    ...

    // example - enqueue a kernel as a block
    enqueue_kernel(get_default_queue(), ndrange,
                   ^{my_func_A(a, b, c);});

    ...
}

kernel void
my_func_C(global int *a, global int *b, global int *c)
{
    ndrange_t ndrange;
    // build ndrange information
    ...

    // note that a, b and c are variables in scope of
    // the block
    void (^my_block_A)(void) = ^{my_func_A(a, b, c);};

    // enqueue the block variable
    enqueue_kernel(get_default_queue(),
                   CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL,
                   ndrange,
                   my_block_A);
    ...
}
----------

The example below shows how to declare a block literal and enqueue it.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
my_func(global int *a, global int *b)
{
    ndrange_t ndrange;
    // build ndrange information
    ...

    // note that a, b and c are variables in scope of
    // the block
    void (^my_block_A)(void) =
    ^{
        size_t id = get_global_id(0);
        b[id] += a[id];
    };

    // enqueue the block variable
    enqueue_kernel(get_default_queue(),
                   CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL,
                   ndrange,
                   my_block_A);

    // or we could have done the following
    enqueue_kernel(get_default_queue(),
                   CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL,
                   ndrange,
                   ^{
                       size_t id = get_global_id(0);
                       b[id] += a[id];
                   };
}
----------

[NOTE]
====
Blocks passed to enqueue_kernel cannot use global variables or stack
variables local to the enclosing lexical scope that are a pointer type in
the `local` or `private` address space.
====

Example:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
foo(global int *a, local int *lptr, ...)
{
    enqueue_kernel(get_default_queue(),
                   CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL,
                   ndrange,
                   ^{
                       size_t id = get_global_id(0);
                       local int *p = lptr; // undefined behavior
                   } );
}
----------


[[arguments-that-are-a-pointer-type-to-local-address-space]]
==== Arguments That are a Pointer Type to Local Address Space

A block passed to enqueue_kernel can have arguments declared to be a pointer
to `local` memory.
The enqueue_kernel built-in function variants allow blocks to be enqueued
with a variable number of arguments.
Each argument must be declared to be a `void` pointer to local memory.
These enqueue_kernel built-in function variants also have a corresponding
number of arguments each of type `uint` that follow the block argument.
These arguments specify the size of each local memory pointer argument of
the enqueued block.

Some examples follow:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
my_func_A_local_arg1(global int *a, local int *lptr, ...)
{
    ...
}

kernel void
my_func_A_local_arg2(global int *a,
                     local int *lptr1, local float4 *lptr2, ...)
{
    ...
}

kernel void
my_func_B(global int *a, ...)
{
    ...

    ndrange_t ndrange = ndrange_1D(...);

    uint local_mem_size = compute_local_mem_size();

                   local_mem_size);

my_func_C(global int *a, ...)
{
    ...
    ndrange_t ndrange = ndrange_1D(...);

    void (^my_blk_A)(local void *, local void *) =
        ^(local void *lptr1, local void *lptr2){
        my_func_A_local_arg2(
            a,
            (local int *)lptr1,
            (local float4 *)lptr2, ...);};

    // calculate local memory size for lptr
    // argument in local address space for my_blk_A
    uint local_mem_size = compute_local_mem_size();

    enqueue_kernel(get_default_queue(),

                   local_mem_size, local_mem_size*4);
}
----------


[[a-complete-example]]
==== A Complete Example

The example below shows how to implement an iterative algorithm where the
host enqueues the first instance of the nd-range kernel (dp_func_A).
The kernel dp_func_A will launch a kernel (evaluate_dp_work_A) that will
determine if new nd-range work needs to be performed.
If new nd-range work does need to be performed, then evaluate_dp_work_A will
enqueue a new instance of dp_func_A .
This process is repeated until all the work is completed.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
kernel void
dp_func_A(queue_t q, ...)
{
    ...

    // queue a single instance of evaluate_dp_work_A to
    // device queue q. queued kernel begins execution after
    // kernel dp_func_A finishes

    if (get_global_id(0) == 0)
    {
        enqueue_kernel(q,
                       CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL,
                       ndrange_1D(1),
                       ^{evaluate_dp_work_A(q, ...);});
    }
}

kernel void
evaluate_dp_work_A(queue_t q,...)
{
    // check if more work needs to be performed
    bool more_work = check_new_work(...);
    if (more_work)
    {
        size_t global_work_size = compute_global_size(...);

        void (^dp_func_A_blk)(void) =
            ^{dp_func_A(q, ...});

        // get local WG-size for kernel dp_func_A
        size_t local_work_size =
            get_kernel_work_group_size(dp_func_A_blk);

        // build nd-range descriptor
        ndrange_t ndrange = ndrange_1D(global_work_size,
                                       local_work_size);

        // enqueue dp_func_A
        enqueue_kernel(q,
                       CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL,
                       ndrange,

[[determining-when-a-child-kernel-begins-execution]]
==== Determining when a Child Kernel Begins Execution

The `kernel_enqueue_flags_t` footnote:[{fn-dse-kernel_enqueue_flags_t}] argument
to the `enqueue_kernel` built-in functions can be used to specify when the child
kernel begins execution.
Supported values are described in the <<table-kernel-enqueue-flags,
following table>>:

[[table-kernel-enqueue-flags]]
.Kernel Enqueue Flags
[cols=",",options="header",]
|====
| `kernel_enqueue_flags_t` enum | Description
| `CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_NO_WAIT`
    | Indicates that the enqueued kernels do not need to wait for the parent
      kernel to finish execution before they begin execution.
| `CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_KERNEL`
    | Indicates that all work-items of the parent kernel must finish
      executing and all immediate footnote:[{fn-dse-immediate-definition}] side
      effects committed before the enqueued child kernel may begin execution.
| `CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_WORK_GROUP`
    | Indicates that the enqueued kernels wait only for the workgroup that
      enqueued the kernels to finish before they begin execution.
      footnote:[{fn-dse-CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_WAIT_WORK_GROUP}]
|====

[NOTE]
====
The `kernel_enqueue_flags_t` flags are useful when a kernel enqueued from
the host and executing on a device enqueues kernels on the device.
The kernel enqueued from the host may not have an event associated with it.
The `kernel_enqueue_flags_t` flags allow the developer to indicate when the
child kernels can begin execution.
====


[[determining-when-a-parent-kernel-has-finished-execution]]
==== Determining When a Parent Kernel has Finished Execution

A parent kernel's execution status is considered to be complete when it and
all its child kernels have finished execution.
The execution status of a parent kernel will be {CL_COMPLETE} if this kernel
and all its child kernels finish execution successfully.
The execution status of the kernel will be an error code (given by a
negative integer value) if it or any of its child kernels encounter an
error, or are abnormally terminated.

For example, assume that the host enqueues a kernel `k` for execution on a
device.
Kernel `k` when executing on the device enqueues kernels `A` and `B` to a
device queue(s).
The enqueue_kernel call to enqueue kernel `B` specifies the event associated
with kernel `A` in the `event_wait_list` argument, i.e. wait for kernel `A`
to finish execution before kernel `B` can begin execution.
Let's assume kernel `A` enqueues kernels `X`, `Y` and `Z`.
Kernel `A` is considered to have finished execution, i.e. its execution
status is {CL_COMPLETE}, only after `A` and the kernels `A` enqueued (and
any kernels these enqueued kernels enqueue and so on) have finished
execution.

| Built-in Function | Description
| int *enqueue_marker*(queue_t _queue_, uint _num_events_in_wait_list_,
  const clk_event_t *_event_wait_list_, clk_event_t *_event_ret_)
    | Enqueue a marker command to _queue_.

      The marker command waits for a list of events specified by
      _event_wait_list_ to complete before the marker completes.

      _event_ret_ must not be `NULL` as otherwise this is a no-op.

      If an event is returned, *enqueue_marker* performs an implicit retain
      on the returned event.
|====

The *enqueue_marker* built-in function returns `CLK_SUCCESS` if the marked
command is enqueued successfully and returns `CLK_ENQUEUE_FAILURE`
otherwise.
If the -g compile option is specified in compiler options passed to
{clCompileProgram} or {clBuildProgram}, the following errors may be returned
instead of `CLK_ENQUEUE_FAILURE` to indicate why *enqueue_marker* failed to
enqueue the marker command:

  * `CLK_INVALID_QUEUE` if _queue_ is not a valid device queue.
  * `CLK_INVALID_EVENT_WAIT_LIST` if _event_wait_list_ is `NULL`, or if
    _event_wait_list_ is not `NULL` and _num_events_in_wait_list_ is 0, or
    if event objects in _event_wait_list_ are not valid events.
  * `CLK_DEVICE_QUEUE_FULL` if _queue_ is full.
  * `CLK_EVENT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE` if _event_ret_ is not `NULL` and an event
    could not be allocated.
  * `CLK_OUT_OF_RESOURCES` if there is a failure to queue the block in
    _queue_ because of insufficient resources needed to execute the kernel.

      Behavior is undefined if _event_ is not a valid event.
| void *release_event*(clk_event_t _event_)
    | Decrements the event reference count.
      The event object is deleted once the event reference count is zero,
      the specific command identified by this event has completed (or
      terminated), and there are no commands in any device command-queue that
      require a wait for this event to complete.
      Behavior is undefined if _event_ is not a valid event.

      The execution status of the user event created is set to
      {CL_SUBMITTED}.
| bool *is_valid_event*(clk_event_t _event_)
    | Returns _true_ if _event_ is a valid event.
      Otherwise returns _false_.
| void *set_user_event_status*(clk_event_t _event_, int _status_)
    | Sets the execution status of a user event.
      Behavior is undefined if _event_ is not a valid event returned by
      *create_user_event*.
      _status_ can be either {CL_COMPLETE} or a negative integer value
      indicating an error.

| void *capture_event_profiling_info*(clk_event_t _event_,
  clk_profiling_info _name_, global void *_value_)
   a| Captures the profiling information for functions that are enqueued as
      commands.
      These enqueued commands are identified by unique event objects.
      The profiling information will be available in _value_ once the
      command identified by _event_ has completed.

Behavior is undefined if _event_ is not a valid event returned by
*enqueue_kernel*.

_name_ identifies which profiling information is to be queried and can be:

`CLK_PROFILING_COMMAND_EXEC_TIME`

_value_ is a pointer to two 64-bit values.

The first 64-bit value describes the elapsed time {CL_PROFILING_COMMAND_END}
- {CL_PROFILING_COMMAND_START} for the command identified by _event_ in
nanoseconds.

The second 64-bit value describes the elapsed time
{CL_PROFILING_COMMAND_COMPLETE} - {CL_PROFILING_COMMAND_START} for the
command identified by _event_ in nanoseconds.

[NOTE]
====
The behavior of capture_event_profiling_info when called multiple times for
the same _event_ is undefined.
====
|====

Events can be used to identify commands enqueued to a command-queue from the
host.
These events created by the OpenCL runtime can only be used on the host,
i.e. as events passed in the _event_wait_list_ argument to various
enqueue APIs or runtime APIs that take events as arguments, such as
{clRetainEvent}, {clReleaseEvent}, and {clGetEventProfilingInfo}.

Similarly, events can be used to identify commands enqueued to a device
queue (from a kernel).
These event objects cannot be passed to the host or used by OpenCL runtime
APIs such as the enqueue APIs or runtime APIs that take event arguments.

{clRetainEvent} and {clReleaseEvent} will return {CL_INVALID_OPERATION} if
_event_ specified is an event that refers to any kernel enqueued to a device
queue using *enqueue_kernel* or *enqueue_marker*, or is a user event created
by *create_user_event*.

Similarly, {clSetUserEventStatus} can only be used to set the execution
status of events created using {clCreateUserEvent}.
User events created on the device can be set using set_user_event_status
built-in function.

The example below shows how events can be used with kernels enqueued to
multiple device queues.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
extern void barA_kernel(...);
extern void barB_kernel(...);

kernel void
foo(queue_t q0, queue q1, ...)
{
    ...
    clk_event_t evt0;

    // enqueue kernel to queue q0
    enqueue_kernel(q0,
                   CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_NO_WAIT,
                   ndrange_A,
                   0, NULL, &evt0,
                   ^{barA_kernel(...);} );

    // enqueue kernel to queue q1
    enqueue_kernel(q1,
                   CLK_ENQUEUE_FLAGS_NO_WAIT,
                   ndrange_B,
                   1, &evt0, NULL,
                   ^{barB_kernel(...);} );

    // release event evt0. This will get released
    // after barA_kernel enqueued in queue q0 has finished
    // execution and barB_kernel enqueued in queue q1 and
    // waits for evt0 is submitted for execution, i.e. wait
    // for evt0 is satisfied.
    release_event(evt0);

| Function | Description

| int *sub_group_all* (int _predicate_)
| Evaluates _predicate_ for all work-items in the sub-group and returns a
  non-zero value if _predicate_ evaluates to non-zero for all work-items in
  the sub-group.

| int *sub_group_any* (int _predicate_)
| Evaluates _predicate_ for all work-items in the sub-group and returns a
  non-zero value if _predicate_ evaluates to non-zero for any work-items in
  the sub-group.

| gentype *sub_group_broadcast* ( +
  gentype _x_, uint _sub_group_local_id_)
| Broadcast the value of _x_ for work-item identified by
  _sub_group_local_id_ (value returned by *get_sub_group_local_id*) to all
  work-items in the sub-group.

  Behavior is undefined when the value of _sub_group_local_id_ is not
  equivalent for all work-items in the sub-group.

  Behavior is undefined when _sub_group_local_id_ is greater or equal to the
  sub-group size.

| gentype *sub_group_reduce_<op>* ( +
  gentype _x_)
| Return result of reduction operation specified by *<op>* for all values of
  _x_ specified by work-items in a sub-group.

| gentype *sub_group_scan_exclusive_<op>* ( +
  gentype _x_)
| Do an exclusive scan operation specified by *<op>* of all values specified
  by work-items in a sub-group.
  The scan results are returned for each work-item.

  The scan order is defined by increasing sub-group local ID within the
  sub-group.

| gentype *sub_group_scan_inclusive_<op>* ( +
  gentype _x_)
| Do an inclusive scan operation specified by *<op>* of all values specified
  by work-items in a sub-group.
  The scan results are returned for each work-item.

  The scan order is defined by increasing sub-group local ID within the
  sub-group.

|====

The *<op>* in *sub_group_reduce_<op>*, *sub_group_scan_inclusive_<op>* and *sub_group_scan_exclusive_<op>* defines the operator and can be *add*, *min* or *max*.

The exclusive scan operation takes a binary operator *op* with an identity I and _n_ (where _n_ is the size of the sub-group) elements [a~0~, a~1~, ... a~n-1~] and returns [I, a~0~, (a~0~ *op* a~1~), ... (a~0~ *op* a~1~ *op* ... *op* a~n-2~)].

The inclusive scan operation takes a binary operator *op* with an identity I and _n_ (where _n_ is the size of the sub-group) elements [a~0~, a~1~, ... a~n-1~] and returns [a~0~, (a~0~ *op* a~1~), ... (a~0~ *op* a~1~ *op* ... *op* a~n-1~)].

If *op* = *add*, the identity I is 0.
If *op* = *min*, the identity I is `INT_MAX`, `UINT_MAX`, `LONG_MAX`, `ULONG_MAX`, for `int`, `uint`, `long`, `ulong` types and is `+INF` for
floating-point types.
Similarly if *op* = max, the identity I is `INT_MIN`, 0, `LONG_MIN`, 0 and `-INF`.

[NOTE]
====
The order of floating-point operations is not guaranteed for the *sub_group_reduce_<op>*, *sub_group_scan_inclusive_<op>* and *sub_group_scan_exclusive_<op>* built-in functions that operate on `half`, `float` and `double` data types.
The order of these floating-point operations is also non-deterministic for a given sub-group.

This section describes arithmetic operations that are performed on a subset
of work items in a sub-group, referred to as a cluster.
A cluster is described by a specified cluster size.
Work items in a sub-group are assigned to clusters such that for cluster
size _n_, the _n_ work items in the sub-group with the smallest sub-group
local IDs are assigned to the first cluster, then the _n_ remaining work
items with the smallest sub-group local IDs are assigned to the next
cluster, and so on.
Behavior is undefined if the specified cluster size is not an integer
constant expression, is not a power-of-two, or is greater than the maximum
size of a sub-group within the dispatch.

=== Kernel Clock Functions

NOTE: The functionality described in this section <<unified-spec, requires>>
support for the {cl_khr_kernel_clock_EXT} extension. +
The `clock_read_device` and `clock_read_hilo_device` functions require support
for the {opencl_c_kernel_clock_scope_device} feature.
The `clock_read_work_group` and `clock_read_hilo_work_group` functions require
support for the {opencl_c_kernel_clock_scope_work_group} feature.
The `clock_read_sub_group` and `clock_read_hilo_sub_group` functions require
support for the {opencl_c_kernel_clock_scope_sub_group} feature.

This section describes OpenCL C built-in functions that sample the value from
one of three clocks provided by compute units.

[[table-kernel-clock-functions]]
.Built-in Kernel Clock Functions
[cols="1a,1",options="header",]

| Function | Description

|[source,opencl_c]
----
ulong clock_read_device();
ulong clock_read_work_group();
ulong clock_read_sub_group();
----
  | Returns a sampled value of a clock as seen by the compute unit.

    An idealized clock is an unbounded unsigned scalar integer tick count
    increasing monotonically over time. A clock’s rate of progress may vary
    within the lifetime of a work-item, may vary across different
    executions of the program, and may be affected by conditions beyond the
    control of the programmer. The sampled value read by this function consists of
    the least significant bits of the idealized clock’s tick count at the time the
    instruction was executed. In particular, an observer may see sampled values wrap
    around zero.

|[source,opencl_c]
----
uint2 clock_read_hilo_device();
uint2 clock_read_hilo_work_group();
uint2 clock_read_hilo_sub_group();
----
  | Performs the same operation as `clock_read`, but returns the value as a
    `uint2` whose `.lo` component contains the 32 least significant bits of the
    result and `.hi` component contains the 32 most significant bits of the
    result.

[[opencl-numerical-compliance]]
= OpenCL Numerical Compliance

This section describes features of the <<C99-spec,C99>> and IEEE 754
standards that must be supported by all OpenCL compliant devices.

This section describes the functionality that must be supported by all
OpenCL devices for single precision floating-point numbers.
Currently, only single precision floating-point is a requirement.
Double-precision floating-point is an optional feature.


[[rounding-modes-1]]
== Rounding Modes

Floating-point calculations may be carried out internally with extra
precision and then rounded to fit into the destination type.
IEEE 754 defines four possible rounding modes:

  * Round to nearest even
  * Round toward +{inf}
  * Round toward -{inf}
  * Round toward zero

_Round to nearest_ _even_ is currently the only rounding mode required by the
OpenCL specification for single precision and double-precision operations and is
therefore the default rounding mode
footnote:[{fn-float-required-rounding-mode}].
In addition, only static selection of rounding mode is supported.
Dynamically reconfiguring the rounding modes as specified by the IEEE 754
spec is unsupported.

ifdef::cl_khr_fp16[]
If the {cl_khr_fp16_EXT} extension macro is supported, then
if {CL_FP_ROUND_TO_NEAREST} is supported, the default rounding mode for
half-precision floating-point operations will be round to nearest even;
otherwise the default rounding mode will be round to zero.

Conversions to half floating-point format must be correctly rounded using
the indicated `convert` operator rounding mode or the default rounding mode
for half-precision floating-point operations if no rounding mode is
specified by the operator, or a C-style cast is used.

Conversions from half to integer format shall correctly round using the
indicated `convert` operator rounding mode, or towards zero if no rounding
mode is specified by the operator or a C-style cast is used.
All conversions from half to floating-point formats are exact.
endif::cl_khr_fp16[]

ifdef::cl_khr_select_fprounding_mode[]
[open,refpage='SELECT_ROUNDING_MODE',desc='Select rounding mode for a group of instructions',type='freeform',spec='clang',anchor='select-rounding-mode-macro',xrefs='fpMacros']
--
[[select-rounding-mode]]

If the {cl_khr_select_fprounding_mode_EXT} extension macro is supported, the
floating-point rounding mode may be specified using the following *#pragma*
in the OpenCL program source:

[source,opencl_c]
----
#pragma OPENCL SELECT_ROUNDING_MODE <rounding-mode>
----

The _<rounding-mode>_ may be one of the following values:

  * *rte* - round to nearest even
  * *rtz* - round to zero
  * *rtp* - round to positive infinity
  * *rtn* - round to negative infinity

If this extensions is supported then the OpenCL implementation must support
all four rounding modes for single precision floating-point.

The *#pragma* sets the rounding mode for all instructions that operate on
floating-point types (scalar or vector types) or produce floating-point
values that follow this pragma in the program source until the next
*#pragma*.
Note that the rounding mode specified for a block of code is known at
compile time.
When inside a compound statement, the pragma takes effect from its
occurrence until another *#pragma* is encountered (including within a nested
compound statement), or until the end of the compound statement; at the end
of a compound statement the state for the pragma is restored to its
condition just before the compound statement.
Except where otherwise documented, the callee functions do not inherit the
rounding mode of the caller function.

If the {cl_khr_select_fprounding_mode_EXT} extension is enabled, the
`\\__ROUNDING_MODE__` preprocessor symbol shall be defined to be one of the
following according to the current rounding mode:

[source,opencl_c]
----
#define __ROUNDING_MODE__ rte
#define __ROUNDING_MODE__ rtz
#define __ROUNDING_MODE__ rtp
#define __ROUNDING_MODE__ rtz
----

This is intended to enable remapping `foo()` to `foo_rte()` by the
preprocessor by using:

[source,opencl_c]
----
#define foo foo ## __ROUNDING_MODE__
----

The default rounding mode is round to nearest even.
The <<math-functions, Math Functions>>, <<common-functions, Common
Functions>>, and <<geometric-functions, Geometric Functions>> are
implemented with the round to nearest even rounding mode.
Various built-in conversions and the *vstore_half* and *vstorea_half*
built-in functions that do not specify a rounding mode inherit the current
rounding mode.
Conversions from floating-point to integer type always use `rtz` mode,
except where the user specifically asks for another rounding mode.

NOTE: The {cl_khr_select_fprounding_mode_EXT} extension was deprecated in
OpenCL 1.1, and its use is not recommended.
--
endif::cl_khr_select_fprounding_mode[]


[[inf-nan-and-denormalized-numbers]]
== INF, NaN and Denormalized Numbers

`INF` and NaNs must be supported.
Support for signaling NaNs is not required.

Support for denormalized numbers with single precision floating-point is
optional.
Denormalized single precision floating-point numbers passed as input or
produced as the output of single precision floating-point operations such as
add, sub, mul, divide, and the functions defined in <<math-functions,math
functions>>, <<common-functions,common functions>>, and
<<geometric-functions,geometric functions>> may be flushed to zero.


[[floating-point-exceptions]]
== Floating-Point Exceptions

Floating-point exceptions are disabled in OpenCL.
The result of a floating-point exception must match the IEEE 754 spec for
the exceptions not enabled case.
Whether and when the implementation sets floating-point flags or raises
floating-point exceptions is implementation-defined.
This standard provides no method for querying, clearing or setting
floating-point flags or trapping raised exceptions.
Due to non-performance, non-portability of trap mechanisms and the
impracticality of servicing precise exceptions in a vector context
(especially on heterogeneous hardware), such features are discouraged.

Implementations that nevertheless support such operations through an
extension to the standard shall initialize with all exception flags cleared
and the exception masks set so that exceptions raised by arithmetic
operations do not trigger a trap to be taken.
If the underlying work is reused by the implementation, the implementation
is however not responsible for reclearing the flags or resetting exception
masks to default values before entering the kernel.
That is to say that kernels that do not inspect flags or enable traps are
licensed to expect that their arithmetic will not trigger a trap.
Those kernels that do examine flags or enable traps are responsible for
clearing flag state and disabling all traps before returning control to the
implementation.
Whether or when the underlying work-item (and accompanying global
floating-point state if any) is reused is implementation-defined.

The expressions *math_errorhandling* and `MATH_ERREXCEPT` are reserved for
use by this standard, but not defined.
Implementations that extend this specification with support for
floating-point exceptions shall define *math_errorhandling* and
`MATH_ERREXCEPT` per <<C99-spec, TC2 to the C99 Specification>>.


[[relative-error-as-ulps]]
== Relative Error as ULPs

In this section we discuss the maximum relative error defined as ulp (units
in the last place).
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, fused multiply-add and conversion
between integer and a single precision floating-point format are IEEE 754
compliant and are therefore correctly rounded.
Conversion between floating-point formats and
<<explicit-conversions,explicit conversions>> must be correctly rounded.

ifdef::cl_khr_fp16[]
If the {cl_khr_fp16_EXT} extension macro is supported,
addition, subtraction, multiplication, fused multiply-add operations on half
types are required to be correctly rounded using the default rounding mode
for half-precision floating-point operations.
endif::cl_khr_fp16[]

The ULP is defined as follows:

====
If _x_ is a real number that lies between two finite consecutive
floating-point numbers _a_ and _b_, without being equal to one of them, then
ulp(_x_) = |_b_ - _a_|, otherwise ulp(_x_) is the distance between the two
non-equal finite floating-point numbers nearest _x_.
Moreover, ulp(NaN) is NaN.
====

====

The following table describes the minimum accuracy of single precision
floating-point arithmetic operations given as ULP values.
The reference value used to compute the ULP value of an arithmetic operation
is the infinitely precise result.
0 ulp is used for math functions that do not require rounding.

Result overflow within the specified ULP error is permitted. Math functions are
allowed to return infinity for a finite reference value when the next
floating-point number that would be representable after the finite maximum, if
there was sufficient range, meets ULP error tolerance.

The <<table-float-ulp-relaxed,following table>> describes the minimum accuracy
of commonly used single precision floating-point arithmetic operations given
as ULP values if the `-cl-unsafe-math-optimizations` compiler option is
specified when compiling or building an OpenCL program.
For derived implementations, the operations used in the derivation may
themselves be relaxed according to the following table.
The minimum accuracy of math functions not defined in the following table when
the `-cl-unsafe-math-optimizations` compiler option is specified is as defined
in <<table-ulp-float-math,ULP values for single precision built-in math
functions>> when operating in the full profile, and as defined in
<<table-ulp-embedded,ULP values for the embedded profile>> when operating in the
embedded profile.
The reference value used to compute the ULP value of an arithmetic operation
is the infinitely precise result.
0 ulp is used for math functions that do not require rounding.

Defined minimum accuracy of single precision floating-point arithmetic
operations and builtins with `-cl-unsafe-math-optimizations` <<unified-spec,
requires>> support for OpenCL C 2.0 or newer.

== Edge Case Behavior

The edge case behavior of the <<math-functions,math functions>> shall
conform to <<C99-spec,sections F.9 and G.6 of the C99 Specification>>,
except <<additional-requirements-beyond-c99-tc2,where noted below>>.


[[additional-requirements-beyond-c99-tc2]]
=== Additional Requirements Beyond C99 TC2

All functions that return a NaN should return a quiet NaN.

*half_<funcname>* functions behave identically to the function of the same
name without the *half_* prefix.
They must conform to the same edge case requirements (<<C99-spec,see
sections F.9 and G.6 of the C99 Specification>>).
For other cases, except where otherwise noted, these single precision
functions are permitted to have up to 8192 ulps of error (as measured in the
single precision result), although better accuracy is encouraged.

The usual allowances for <<relative-error-as-ulps,rounding error>> or

[[edge-case-behavior-in-flush-to-zero-mode]]
=== Edge Case Behavior in Flush to Zero Mode

If denormals are flushed to zero, then a function may return one of four
results:

  . Any conforming result for non-flush-to-zero mode
  . If the result given by 1.
    is a sub-normal before rounding, it may be flushed to zero
  . Any non-flushed conforming result for the function if one or more of its
    sub-normal operands are flushed to zero.
  . If the result of 3.
    is a sub-normal before rounding, the result may be flushed to zero.

In each of the above cases, if an operand or result is flushed to zero, the
sign of the zero is undefined.

If subnormals are flushed to zero, a device may choose to conform to the
following edge cases for *nextafter* instead of those listed in the
<<additional-requirements-beyond-c99-tc2,additional requirements>> section.

[none]
* *nextafter*(+smallest normal, _y_ < +smallest normal) = +0.
* *nextafter*(-smallest normal, _y_ > -smallest normal) = -0.
* *nextafter*(-0, _y_ > 0) returns smallest positive normal value.
* *nextafter*(+0, _y_ < 0) returns smallest negative normal value.

For clarity, subnormals or denormals are defined to be the set of
representable numbers in the range 0 < _x_ < `TYPE_MIN` and `-TYPE_MIN` <
_x_ < -0.
They do not include {plusmn}0.
A non-zero number is said to be sub-normal before rounding if after
normalization, its radix-2 exponent is less than (`TYPE_MIN_EXP` - 1)
footnote:[{fn-min-float-constants}].


[[image-addressing-and-filtering]]
= Image Addressing and Filtering

Let w~t~, h~t~ and d~t~ be the width, height (or image array size for a 1D
image array) and depth (or image array size for a 2D image array) of the
image in pixels.
Let _coord.xy_ (also referred to as (_s_,_t_)) or _coord.xyz_ (also referred
to as (_s_,_t_,_r_)) be the coordinates specified to *read_image{f|i|ui}*.
The sampler specified in *read_image{f|i|ui}* is used to determine how to
sample the image and return an appropriate color.


[[image-coordinates]]
== Image Coordinates

This affects the interpretation of image coordinates.
If image coordinates specified to *read_image{f|i|ui}* are normalized (as
specified in the sampler), the _s_, _t_, and _r_ coordinate values are
multiplied by w~t~, h~t,~ and d~t~ respectively to generate the unnormalized
coordinate values.
For image arrays, the image array coordinate (i.e. _t_ if it is a 1D image
array or _r_ if it is a 2D image array) specified to *read_image{f|i|ui}*
must always be the un-normalized image coordinate value.

Let (_u_,_v_,_w_) represent the unnormalized image coordinate values.


[[addressing-and-filter-modes]]
== Addressing and Filter Modes

We first describe how the addressing and filter modes are applied to
generate the appropriate sample locations to read from the image if the
addressing mode is not `CLK_ADDRESS_REPEAT` nor
`CLK_ADDRESS_MIRRORED_REPEAT`.

After generating the image coordinate (_u_,_v_,_w_) we apply the appropriate
addressing and filter mode to generate the appropriate sample locations to
read from the image.

If values in (_u_,_v_,_w_) are `INF` or NaN, the behavior of
*read_image{f|i|ui}* is undefined.

*Filter Mode* `CLK_FILTER_NEAREST`

When filter mode is `CLK_FILTER_NEAREST`, the image element in the image
that is nearest (in Manhattan distance) to that specified by (_u_,_v_,_w_)
is obtained.
This means the image element at location (_i_,_j_,_k_) becomes the image
element value, where

[source,opencl_c]
----------
i = address_mode((int)floor(u))
j = address_mode((int)floor(v))
k = address_mode((int)floor(w))
----------

For a 3D image, the image element at location (_i_,_j_,_k_) becomes the
color value.
For a 2D image, the image element at location (_i_,_j_) becomes the color
value.

The following table describes the address_mode function.

[[table-address-modes-texel-location]]
.Addressing modes to generate texel location
[cols=",",options="header",]
|====
| Addressing Mode             | Result of address_mode(coord)
| `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE` | clamp (coord, 0, size - 1)
| `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP`         | clamp (coord, -1, size)
| `CLK_ADDRESS_NONE`          | coord
|====

The `size` term in this table is w~t~ for _u_, h~t~ for _v_ and d~t~ for
_w_.

The `clamp` function used in this table is defined as:

[source,opencl_c]
----------
clamp(a, b, c) = return (a < b) ? b : ((a > c) ? c : a)
----------

If the selected texel location (_i_,_j_,_k_) refers to a location outside
the image, the border color is used as the color value for this texel.

*Filter Mode* `CLK_FILTER_LINEAR`

When filter mode is `CLK_FILTER_LINEAR`, a 2{times}2 square of image
elements for a 2D image or a 2{times}2{times}2 cube of image elements for a
3D image is selected.
This 2{times}2 square or 2{times}2{times}2 cube is obtained as follows.

Let

[source,opencl_c]
----------
i0 = address_mode((int)floor(u - 0.5))
j0 = address_mode((int)floor(v - 0.5))
k0 = address_mode((int)floor(w - 0.5))
i1 = address_mode((int)floor(u - 0.5) + 1)
j1 = address_mode((int)floor(v - 0.5) + 1)
k1 = address_mode((int)floor(w - 0.5) + 1)
a = frac(u - 0.5)
b = frac(v - 0.5)
c = frac(w - 0.5)
----------

where `frac(x)` denotes the fractional part of x and is computed as `x -
floor(x)`.

For a 3D image, the image element value is found as

[source,opencl_c]
----------
T = (1 - a) * (1 - b) * (1 - c) * T_i0j0k0
    + a * (1 - b) * (1 - c) * T_i1j0k0
    + (1 - a) * b * (1 - c) * T_i0j1k0
    + a * b * (1 - c) * T_i1j1k0
    + (1 - a) * (1 - b) * c * T_i0j0k1
    + a * (1 - b) * c * T_i1j0k1
    + (1 - a) * b * c * T_i0j1k1
    + a * b * c * T_i1j1k1
----------

where `T_ijk` is the image element at location (_i_,_j_,_k_) in the 3D image.

For a 2D image, the image element value is found as

[source,opencl_c]
----------
T = (1 - a) * (1 - b) * T_i0j0
    + a * (1 - b) * T_i1j0
    + (1 - a) * b * T_i0j1
    + a * b * T_i1j1
----------

where `T_ij` is the image element at location (_i_,_j_) in the 2D image.

If any of the selected `T_ijk` or `T_ij` in the above equations refers to a
location outside the image, the border color is used as the color value for
`T_ijk` or `T_ij`.

If the image channel type is {CL_FLOAT} or {CL_HALF_FLOAT} and any of the
image elements `T_ijk` or `T_ij` is `INF` or NaN, the behavior of the built-in
image read function is undefined.

We now discuss how the addressing and filter modes are applied to generate
the appropriate sample locations to read from the image if the addressing
mode is `CLK_ADDRESS_REPEAT`.

If values in (_s_,_t_,_r_) are `INF` or NaN, the behavior of the built-in
image read functions is undefined.

*Filter Mode* `CLK_FILTER_NEAREST`

When filter mode is `CLK_FILTER_NEAREST`, the image element at location
(_i_,_j_,_k_) becomes the image element value, with _i_, _j_, and _k_
computed as

[source,opencl_c]
----------
u = (s - floor(s)) * w_t
i = (int)floor(u)
if (i > w_t - 1)
    i = i - w_t

v = (t - floor(t)) * h_t
j = (int)floor(v)
if (j > h_t - 1)
    j = j - h_t

w = (r - floor(r)) * d_t
k = (int)floor(w)
if (k > d_t - 1)
    k = k - d_t
----------


For a 3D image, the image element at location (_i_,_j_,_k_) becomes the
color value.
For a 2D image, the image element at location (_i_,_j_) becomes the color
value.

*Filter Mode* `CLK_FILTER_LINEAR`

When filter mode is `CLK_FILTER_LINEAR`, a 2{times}2 square of image
elements for a 2D image or a 2{times}2{times}2 cube of image elements for a
3D image is selected.
This 2{times}2 square or 2{times}2{times}2 cube is obtained as follows.

Let

[source,opencl_c]
----------
u = (s - floor(s)) * w_t
i0 = (int)floor(u - 0.5)
i1 = i0 + 1
if (i0 < 0)
    i0 = w_t + i0
if (i1 > w_t - 1)
    i1 = i1 - w_t

v = (t - floor(t)) * h_t
j0 = (int)floor(v - 0.5)
j1 = j0 + 1
if (j0 < 0)
    j0 = h_t + j0
if (j1 > h_t - 1)
    j1 = j1 - h_t

w = (r - floor(r)) * d_t
k0 = (int)floor(w - 0.5)
k1 = k0 + 1
if (k0 < 0)
    k0 = d_t + k0
if (k1 > d_t - 1)
    k1 = k1 - d_t

a = frac(u - 0.5)
b = frac(v - 0.5)
c = frac(w - 0.5)
----------

where `frac(x)` denotes the fractional part of x and is computed as `x -
floor(x)`.

For a 3D image, the image element value is found as

[source,opencl_c]
----------
T = (1 - a) * (1 - b) * (1 - c) * T_i0j0k0
    + a * (1 - b) * (1 - c) * T_i1j0k0
    + (1 - a) * b * (1 - c) * T_i0j1k0
    + a * b * (1 - c) * T_i1j1k0
    + (1 - a) * (1 - b) * c * T_i0j0k1
    + a * (1 - b) * c * T_i1j0k1
    + (1 - a) * b * c * T_i0j1k1
    + a * b * c * T_i1j1k1
----------

where `T_ijk` is the image element at location (_i_,_j_,_k_) in the 3D image.

For a 2D image, the image element value is found as

[source,opencl_c]
----------
T = (1 - a) * (1 - b) * T_i0j0
    + a * (1 - b) * T_i1j0
    + (1 - a) * b * T_i0j1
    + a * b * T_i1j1
----------

where `T_ij` is the image element at location (_i_,_j_) in the 2D image.

If the image channel type is {CL_FLOAT} or {CL_HALF_FLOAT} and any of the
image elements `T_ijk` or `T_ij` is `INF` or NaN, the behavior of the built-in
image read function is undefined.

We now discuss how the addressing and filter modes are applied to generate
the appropriate sample locations to read from the image if the addressing
mode is `CLK_ADDRESS_MIRRORED_REPEAT`.
The `CLK_ADDRESS_MIRRORED_REPEAT` addressing mode causes the image to be
read as if it is tiled at every integer seam with the interpretation of the
image data flipped at each integer crossing.
For example, the (_s_,_t_,_r_) coordinates between 2 and 3 are addressed
into the image as coordinates from 1 down to 0.
If values in (_s_,_t_,_r_) are `INF` or NaN, the behavior of the built-in
image read functions is undefined.

*Filter Mode* `CLK_FILTER_NEAREST`

When filter mode is `CLK_FILTER_NEAREST`, the image element at location
(_i_,_j_,_k_) becomes the image element value, with _i_,_j_ and k computed
as

[source,opencl_c]
----------
s' = 2.0f * rint(0.5f * s)
s' = fabs(s - s')
u = s' * w_t
i = (int)floor(u)
i = min(i, w_t - 1)

t' = 2.0f * rint(0.5f * t)
t' = fabs(t - t')
v = t' * h_t
j = (int)floor(v)
j = min(j, h_t - 1)

r' = 2.0f * rint(0.5f * r)
r' = fabs(r - r')
w = r' * d_t
k = (int)floor(w)
k = min(k, d_t - 1)
----------

For a 3D image, the image element at location (_i_,_j_,_k_) becomes the
color value.
For a 2D image, the image element at location (_i_,_j_) becomes the color
value.

*Filter Mode* `CLK_FILTER_LINEAR`

When filter mode is `CLK_FILTER_LINEAR`, a 2{times}2 square of image
elements for a 2D image or a 2{times}2{times}2 cube of image elements for a
3D image is selected.
This 2{times}2 square or 2{times}2{times}2 cube is obtained as follows.

Let

[source,opencl_c]
----------
s' = 2.0f * rint(0.5f * s)
s' = fabs(s - s')
u = s' * w_t
i0 = (int)floor(u - 0.5f)
i1 = i0 + 1
i0 = max(i0, 0)
i1 = min(i1, w_t - 1)

t' = 2.0f * rint(0.5f * t)
t' = fabs(t - t')
v = t' * h_t
j0 = (int)floor(v - 0.5f)
j1 = j0 + 1
j0 = max(j0, 0)
j1 = min(j1, h_t - 1)

r' = 2.0f * rint(0.5f * r)
r' = fabs(r - r')
w = r' * d_t
k0 = (int)floor(w - 0.5f)

a = frac(u - 0.5)
b = frac(v - 0.5)
c = frac(w - 0.5)
----------

where `frac(x)` denotes the fractional part of x and is computed as `x -
floor(x)`.

For a 3D image, the image element value is found as

For a 2D image, the image element value is found as

----------
T = (1 - a) * T_i0
    + a * T_i1
----------

where `T_i` is the image element at location (_i_) in the 1D image.

If the image channel type is {CL_FLOAT} or {CL_HALF_FLOAT} and any of the
image elements `T_ijk` or `T_ij` is `INF` or NaN, the behavior of the built-in
image read function is undefined.

[NOTE]
====
If the sampler is specified as using unnormalized coordinates
(floating-point or integer coordinates), filter mode set to
`CLK_FILTER_NEAREST` and addressing mode set to one of the following modes -
`CLK_ADDRESS_NONE`, `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE` or `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP`, the
<<addressing-and-filter-modes,location of the image element in the image>>
given by (_i_,_j_,_k_) will be computed without any loss of precision.

For all other sampler combinations of normalized or unnormalized
coordinates, filter and addressing modes, the relative error or precision of
the addressing mode calculations and the image filter operation are not
defined by this revision of the OpenCL specification.
To ensure a minimum precision of image addressing and filter calculations
across any OpenCL device, for these sampler combinations, developers should
unnormalize the image coordinate in the kernel and implement the linear
filter in the kernel with appropriate calls to *read_image{f|i|ui}* with a
sampler that uses unnormalized coordinates, filter mode set to
`CLK_FILTER_NEAREST`, addressing mode set to `CLK_ADDRESS_NONE`,
`CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE` _or_ `CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP`, and finally performing
the interpolation of color values read from the image to generate the
filtered color value.

8-bit or 16-bit unsigned integer to normalized floating-point values in the
range [`0.0f`, `1.0f`].

For images created with image channel data type of {CL_SNORM_INT8} and
{CL_SNORM_INT16}, *read_imagef* will convert the channel values from an

=== Conversion Rules for Half-Precision Floating-Point Channel Data Type

For images created with a channel data type of {CL_HALF_FLOAT}, the
conversions from `half` to `float` are lossless (as described in
<<the-half-data-type,"The half data type">>).
Conversions from `float` to `half` round the mantissa using the round to
nearest even or round to zero rounding mode.
Denormalized numbers for the `half` data type which may be generated when
converting a `float` to a `half` may be flushed to zero.
A `float` NaN must be converted to an appropriate NaN in the `half` type.
A `float` `INF` must be converted to an appropriate `INF` in the `half`
type.


[[conversion-rules-for-floating-point-channel-data-type]]
=== Conversion Rules for Floating-Point Channel Data Type

The following rules apply for reading and writing images created with
channel data type of {CL_FLOAT}.

  * NaNs may be converted to a NaN value(s) supported by the device.
  * Denorms can be flushed to zero.
  * All other values must be preserved.

{CL_UNSIGNED_INT16} and {CL_UNSIGNED_INT32} return the integer values stored in
the image at specified location, after zero extension to 32 bits for integer
values smaller than 32 bits.

[none]
* *convert_char_sat*(i)

32 bit signed integer {rightarrow} 16-bit signed integer

[none]
* *convert_short_sat*(i)

[[conversion-rules-for-srgba-and-sbgra-images]]
=== Conversion Rules for sRGBA and sBGRA Images

Standard RGB data, which roughly displays colors in a linear ramp of
luminosity levels such that an average observer, under average viewing
conditions, can view them as perceptually equal steps on an average display.
All 0's maps to `0.0f`, and all 1's maps to `1.0f`.
The sequence of unsigned integer encodings between all 0's and all 1's
represent a nonlinear progression in the floating-point interpretation of
the numbers between `0.0f` to `1.0f`.
For more detail, see the <<sRGB-spec, SRGB color standard>>.

Conversion from sRGB space is automatically done by *read_imagef* built-in
functions if the image channel order is one of the sRGB values described
above.
When reading from an sRGB image, the conversion from sRGB to linear RGB is
performed before the filter specified in the sampler specified to
read_imagef is applied.
If the format has an alpha channel, the alpha data is stored in linear color
space.
Conversion to sRGB space is automatically done by *write_imagef* built-in
functions if the image channel order is one of the sRGB values described
above and the device supports writing to sRGB images.

If the format has an alpha channel, the alpha data is stored in linear color
space.

The following is the conversion rule for converting a normalized 8-bit
unsigned integer sRGB color value to a floating-point linear RGB color value
using *read_imagef*.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
// Convert the normalized 8-bit unsigned integer R, G and B channel values
// to a floating-point value (call it c) as per rules described in section
// 8.3.1.1.

if (c <= 0.04045),
    result = c / 12.92;
else
    result = powr((c + 0.055) / 1.055, 2.4);
----------

The resulting floating-point value, if converted back to an sRGB value
without rounding to a 8-bit unsigned integer value, must be within 0.5 ulp
of the original sRGB value.

The following are the conversion rules for converting a linear RGB
floating-point color value (call it _c_) to a normalized 8-bit unsigned
integer sRGB value using *write_imagef*.

[source,opencl_c]
----------
if (c is NaN)
    c = 0.0;
if (c > 1.0)
    c = 1.0;
else if (c < 0.0)
    c = 0.0;
else if (c < 0.0031308)
    c = 12.92 * c;
else
    c = 1.055 * powr(c, 1.0/2.4) - 0.055;

scaled_reference_result = c * 255
channel_component = floor(scaled_reference_result + 0.5);
----------

The precision of the above conversion should be such that

[none]
* `|generated_channel_component - scaled_reference_result|` {leq} 0.6

where `generated_channel_component` is the actual value that the
implementation produces and being checked for conformance.
