DESCRIPTION
The following table describes other data types supported by OpenCL:
| Type |
Description
|
| image2d_t |
A 2D image. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more information.
|
| image3d_t |
A 3D image. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more information.
|
| image2d_array_t |
A 2D image array. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more information.
|
| image1d_t |
A 1D image. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more information.
|
| image1d_buffer_t |
A 1D image created from a buffer object. See individual
imageFunctions(3clc) for more information.
|
| image1d_array_t |
A 1D image array. See individual imageFunctions(3clc) for more information.
|
| sampler_t(3clc) |
A sampler type.
|
| event_t |
An event. This can be used to identify async copies from global
to local memory and vice-versa. See individual asyncCopyFunctions(3clc) for more information.
|
NOTE: The image2d_t, image3d_t, image2d_array_t, image1d_t, image1d_buffer_t, image1d_array_t, and sampler_t types are only defined if the device supports images i.e. CL_DEVICE_IMAGE_SUPPORT is CL_TRUE. See the table for param_name for clGetDeviceInfo(3clc) for details.
The C99 derived types (arrays, structs, union, function, and pointers), constructed from the built-in data types described in scalarDataTypes(3clc), vectorDataTypes(3clc), and otherDataTypes(3clc) are also supported with certain restrictions(3clc).
