OpenCLTM API Headers
This repository contains C language headers for the OpenCL API.
The authoritative public repository for these headers is located at:
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Headers
Issues, proposed fixes for issues, and other suggested changes should be created using Github.
Build instructions
While the OpenCL Headers can be built and installed in isolation, it is part of the OpenCL SDK. If looking for streamlined build experience and a complete development package, refer to the SDK build instructions instead of the following guide.
Dependencies
- The OpenCL Headers CMake package support uses CMake for its build system. If CMake is not provided by your build system or OS package manager, please consult the CMake website.
Example Build
While the headers may just be copied as-is, this repository also contains a CMake script with an install rule to allow for packaging the headers.
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/chosen/install/prefix
cmake --build build --target install
Example Use
Example CMake invocation
cmake -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/chosen/install/prefix /path/to/opencl/app
and sample CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
cmake_policy(VERSION 3.0...3.18.4)
project(proj)
add_executable(app main.cpp)
find_package(OpenCLHeaders REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(app PRIVATE OpenCL::Headers)
Branch Structure
The OpenCL API headers in this repository are Unified headers and are designed to work with all released OpenCL versions. This differs from previous OpenCL API headers, where version-specific API headers either existed in separate branches, or in separate folders in a branch.
Compiling for a Specific OpenCL Version
By default, the OpenCL API headers in this repository are for the latest
OpenCL version (currently OpenCL 3.0). To use these API headers to target
a different OpenCL version, an application may #define
the preprocessor
value CL_TARGET_OPENCL_VERSION
before including the OpenCL API headers.
The CL_TARGET_OPENCL_VERSION
is a three digit decimal value representing
the OpenCL API version.
For example, to enforce usage of no more than the OpenCL 1.2 APIs, you may include the OpenCL API headers as follows:
#define CL_TARGET_OPENCL_VERSION 120
#include <CL/opencl.h>
Controlling Function Prototypes
By default, the OpenCL API headers in this repository declare function prototypes for every known core OpenCL API and OpenCL extension API. If this is not desired, the declared function prototypes can be controlled by the following preprocessor defines:
CL_NO_PROTOTYPES
: No function prototypes will be declared. This control applies to core OpenCL APIs and OpenCL extension APIs.CL_NO_CORE_PROTOTYPES
: No function prototypes will be declared for core OpenCL APIs.CL_NO_EXTENSION_PROTOTYPES
: No function prototypes will be declared for OpenCL extension APIs. This control applies to all OpenCL extension APIs.CL_NO_ICD_DISPATCH_EXTENSION_PROTOTYPES
: No function prototypes will be declared for OpenCL extension APIs that are in the ICD dispatch table for historical reasons.CL_NO_NON_ICD_DISPATCH_EXTENSION_PROTOTYPES
: No function prototypes will be declared for OpenCL extension APIs that are not in the ICD dispatch table.
For example, to declare function prototypes for core OpenCL 3.0 APIs only, you may include the OpenCL API headers as follows:
#define CL_TARGET_OPENCL_VERSION 300
#define CL_NO_EXTENSION_PROTOTYPES
#include <CL/opencl.h>
