Notes
The kernel object is deleted once the number of instances that are retained
to kernel become zero and the kernel object is no longer needed by any
enqueued commands that use kernel.
Using this
function to release a reference that was not obtained by creating the object or by calling
clRetainKernel
causes undefined behavior.
Errors
Returns CL_SUCCESS if the kernel objects are successfully alloctaed. Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:
- CL_INVALID_KERNEL if
kernelis not a valid kernel object. - CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the device.
- CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
