Hi forum,
In the manual it is mentioned that
“Arguments to __kernel functions in a program cannot be declared with the built-in scalar types bool, half, size_t, ptrdiff_t, intptr_t, and uintptr_t”. I need the pitch value to be passed to the kernel of type size_t.
Is there any other way to get around this issue?
Thanks
I usually just use the cl_ulong type in kernel code to represent a size_t.
Make sure you cast the value to cl_ulong before passing it to the kernel in the off-chance that size_t is greater than 64-bits.
Thanks for the hint.
I am replacing every instant of the size_t with ulong and using ulong type in the kernel argument as well. But i am getting a new error as follows:
Error in setting kernel arguments for the pitch value: CL_INVALID_ARG_SIZE
I am setting the kernel argument as follows:
errNum = clSetKernelArg(updateVelocityKernel,7,sizeof(ulong),(void*)&tPitch);
Any hint where to look into to debug this issue?
Thanks
CL_INVALID_ARG_SIZE indicates that the size declared with clSetKernelArg() (i.e. sizeof(cl_ulong)) does not match the size of the corresponding argument in the declaration of your kernel.
