@courtneyfaulkner may I ask why you have used size_t type for valueSize but cl_uint for the rest of variables. Aren't they kind of the same (unsigned 32-bit integer)?

thank you very much!

Any idea why this happens?

$ clang platforms.c -o platforms -framework OpenCL && ./platforms
/usr/bin/ld: -f may not be used without -shared
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

$ clang -v
clang version 3.8.0-2ubuntu4 (tags/RELEASE_380/final)

For Linux, try this:

clang devices.c -o devices -lOpenCL
clang platforms.c -o platforms -lOpenCL

without clang:

gcc -o devices devices.c -lOpenCL
gcc -o platforms platforms.c -lOpenCL

For ARM, I compiled it as:

$  gcc platforms.c -L/system/lib/egl -lGLES_mali -o platforms

For Linux, try this:

clang devices.c -o devices -lOpenCL
clang platforms.c -o platforms -lOpenCL

must be install sudo apt install clang

Thanks, pretty useful!

Thank you for this small improvement would be error checking :).

Thanks in advance, it is really helpful!

Hi @courtneyfaulkner
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks!
