# clCreateProgramWithBuiltInKernels(3clc)

Creates a program object for a context, and loads the information related to the built-in kernels into a program object.

## NAME

clCreateProgramWithBuiltInKernels - Creates a program object for a context, and loads the information related to the built-in kernels into a program object.

##

**cl\_program clCreateProgramWithBuiltInKernels(cl\_context** *context***, cl\_uint** *num\_devices***, const cl\_device\_id \****device\_list***, const char \****kernel\_names***, cl\_int \****errcode\_ret***);**

## PARAMETERS

 *context*

Must be a valid OpenCL context.

 *num\_devices*

The number of devices listed in *device\_list*.

 *device\_list*

A pointer to a list of devices that are in *context*. *device\_list* must be a non-NULL value. The built-in kernels are loaded for devices specified in this list.

The devices associated with the program object will be the list of devices specified by *device\_list*. The list of devices specified by *device\_list* must be devices associated with context.

 *kernel\_names*

A semi-colon separated list of built-in kernel names.

## ERRORS

Returns a valid non-zero program object and *errcode\_ret* is set to CL\_SUCCESS if the program object is created successfully. Otherwise, it returns a NULL value with one of the following error values returned in *errcode\_ret*:

• CL\_INVALID\_CONTEXT if *context* is not a valid context.

• CL\_INVALID\_VALUE if *device\_list* is NULL or *num\_devices* is zero;

• CL\_INVALID\_VALUE if *kernel\_names* is NULL or *kernel\_names* contains a kernel name that is not supported by any of the devices in *device\_list*.

• CL\_INVALID\_DEVICE if devices listed in *device\_list* are not in the list of devices associated with *context*.

• 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.
