A Rust adapter for the Khronos OpenCL API.

Description

A functional, safe Rust interface to the Khronos OpenCL 3.0 C API based upon the cl-sys OpenCL FFI bindings.

OpenCL 3.0 is a unified specification that adds little new functionality to previous OpenCL versions.
It specifies that all OpenCL 1.2 features are mandatory, while all OpenCL 2.x and 3.0 features are now optional.

Design

This crate applies the adapter pattern to convert OpenCL C API functions into Rust functions that return a Result containing the desired result of the C function or the OpenCL error code. The exception is svm_free, which just provides a safe wrapper for the clSVMFree C API function.

Most of the modules are named after their equivalent OpenCL “API” sections in cl.h. They contain Rust adapter functions for the OpenCL API C functions defined in those sections with their associated types and constants. The exceptions are:

  • error_codes - contains the OpenCL API error codes from cl.h and a function (error_text) to convert an error code to it’s enum name from cl.h.
  • info_type - contains a Rust enum (InfoType) to hold the OpenCL types that can be returned from OpenCL “Info” functions, e.g. clGetPlatformInfo, clGetDeviceInfo, clGetProgramInfo, etc.
  • macros - contains Rust macros to call the OpenCL “Info” functions and return the appropriate InfoType in a Rust Result.

It is vital to call the correct InfoType method type when decoding the result of “Info” functions, since the methods will panic if called with the wrong type, see info_type.
