<h2>Notes</h2>
<p>
Decrements the <code class="varname">event</code> reference count.
</p>
<p>
The event object is deleted once the reference count becomes zero, the specific command
identified by this event has completed (or terminated) and there are no commands in
the command-queues of a context that require a wait for this event to complete.
Using this function
to release a reference that was not obtained by creating the object or by calling
<a class="citerefentry" href="clRetainEvent.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clRetainEvent</span></span></a>
causes undefined behavior.
</p>
<p>
Developers should be careful when releasing their last reference count on events
created by <a class="citerefentry" href="clCreateUserEvent.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clCreateUserEvent</span></span></a>
that have not yet been set to status of <code class="constant">CL_COMPLETE</code> or an error.
If the user event was used in the <code class="varname">event_wait_list</code> argument passed to
a <code class="function">clEnqueue***</code> API or another application host thread is waiting
for it in <a class="citerefentry" href="clWaitForEvents.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clWaitForEvents</span></span></a>,
those commands and host threads will continue to wait for the event status to reach
<code class="constant">CL_COMPLETE</code> or error, even after the user has released the object.
Since in this scenario the developer has released his last reference count to the
user event, it would be in principle no longer valid for him to change the status
of the event to unblock all the other machinery. As a result the waiting tasks will
wait forever, and associated events, <span class="type">cl_mem</span> objects, command queues and
contexts are likely to leak. In-order command queues caught up in this deadlock may
cease to do any work.
