<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname>kernel</varname>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
A valid kernel object.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname>arg_index</varname>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
The argument index. Arguments to the kernel are referred by indices that
go from 0 for the leftmost argument to <varname>n</varname> - 1, where
<varname>n</varname> is the total number of arguments declared by a kernel.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname>arg_value</varname>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
A pointer to data that should be used as the argument value for argument
specified by <varname>arg_index</varname>. The argument data pointed to by
<varname>arg_value</varname> is copied and the <varname>arg_value</varname>
pointer can therefore be reused by the application after
<function>clSetKernelArg</function> returns. The argument value specified
is the value used by all API calls that enqueue <varname>kernel</varname>
(<citerefentry><refentrytitle>clEnqueueNDRangeKernel</refentrytitle></citerefentry>)
until the argument value is changed by a call to
<function>clSetKernelArg</function> for <varname>kernel</varname>.
</para>
<para>
If the argument is a memory object (buffer, pipe, image or image array), the
<varname>arg_value</varname> entry will be a pointer to the appropriate
buffer, pipe, image or image array object. The memory object must be created
with the context associated with the kernel object. If the argument
is a buffer object, the <varname>arg_value</varname> pointer can be
NULL or point to a NULL value in which case a NULL value will be used
as the value for the argument declared as a pointer to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>global</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>constant</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
memory in the kernel. If the argument is declared with the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>local</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
qualifier, the <varname>arg_value</varname> entry must be NULL. If the
argument is of type <type>sampler_t</type>, the <varname>arg_value</varname> entry
must be a pointer to the sampler object. If the argument is of type
<type>queue_t</type>, the <varname>arg_value</varname> entry must be a
pointer to the device queue object.
</para>
<para>
If the argument is declared to be a pointer of a built-in scalar or vector
type, or a user defined structure type in the global or constant address
space, the memory object specified as argument value must be a buffer
object (or NULL). If the argument is declared with the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>constant</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
qualifier, the size in bytes of the memory object cannot
exceed <constant>CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SIZE</constant>
and the number of arguments declared as pointers to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>constant</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
memory cannot exceed <constant>CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_ARGS</constant>.
</para>
<para>
The memory object specified as argument value must be a pipe object if
the argument is declared with the <code>pipe</code> qualifier.
</para>
<para>
The memory object specified as argument value must be a 2D image object if the argument is
declared to be of type <link xlink:href="abstractDataTypes.html">image2d_t</link>.
The memory object specified as argument value must be a 2D
image object with image channel order =
<constant>CL_DEPTH</constant> if the argument is
declared to be of type
<link xlink:href="abstractDataTypes.html">image2d_depth_t</link>.
The memory object
specified as argument value must be a 3D image object if argument is declared to be of type
<link xlink:href="abstractDataTypes.html">image3d_t</link>. The memory object specified as
argument value must be a 1D image object if the argument is declared to be of type
<link xlink:href="abstractDataTypes.html">image1d_t</link>. The memory object specified as
argument value must be a 1D image buffer object if the argument is declared to be of type
<link xlink:href="abstractDataTypes.html">image1d_buffer_t</link>.
The memory object specified as argument value must be a 1D image array object if argument
is declared to be of type <link xlink:href="abstractDataTypes.html">image1d_array_t</link>.
The memory object specified as argument value must be a 2D image array object if argument is
declared to be of type <link xlink:href="abstractDataTypes.html">image2d_array_t</link>.
The memory object specified as argument value must be a 2D image
array object with image channel order =
<constant>CL_DEPTH</constant> if argument is declared to be of type
<link xlink:href="abstractDataTypes.html">image2d_array_depth_t</link>.
</para>
<para>
For all other kernel arguments, the <varname>arg_value</varname> entry
must be a pointer to the actual data to be used as argument value.
</para>
<para>
If the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>cl_khr_gl_msaa_sharing</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
extension is supported,
if the argument is a multi-sample 2D image, the
<varname>arg_value</varname> entry must be a
pointer to a multisample image object. If the
argument is a multi-sample 2D depth image, the
<varname>arg_value</varname> entry
must be a pointer to a multisample depth image
object. If the argument is a multi-sample 2D
image array, the <varname>arg_value</varname>
entry must be a pointer to a multi-sample
image array object. If the
argument is a multi-sample 2D depth image array,
the <varname>arg_value</varname> entry must
be a pointer to a
multi-sample depth image array object.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname>
arg_size
</varname>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies the size of the argument value. If the argument is
a memory object, the size is the size of the memory
object. For arguments declared with the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>local</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
qualifier, the size specified will be the size in bytes
of the buffer that must be allocated for the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>local</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
argument. If the argument is of type <type>sampler_t</type>,
the <varname>arg_size</varname> value must be equal to
<code>sizeof(cl_sampler)</code>.
If the argument is of type <type>queue_t</type>,
the <varname>arg_size</varname> value must be equal
to <code>sizeof(cl_command_queue)</code>.
For all other arguments, the size will
be the size of argument type.

<!-- ================================ NOTES -->
<!-- Use <function /> to refer ONLY to the function that this page describes. All other functions should use
<citerefentry /><refentrytitle /> to make it a link. Use <varname /> for parameters. Use <constant /> for
constants (or anything to be set in monospace, non-bold type. -->
<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para>
A kernel object does not update the reference count for objects such as memory, sampler
objects specified as argument values by <function>clSetKernelArg</function>. Users may
not rely on a kernel object to retain objects specified as argument values to the kernel.
</para>
<para>
Implementations shall not allow <type>cl_kernel</type> objects to hold reference counts to
<type>cl_kernel</type> arguments, because no mechanism is provided for the user to tell the kernel
to release that ownership right. If the kernel holds ownership rights on kernel args,
that would make it impossible for the user to tell with certainty when he may safely
release user allocated resources associated with OpenCL objects such as the <type>cl_mem</type>
backing store used with <constant>CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR</constant>.
