<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
An OpenCL context is created with one or more devices. Contexts are used by the
OpenCL runtime for managing objects such as command-queues, memory, program and kernel
objects and for executing kernels on one or more devices specified in the context.

immediately by the corresponding desired value. The list is terminated with
zero. If a property is not specified in <code class="varname">properties</code>, then its

A callback function that can be registered by the application. This callback

typically get a context passed to them by the application. However, it is possible
that the application may delete the context without informing the library. Allowing
