        <h2>Description</h2>
        <p>
OpenCL implements the following disjoint address spaces: <a class="citerefentry" href="global.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">__global</span></span></a>, <code class="function">__local</code>, <a class="citerefentry" href="constant.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">__constant</span></span></a> and <a class="citerefentry" href="private.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">__private</span></span></a>.
		</p>
        <p>       
The address space qualifier may be used in variable
declarations to specify the region of memory that is used to allocate the object. The C syntax for
type qualifiers is extended in OpenCL to include an address space name as a valid type qualifier.
If the type of an object is qualified by an address space name, the object is allocated in the
specified address name; otherwise, the object is allocated in the generic address space.
        </p>
        <p>
The address space names without the __ prefix i.e.
<code class="function">global</code>,
<code class="function">local</code>,
<code class="function">constant</code> and
<code class="function">private</code>
may be substituted for the corresponding address space names with the __prefix.
        </p>
        <p>
The generic address space name for arguments to a
function in a program, or local variables of a
function is <code class="function">__private</code>.
All arguments to a <code class="function">__kernel</code> function
shall be in the <code class="function">__private</code>
address space.
        </p>
        <p>
<a class="citerefentry" href="functionQualifiers.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">__kernel</span></span></a> function arguments declared
to be a pointer of a type can point to one of the
following address spaces only:
<code class="function">__global</code>,
<code class="function">__local</code> or
<code class="function">__constant</code>.
A pointer to
address space A can only be assigned to a pointer
to the same address space A. Casting a
pointer to address space A to a pointer to address space B is illegal.
        </p>
        <p>
The <code class="function">__kernel</code> function arguments declared to be of type
<span class="type"><a class="citerefentry" href="otherDataTypes.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">image2d_t</span></span></a></span> or <span class="type"><a class="citerefentry" href="otherDataTypes.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">image3d_t</span></span></a></span>
always point to the <code class="function">__global</code> address space. All program scope variables must be declared in the <code class="function">__constant</code> address space.
        </p>
        <p>
The <code class="function">__local</code> or <code class="function">local</code> address space name
is used to describe variables that need to be allocated in local memory and are shared by all work-items of a work-group. This qualifier can be used with arguments to functions (including <code class="function">__kernel</code> functions) declared as pointers, or with variables defined inside a <code class="function">__kernel</code> function.
