<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
All work-items in a work-group executing the kernel
on a processor must execute this function before any
are allowed to continue execution beyond the barrier.
This function must be encountered by all work-items in
a work-group executing the kernel.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If <code class="function">barrier</code> is inside a conditional statement, then all
work-items must enter the conditional if any work-item
enters the conditional statement and executes the
<code class="function">barrier</code>.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If <code class="function">barrier</code> is inside a loop, all work-items must execute
the <code class="function">barrier</code> for each iteration of the loop before any are
allowed to continue execution beyond the <code class="function">barrier</code>.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The <code class="function">barrier</code> function also queues a memory fence
(reads and writes) to ensure correct ordering of
memory operations to local or global memory.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The <code class="varname">flags</code> argument specifies the memory address space
and can be set to a combination of the following literal
values.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE - The <code class="function">barrier</code> function
will either flush any variables stored in local memory
or queue a memory fence to ensure correct ordering of
memory operations to local memory.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE - The <code class="function">barrier</code> function
will queue a memory fence to ensure correct ordering
of memory operations to global memory. This can be
useful when work-items, for example, write to buffer or
image objects and then want to read the updated data.
