        <p>
          Sampler variables in a program are declared to be of type <span class="type">sampler_t</span>. A
          variable of <span class="type">sampler_t</span> type declared in the program source must be
          initialized with a 32-bit unsigned integer constant, which is interpreted as a
          bit-field specifiying the following properties:

        <h2>Notes</h2>
        <p>
           Note that samplers declared using the 
          <code class="code">constant</code> qualifier are not counted towards the maximum number of arguments 
          pointing to the constant address space or the maximum size of the constant address space
          allowed per device (i.e. <code class="constant">CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_ARGS</code> and
          <code class="constant">CL_DEVICE_MAX_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SIZE</code> as described in table 4.3).
        </p>
        <p>
          The maximum number of samplers that can be declared in a
          kernel can be queried using the <code class="constant">CL_DEVICE_MAX_SAMPLERS</code> token in
          <a class="citerefentry" href="clGetDeviceInfo.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clGetDeviceInfo</span></span></a>.

        <p>
          
          If <code class="code">&lt;addressing mode&gt;</code> in sampler is
          <code class="constant">CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP</code>, then out-of-range image coordinates return
          the border color. The border color selected depends on the image channel order and
          can be one of the following values:

              is (0.0f, 0.0f,0.0f, 0.0f).

              <code class="constant">CL_LUMINANCE</code>, the border color is (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)

           A kernel that uses a
          sampler with the <code class="constant">CL_ADDRESS_CLAMP</code> addressing mode with
          multiple images may result in additional samplers being used internally by an
          implementation. If the same sampler is used with multiple images called via <a class="citerefentry" href="imageFunctions.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">read_image{f|i|ui}</span></span></a>,
          then it is possible that an implementation may need to allocate an additional
          sampler to handle the different border color values that may be needed depending
          on the image formats being used.  These implementation allocated samplers
          will count against the maximum sampler values supported by the device and
          given by <code class="constant">CL_DEVICE_MAX_SAMPLERS</code>. Enqueuing a kernel that
          requires more samplers than the implementation can support will result in a
          <code class="constant">CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES</code> error being returned.
