           initialized with a 32-bit unsigned integer constant, which is interpreted as a

            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.
         </p>
         <p>
             The sampler type (sampler_t) can only be used as the type of a function argument or a
             variable declared in the program scope or the outermost scope of a kernel function. The
             behavior of a sampler variable declared in a non-outermost scope of a kernel function is
             implementation-defined. A sampler argument or variable cannot be modified.
         </p>
         <p>
             The sampler type cannot be used to declare a structure or union field, an array of
             samplers, a pointer to a sampler, or the return type of a function. The sampler type
             cannot be used with the <code class="code">__local</code> and
             <code class="code">__global</code> address space qualifiers.

	constant variable of type <span class="type">sampler_t</span> declared in the program source.
	</p>
	<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:

	The sampler_t type is only
	defined if the device supports images i.e.
	<code class="constant">CL_DEVICE_IMAGE_SUPPORT</code> as described in table
	4.3 is <code class="constant">CL_TRUE</code>.
	</p>
	<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>.

	If <code class="code"><addressing mode></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:

	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.
	</p>
	<p>
	The sampler type (sampler_t) can only be used as the type of a function argument or a
	variable declared in the program scope or the outermost scope of a kernel function. The
	behavior of a sampler variable declared in a non-outermost scope of a kernel function is
	implementation-defined. A sampler argument or variable cannot be modified.
	</p>
	<p>
	The sampler type cannot be used to declare a structure or union field, an array of
	samplers, a pointer to a sampler, or the return type of a function. The sampler type
	cannot be used with the <code class="code">__local</code> and
	<code class="code">__global</code> address space qualifiers.
