While you can use the C bindings in your C++ application, Khronos also provides a set of C++ bindings in <code>CL/cl.hpp</code> (or <code>CL/cl2.hpp</code>) which are much easier to use alongside std containers such as <code>std::vector</code>. When using C++ bindings, you also do not need to worry about releasing buffers since these are reference-counted. | While you can use the C bindings in your C++ application, Khronos also provides a set of C++ bindings in <code>CL/cl.hpp</code> (or <code>CL/cl2.hpp</code>) which are much easier to use alongside std containers such as <code>std::vector</code>. | ||

==OpenGL Interop== | ==OpenGL Interop== | ||
Setting up OpenCL/OpenGL interop is fairly complicated and very hard to debug. | |||
You will also need to manage synchronizing OpenGL/OpenCL so they do not access the same memory at the same time. | |||
If you can, just use OpenGL compute shaders rather than OpenCL to simplify your life. | |||

In C++, you can use [https://github.khronos.org/OpenCL-CLHPP/classcl_1_1_image_g_l.html <code>cl::ImageGL</code>] to access textures in OpenGL. | In C++, you can use [https://github.khronos.org/OpenCL-CLHPP/classcl_1_1_image_g_l.html <code>cl::ImageGL</code>] to access textures in OpenGL. | ||

I recommend writing to a separate buffer and copying to images. | I recommend writing to a separate buffer and copying to images. | ||
See [https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/sdk/2.2/docs/man/html/clCreateFromGLTexture.html clCreateFromGLTexture] to get a list of compatible pixel formats. | |||
If in doubt, use <code>GL_RGBA8</code> which is the most likely format to be supported. | |||
