Do an element lookup in the 3D image object, returning unnormalized signed integer and unsigned integer values
The forms that take
a sampler_t use the coordinate (coord.x, coord.y,
coord.z)) to do an element lookup in the 3D image object specified by
image
. coord.w
is ignored.
The samplerless read image functions behave
exactly as the corresponding read image functions that take integer coordinates and a
sampler with filter mode set to CLK_FILTER_NEAREST
, normalized
coordinates set to CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE
and addressing
mode to CLK_ADDRESS_NONE
.
read_imagei
and read_imageui
return
unnormalized signed integer and unsigned integer values respectively. Each channel
will be stored in a 32-bit integer.
read_imagei
can only be used with image objects created with
image_channel_data_type
set to one of the following values:
CL_SIGNED_INT8
, CL_SIGNED_INT16
, or
CL_SIGNED_INT32
. If the image_channel_data_type
is not one of the above values, the values returned by read_imagei
are undefined.
read_imageui
can only be used with image objects created with
image_channel_data_type
set to one of the following values:
CL_UNSIGNED_INT8
, CL_UNSIGNED_INT16
, and
CL_UNSIGNED_INT32
. If the image_channel_data_type
is not one of the above values, the values returned by read_imageui
are undefined.
The read_imageui
calls support a nearest filter
only. The filter_mode specified in sampler
must be set to
CLK_FILTER_NEAREST
; otherwise the values returned are undefined.
Furthermore, the read_image{i|ui}
calls that take
integer coordinates must use a sampler with normalized coordinates set to
CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE
and addressing mode set to
CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE
, CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP
or CLK_ADDRESS_NONE
; otherwise the values returned are undefined.
The built-in functions defined in this section can only be used with image memory objects. An image memory object can be accessed by specific function calls that read from and/or write to specific locations in the image.
Image memory objects that are being read by a kernel should be declared with the __read_only
qualifier. write_image
calls to image memory objects declared with the
__read_only
qualifier will generate a compilation error. Image memory objects that
are being written to by a kernel should be declared with the __write_only qualifier.
read_image
calls to image memory objects declared with the __write_only
qualifier will generate a compilation error. read_image
and
write_image
calls to the same image memory object in a kernel are
not supported.
The read_image
calls returns a four component floating-point, integer or
unsigned integer color value. The color values returned by read_image
are identified as x, y, z, w
where x
refers to the red component,
y
refers to the green component, z
refers to the blue component
and w
refers to the alpha component.
The following table describes the mapping
of the number of channels of an image element to the appropriate components in the
float4, int4 or uint4 vector data type for
the color values returned by read_image{f|i|ui}
or supplied
to write_image{f|i|ui}
. The unmapped components will be set
to 0.0
for red, green and blue channels and will be set to
1.0
for the alpha channel.

A kernel that uses a sampler with the CL_ADDRESS_CLAMP
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
read_image{f|i|ui}
, 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
CL_DEVICE_MAX_SAMPLERS
. Enqueuing a kernel that requires more samplers
than the implementation can support will result in a CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES
error being returned.
