When is an implementation allowed/forbidden to flush a command queue? #479

Open kpet opened 4 years ago

kpet commented 4 years ago

The specification does list a number of situations in which an implementation is required to flush a command but outside of that it doesn't conclusively state whether flushing a command queue is allowed or forbidden in other API calls or outside of API calls.

See discussion on https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-CTS/pull/1012

Discussed on the 2020/11/03 teleconference: consensus that implementations should be allowed to flush command queues at any time and the specification should be clarified to say that.
