Errata: Incorrect param_value_size_ret argument in clGetDeviceInfo (ch.3, pg.70) #28

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

The fifth argument in clGetDeviceInfo() is “&size“ but should probably be 
“NULL“.  If you specify the “param_value_size“ and a non-NULL 
“param_value“ then their is no need to also query the 
“param_value_size_ret“, right?  As written in the book, 
which--“param_value“, “param_value_size_ret“, or both--values are 
queried?

It would be valid to pass NULL as the final argument but it is not required. In 
this case after the call size will be set to the number of bytes returned as a 
result of the query. So the code is valid.

The variable maxComputeUnits should be defined ahead.
