💀 DEPRECATED (3clc) — the OpenCL manual's graveyard era

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is the 3clc page from the OpenCL Manual, and it's basically the "we don't do that anymore" list. it's giving ✨ archive vibes ✨. no cap, every single thing on here got ✂️ benched in a later OpenCL version, and this page is just here to tell you what got benched and when. iykyk.

🌈 OPENCL 1.1 FEATURES DEPRECATED IN OPENCL 1.2

these are the OpenCL 1.1 era icons that got quietly un-alived in OpenCL 1.2 💀 bestie, if you're still calling these, the vibe check said no:

• clEnqueueMarker, clEnqueueBarrier, clEnqueueWaitForEvents — the whole marker/barrier/wait-for-events trio, gone together, matching fits and everything 😭
• clCreateImage2D, clCreateImage3D — the 2D and 3D image creation girlies, both deprecated, both iconic in their day 🎀
• clUnloadCompiler, clGetExtensionFunctionAddress — one unloads the compiler, one hunts down extension function addresses, and both got shown the door 🚪
• clCreateFromGLTexture2D, clCreateFromGLTexture3D — the GL-texture-to-OpenCL crossover duo, deprecated, we hardly knew ye 🦋
• the CL_DEVICE_MIN_DATA_TYPE_ALIGN_SIZE value for the param_name argument to clGetDeviceInfo(3clc) — yeah, that specific value you'd pass in as param_name, that's the deprecated part. don't come for me, that's literally what it says 🙈

💜 OPENCL 1.0 FEATURES DEPRECATED IN OPENCL 1.1

and these are the OG OpenCL 1.0 girlies that got retired a version earlier, in OpenCL 1.1 ✨ not me still remembering them:

• clSetCommandQueueProperty — deprecated, periodt. 💅
• the __ROUNDING_MODE__ macro — yes the macro, the whole macro, deprecated 🌸
• the -cl-strict-aliasing option for the options argument to clBuildProgram(3clc) — if you were sliding that flag into options, that's the deprecated one, bestie ⭐
