Opencl for C++, buffer.release() is protected member

Question

Im learning how to make simple opencl programs in C++ using Amd's app sdk and Khronos's header files for Opencl 1.2. I used the below example and it is working. But when I try to `.release()` the buffers in the end, I get an error message from compiler saying "cannot access protected member". ``` int problemSize=1024; const char * kernelDerlenecek = "__kernel void Toplam(__global float * v1, __global float * v2)" "{" " int i = get_global_id(0);" " v2[i]=v1[i];" "}"; cl::Context altYapi(CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU); cl::Program::Sources kaynaklar; kaynaklar.push_back(std::make_pair(kernelDerlenecek,strlen(kernelDerlenecek))); cl::Program program(altYapi,kaynaklar); std::vector aygitlar=altYapi.getInfo(); program.build(aygitlar); cl::Kernel kernel(program,"Toplam"); cl::CommandQueue cmdQ(altYapi,aygitlar[0]); std::vector input; std::generate_n (std::back_inserter ( input ) , problemSize , rand) ; cl::Buffer inputBuffer(altYapi, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY|CL_MEM_CO…

Accepted Answer

It is good that the class Buffer handles itself the allocation and destruction.

If you want to allocate and destroy it manually just do this:

```
vector<cl::Buffer> mybuffer;
```

Then simply to create a memory zone:

```
mybuffer.push_back(cl::Buffer(/*constructor parameters*/));
```

To destroy it:

```
mybuffer.clear();
```

And the good thing is that if you forget to delete it, it will delete it automatically.
