Cannot create a buffer with a size than exceeds a UInt32

Open herzfeldd opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I am unable to create a buffer with a size that exceeds the size of a UInt32 due to an InexactError in buffer.jl:126 (it currently casts the number of bytes of the buffer to a cl_uint). I should be able to allocate a buffer larger than this on my card as device[:address_bits] is 64.

I don't think there would be an issue changing this parameter to type cl_ulong, but I have not gone through the code in great detail.

Your best chance to get this into OpenCL.jl would be to try out the change and make a PR ;)
