open_cl_rust

A safe, fast, no nonsense Rust lib for interacting with OpenCL.

NOTE: As of right now this library is very alpha software. Use at your own risk!

NOTE: As of right now this library has only been used on my Macbook. Linux and Windows have not been tried.

C FFI Philosophy

  • All interaction with a raw pointer is unsafe.

  • All functions that take a raw pointer as an arg are unsafe.

  • All functions that return a raw pointer are unsafe.

  • A function that is not marked unsafe cannot return a raw pointer.

  • Only allow access to raw pointers via functions marked as unsafe.
