+=head2 How to modify the previous example to not rely on GL sharing.
+For those poor souls with only a sucky CPU OpenCL implementation, you
+currently have to read the image into some perl scalar, and then modify a
+texture or use glDrawPixels or so).
+First, when you don't need gl sharing, you can create the context much simpler:
+   $ctx = $platform->context (undef, [$dev])
+To use a texture, you would modify the above example by creating an
+OpenCL::Image manually instead of deriving it from a texture:
+   my $tex = $ctx->image2d (OpenCL::MEM_WRITE_ONLY, OpenCL::RGBA, OpenCL::UNORM_INT8, $S, $S);
+And in the draw loop, intead of acquire_gl_objects/release_gl_objects, you
+would read the image2d after the kernel has written it:
+   $queue->read_image ($tex, 0, 0, 0, 0, $S, $S, 1, 0, 0, my $data);
+And then you would upload the pixel data to the texture (or use glDrawPixels):
+   glTexSubImage2D_s GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 0, 0, $S, $S, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, $data;
+The fully modified example can be found at
+L<http://cvs.schmorp.de/OpenCL/examples/juliaflight-nosharing>.
+=head2 Julia sets look soooo 80ies.
+Then colour them differently, e.g. using orbit traps! Replace the loop and
+colour calculation from the previous examples by this:
+  float2 dm = (float2)(1.f, 1.f);
+  for (int i = 0; i < 25; ++i)
+    {
+      z = (float2)(z.x * z.x - z.y * z.y, 2.f * z.x * z.y) + c;
+      dm = fmin (dm, (float2)(fabs (dot (z, z) - 1.f), fabs (z.x - 1.f)));
+    }
+  float3 colour = (float3)(dm.x * dm.y, dm.x * dm.y, dm.x);
+Also try C<-10.f> instead of C<-1.f>.

+=head2 CONSTANTS
+All C<CL_xxx> constants that this module supports are always available
+in the C<OpenCL> namespace as C<OpenCL::xxx> (i.e. without the C<CL_>
+prefix). Constants which are not defined in the header files used during
+compilation, or otherwise are not available, will have the value C<0> (in
+some cases, this will make them indistinguishable from real constants,
+sorry).
+The latest version of this module knows and exports the constants
+listed in L<http://cvs.schmorp.de/OpenCL/constiv.h>.
+=head2 OPENCL 1.1 VS. OPENCL 1.2
+This module supports both OpenCL version 1.1 and 1.2, although the OpenCL
+1.2 interface hasn't been tested much for lack of availability of an
+actual implementation.
+Every function or method in this manual page that interfaces to a
+particular OpenCL function has a link to the its C manual page.
+If the link contains a F<1.1>, then this function is an OpenCL 1.1
+function. Most but not all also exist in OpenCL 1.2, and this module
+tries to emulate the missing ones for you, when told to do so at
+compiletime. You can check whether a function was removed in OpenCL 1.2 by
+replacing the F<1.1> component in the URL by F<1.2>.
+If the link contains a F<1.2>, then this is a OpenCL 1.2-only
+function. Even if the module was compiled with OpenCL 1.2 header files
+and has an 1.2 OpenCL library, calling such a function on a platform that
+doesn't implement 1.2 causes undefined behaviour, usually a crash (But
+this is not guaranteed).
+You can find out whether this module was compiled to prefer 1.1
+functionality by ooking at C<OpenCL::PREFER_1_1> - if it is true, then
+1.1 functions generally are implemented using 1.1 OpenCL functions. If it
+is false, then 1.1 functions missing from 1.2 are emulated by calling 1.2
+fucntions.
+This is a somewhat sorry state of affairs, but the Khronos group choose to
+make every release of OpenCL source and binary incompatible with previous
+releases.
 =head2 PERL AND OPENCL TYPES
 This handy(?) table lists OpenCL types and their perl, PDL and pack/unpack
 format equivalents:
 For this to work, the OpenGL library must be loaded, a GLX context must
 have been created and be made current, and C<dlsym> must be available and
 capable of finding the function via C<RTLD_DEFAULT>.
+=head2 EVENT SYSTEM
+OpenCL can generate a number of (potentially) asynchronous events, for
+example, after compiling a program, to signal a context-related error or,
+perhaps most important, to signal completion of queued jobs (by setting
+callbacks on OpenCL::Event objects).
+The OpenCL module converts all these callbacks into events - you can
+still register callbacks, but they are not executed when your OpenCL
+implementation calls the actual callback, but only later. Therefore, none
+of the limitations of OpenCL callbacks apply to the perl implementation:
+it is perfectly safe to make blocking operations from event callbacks, and
+enqueued operations don't need to be flushed.
+To facilitate this, this module maintains an event queue - each
+time an asynchronous event happens, it is queued, and perl will be
+interrupted. This is implemented via the L<Async::Interrupt> module. In
+addition, this module has L<AnyEvent> support, so it can seamlessly
+integrate itself into many event loops.
+Since L<Async::Interrupt> is a bit hard to understand, here are some case examples:
+=head3 Don't use callbacks.
+When your program never uses any callbacks, then there will never be any
+notifications you need to take care of, and therefore no need to worry
+about all this.
+You can achieve a great deal by explicitly waiting for events, or using
+barriers and flush calls. In many programs, there is no need at all to
+tinker with asynchronous events.
+=head3 Use AnyEvent
+This module automatically registers a watcher that invokes all outstanding
+event callbacks when AnyEvent is initialised (and block asynchronous
+interruptions). Using this mode of operations is the safest and most
+recommended one.
+To use this, simply use AnyEvent and this module normally, make sure you
+have an event loop running:
+   use Gtk2 -init;
+   use AnyEvent;
+   # initialise AnyEvent, by creating a watcher, or:
+   AnyEvent::detect;
+   my $e = $queue->marker;
+   $e->cb (sub {
+      warn "opencl is finished\n";
+   })
+   main Gtk2;
+Note that this module will not initialise AnyEvent for you. Before
+AnyEvent is initialised, the module will asynchronously interrupt perl
+instead. To avoid any surprises, it's best to explicitly initialise
+AnyEvent.
+You can temporarily enable asynchronous interruptions (see next paragraph)
+by calling C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->unblock> and disable them again by
+calling C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->block>.
+=head3 Let yourself be interrupted at any time
+This mode is the default unless AnyEvent is loaded and initialised. In
+this mode, OpenCL asynchronously interrupts a running perl program. The
+emphasis is on both I<asynchronously> and I<running> here.
+Asynchronously means that perl might execute your callbacks at any
+time. For example, in the following code (I<THAT YOU SHOULD NOT COPY>),
+the C<until> loop following the marker call will be interrupted by the
+callback:
+   my $e = $queue->marker;
+   my $flag;
+   $e->cb (sub { $flag = 1 });
+   1 until $flag;
+   # $flag is now 1
+The reason why you shouldn't blindly copy the above code is that
+busy waiting is a really really bad thing, and really really bad for
+performance.
+While at first this asynchronous business might look exciting, it can be
+really hard, because you need to be prepared for the callback code to be
+executed at any time, which limits the amount of things the callback code
+can do safely.
+This can be mitigated somewhat by using C<<
+$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->scope_block >> (see the L<Async::Interrupt>
+documentation for details).
+The other problem is that your program must be actively I<running> to be
+interrupted. When you calculate stuff, your program is running.  When you
+hang in some C functions or other block execution (by calling C<sleep>,
+C<select>, running an event loop and so on), your program is waiting, not
+running.
+One way around that would be to attach a read watcher to your event loop,
+listening for events on C<< $OpenCL::INTERRUPT->pipe_fileno >>, using a
+dummy callback (C<sub { }>) to temporarily execute some perl code.
+That is then awfully close to using the built-in AnyEvent support above,
+though, so consider that one instead.
+=head3 Be creative
+OpenCL exports the L<Async::Interrupt> object it uses in the global
+variable C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT>. You can configure it in any way you like.
+So if you want to feel like a real pro, err, wait, if you feel no risk
+menas no fun, you can experiment by implementing your own mode of
+operations.

+=head3 MEMORY MAPPED BUFFERS
+OpenCL allows you to map buffers and images to host memory (read: perl
+scalars). This is done much like reading or copying a buffer, by enqueuing
+a map or unmap operation on the command queue.
+The map operations return an C<OpenCL::Mapped> object - see L<THE
+OpenCL::Mapped CLASS> section for details on what to do with these
+objects.
+The object will be unmapped automatically when the mapped object is
+destroyed (you can use a barrier to make sure the unmap has finished,
+before using the buffer in a kernel), but you can also enqueue an unmap
+operation manually.

+L<http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.1/docs/man/xhtml/clEnqueueMapImage.html>

-This is a subclass of OpenCL::Event.
+This class represents objects mapped into host memory. They are
+represented by a blessed string scalar. The string data is the mapped
+memory area, that is, if you read or write it, then the mapped object is
+accessed directly.
+You must only ever use operations that modify the string in-place - for
+example, a C<substr> that doesn't change the length, or maybe a regex that
+doesn't change the length. Any other operation might cause the data to be
+copied.
+When the object is destroyed it will enqueue an implicit unmap operation
+on the queue that was used to create it.
+Keep in mind that you I<need> to unmap (or destroy) mapped objects before
+OpenCL sees the changes, even if some implementations don't need this
+sometimes.
+Example, replace the first two floats in the mapped buffer by 1 and 2.
+   my $mapped = $queue->map_buffer ($buf, ...
+   $mapped->event->wait; # make sure it's there
+   # now replace first 8 bytes by new data, which is exactly 8 bytes long
+   # we blindly assume device endianness to equal host endianness
