+=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 heaer files used during
+compilation, or otherwise are not available, will have the value C<-1>.
+=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 cna 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.

 =head2 THE OpenCL::Queue CLASS
 An OpenCL::Queue represents an execution queue for OpenCL. You execute
-requests by calling their respective C<enqueue_xxx> method and waitinf for
+requests by calling their respective method and waiting for it to complete
-it to complete in some way.
+in some way.
-All the enqueue methods return an event object that can be used to wait
+Most methods that enqueue some request return an event object that can
-for completion, unless the method is called in void context, in which case
+be used to wait for completion (optionally using a callback), unless
-no event object is created.
+the method is called in void context, in which case no event object is
+created.
 They also allow you to specify any number of other event objects that this
 request has to wait for before it starts executing, by simply passing the
 event objects as extra parameters to the enqueue methods. To simplify
 program design, this module ignores any C<undef> values in the list of
 events. This makes it possible to code operations such as this, without
 having to put a valid event object into C<$event> first:
-   $event = $queue->enqueue_xxx (..., $event);
+   $event = $queue->xxx (..., $event);
 Queues execute in-order by default, without any parallelism, so in most
 cases (i.e. you use only one queue) it's not necessary to wait for or
 create event objects, althoguh an our of order queue is often a bit
 faster.

+=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.

+what type of argument it is.
+The format arguments are single letters:

+   s   short

+   f   float
+   d   double
+   z   local (octet size)
+   m   memory object (buffer or image)
+   a   sampler
+   e   event
+Space characters in the format string are ignored.

+Note that C<set_memory> works for all memory objects (all types of buffers
+and images) - the main purpose of the more specific C<set_TYPE> functions
+is type checking.
+Setting an argument for a kernel does NOT keep a reference to the object -
+for example, if you set an argument to some image object, free the image,
+and call the kernel, you will run into undefined behaviour.

+=head2 THE OpenCL::Mapped CLASS
-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
+   # (and of course, we assume iee 754 single precision floats :)

+=item $bool = $mapped->mapped
+Returns whether the object is still mapped - true before an C<unmap> is

+=item $ev = $mapped->event
+Return the event object associated with the mapped object. Initially, this

+Returns the raw memory address of the mapped area.
