I created kernel in OpenCL and host in C++ using OpenCL library. Unfortunately, despite longs hours spent on solving the problem, I get the following error: OpenCL error: clCreateKernel (-45). Why? I tested sample project to check if it’s not hardware problem: https://gist.github.com/jarutis/a64eaa38c1caaf7bc3d28cea64bb8359 It works perfectly — I needed to change one thing in the code.

const char* kernel2Greedy = R"(
__kernel void parallelGreedy2(__global long* denominators, int numDenominators, double numberToExchange, __global char* result) {
for (int i = 0; i < numDenominators - 1; i++) {
        for (int j = i + 1; j < numDenominators; j++) {
            if (denominators[i] < denominators[j]) {
                long temp = denominators[i];
                denominators[i] = denominators[j];
                denominators[j] = temp;
            }
        }
    }

    result[0] = '';

    for (int i = 0; i < numDenominators && numberToExchange > 0; i++) {
        if (numberToExchange >= denominators[i]) {
            int biggestNumberToExchangeInLoop = (int)(numberToExchange / denominators[i]);
            char temp[100];
            snprintf(temp, sizeof(temp), "%ld cash x%dn", denominators[i], biggestNumberToExchangeInLoop);

            int offset = 0;
            while (result[offset] != '') {
                offset++;
            }

            for (int j = 0; temp[j] != ''; j++) {
                result[offset++] = temp[j];
            }
            result[offset] = '';

            numberToExchange = round(100 * (numberToExchange - (biggestNumberToExchangeInLoop * denominators[i]))) / 100.0;
        }
    }
}

)";

        // run the kernel
        queue.enqueueNDRangeKernel(kernel, cl::NullRange, cl::NDRange(numberOfInstances2), cl::NullRange);

        queue.finish();

        // copy the data back
        std::vector<char> result(numberOfInstances2 * 1000);
        queue.enqueueReadBuffer(bufferResult, CL_TRUE, 0, sizeof(char) * 1000 * numberOfInstances2, result.data());

        // Print results
        for (int i = 0; i < numberOfInstances2; ++i) {
            std::cout << "Result for instance " << i << ":" << std::endl;
            std::cout << std::string(result.begin() + (i * 1000), result.begin() + ((i + 1) * 1000)) << std::endl;
        }
    } catch (cl::Error& e) {
        std::cerr << "OpenCL error: " << e.what() << " (" << e.err() << ")" << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    return 0;
}

I still get OpenCL error: clCreateKernel (-45).

The algorithm itself works properly (checked).

What do I miss?
