Description

The phrase "...valid events" is used in every API that accepts an event waitlist, but there is no definition of what a valid event is.

I think a valid event is any event that can be queried by clGetEventInfo - returned by an OpenCL API, is associated with an active context (if applicable), and has not been destroyed (if applicable).

Research direction

Start with the issue discussion and the OpenCL APIs that accept an event waitlist, especially clGetEventInfo. Done means the documentation records an agreed definition of a valid event and applies it consistently to those APIs.
