Description

See discussion in: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-CTS/pull/1372

See also: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Docs/issues/805

As a longer-term solution, rather than defining a hard-coded limit of 255 function arguments, we could add a new device query for the maximum number of supported function arguments. This could be done as an extension or in a new version of the API.

Research direction

Start by reading the discussion in OpenCL-CTS pull request 1372 and OpenCL-Docs issue 805. Determine whether the maximum supported function-argument count belongs in an extension or a new API version, and document the query design and specification changes needed for the work to be complete.
