How to get the size of “_cl_devide_id” struct in openCL?

cl_device_id is defined as "typedef struct _cl_device_id *cl_device_id". In the openCL method clGetDeviceIDs, "devices" parameter is of the type "cl_device_id *" and returns a pointer to the list of devices available. I'm trying to pass the whole struct using memcpy to another variable. For which I need to know the size of the "_cl_device_id" struct.

Hi @Aaditya_Chaudhary,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum, hope this message find you well and apologies for the delayed in response.
The mention '_cl_device_id' seems to be a abstract build in data types to the OpenCL platform.
As far as my understanding, you cant tell until the implementation are executed, only by then we can know the size.
Perhaps you can use something like malloc function during runtime to get the size and perform the needed, depending on what you are trying to do.
Hope this helps in clearing some doubts you have.

Warm regards.
