## Class context_error

boost::compute::context_error — A run-time OpenCL context error.

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/compute/exception/context_error.hpp>

    class context_error : public std::exception {
    public:

      // public member functions
      context_error(const context *, const char *, const void *, size_t);
      ~context_error();
      const char * what() const;
      const context * get_context_ptr() const;
      const void * get_private_info_ptr() const;
      size_t get_private_info_size() const;
    };

## Description

The context_error exception is thrown when the OpenCL context encounters an error condition. Boost.Compute is notified of these error conditions by registering an error handler when creating context objects (via the `pfn_notify` argument to the `clCreateContext()` function).

This exception is different than the opencl_error exception which is thrown as a result of error caused when calling a single OpenCL API function.

   Creates a new context error exception object.

2.     ~context_error();

   Destroys the context error object.

3.     const char * what() const;

   Returns a string with a description of the error.

4.     const context * get_context_ptr() const;

   Returns a pointer to the context object which generated the error notification.

5.     const void * get_private_info_ptr() const;

   Returns a pointer to the private info memory block.

6.     size_t get_private_info_size() const;

   Returns the size of the private info memory block.
