read only and write only buffers

I have an opencl buffer that is used by kernel A as read only, and kernel B as read_write. SO, the buffer is created read_write.

In kernel A, is there a way of indicating that the buffer is read only for this kernel?

Thanks!

Yes, you can indicate it by setting the pointer as constant:

__kernel void mykernel (__global const int * a, ...)

Or even by setting the memory as constant memory (if it fits in the constant space):

 __kernel void mykernel (__constant int * a, ...)
