example/opencl_test.cpp:25–100

the opencl_test example displays the opencl platforms and devices found on the system using the opencl api directly. if this test fails to compile and/or run, there is a problem with the opencl implementation found on the system. users should ensure this test runs successfuly before using any of the boost.compute apis (which depend on a working opencl implementation).
