...on-kernel functions have private linkage, I believe: they are only callable by other functions in the same compilation unit. However, a __kernel behaves differently when called from the user program vs. another function in the compilation unit. In OpenCL the user program can invoke a kernel as an NDRange, i.e. with an implied loop around it to iterate over an index space of 1 to 3 dimensions. (This is the "big idea" of OpenCL). (The index values are available in the function body from intrinsic functions get_work_dim() and get_global_id(uint workdim).) But that implied loop is only appl...
