       Returns a valid non-zero program object and errcode_ret is set to CL_SUCCESS if the program object is
       created successfully. Otherwise, it returns a NULL value with one of the following error values returned
       in errcode_ret:

       •   CL_INVALID_CONTEXT if context is not a valid context.

       •   CL_INVALID_VALUE if device_list is NULL or num_devices is zero;

       •   CL_INVALID_DEVICE if OpenCL devices listed in device_list are not in the list of devices associated
           with context.

       •   CL_INVALID_VALUE if or if lengths or binaries are NULL or if any entry in lengths[i] or binaries[i]
           is NULL.

       •   CL_INVALID_BINARY if an invalid program binary was encountered for any device. binary_status will
           return specific status for each device.

       •   CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation
           on the device.

       •   CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL
           implementation on the host.

context
           Must be a valid OpenCL context.

        device_list
           A pointer to a list of devices that are in context.  device_list must be a non-NULL value. The
           binaries are loaded for devices specified in this list.

        num_devices
           The number of devices listed in device_list.

           The devices associated with the program object will be the list of devices specified by device_list.
           The list of devices specified by device_list must be devices associated with context.

        lengths
           An array of the size in bytes of the program binaries to be loaded for devices specified by
           device_list.

        binaries
           An array of pointers to program binaries to be loaded for devices specified by device_list. For each
           device given by device_list[i], the pointer to the program binary for that device is given by
           binaries[i] and the length of this corresponding binary is given by lengths[i].  lengths[i] cannot be
           zero and binaries[i] cannot be a NULL pointer.

           The program binaries specified by binaries contain the bits that describe one of the following:

           •    a program executable to be run on the device(s) associated with context.

           •    a compiled program for device(s) associated with context.

           •    a library of compiled programs for device(s) associated with context.

           The program binary can consist of either or both of device-specific code and/or
           implementation-specific intermediate representation (IR) which will be converted to the
           device-specific code.

        binary_status
           Returns whether the program binary for each device specified in device_list was loaded successfully
           or not. It is an array of num_devices entries and returns CL_SUCCESS in binary_status[i] if binary
           was successfully loaded for device specified by device_list[i]; otherwise returns CL_INVALID_VALUE if
           lengths[i] is zero or if binaries[i] is a NULL value or CL_INVALID_BINARY in binary_status[i] if
           program binary is not a valid binary for the specified device. If binary_status is NULL, it is
           ignored.

        errcode_ret
           Returns an appropriate error code. If errcode_ret is NULL, no error code is returned.
