How to type-cast char* to int* in openCL

Question

Can any one tell me how to typecast a char* pointer to int* in OpenCL kernel function?? I tried ((int*) char_pointer) but it is not wo

You have to qualify the pointer with the correct address space, I think.

If you don't specify the address space, __private is assumed, but your source pointer seems to be a __global pointer (from your comment), so the address spaces are incompatible.

So try to use (__global int*) instead of just (int*).
