## Description

The sampler-less image read functions behave exactly as the corresponding built-in image read functions that take integer coordinates and a sampler with filter mode set to CLK_FILTER_NEAREST, normalized coordinates set to CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE and addressing mode to CLK_ADDRESS_NONE. There is one exception when the image_channel_data_type is a floating point type (such as CL_FLOAT). In this exceptional case, when channel data values are denormalized, the sampler-less image read function may return the denormalized data, while the image read function with a sampler argument may flush the denormalized channel data values to zero.

aQual in the following table refers to one of the access qualifiers. For samplerless read functions this may be read_only or read_write.
