+
+=== Description
+
+{cl_ext_immutable_memory_objects_EXT} provides a mechanism to create memory
+objects that cannot be modified by the implementation after creation. This,
+for example, enables implementation to support image formats for which no write
+operations can be supported.
+
+=== New Enums
+
+  * {cl_mem_flags_TYPE}
+  ** {CL_MEM_IMMUTABLE_EXT}
+
+=== Issues
+
+1) Can {CL_MEM_READ_ONLY} be used instead of {CL_MEM_IMMUTABLE_EXT}?
+--
+*RESOLVED*: No. Memory objects created with {CL_MEM_READ_ONLY} can be modified
+by copy or fill commands and this behaviour cannot be changed without breaking
+backwards compatibility.
