/// \brief A compute context.

/// The context class represents a compute context.
///
/// A context object manages a set of OpenCL resources including memory
/// buffers and program objects. Before allocating memory on the device or
/// executing kernels you must set up a context object.
///
/// To create a context for the default device on the system:
/// \code
/// // get the default compute device
/// boost::compute::device gpu = boost::compute::system::default_device();
///
/// // create a context for the device
/// boost::compute::context context(gpu);
/// \endcode
///
/// Once a context is created, memory can be allocated using the buffer class
/// and kernels can be executed using the command_queue class.
///
/// \see device, command_queue
