5 Forward compatible version - ID: 2835552

Last Update: Comment added ( l0calh05t )

Details:

Would it be possible to make a forward compatible version of GLEW, which
only defines and initializes entry points and constants which are not
deprecated in the given version (could be an extra option for the auto
scripts, also extensions which depend on deprecated features would have to
be removed))? This would be helpful in creating GL3-compliant programs and
would reduce initialization times etc.

Date: 2009-11-15 13:32 Sender: l0calh05t Do you mean _glewInit_GL_VERSION_3_0 ? That only intializes the additional entry points. Forward compatible means a version which only defines the non-deprecated functions. This would require an additional generator script (but would result in smaller code, since quite a lot would be removed)
Date: 2009-08-15 13:16 Sender: realtech This is already done, by _glewInit_GLEW_VERSION_3_0 However the current version is buggy - Some functions entry point are missing (like GL_ARB_framebuffer_object). - It tries to initialize GL_VERSION_1_2 - 1_5
