# Context guide {#context_guide}
|
||||
|
||||
[TOC]
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces the OpenGL and OpenGL ES context related functions of
|
||||
GLFW. For details on a specific function in this category, see the @ref
|
||||
context. There are also guides for the other areas of the GLFW API.
|
||||
|
||||
- @ref intro_guide
|
||||
- @ref window_guide
|
||||
- @ref vulkan_guide
|
||||
- @ref monitor_guide
|
||||
- @ref input_guide
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Context objects {#context_object}
|
||||
|
||||
A window object encapsulates both a top-level window and an OpenGL or OpenGL ES
|
||||
context. It is created with @ref glfwCreateWindow and destroyed with @ref
|
||||
glfwDestroyWindow or @ref glfwTerminate. See @ref window_creation for more
|
||||
information.
|
||||
|
||||
As the window and context are inseparably linked, the window object also serves
|
||||
as the context handle.
|
||||
|
||||
To test the creation of various kinds of contexts and see their properties, run
|
||||
the `glfwinfo` test program.
|
||||
|
||||
@note Vulkan does not have a context and the Vulkan instance is created via the
|
||||
Vulkan API itself. If you will be using Vulkan to render to a window, disable
|
||||
context creation by setting the [GLFW_CLIENT_API](@ref GLFW_CLIENT_API_hint)
|
||||
hint to `GLFW_NO_API`. For more information, see the @ref vulkan_guide.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Context creation hints {#context_hints}
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of hints, specified using @ref glfwWindowHint, related to
|
||||
what kind of context is created. See
|
||||
[context related hints](@ref window_hints_ctx) in the window guide.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Context object sharing {#context_sharing}
|
||||
|
||||
When creating a window and its OpenGL or OpenGL ES context with @ref
|
||||
glfwCreateWindow, you can specify another window whose context the new one
|
||||
should share its objects (textures, vertex and element buffers, etc.) with.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
GLFWwindow* second_window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Second Window", NULL, first_window);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Object sharing is implemented by the operating system and graphics driver. On
|
||||
platforms where it is possible to choose which types of objects are shared, GLFW
|
||||
requests that all types are shared.
|
||||
|
||||
See the relevant chapter of the [OpenGL](https://www.opengl.org/registry/) or
|
||||
[OpenGL ES](https://www.khronos.org/opengles/) reference documents for more
|
||||
information. The name and number of this chapter unfortunately varies between
|
||||
versions and APIs, but has at times been named _Shared Objects and Multiple
|
||||
Contexts_.
|
||||
|
||||
GLFW comes with a bare-bones object sharing example program called `sharing`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Offscreen contexts {#context_offscreen}
|
||||
|
||||
GLFW doesn't support creating contexts without an associated window. However,
|
||||
contexts with hidden windows can be created with the
|
||||
[GLFW_VISIBLE](@ref GLFW_VISIBLE_hint) window hint.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_VISIBLE, GLFW_FALSE);
|
||||
|
||||
GLFWwindow* offscreen_context = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "", NULL, NULL);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The window never needs to be shown and its context can be used as a plain
|
||||
offscreen context. Depending on the window manager, the size of a hidden
|
||||
window's framebuffer may not be usable or modifiable, so framebuffer
|
||||
objects are recommended for rendering with such contexts.
|
||||
|
||||
You should still [process events](@ref events) as long as you have at least one
|
||||
window, even if none of them are visible.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows without contexts {#context_less}
|
||||
|
||||
You can disable context creation by setting the
|
||||
[GLFW_CLIENT_API](@ref GLFW_CLIENT_API_hint) hint to `GLFW_NO_API`.
|
||||
|
||||
Windows without contexts should not be passed to @ref glfwMakeContextCurrent or
|
||||
@ref glfwSwapBuffers. Doing this generates a @ref GLFW_NO_WINDOW_CONTEXT error.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Current context {#context_current}
|
||||
|
||||
Before you can make OpenGL or OpenGL ES calls, you need to have a current
|
||||
context of the correct type. A context can only be current for a single thread
|
||||
at a time, and a thread can only have a single context current at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
When moving a context between threads, you must make it non-current on the old
|
||||
thread before making it current on the new one.
|
||||
|
||||
The context of a window is made current with @ref glfwMakeContextCurrent.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The window of the current context is returned by @ref glfwGetCurrentContext.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
GLFWwindow* window = glfwGetCurrentContext();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The following GLFW functions require a context to be current. Calling any these
|
||||
functions without a current context will generate a @ref GLFW_NO_CURRENT_CONTEXT
|
||||
error.
|
||||
|
||||
- @ref glfwSwapInterval
|
||||
- @ref glfwExtensionSupported
|
||||
- @ref glfwGetProcAddress
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Buffer swapping {#context_swap}
|
||||
|
||||
See @ref buffer_swap in the window guide.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## OpenGL and OpenGL ES extensions {#context_glext}
|
||||
|
||||
One of the benefits of OpenGL and OpenGL ES is their extensibility.
|
||||
Hardware vendors may include extensions in their implementations that extend the
|
||||
API before that functionality is included in a new version of the OpenGL or
|
||||
OpenGL ES specification, and some extensions are never included and remain
|
||||
as extensions until they become obsolete.
|
||||
|
||||
An extension is defined by:
|
||||
|
||||
- An extension name (e.g. `GL_ARB_gl_spirv`)
|
||||
- New OpenGL tokens (e.g. `GL_SPIR_V_BINARY_ARB`)
|
||||
- New OpenGL functions (e.g. `glSpecializeShaderARB`)
|
||||
|
||||
Note the `ARB` affix, which stands for Architecture Review Board and is used
|
||||
for official extensions. The extension above was created by the ARB, but there
|
||||
are many different affixes, like `NV` for Nvidia and `AMD` for, well, AMD. Any
|
||||
group may also use the generic `EXT` affix. Lists of extensions, together with
|
||||
their specifications, can be found at the
|
||||
[OpenGL Registry](https://www.opengl.org/registry/) and
|
||||
[OpenGL ES Registry](https://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Loading extension with a loader library {#context_glext_auto}
|
||||
|
||||
An extension loader library is the easiest and best way to access both OpenGL and
|
||||
OpenGL ES extensions and modern versions of the core OpenGL or OpenGL ES APIs.
|
||||
They will take care of all the details of declaring and loading everything you
|
||||
need. One such library is [glad](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad) and there are
|
||||
several others.
|
||||
|
||||
The following example will use glad but all extension loader libraries work
|
||||
similarly.
|
||||
|
||||
First you need to generate the source files using the glad Python script. This
|
||||
example generates a loader for any version of OpenGL, which is the default for
|
||||
both GLFW and glad, but loaders for OpenGL ES, as well as loaders for specific
|
||||
API versions and extension sets can be generated. The generated files are
|
||||
written to the `output` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
python main.py --generator c --no-loader --out-path output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `--no-loader` option is added because GLFW already provides a function for
|
||||
loading OpenGL and OpenGL ES function pointers, one that automatically uses the
|
||||
selected context creation API, and glad can call this instead of having to
|
||||
implement its own. There are several other command-line options as well. See
|
||||
the glad documentation for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Add the generated `output/src/glad.c`, `output/include/glad/glad.h` and
|
||||
`output/include/KHR/khrplatform.h` files to your build. Then you need to
|
||||
include the glad header file, which will replace the OpenGL header of your
|
||||
development environment. By including the glad header before the GLFW header,
|
||||
it suppresses the development environment's OpenGL or OpenGL ES header.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#include <glad/glad.h>
|
||||
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you need to initialize glad once you have a suitable current context.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "My Window", NULL, NULL);
|
||||
if (!window)
|
||||
{
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
|
||||
|
||||
gladLoadGLLoader((GLADloadproc) glfwGetProcAddress);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once glad has been loaded, you have access to all OpenGL core and extension
|
||||
functions supported by both the context you created and the glad loader you
|
||||
generated. After that, you are ready to start rendering.
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify a minimum required OpenGL or OpenGL ES version with
|
||||
[context hints](@ref window_hints_ctx). If your needs are more complex, you can
|
||||
check the actual OpenGL or OpenGL ES version with
|
||||
[context attributes](@ref window_attribs_ctx), or you can check whether
|
||||
a specific version is supported by the current context with the
|
||||
`GLAD_GL_VERSION_x_x` booleans.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
if (GLAD_GL_VERSION_3_2)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Call OpenGL 3.2+ specific code
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To check whether a specific extension is supported, use the `GLAD_GL_xxx`
|
||||
booleans.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
if (GLAD_GL_ARB_gl_spirv)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Use GL_ARB_gl_spirv
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Loading extensions manually {#context_glext_manual}
|
||||
|
||||
__Do not use this technique__ unless it is absolutely necessary. An
|
||||
[extension loader library](@ref context_glext_auto) will save you a ton of
|
||||
tedious, repetitive, error prone work.
|
||||
|
||||
To use a certain extension, you must first check whether the context supports
|
||||
that extension and then, if it introduces new functions, retrieve the pointers
|
||||
to those functions. GLFW provides @ref glfwExtensionSupported and @ref
|
||||
glfwGetProcAddress for manual loading of extensions and new API functions.
|
||||
|
||||
This section will demonstrate manual loading of OpenGL extensions. The loading
|
||||
of OpenGL ES extensions is identical except for the name of the extension header.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### The glext.h header {#context_glext_header}
|
||||
|
||||
The `glext.h` extension header is a continually updated file that defines the
|
||||
interfaces for all OpenGL extensions. The latest version of this can always be
|
||||
found at the [OpenGL Registry](https://www.opengl.org/registry/). There are also
|
||||
extension headers for the various versions of OpenGL ES at the
|
||||
[OpenGL ES Registry](https://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/). It it strongly
|
||||
recommended that you use your own copy of the extension header, as the one
|
||||
included in your development environment may be several years out of date and
|
||||
may not include the extensions you wish to use.
|
||||
|
||||
The header defines function pointer types for all functions of all extensions it
|
||||
supports. These have names like `PFNGLSPECIALIZESHADERARBPROC` (for
|
||||
`glSpecializeShaderARB`), i.e. the name is made uppercase and `PFN` (pointer
|
||||
to function) and `PROC` (procedure) are added to the ends.
|
||||
|
||||
To include the extension header, define @ref GLFW_INCLUDE_GLEXT before including
|
||||
the GLFW header.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#define GLFW_INCLUDE_GLEXT
|
||||
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Checking for extensions {#context_glext_string}
|
||||
|
||||
A given machine may not actually support the extension (it may have older
|
||||
drivers or a graphics card that lacks the necessary hardware features), so it
|
||||
is necessary to check at run-time whether the context supports the extension.
|
||||
This is done with @ref glfwExtensionSupported.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
if (glfwExtensionSupported("GL_ARB_gl_spirv"))
|
||||
{
|
||||
// The extension is supported by the current context
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The argument is a null terminated ASCII string with the extension name. If the
|
||||
extension is supported, @ref glfwExtensionSupported returns `GLFW_TRUE`,
|
||||
otherwise it returns `GLFW_FALSE`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Fetching function pointers {#context_glext_proc}
|
||||
|
||||
Many extensions, though not all, require the use of new OpenGL functions.
|
||||
These functions often do not have entry points in the client API libraries of
|
||||
your operating system, making it necessary to fetch them at run time. You can
|
||||
retrieve pointers to these functions with @ref glfwGetProcAddress.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
PFNGLSPECIALIZESHADERARBPROC pfnSpecializeShaderARB = glfwGetProcAddress("glSpecializeShaderARB");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In general, you should avoid giving the function pointer variables the (exact)
|
||||
same name as the function, as this may confuse your linker. Instead, you can
|
||||
use a different prefix, like above, or some other naming scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
Now that all the pieces have been introduced, here is what they might look like
|
||||
when used together.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#define GLFW_INCLUDE_GLEXT
|
||||
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
|
||||
|
||||
#define glSpecializeShaderARB pfnSpecializeShaderARB
|
||||
PFNGLSPECIALIZESHADERARBPROC pfnSpecializeShaderARB;
|
||||
|
||||
// Flag indicating whether the extension is supported
|
||||
int has_ARB_gl_spirv = 0;
|
||||
|
||||
void load_extensions(void)
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (glfwExtensionSupported("GL_ARB_gl_spirv"))
|
||||
{
|
||||
pfnSpecializeShaderARB = (PFNGLSPECIALIZESHADERARBPROC)
|
||||
glfwGetProcAddress("glSpecializeShaderARB");
|
||||
has_ARB_gl_spirv = 1;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
void some_function(void)
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (has_ARB_gl_spirv)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Now the extension function can be called as usual
|
||||
glSpecializeShaderARB(...);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
