WAFFLE_GET_PROC_ADDR(3) Waffle Manual WAFFLE_GET_PROC_ADDR(3)

NAME

waffle_get_proc_address - Query address of OpenGL functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <waffle.h>
void* waffle_get_proc_address(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

waffle_get_proc_address()
On GLX, this redirects to glXGetProcAddress(3). On EGL, this redirects to eglGetProcAddress(3). On CGL, this function returns NULL because there exists no CGLGetProcAdress().
Some aspects of this function's behavior is platform-specific and non-intuitive. For example,
•If the queried function is not available, waffle_get_proc_address() may return a non-null pointer.
•If the queried function is statically exposed by the OpenGL library of a given API, then waffle_get_proc_address() may return a NULL.
For details on this function's behavior, see the specification for the relevant platform: the GLX 1.4 Specification[1] or the EGL 1.4 Specification[2].
