SDL_GL_GetProcAddress

Use this function to get the address of an OpenGL function.

Syntax

void* SDL_GL_GetProcAddress(const char* proc)

Function Parameters

proc

a pointer to an OpenGL function

Return Value

*
Returns the address of the GL function proc, or NULL if the function is not found.
*

green

Code Examples

*

typedef void (APIENTRY * GL_ActiveTextureARB_Func)(unsigned int);
GL_ActiveTextureARB_Func glActiveTextureARB_ptr = 0;
int has_multitexture=1;
.
.
.
/* Get function pointer */
glActiveTextureARB_ptr=(GL_ActiveTextureARB_Func) SDL_GL_GetProcAddress("glActiveTextureARB");

/* Check for a valid function ptr */
if(!glActiveTextureARB_ptr){
  fprintf(stderr, "Multitexture Extensions not present.\n");
  has_multitexture=0;
}
.
.
.
.
if(has_multitexture){
  glActiveTextureARB_ptr(GL_TEXTURE0_ARB);
  .
  .
}
else{
  .
  .
}

Remarks

*
If the GL library is loaded at runtime with SDL_GL_LoadLibrary(), then all GL functions must be retrieved this way. Usually this is used to retrieve function pointers to OpenGL extensions. Note that this function needs an OpenGL context to function work properly, so it should be called after [[SDL_SetVideoMode]]() has been called (with the SDL_OPENGL flag) initializing the video driver.

green

OpenGL function pointers must be declared APIENTRY as in the example code. This will ensure the proper calling convention is followed on platforms where this matters (Win32) thereby avoiding stack corruption. In a Win32 build environment, APIENTRY should be defined as __stdcall.
