Functions returning a value or array via an 'out' parameter will now get a convenience overload that returns the result via a return statement. In the case of arrays, only single-valued arrays will be supported. For example:
void GetIntegerv(enum pname, out int value)
will be get an overload of
int GetIntegerv(enum pname)
This will reduce the amount of helper overloads that must be maintained manually in GLHelpers.cs.
Sometimes an enum may reuse the tokens of another enum verbatim
(possibly adding a few extra tokens.) The reuse directive simplifies
the handling of this case:
<enum name="Foo">
<reuse enum="Bar" />
</enum>
It is now possible to define multiple overloads of the same function,
each with different parameters. This is extremely useful for
maintaining backwards compatibility in the face of the changes between
GL 4.3 and 4.4.
Sometimes elements in overrides.xml contain extra spaces due to typos,
which are quite difficult to track down. The XmlSpecReader can now
cope with that.
The registry reuses the "gles2" apiname for both OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0.
The generator will now use the apiversion attribute to distinguish
between the two APIs.
A Settings object is now passed directly as a parameter, in order to
support different configurations in the same process. The XmlSpecReader
can now distinguish between, and support both, pre-GL4.4 and post-GL4.4
specs.
Instead of hardcoding a list of extensions, extensions are now read
directly from the signatures.xml file. Acronyms for new texture
formats are now listed.
* EnumProcessor.cs:
* GL2/Generator.cs:
* FuncProcessor.cs: Fixed handling of overrides file: we now add
signatures as requested and reset the stream after we are done
reading the file.
