These are convenience parameters for function receiving a size and an
array parameter, like DeleteTextures(int n, int[] ids). The generator
will now add overloads taking a single parameter, such as
DeleteTexture(int id).
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.
We should only generate delegates for actual OpenGL entry points, not
for overloaded functions that resolve to the same entry point. This
improves loading speeds and reduces the size of the compiled dll.
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.
ISpecWriter implementations must now store explicit references to a
Settings object. Additionally, all code generation is now handled inside
the ISpecWriter implementation (it used to be scattered over all Type,
Parameter, etc classes resulting in unmaintainable spaghetti code.)
Improved ISpecWriter API by removing low-level implementation details.
Made Constant implement IComparable so it can be sorted before being written to output.
