 A [C++11][]/[OpenGL][]>=[1.0][] basics library.

+This library wraps up some common basic OpenGL functionality for convenience,

+including checking for supported OpenGL [version][]s and [extension][]s, basic

+image loading and saving, debugging helpers, error checking, and string

+helpers.

+

+## Usage

+

+### OpenGL loading library

+

+This library can be used with an arbitrary [OpenGL loading library][] by making

+sure `GLBASE_INCLUDE` is defined to the file to `#include`, e.g.

+`<glad/glad.h>` (either in the source or through a compiler switch, probably

+defined in the build system). Note that double quotes or angle brackets are

+required. The default if none is defined is `<GL/glew.h>`.

+

+If [CMake][] is used for building (see [Building][]), the `GLBASE_INCLUDE`

+CMake variable can be set to tell `glbase` to not use the default [GLEW][], and

+to set the corresponding define. In this case, the CMake variables

+`GLBASE_PACKAGES` and `GLBASE_TARGETS` can be used to set the packages and

+targets respectively to use for OpenGL and the loading library (either or both

+can be empty).

+[CMake]: https://cmake.org

+[Building]: #building

+[GLEW]: https://glew.sourceforge.net

+

+### Thread safety

+

+"Global" state (usually used to mirror some OpenGL [context][] internal state

+for performance) is declared [`thread_local`][] and initialized lazily. This

+means that a given thread may create at most one OpenGL context, and the

+`GLBase`-derived objects created while that context is current may be used only

+from that thread. Driver vendors recommend to not share OpenGL contexts between

+threads, for performance.

+

+The underlying mechanism used to retrieve system error messages may be thread

+unsafe. (`GLBase`-derived classes are encouraged to use

+`std::generic_category().message(errno)`, which often is, but is not required

+to be, thread safe, instead of [`std::strerror`][]`(errno)`, which is thread

+unsafe on most platforms).

+[`thread_local`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/keyword/thread_local

+[`std::strerror`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/byte/strerror

+

+### Conventions

+

+The following table summarizes the [naming convention][] used.

+

+| Category | Capitalization | Public | Protected  | Private    |

+| -------- | -------------- | ------ | ---------- | ---------- |

+| Type     | `PascalCase`   |        | `_` suffix | `_` suffix |

+| Function | `snake_case`   |        | `_` suffix | `_` suffix |

+| Variable | `snake_case`   | (none) | (none)     | `_` suffix |

+| Macro    | `MACRO_CASE`   | (few)  |            | `_` suffix |

+

+"Private" in this case includes things with [internal linkage][]. The [storage

+duration][] or whether members are bound to class instances or not does not

+affect naming. Parameters (including template parameters) are considered public

+even though their use obviously is constrained to a scope inaccessible to the

+outside user.

+

+As can be seen in the table, class member variables are always private and

+(either public or protected) access is provided by [Accessors][].

+`GLBase`-derived classes should prefer to use their own protected member

+functions over their private member variables.

+[storage duration]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/storage_duration#storage_duration

+[Accessors]: #accessors

+

+### Size

+

+`GLBase` is an [empty][] class and the [empty base optimization][] applies.

+

+[empty]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/is_empty

+[empty base optimization]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/ebo

+

+### Special member functions

+

+Both the constructor and the destructor are [`protected`][]. End users should

+use a `GLBase`-derived class to instantiate objects.

+

+Note that the destructor is not [`virtual`][]. `GLBase`-derived objects must

+not be destroyed through `GLBase` pointers.

+

+[`protected`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/keyword/protected

+[`virtual`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/virtual

+

+### Accessors

+

+Getter and setter functions share the same name and use function overloading to

+disambiguate. Getters (which can be run on `const` objects) take no argument

+and return the value (by `const` reference). Setters take a [forwarding

+reference][] argument and return the old value (by value, after move).

+

+Macros that aid in the implementation of (potentially "global" static thread

+local) getters and setters are defined. These should be used in the class

+definition. They define functions named `NAME`, which operate on a variable

+named `NAME##_`. The underlying variable is not declared automatically, this

+must be done manually (probably [`private`][]). The `ACCESS` variant defines

+both `GET` and `SET`.

+

+`GLBASE_{GET,SET,ACCESS}{,_GLOBAL}(TYPE, NAME)`

+

+Additionally, "global" static thread local member variables need to be defined

+in exactly one [translation unit][]. A macro to help with this is defined as

+well. Note that, since the definition is outside the class definition, the

+`NAME` needs to be qualified with the class name.

+

+`GLBASE_GLOBAL(NAME, INIT)`

+

+

+### Base

+

+`Version` is an alias for `std::array<GLint, 2>`.

+

+`bool static supported(Version version_min, std::string const & extension =

+{})` returns `true` if the current OpenGL [context][] implements the given, or

+a later (but see `version_max(...)` below), version or the given extension. If

+no version check is desired, provide `{}` (or, equivalently, `{0, 0}`). If no

+extension check is desired, provide an empty extension string (the default). If

+a non-empty `extension` is provided, it must start with `"GL_"`. If no check at

+all is performed, `false` is returned. Being able to check for both version and

+extension is convenient because extensions are often absorbed into newer

+versions of the OpenGL specification itself, and some platforms stop reporting

+support for the extension for those versions, so only checking if the extension

+is available fails. [History of OpenGL][] has a list of which versions of

+OpenGL absorbed which extensions. Since this library is agnostic to the used

+[OpenGL loading library][] (which is usually used to perform these kind of

+checks), the OpenGL API itself is queried. A new method of determining

+supported extensions was introduced in OpenGL [3.0][] and the old method

+deprecated and removed in OpenGL [3.1][]. This function uses the method

+appropriate for the current OpenGL [context][]. Note that no other checks are

+performed, including checks for a compatibility [profile][] [context][] or

+support for the [`ARB_compatibility`][] extension.

+

+`Version version_max({Version version_max})` gets/sets the maximum version for

+which `supported(...)` described above will return `true`. To disable this

+functionality, provide `{}` (or, equivalently, `{0, 0}`), which is the default

+value. Setting it to any other value also disables extension checking in

+`supported(...)`. This is useful for testing fallback code paths, regardless of

+the version present on a development machine (many platforms will provide a

+[context][] with a version higher than the one requested).

+

+`char const * static string(GLenum name)` and `char const * static

+string(GLenum name, GLuint index)` call [`glGetString`][] and

+[`glGetStringi`][] respectively with the given arguments and return the result,

+which obviates the need to cast the result (the OpenGL functions return

+`GLubyte const *`).

+

+`GLint static integer(GLenum name)` calls [`glGetIntegerv`][] with the given

+argument and returns the result, which obviates the need to declare a variable

+beforehand. Make sure to only use values of `name` that get a single integer.

+

+### Path

+

+`Path` is an alias for `std::string`.

+

+`Paths` is an alias for `std::vector<Path>`.

+

+`Path static path_prefix_(Path const & path, Path const & prefix)` returns

+`prefix` prepended to `path`, separated with a `/`, unless either

+

+1.  `prefix` is empty

+2.  `path` starts with a `/`

+

+in which case `path` is returned as is.

+

+### TGA

+

+A nested `GLBase::TGA_` class is provided to handle [Truevision TGA][] images

+in left-to-right, bottom-to-top, uncompressed [BGRA][] format. TGA was selected

+because it is widely supported and has a trivial header and data layout. It is

+also convenient because it has a pixel ordering compatible with the default

+[pixel transfer parameters][] and `GL_BGRA` is often preferred by graphics

+cards.

+

+`GLBase::TGA_` contains the following `static constexpr` member variables.

+

+-   `char const name[]`: `"TGA"`

+-   `GLint columns`: `1`

+-   `GLint rows`: `4`

+-   `GLenum glsl`: `GL_FLOAT_VEC4`

+-   `GLenum format`: `GL_BGRA`

+-   `GLenum type`: `GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE`

+-   `GLenum internal_format`: `GL_RGBA8`

+-   `GLenum internal_format_srgb`: `GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8`

+-   `GLenum internal_format_compressed`: `GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA`

+-   `GLenum internal_format_compressed_srgb`: `GL_COMPRESSED_SRGB_ALPHA`

+-   `GLenum id`: `glsl`

+

+(These are the same `static constexpr` member variables defined by

+[`GLTraits::Value`][].)

+

+`GLBase::TGA_` contains the following type definitions.

+

+-   `Size`. An alias for `std::array<GLsizei, 2>`.

+-   `Data`. An alias for `std::vector<GLubyte>`.

+

+`GLBase::TGA_` contains the following member functions.

+

+-   `explicit TGA_(Size size, Data data, Path const & path = {})`. Instantiates

+    a `TGA_` object with the given `size` and `data`. `path`, if given, is only

+    used for error reporting.

+-   `TGA_ static read(std::string const & path)`. Reads the file `path` into a

+    `TGA_` object.

+-   `void write(std::string const & path) const`. Writes the `TGA_` object to

+    the file `path`.

+-   `Size size() const`. Gets the size of the TGA image.

+-   `Data const & data() const`. Gets the data of the TGA image.

+

+### Exceptions

+

+All exceptions thrown are of the type `GLBase::Exception`, which inherits from

+[`std::runtime_error`][].

+

+[`std::runtime_error`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/runtime_error

+

+### Debug

+

+A dynamic debug facility is used instead of asserts mainly because it allows

+dynamic error messages and it is often desirable to turn on debugging only

+during a problematic part of an application run.

+

+`DebugCallback` is an alias for [`std::function`][]`<void (std::string const &

+message)>`. These functions may not [`throw`][] since they are called by

+OpenGL, which may not support throwing exceptions across its stack frames.

+

+`int static debug({int debug})` gets/sets the global debug level. When `>= 1`,

+potentially costly debug operations are performed as part of other operations.

+When `>= 2` notifications may be emitted. Defaults to `0`.

+

+`DebugCallback static debug_callback({DebugCallback debug_callback})` gets/sets

+a callback that may be called by `GLBase`-derived classes (typically through

+`debug_message(...)`, see below). Defaults to a function which outputs the

+`mesage` argument to [`std::cerr`][], appends a newline and flushes.

+

+`void static debug_message(std::string const & message)` calls the callback

+registered with `debug_callback(...)` with `message` as argument if the

+callback is not empty (i.e. set to `nullptr`).

+

+`void static debug_action_(std::string const & action, std::string const &

+name)` calls `debug_message(...)` with a string containing `action` and `name`.

+

+[`std::function`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/function

+[`throw`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/throw

+[`std::cerr`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/cerr

+

+### Check

+

+These functions throw an exception if some condition does not hold. It is

+recommended that `GLBase`-derived classes use similar helper functions, defined

+in an implementation file, to hide the string processing necessary to form a

+helpful exception message.

+

+`GLBase`-derived classes should treat error checking as free during

+construction and expensive data transfer operations. At all other times,

+non-critical error checking should only be performed if `debug() >= 1`.

+

+`void static check_supported(Version version_min, std::string const & extension

+= {})` checks that `supported(...)` returns `true` for the given arguments.

+

+`void static check_path_(std::string const & path)` checks that `path` is

+non-empty.

+

+`void static check_error_(GLenum error)` checks an error returned by

+[`glGetError`][].

+

+`void static check_type_(GLenum type, GLenum type_expected)` checks that `type`

+matches `type_expected`.

+

+`void static check_format_(GLenum format, GLenum format_expected)` checks that

+`format` matches `format_expected`.

+

+`void static check_internal_format_(GLenum internal_format)` checks that

+`internal_format` is supported.

+

+[`glGetError`]: https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL-Refpages/gl4/html/glGetError.xhtml

+

+### Fail

+

+These functions throw an exception and should be marked [`[[noreturn]]`][]. It

+is recommended that `GLBase`-derived classes use similar helper functions,

+defined in an implementation file, to hide the string processing necessary to

+form a helpful exception message.

+

+`[[noreturn]] void static fail_action_(std::string const & action, std::string

+const & name)` calls [`std::terminate`][] if called outside a [`catch`][]

+block. Otherwise, throws an exception with a message that includes `action` and

+`name` followed by `":\n"` and the [`what()`][] of the current exception if it

+is a (derives from) [`std::exception`][], otherwise simply rethrows the current

+exception.

+

+[`what()`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/exception/what

+[`std::exception`]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/exception

+

+### String

+

+`std::string static str_path_(Path const & path)` returns `path` surrounded by

+double quotes.

+

+`std::string static str_paths_(Paths const & paths)` returns `paths` surrounded

+by double quotes and joined with commas.

+

+`std::string static str_enum_(GLenum name)` returns the hexadecimal string

+representation of `name` (often used as fallback).

+

+`std::string static str_error_(GLenum error)` returns the string representation

+of values returned by [`glGetError`][].

+

+`std::string static str_object_type_(GLenum object_type)` returns the string

+representation of `object_type`.

+

+`std::string static str_glsl_(GLenum glsl)` returns the string representation

+of `glsl`.

+

+`std::string static str_format_(GLenum format)` returns the string

+representation of `format`.

+

+`std::string static str_type_(GLenum type)` returns the string representation

+of `type`.

+

+`std::string static str_internal_format_(GLenum internal_format)` returns the

+string representation of `internal_format`.

+

+## Texture compression formats

+

+This is here for reference only.

+

+Extension conventions are defined in [`GL_ARB_texture_compression`][]. Formats

+are described in the [Khronons Data Format Specification "Compressed Texture

+Image Formats"][] section.

+

+[Direct3D][] defines `BC*` texture "block" compression formats which

+correspond with some of the formats described below. See:

+

+-   [Direct3D 10 Texture Block Compression][]

+-   [Direct3D 11 Texture Block Compression][]

+

+A non-exhaustive list of compressed texture formats defined by OpenGL:

+

+-   **S3TC**

+    -   Support: Widely supported  since OpenGL 1.3 (2001) (the non-sRGB

+        version is considered an "[ubiquitous extension][]"). Not core because

+        of patents, which expired 2017. [Mesa][] support since 17.3 (2017).

+    -   Origin: Introduced by [S3 Graphics][]' [Savage 3D][] (1998) and

+        supported by [Nvidia][]'s more popular [GeForce 256][] (also known

+        as the "GeForce 1") (1999). (`DXT2` and `DXT4` are premultiplied alpha

+        formats and not supported by OpenGL.)

+    -   Formats:

+        -   `{RGB{,A},SRGB{,_ALPHA}}_S3TC_DXT1_EXT` (`BC1`). 6:1 compression

+            ratio. The alpha variants only have a single bit of alpha, and when

+            `A` is `0` RGB must all be `0` as well. Therefore, it is best to

+            use premultiplied alpha when using the alpha variants.

+        -   `{RGBA,SRGB_ALPHA}_S3TC_DXT3_EXT` (`BC2`). 4:1 compression ratio.

+            Stores *uncompressed* alpha separately. Not generally recommended.

+        -   `{RGBA,SRGB_ALPHA}_S3TC_DXT5_EXT` (`BC3`). 4:1 compression ratio.

+            Stores *compressed* alpha separately.

+-   VTC

+    -   Support: Not core. Only supported on Nvidia hardware.

+    -   Origin: Extension of S3TC to 3D ("volume") textures.

+    -   Formats: The same as S3TC, but interpreted differently for 3D textures.

+    -   References:

+        -   [`GL_NV_texture_compression_vtc`][]

+-   **RGTC**

+    -   Support: Core since OpenGL 3.0 (2008).

+    -   Origin: Uses a separate S3TC DXT5 alpha encoding for one or two

+        component red/green. Published at the same time as LATC.

+    -   Formats:

+        -   `{,SIGNED_}RED_RGTC1` (`BC4`). 2:1 compression ratio.

+        -   `{,SIGNED_}RG_RGTC2` (`BC5`). 2:1 compression ratio.

+        -   [Wikipedia][RGTC Wikipedia]

+-   LATC:

+    -   Support: Not core, no ARB extension. Luminance/alpha formats in general

+        have seen a decline since the introduction of the programmable

+        pipeline, which can use [swizzle][]s to achieve the same effect.

+    -   Origin: Uses a separate S3TC DXT5 alpha encoding for one or two

+        component luminance/alpha. Published at the same time as RGTC.

+    -   Formats:

+        -   `{,SIGNED_}LUMINANCE_LATC1_EXT`. 2:1 compression ratio.

+        -   `{,SIGNED_}LUMINANCE_ALPHA_LATC2_EXT`. 2:1 compression ratio.

+-   **BPTC**

+    -   Support: Core since OpenGL 4.2 (2011).

+    -   Origin: Block Partition texture compression.

+    -   Formats:

+        -   `RGB_BPTC_{UN,}SIGNED_FLOAT` (`BC6H`): 4:1 compression ratio.

+            Unsigned/signed 16-bit ("high dynamic range") float RGB.

+        -   `{RGBA,SRGB_ALPHA}_BPTC_UNORM` (`BC7`): 4:1 compression ratio.

+        -   [Wikipedia][BPTC Wikipedia]

+-   **ETC**

+    -   Support: Core since OpenGL 4.3 (2012). Desktop OpenGL does not support

+        ETC1, only ETC2. Images encoded as ETC1 can be read by an ETC2 decoder.

+    -   Origins: [Ericsson][]. EAC presumably stands for "Ericsson Alpha

+        Compression" and is used to compress one or two channels (much like

+        RGTC uses the alpha compression format of S3TC DX5).

+    -   Formats:

+        -   `{,S}RGB8{,_PUNCHTHROUGH_ALPHA1}_ETC2` 6:1 compression ratio.

+        -   `{RGBA8,SRGB8_ALPHA8}_ETC2_EAC`. 4:1 compression ratio.

+-   ASTC:

+    -   Support: Not core. The extension is written against OpenGL ES, and

+        there is no wide desktop support, at least for the HDR version.

+    -   Origin: [ARM][] and [AMD][]. Variable block ("adaptive scalable")

+        texture compression.

+    -   Formats:

+        -   `{RGBA,SRGB8_ALPHA8}_ASTC_{4x4,5x{4,5},6x{5,6},8x{5,6,8},10x{5,6,8,10},12x{10,12}}_KHR`

+            A large number of variables are encoded per block so e.g. the

+            number of channels, dynamic range, and compression ratio vary.
