typedef void*(* GLFWallocatefun) (size_t size, void *user) |
The function pointer type for memory allocation callbacks.
This is the function pointer type for memory allocation callbacks. A memory allocation callback function has the following signature:
This function must return either a memory block at least size
bytes long, or NULL
if allocation failed. Note that not all parts of GLFW handle allocation failures gracefully yet.
This function must support being called during glfwInit but before the library is flagged as initialized, as well as during glfwTerminate after the library is no longer flagged as initialized.
Any memory allocated via this function will be deallocated via the same allocator during library termination or earlier.
Any memory allocated via this function must be suitably aligned for any object type. If you are using C99 or earlier, this alignment is platform-dependent but will be the same as what malloc
provides. If you are using C11 or later, this is the value of alignof(max_align_t)
.
The size will always be greater than zero. Allocations of size zero are filtered out before reaching the custom allocator.
If this function returns NULL
, GLFW will emit GLFW_OUT_OF_MEMORY.
This function must not call any GLFW function.
[in] | size | The minimum size, in bytes, of the memory block. |
[in] | user | The user-defined pointer from the allocator. |
NULL
if an error occurred.The returned memory block must be valid at least until it is deallocated.
This function should not call any GLFW function.
This function must support being called from any thread that calls GLFW functions.
typedef struct GLFWallocator GLFWallocator |
Custom heap memory allocator.
This describes a custom heap memory allocator for GLFW. To set an allocator, pass it to glfwInitAllocator before initializing the library.
typedef void(* GLFWdeallocatefun) (void *block, void *user) |
The function pointer type for memory deallocation callbacks.
This is the function pointer type for memory deallocation callbacks. A memory deallocation callback function has the following signature:
This function may deallocate the specified memory block. This memory block will have been allocated with the same allocator.
This function must support being called during glfwInit but before the library is flagged as initialized, as well as during glfwTerminate after the library is no longer flagged as initialized.
The block address will never be NULL
. Deallocations of NULL
are filtered out before reaching the custom allocator.
If this function returns NULL
, GLFW will emit GLFW_OUT_OF_MEMORY.
This function must not call any GLFW function.
[in] | block | The address of the memory block to deallocate. |
[in] | user | The user-defined pointer from the allocator. |
The specified memory block will not be accessed by GLFW after this function is called.
This function should not call any GLFW function.
This function must support being called from any thread that calls GLFW functions.
typedef void(* GLFWerrorfun) (int error_code, const char *description) |
The function pointer type for error callbacks.
This is the function pointer type for error callbacks. An error callback function has the following signature:
[in] | error_code | An error code. Future releases may add more error codes. |
[in] | description | A UTF-8 encoded string describing the error. |
The error description string is valid until the callback function returns.
typedef void(* GLFWerrorfun) (int error_code, const char *description) |
The function pointer type for error callbacks.
This is the function pointer type for error callbacks. An error callback function has the following signature:
[in] | error_code | An error code. Future releases may add more error codes. |
[in] | description | A UTF-8 encoded string describing the error. |
The error description string is valid until the callback function returns.
typedef void*(* GLFWreallocatefun) (void *block, size_t size, void *user) |
The function pointer type for memory reallocation callbacks.
This is the function pointer type for memory reallocation callbacks. A memory reallocation callback function has the following signature:
This function must return a memory block at least size
bytes long, or NULL
if allocation failed. Note that not all parts of GLFW handle allocation failures gracefully yet.
This function must support being called during glfwInit but before the library is flagged as initialized, as well as during glfwTerminate after the library is no longer flagged as initialized.
Any memory allocated via this function will be deallocated via the same allocator during library termination or earlier.
Any memory allocated via this function must be suitably aligned for any object type. If you are using C99 or earlier, this alignment is platform-dependent but will be the same as what realloc
provides. If you are using C11 or later, this is the value of alignof(max_align_t)
.
The block address will never be NULL
and the size will always be greater than zero. Reallocations of a block to size zero are converted into deallocations before reaching the custom allocator. Reallocations of NULL
to a non-zero size are converted into regular allocations before reaching the custom allocator.
If this function returns NULL
, GLFW will emit GLFW_OUT_OF_MEMORY.
This function must not call any GLFW function.
[in] | block | The address of the memory block to reallocate. |
[in] | size | The new minimum size, in bytes, of the memory block. |
[in] | user | The user-defined pointer from the allocator. |
NULL
if an error occurred.The returned memory block must be valid at least until it is deallocated.
This function should not call any GLFW function.
This function must support being called from any thread that calls GLFW functions.
GLFWAPI int glfwGetError | ( | const char ** | description | ) |
Returns and clears the last error for the calling thread.
This function returns and clears the error code of the last error that occurred on the calling thread, and optionally a UTF-8 encoded human-readable description of it. If no error has occurred since the last call, it returns GLFW_NO_ERROR (zero) and the description pointer is set to NULL
.
[in] | description | Where to store the error description pointer, or NULL . |
None.
The returned string is allocated and freed by GLFW. You should not free it yourself. It is guaranteed to be valid only until the next error occurs or the library is terminated.
This function may be called from any thread.
GLFWAPI int glfwGetPlatform | ( | void | ) |
Returns the currently selected platform.
This function returns the platform that was selected during initialization. The returned value will be one of GLFW_PLATFORM_WIN32
, GLFW_PLATFORM_COCOA
, GLFW_PLATFORM_WAYLAND
, GLFW_PLATFORM_X11
or GLFW_PLATFORM_NULL
.
Possible errors include GLFW_NOT_INITIALIZED.
This function may be called from any thread.
GLFWAPI void glfwGetVersion | ( | int * | major, |
int * | minor, | ||
int * | rev | ||
) |
Retrieves the version of the GLFW library.
This function retrieves the major, minor and revision numbers of the GLFW library. It is intended for when you are using GLFW as a shared library and want to ensure that you are using the minimum required version.
Any or all of the version arguments may be NULL
.
[out] | major | Where to store the major version number, or NULL . |
[out] | minor | Where to store the minor version number, or NULL . |
[out] | rev | Where to store the revision number, or NULL . |
None.
This function may be called from any thread.
GLFWAPI const char * glfwGetVersionString | ( | void | ) |
Returns a string describing the compile-time configuration.
This function returns the compile-time generated version string of the GLFW library binary. It describes the version, platform, compiler and any platform-specific compile-time options. It should not be confused with the OpenGL or OpenGL ES version string, queried with glGetString
.
Do not use the version string to parse the GLFW library version. The glfwGetVersion function provides the version of the running library binary in numerical format.
None.
The returned string is static and compile-time generated.
This function may be called from any thread.
This function returns the compile-time generated version string of the GLFW library binary. It describes the version, platforms, compiler and any platform or operating system specific compile-time options. It should not be confused with the OpenGL or OpenGL ES version string, queried with glGetString
.
Do not use the version string to parse the GLFW library version. The glfwGetVersion function provides the version of the running library binary in numerical format.
Do not use the version string to parse what platforms are supported. The glfwPlatformSupported function lets you query platform support.
None.
The returned string is static and compile-time generated.
This function may be called from any thread.
GLFWAPI int glfwInit | ( | void | ) |
Initializes the GLFW library.
This function initializes the GLFW library. Before most GLFW functions can be used, GLFW must be initialized, and before an application terminates GLFW should be terminated in order to free any resources allocated during or after initialization.
If this function fails, it calls glfwTerminate before returning. If it succeeds, you should call glfwTerminate before the application exits.
Additional calls to this function after successful initialization but before termination will return GLFW_TRUE
immediately.
GLFW_TRUE
if successful, or GLFW_FALSE
if an error occurred.Possible errors include GLFW_PLATFORM_ERROR.
Contents/Resources
subdirectory of the application's bundle, if present. This can be disabled with the GLFW_COCOA_CHDIR_RESOURCES init hint.LC_CTYPE
category of the application locale according to the current environment if that category is still "C". This is because the "C" locale breaks Unicode text input.This function must only be called from the main thread.
This function initializes the GLFW library. Before most GLFW functions can be used, GLFW must be initialized, and before an application terminates GLFW should be terminated in order to free any resources allocated during or after initialization.
If this function fails, it calls glfwTerminate before returning. If it succeeds, you should call glfwTerminate before the application exits.
Additional calls to this function after successful initialization but before termination will return GLFW_TRUE
immediately.
The GLFW_PLATFORM init hint controls which platforms are considered during initialization. This also depends on which platforms the library was compiled to support.
GLFW_TRUE
if successful, or GLFW_FALSE
if an error occurred.Possible errors include GLFW_PLATFORM_UNAVAILABLE and GLFW_PLATFORM_ERROR.
Contents/Resources
subdirectory of the application's bundle, if present. This can be disabled with the GLFW_COCOA_CHDIR_RESOURCES init hint.MainMenu.nib
it is loaded and assumed to contain a menu bar. Otherwise a minimal menu bar is created manually with common commands like Hide, Quit and About. The About entry opens a minimal about dialog with information from the application's bundle. The menu bar and dock icon can be disabled entirely with the GLFW_COCOA_MENUBAR init hint.GLFW_ANY_PLATFORM
, the XDG_SESSION_TYPE
environment variable affects which platform is picked. If the environment variable is not set, or is set to something other than wayland
or x11
, the regular detection mechanism will be used instead.LC_CTYPE
category of the application locale according to the current environment if that category is still "C". This is because the "C" locale breaks Unicode text input.This function must only be called from the main thread.
GLFWAPI void glfwInitAllocator | ( | const GLFWallocator * | allocator | ) |
Sets the init allocator to the desired value.
To use the default allocator, call this function with a NULL
argument.
If you specify an allocator struct, every member must be a valid function pointer. If any member is NULL
, this function will emit GLFW_INVALID_VALUE and the init allocator will be unchanged.
The functions in the allocator must fulfil a number of requirements. See the documentation for GLFWallocatefun, GLFWreallocatefun and GLFWdeallocatefun for details.
[in] | allocator | The allocator to use at the next initialization, or NULL to use the default one. |
Possible errors include GLFW_INVALID_VALUE.
The specified allocator is copied before this function returns.
This function must only be called from the main thread.
GLFWAPI void glfwInitHint | ( | int | hint, |
int | value | ||
) |
Sets the specified init hint to the desired value.
This function sets hints for the next initialization of GLFW.
The values you set hints to are never reset by GLFW, but they only take effect during initialization. Once GLFW has been initialized, any values you set will be ignored until the library is terminated and initialized again.
Some hints are platform specific. These may be set on any platform but they will only affect their specific platform. Other platforms will ignore them. Setting these hints requires no platform specific headers or functions.
[in] | hint | The init hint to set. |
[in] | value | The new value of the init hint. |
Possible errors include GLFW_INVALID_ENUM and GLFW_INVALID_VALUE.
This function must only be called from the main thread.
GLFWAPI int glfwPlatformSupported | ( | int | platform | ) |
Returns whether the library includes support for the specified platform.
This function returns whether the library was compiled with support for the specified platform. The platform must be one of GLFW_PLATFORM_WIN32
, GLFW_PLATFORM_COCOA
, GLFW_PLATFORM_WAYLAND
, GLFW_PLATFORM_X11
or GLFW_PLATFORM_NULL
.
[in] | platform | The platform to query. |
GLFW_TRUE
if the platform is supported, or GLFW_FALSE
otherwise.Possible errors include GLFW_INVALID_ENUM.
This function may be called from any thread.
GLFWAPI GLFWerrorfun glfwSetErrorCallback | ( | GLFWerrorfun | callback | ) |
Sets the error callback.
This function sets the error callback, which is called with an error code and a human-readable description each time a GLFW error occurs.
The error code is set before the callback is called. Calling glfwGetError from the error callback will return the same value as the error code argument.
The error callback is called on the thread where the error occurred. If you are using GLFW from multiple threads, your error callback needs to be written accordingly.
Because the description string may have been generated specifically for that error, it is not guaranteed to be valid after the callback has returned. If you wish to use it after the callback returns, you need to make a copy.
Once set, the error callback remains set even after the library has been terminated.
[in] | callback | The new callback, or NULL to remove the currently set callback. |
NULL
if no callback was set.For more information about the callback parameters, see the callback pointer type.
None.
This function must only be called from the main thread.
GLFWAPI void glfwTerminate | ( | void | ) |
Terminates the GLFW library.
This function destroys all remaining windows and cursors, restores any modified gamma ramps and frees any other allocated resources. Once this function is called, you must again call glfwInit successfully before you will be able to use most GLFW functions.
If GLFW has been successfully initialized, this function should be called before the application exits. If initialization fails, there is no need to call this function, as it is called by glfwInit before it returns failure.
This function has no effect if GLFW is not initialized.
Possible errors include GLFW_PLATFORM_ERROR.
This function must not be called from a callback.
This function must only be called from the main thread.
