|
|
<para>
|
|
<function>glXImportContextEXT</function> creates a GLXContext given the XID of an existing GLXContext.
|
|
It may be used in place of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glXCreateContext</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
to share another process's indirect rendering context.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Only the server-side context information can be shared between
|
|
X clients; client-side state, such as pixel storage modes,
|
|
cannot be shared. Thus, <function>glXImportContextEXT</function> must allocate memory to store
|
|
client-side information. This memory is freed by calling
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glXFreeContextEXT</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This call does not create a new XID. It merely makes an
|
|
existing object available to the importing client (Display *).
|
|
Like any XID, it goes away when the creating client drops its
|
|
connection or the ID is explicitly deleted. Note that this is
|
|
when the XID goes away. The object goes away when the XID
|
|
goes away AND the context is not current to any thread.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If <parameter>contextID</parameter> refers to a
|
|
direct rendering context then no error is generated but
|
|
<function>glXImportContextEXT</function> returns NULL.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<function>glXImportContextEXT</function> is part of the <code>EXT_import_context</code> extension,
|
|
not part of the core GLX command set. If _glxextstring(EXT_import_context)
|
|
is included in the string returned by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glXQueryExtensionsString</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
when called with argument <constant>GLX_EXTENSIONS</constant>,
|
|
extension <code>EXT_import_context</code> is supported.
