<para>
|
|
<function>glXCopyContext</function> copies selected groups of state variables from <parameter>src</parameter> to <parameter>dst</parameter>.
|
|
<parameter>mask</parameter> indicates which groups of state variables are to be copied.
|
|
<parameter>mask</parameter> contains the bitwise OR of the same symbolic names that are
|
|
passed to the GL command <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPushAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
|
|
The single symbolic constant <constant>GLX_ALL_ATTRIB_BITS</constant> can be used to
|
|
copy the maximum possible portion of rendering state.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The copy can be done only if the renderers named by <parameter>src</parameter> and <parameter>dst</parameter>
|
|
share an address space.
|
|
Two rendering contexts share an address space if both are nondirect
|
|
using the same server,
|
|
or if both are direct and owned by a single process.
|
|
Note that in the nondirect case it is not necessary for the calling
|
|
threads to share an address space,
|
|
only for their related rendering contexts to share an address space.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Not all values for GL state can be copied.
|
|
For example,
|
|
pixel pack and unpack state,
|
|
render mode state,
|
|
and select and feedback state are not copied.
|
|
The state that can be copied is exactly the state that is manipulated
|
|
by the GL command
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPushAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
An implicit <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glFlush</refentrytitle></citerefentry> is done by <function>glXCopyContext</function> if <parameter>src</parameter> is the current
|
|
context for the calling thread.

A <emphasis>process</emphasis> is a single execution environment,
|
|
implemented in a single address space,
|
|
consisting of one or more threads.

</para>

<para>
|

A <emphasis>thread</emphasis> is one of a set of subprocesses that share
|
|
a single address space,
|
|
but maintain separate program counters,
|
|
stack spaces,
|
|
and other related global data.
|
|
A <emphasis>thread</emphasis> that is the only member of its subprocess group
|
|
is equivalent to a <emphasis>process</emphasis>.
