OpenGL Software Development Kit

Description

The logdebug installs a callback using glDebugMessageCallbackARB and reports any GL debug log messages to the bugle log.

Note that this will only be effective in a debug context. If your application does not already create a debug context, you can use the bugle-contextattribs(7) filter-set to achieve this.

The GL severities GL_DEBUG_SEVERITY_HIGH_ARB, GL_DEBUG_SEVERITY_MEDIUM_ARB and GL_DEBUG_SEVERITY_LOW_ARB are mapped to the log levels warning, notice and info, which allows lower-severity messages to be filtered out.

Options

Bugs

It is not recommended to use this filter-set with an application that uses the ARB_debug_output extension itself. Messages will be forwarded to the application's callback, but the filter-set will modify the set of messages that is enabled and this will be observable to the application. Enabling and disabling the filter-set on the fly may also have unexpected effects if the application changes the set of enabled messages.
