SDL_GL_DestroyContext(3)

💅 SDL_GL_DestroyContext — from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS era 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the man pages, where we handle OpenGL contexts and we handle them correctly. today's main character is SDL_GL_DestroyContext, and yes she does exactly what it says on the tin.

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_GL_DestroyContext — delete an OpenGL context. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a closer, not a builder. 💀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_video.h>

bool SDL_GL_DestroyContext(SDL_GLContext context);

look at her. one argument. no drama. no cap. 🌸

---

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• context — the OpenGL context that is going bye-bye. the one getting deleted. hand her over and let her go, bestie. 🫶

---

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

returns true on success or false on failure. and if it fails? do not just sit there wondering, girl — call SDL_GetError() for more information. she'll tell you what went wrong, fr fr. 😭

---

🧚 THREAD SAFETY 🧚

⚠️ this function should only be called on the main thread.

read that again. main thread only. no side-quest threads, no sneaky background thread energy. main character only, periodt. 👑

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0. if you're on something older, she's not there yet, and no amount of manifesting will summon her. ✨

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• SDL_GL_CreateContext(3) — the one who makes the context. the origin story. the prequel. 🔥

and that's the whole page, bestie. go forth, destroy your contexts responsibly, and remember: you created her, so you close her. 💅
