GLUTREPORTERRORS(3)

💖 GLUTREPORTERRORS(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the glutReportErrors page, part of the OpenGLUT manual, section 3. it's a whole vibe, i promise 🫶

---

✨ LIBRARY ✨

OpenGLUT — the opengl one, obviously 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like, here's how you summon it:

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutReportErrors(void);

no args, no drama, just vibes ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: OpenGL has been lowkey hoarding every error it ever threw at us, right? like a little gremlin keeping receipts 🙈 and glutReportErrors() is the function that goes "bestie. spill." 💅

what it does is it takes every single OpenGL error that OpenGL remembers giving to us and which we haven't processed yet, and it displays each one as an OpenGLUT warning. every last one. no cap. 🔥

and the way it does that? it uses gluErrorString(). iconic behavior honestly 🧚

⚠️ also important, bestie: this whole thing gets forcibly done by OpenGLUT periodically if "-gldebug" is one of the strings passed into glutInit() via rgv. not "if you feel like it", not "when you get around to it" — forcibly. OpenGLUT is doing it whether you asked or not, and that's the tea ☕
