💖 WAFFLE_IS_EXTENSION_(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Waffle Manual and it's literally about one tiny lil function that does a vibe check on extension strings. sit with me, it's a short one 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

waffle_is_extension_in_string — check if a name appears in an OpenGL-style extension string 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <waffle.h>

bool waffle_is_extension_in_string(const char * extension_string,
                                   const char * extension_name);

like. two const char *s and a bool. that's the whole thing. no cap 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

waffle_is_extension_in_string() — it checks if an extension name shows up inside an OpenGL-style extension string. that's the entire job. no drama, no notes 💖

the extension_string must be in the format that glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) returns. but here's the cute part — this function is not restricted to the OpenGL extension string, so you can also use it on the WGL, GLX and EGL extension strings. versatile queen 👑

also! and this is the slay of it all: this function can be called before waffle has been successfully initialized with waffle_init(3). she does not need to wait for anyone. main character energy, honestly ⭐

😭 ERRORS 😭

this function sets the error code to WAFFLE_NO_ERROR. so like, the error channel is having a great day. it's giving peaceful 🌈
