💖 NAME

glGenQueries — generate query object names. (Yep, bestie, this is manual 3G — we’re folding that in right here at the top ✨)

🧚 C SPECIFICATION

void glGenQueries(GLsizei n, GLuint * ids);

🎀 PARAMETERS

  • n — Specifies the number of query object names to be generated.
  • ids — Specifies an array in which the generated query object names are stored.

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so glGenQueries returns n query object names in ids. There is no guarantee that the names form a contiguous set of integers — like, they don’t have to be cute and consecutive. However, it is guaranteed that none of the returned names was in use immediately before the call to glGenQueries. no cap 💅

Query object names returned by a call to glGenQueries are not returned by subsequent calls, unless they are first deleted with glDeleteQueries(). so don’t expect the same names to come back around unless you actually delete them first, bestie.

No query objects are associated with the returned query object names until they are first used by calling glBeginQuery(). literally no object yet — just names chilling until then 🫶

💀 ERRORS

  • GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative. 🚨

🔥 ASSOCIATED GETS

glIsQuery()
