GLXWAITX(3G)

📦 version 1.1, in centos-stream 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

🦋 GLXWAITX(3G) — NAME 🦋

okay bestie, meet glXWaitX — complete X execution prior to subsequent GL calls. that's the name, that's the vibe, and yes it's giving “get your X stuff done before GL shows up”. ✨

✨ C SPECIFICATION ✨

void glXWaitX( void )

delim $$

that's the exact signature, plus the lil delim $$ troff moment the original left in there. no notes, just copy-paste realness. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie: X rendering calls made prior to glXWaitX are guaranteed to be executed before GL rendering calls made after glXWaitX. order is locked in, no cutting the line, no chaos. 💖

you could get the same result using XSync, but glXWaitX is built different: it does not require a round trip to the server. that means it's more efficient in cases where client and server are on separate machines. slay, honestly. ✨

and important, bestie: glXWaitX is ignored if there is no current GLX context. it literally just shrugs and moves on. 🙈

🎀 NOTES 🎀

glXWaitX may or may not flush the GL stream. that's the whole note. mysterious, lowkey iconic, no further comment. 💅

💀 ERRORS 💀

GLXBadCurrentWindow is generated if the drawable associated with the current context of the calling thread is a window, and that window is no longer valid. so if that window ghosted you, GLX said bad current window and meant it. 😭

bye bestie — the original footer is just GLXWAITX(), with no source/version/date drama included, so this is your cute sign-off: GLXWAITX() 💅✨🦋
