waffle – a library for selecting an OpenGL API and window system at runtime
Synopsis
#include <waffle.h>
Link with -lwaffle-1.Description
Waffle is a cross-platform library that allows one to defer selection of an OpenGL API and of window system until runtime. For example, on Linux, Waffle enables an application to select X11/EGL with an OpenGL 3.3 core profile, Wayland with OpenGL ES2, and other window system / API combinations.
Waffle’s immediate goal is to enable m[blue]Piglitm[][1], m[blue]Mesam[][2]‘s OpenGL test suite, to test multiple OpenGL flavors in a cross-platform way, and to allow each Piglit test to choose its OpenGL API and window system at runtime. A future goal is to enable the ability to record, with another tool such as m[blue]APITracem[][3], an application’s OpenGL calls on one operating system or window system, and then replay that trace on a different system.
