Re: AGL documentation

Um, I could use some clarification on this matter.

First of all, when you say AGL_TARGET_OS_MAC_OSX is deprecated, do you actually mean the need to make the call aglConfigure(AGL_TARGET_OS_MAC_OSX,GL_TRUE); in Carbon/Mach-O code is deprecated, and no longer necessary (or even possible)?

Second, I can't find whether a bug has been filed or not, but the "current" Carbon Porting Guide on developer.apple.com still explicitly says this call IS necessary for Carbon/Mach-O code using aglMacro.h, so if it isn't, somebody needs to fix that doc to avoid causing folks grief. Does a separate bug need to be filed against that document to get it modified?

Third, can I get a clarification on when (e.g. what versions of Carbon library, etc.) it became deprecated? Is it no longer needed for _any_ such code, or just not needed for code using the latest Carbon libs and/or developer tools? In other words, can porters just wholesale remove the call to aglConfigure() in their code, or do we still need to have it for certain older versions of the Carbon lib or AGL.Framework?

Thanks for any info you can provide on this, it was a bit murky precisely what you meant, and what code is impacted by the change.

As John says this has been depreciated. This is an omission in the docs, go ahead and write a bug if you would. Just for reference the latest docs are at <http://developer.apple.com/opengl> in the CFM SDK. We are working on more updated docs, due out shortly.

I have installed the August 2002 Dev Tools update and am browsing
the AGL documentation for Carbon: I came across the AGL_TARGET_OS_MAC_OSX
option for aglConfigure() which I'd never seen before and wanted to know
what exactly it's supposed to do... However, said constant is missing
from /Developer/Documentation/Carbon/graphics/OpenGL/OpenGL/index.html and
most of the AGL functions are listed as "unsupported" in Carbon...
what gives?!?
