Description Ryan C. Gordon 2012-10-10 20:44:29 UTC 
OpenGL 3.0 added a glGetStringi() entry point that lets you get individual elements of a string. So you can iterate over glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i) to get each extension name individually, instead of parsing the whole whitespace-delimited string the usual way.

The OpenGL 3.2 Core Profile removed the usual way, so you have to use glGetStringi() with such a GL context.

Therefore SDL_GL_ExtensionSupported() will need to use this approach in the appropriate cases.


Example of the 3.0 method:

Ryan, can you take care of this for the SDL 2.0 release?  This is an important fix for anyone using the SDL API with a 3.2 core profile.
