Vulkan/GL/GLES/EGL/GLX/WGL Loader-Generator based on the official specifications for multiple languages.
Check out the webservice for glad2 to generate the files you need!
NOTE: This is the 2.0 branch, which adds more functionality but changes the API.
Some languages are only available in the glad1 generator.
#include <glad/gl.h>
// GLFW (include after glad)
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
int main() {
// -- snip --
GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(WIDTH, HEIGHT, "LearnOpenGL", NULL, NULL);
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
int version = gladLoadGL(glfwGetProcAddress);
if (version == 0) {
printf("Failed to initialize OpenGL context\n");
return -1;
}
// Successfully loaded OpenGL
printf("Loaded OpenGL %d.%d\n", GLAD_VERSION_MAJOR(version), GLAD_VERSION_MINOR(version));
