What is EGL EXT_multi_draw_buffers ?

[oddhack]

Someone emailed me to ask if I knew what the 'EXT_multi_draw_buffers' extension referred to from https://registry.khronos.org/EGL/extensions/EXT/EGL_EXT_multiview_window.txt was, which I do not, nor can find any references to in the EGL repos or in web search. Probably something that was proposed and never shipped. The contact on the multiview extension is an NVIDIA person who is apparently no longer there, so tentatively assigning to @pdaniell-nv, but anyone who knows please chime in. If we cannot find it then the reference should likely be removed.

@cubanismo - James usually handles the EGL related

I think it's intended to be EXT_multiview_draw_buffers.

I don't recall this. Its old, way back with Acorn. It would seem to be for supporting stereo view? or some special project with multiview. Says EXT, but seems only to have NVidia contributors. It is published in eglext.h.

This was before my time, but I think @nwnk is right.
