Native swapchain on Mac/GL with a custom layer

Open kvark opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

@mstange got a CA layer implemented for GL that manages and presents IOSurface objects. We could technically get this as a WSI layer on Mac/GL that has little friction with Vulkan API (unlike the regular GL framebuffer stuff).

@ZeGentzy any thoughts on that? Maybe you've already got this covered, I just don't know the current state of GL backend very well.

I got no familiarity with OSX. Know nothing about this.

I'm thinking of dropping macOS support from OpenGL completely, see #3468
