+/**
+ * OpenGL backend
+ * --------------
+ *
+ * This header contains definitions for using OpenGL with the render.h API.
+ *
+ * OpenGL interop
+ * --------------
+ *
+ * The OpenGL backend has some special rules, because OpenGL itself uses
+ * implicit per-thread contexts, which causes additional API problems.
+ *
+ * This assumes the OpenGL context lives on a certain thread controlled by the
+ * API user. All mpv_render_* APIs have to be assumed to implicitly use the
+ * OpenGL context if you pass a mpv_render_context using the OpenGL backend,
+ * unless specified otherwise.
+ *
+ * The OpenGL context is indirectly accessed through the OpenGL function
+ * pointers returned by the get_proc_address callback in mpv_opengl_init_params.
+ * Generally, mpv will not load the system OpenGL library when using this API.
+ *
+ * OpenGL state
+ * ------------
+ *
+ * OpenGL has a large amount of implicit state. All the mpv functions mentioned
+ * above expect that the OpenGL state is reasonably set to OpenGL standard
+ * defaults. Likewise, mpv will attempt to leave the OpenGL context with
+ * standard defaults. The following state is excluded from this:
+ *
+ * - the glViewport state
+ * - the glScissor state (but GL_SCISSOR_TEST is in its default value)
+ * - glBlendFuncSeparate() state (but GL_BLEND is in its default value)
+ * - glClearColor() state
+ * - mpv may overwrite the callback set with glDebugMessageCallback()
+ * - mpv always disables GL_DITHER at init
+ *
+ * Messing with the state could be avoided by creating shared OpenGL contexts,
+ * but this is avoided for the sake of compatibility and interoperability.
+ *
+ * On OpenGL 2.1, mpv will strictly call functions like glGenTextures() to
+ * create OpenGL objects. You will have to do the same. This ensures that
+ * objects created by mpv and the API users don't clash. Also, legacy state
+ * must be either in its defaults, or not interfere with core state.
+ *
+ * API use
+ * -------
+ *
+ * The mpv_render_* API is used. That API supports multiple backends, and this
+ * section documents specifics for the OpenGL backend.
+ *
+ * Use mpv_render_context_create() with MPV_RENDER_PARAM_API_TYPE set to
+ * MPV_RENDER_API_TYPE_OPENGL, and MPV_RENDER_PARAM_OPENGL_INIT_PARAMS provided.
+ *
+ * Call mpv_render_context_render() with MPV_RENDER_PARAM_OPENGL_FBO to render
+ * the video frame to an FBO.
+ *
+ * Hardware decoding
+ * -----------------
+ *
+ * Hardware decoding via this API is fully supported, but requires some
+ * additional setup. (At least if direct hardware decoding modes are wanted,
+ * instead of copying back surface data from GPU to CPU RAM.)
+ *
+ * There may be certain requirements on the OpenGL implementation:
+ *
+ * - Windows: ANGLE is required (although in theory GL/DX interop could be used)
+ * - Intel/Linux: EGL is required, and also a glMPGetNativeDisplay() callback
+ * must be provided (see sections below)
+ * - nVidia/Linux: Both GLX and EGL should work (GLX is required if vdpau is
+ * used, e.g. due to old drivers.)
+ * - OSX: CGL is required (CGLGetCurrentContext() returning non-NULL)
+ * - iOS: EAGL is required (EAGLContext.currentContext returning non-nil)
+ *
+ * Once these things are setup, hardware decoding can be enabled/disabled at
+ * any time by setting the "hwdec" property.
