Most GLFW functions must only be called from the main thread, but some may be
|
||||
called from any thread. However, no GLFW function may be called from any thread
|
||||
but the main thread until GLFW has been successfully initialized, including
|
||||
functions that may called before initialization.
|
||||
Most GLFW functions must only be called from the main thread (the thread that
|
||||
calls main), but some may be called from any thread once the library has been
|
||||
initialized. Before initialization the whole library is thread-unsafe.
|
||||
|
||||
The reference documentation for every GLFW function states whether it is limited
|
||||
to the main thread.
|

|

Initialization and termination, event processing and the creation and
|

destruction of windows, contexts and cursors are all limited to the main thread
|

due to limitations of one or several platforms.
|

Initialization, termination, event processing and the creation and
|
||||
destruction of windows, cursors and OpenGL and OpenGL ES contexts are all
|
||||
restricted to the main thread due to limitations of one or several platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Because event processing must be performed on the main thread, all callbacks
|
||||
except for the error callback will only be called on that thread. The error

callback may be called on any thread, as any GLFW function may generate errors.
