This updates to a newer version of glad2 and switches to the header-only
variant.
This also (finally) switches to the newer glad2 loader signature that
allows us to pass in glfwGetInstanceProcAddress directly.
This removes all dependencies from the GLFW test programs on the Vulkan
SDK.
It also removes support for linking the GLFW shared library (dynamic
library, DLL) against the Vulkan loader static library.
This adds the GLFW_SCALE_TO_MONITOR window hint for automatically
resizing the content area of a window to the requested size times the
monitor content scale each time it is placed on a new monitor. This
only applies to windowed mode windows and includes the initial placement
at window creation.
This hint only has an effect on platforms where screen coordinates and
pixels always map 1:1 such as Windows and X11. Platforms like macOS
instead change the resolution of the framebuffer independently of the
window size.
Related to #676.
Related to #1115.
This moves the buttons-as-hats logic to shared code and adds the
GLFW_JOYSTICK_HAT_BUTTONS input mode as a way to disable this legacy
behavior.
Fixes#889.
Replaced the GLFW_SHOULD_CLOSE window parameter with the
glfwWindowShouldClose and glfwSetWindowShouldClose functions, allowing
the setting of the close flag from any point in the program.
The cached error code cannot be made per-thread unless it required
glfwInit (due to lack of __thread on OS X), which would be confusing and
partially defeats the purpose of it.
Beginners would use the generic error string facility instead of the
error callback and then be confused by its nondescript messages.
Storing the provided error code from within the error callback, whether
globally or per-thread, requires just a few lines of code and hands
control to the user without compromising thread safety.
