/**
 * Warning: this API is not stable yet.
 *
 * Overview
 * --------
 *
 * This API can be used to make mpv render into a foreign OpenGL context. It
 * can be used to handle video display. Be aware that using this API is not
 * required: you can embed the mpv window by setting the mpv "wid" option to
 * a native window handle (see "Embedding the video window" section in the
 * client.h header). In general, using the "wid" option is recommended over
 * the OpenGL API, because it's simpler and more flexible on the mpv side.
 *
 * The renderer needs to be explicitly initialized with mpv_opengl_cb_init_gl(),
 * and then video can be drawn with mpv_opengl_cb_render(). The user thread can
 * be notified by new frames with mpv_opengl_cb_set_update_callback().
 *
 * OpenGL interop
 * --------------
 *
 * This assumes the OpenGL context lives on a certain thread controlled by the
 * API user. The following functions require access to the OpenGL context:
 *      mpv_opengl_cb_init_gl
 *      mpv_opengl_cb_render
 *      mpv_opengl_cb_uninit_gl
 *
 * The OpenGL context is indirectly accessed through the OpenGL function
 * pointers returned by the get_proc_address callback in mpv_opengl_cb_init_gl.
 * Generally, mpv will not load the system OpenGL library when using this API.
 *
 * Only "desktop" OpenGL version 2.1 or later is supported. With OpenGL 2.1,
 * the GL_ARB_texture_rg is required. The renderer was written against
 * OpenGL 3.x core profile, with additional support for OpenGL 2.1.
 *
 * Note that some hardware decoding interop API (as set with the "hwdec" option)
 * may actually access
 *
 * 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 current viewport (can have/is set to an arbitrary value)
 *
 * 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.
 *
 * Threading
 * ---------
 *
 * The mpv_opengl_cb_* functions can be called from any thread, under the
 * following conditions:
 *  - only one of the mpv_opengl_cb_* functions can be called at the same time
 *    (unless they belong to different mpv_handles)
 *  - for functions which need an OpenGL context (see above) the OpenGL context
 *    must be "current" in the current thread, and it must be the same context
 *    as used with mpv_opengl_cb_init_gl()
 *  - never can be called from within the callbacks set with
 *    mpv_set_wakeup_callback() or mpv_opengl_cb_set_update_callback()
 *
 * Context and handle lifecycle
 * ----------------------------
 *
 * Video initialization will fail if the OpenGL context was not initialized yet
 * (with mpv_opengl_cb_init_gl()). Likewise, mpv_opengl_cb_uninit_gl() will
 * disable video.
 *
 * When the mpv core is destroyed (e.g. via mpv_terminate_destroy()), the OpenGL
 * context must have been uninitialized. If this doesn't happen, undefined
 * behavior will result.
