/**
 * 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_draw(). 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_draw
 *      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 cores created by mpv_create())
 *  - 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.
 *
 * Hardware decoding
 * -----------------
 *
 * Hardware decoding via opengl_cb 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.)
 *
 * While "normal" mpv loads the OpenGL hardware decoding interop on demand,
 * this can't be done with opengl_cb for internal technical reasons. Instead,
 * make it load the interop at load time by setting the
 * "opengl-hwdec-interop"="auto" option before calling mpv_opengl_cb_init_gl()
 * ("hwdec-preload" in older mpv releases).
 *
 * 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: GLX is required (if you force "cuda", it should work on EGL
 *                 as well, if you have recent enough drivers and the
 *                 "hwaccel" option is set to "cuda" as well)
 * - 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.
 *
 * Special windowing system interop considerations
 * ------------------------------------------------
 *
 * In some cases, libmpv needs to have access to the windowing system's handles.
 * This can be a pointer to a X11 "Display" for example. Usually this is needed
 * only for hardware decoding.
 *
 * You can communicate these handles to libmpv by adding a pseudo-OpenGL
 * extension "GL_MP_MPGetNativeDisplay" to the additional extension string when
 * calling mpv_opengl_cb_init_gl(). The get_proc_address callback should resolve
 * a function named "glMPGetNativeDisplay", which has the signature:
 *
 *    void* GLAPIENTRY glMPGetNativeDisplay(const char* name)
 *
 * See below what names are defined. Usually, libmpv will use the native handle
 * up until mpv_opengl_cb_uninit_gl() is called. If the name is not anything
 * you know/expected, return NULL from the function.
 *
 * Windowing system interop on Intel/Linux with VAAPI
 * --------------------------------------------------
 *
 * The new VAAPI OpenGL interop requires an EGL context. EGL provides no way
 * to query the X11 Display associated to a specific EGL context, so this API
 * is used to pass it through.
 *
 * glMPGetNativeDisplay("x11") should return a X11 "Display*", which then will
 * be used to create the hardware decoder state.
 *
 * glMPGetNativeDisplay("wl") should return a Wayland "struct wl_display *".
 *
 * glMPGetNativeDisplay("drm") should return a DRM FD casted to intptr_t (note
 * that a 0 FD is not supported - if this can happen in your case, you must
 * dup2() it to a non-0 FD).
 *
 * nVidia/Linux via VDPAU requires GLX, which does not have this problem (the
 * GLX API can return the current X11 Display).
 *
 * Windowing system interop on MS win32
 * ------------------------------------
 *
 * You should use ANGLE, and make sure your application and libmpv are linked
 * to the same ANGLE DLLs. libmpv will pick the device context (needed for
 * hardware decoding) from the current ANGLE EGL context.
 *
 * Windowing system interop on RPI
 * -------------------------------
 *
 * The RPI uses no proper interop, but hardware overlays instead. To place the
 * overlay correctly, you can communicate the window parameters as follows to
 * libmpv. gl->MPGetNativeDisplay("MPV_RPI_WINDOW") return an array of type int
 * with the following 4 elements:
 *      0: display number (default 0)
 *      1: layer number of the GL layer - video will be placed in the layer
 *         directly below (default: 0)
 *      2: absolute x position of the GL context (default: 0)
 *      3: absolute y position of the GL context (default: 0)
 * The (x,y) position must be the absolute screen pixel position of the
 * top/left pixel of the dispmanx layer used for the GL context. If you render
 * to a FBO, the position must be that of the final position of the FBO
 * contents on screen. You can't transform or scale the video other than what
 * mpv will render to the video overlay. The defaults are suitable for
 * rendering the video at fullscreen.
 * The parameters are checked on every draw by calling MPGetNativeDisplay and
 * checking the values in the returned array for changes. The returned array
 * must remain valid until the libmpv render function returns; then it can be
 * deallocated by the API user.
