Certain OpenGL +implementations restrict sharing in certain ways. Applications should +assume that sharing is a request more than an assertion. +Implementations of this specification should, but are not required to, +provide timely notification of a failure of a request to share objects +between two GLContexts, perhaps in the form of a GLException. The +situation in which sharing is most likely to work on all platforms is +between two GLContexts associated with the same GLDrawable. + <h3>Criteria Used for Inclusion of APIs into the Java Bindings</h3> <h4>OpenGL API Inclusion Criteria</h4> |
