| | 4 | Although there are is no standardised linux ABI for GL|ES, there is |
| | 5 | a “strongly encouraged” set of standard headers, type and linkage definitions |
| | 6 | supplied by the Khronos group[1]. The mesa implementation provides this ABI. |
| | 7 | Any non-mesa implementation that wants to provide these packages should |
| | 8 | conform to the Khronos group's de-facto ABI. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | The case of EGL is similar; Khronos again supplies a de-facto linux ABI. |
| | 11 | The EGL ABI is necessarily tied to the native windowing system by the |
| | 12 | eglNativeDisplayType, eglNativeWindowType, and eglNativePixmapType typedefs. |
| | 13 | The EGL virtual package therefore includes the name of the x11 windowing |
| | 14 | system to leave room should further windowing ABIs be standardised. |
