You cannot have thread-independent OpenGL states #29

Open perandersson opened 11 years ago

perandersson commented 11 years ago

OpenGL states are not thread local, which means that we cannot use the GfxProgram in more than one thread (the main thread).

Potential solutions:

  1. Use THREAD_LOCAL macro
  2. Each RenderContext returns a state, which can be used by the GfxProgram.

This issue is on hold until the need for when a GfxProgram is actually needed in multiple threads.
