eglCreatePlatform{Window,Pixmap}Surface documentation should mention EGL 1.5 dependency

RAOF opened this issue · comments

As far as I can tell these entry points are new in EGL 1.5 (folded in from the EGL_EXT_platform_base extension in 1.4). The eglGetPlatformDisplay correctly mention that it's new in 1.5, but neither the eglCreatePlatformWindowSurface nor eglCreatePlatformPixmapSurface docs do (instead they somewhat-misleadingly document some of their accepted parameter values as new in 1.5).

I can prepare a PR to update the docs if I've understood this correctly.

As I recall, yes, they were extension in EGL 1.4 and then with EGL 1.5 they were accepted as core API.
Yes, Please point out the inconsistent/misleading text for correction. thx.

Of course, the names of functions and tokens will change - dropping "EXT" or "KHR" when adopted into core.
