    OpenGL ES Extension #??

Dependencies

    OpenGL ES 2.0 is required.

    This extension is written against the wording of the OpenGL ES
    3.2 specification.

    Interacts with GL_KHR_debug, GL_EXT_disjoint_timer_queries,
    GL_KHR_robustness.

Overview

    This extension adds overloads of many OpenGL ES functions that read from
    and write to client memory to ensure that all reads and writes done by the
    OpenGL ES implementation are safe.  When the OpenGL ES API is exposed to
    users through complex bindings such as WebGL, allowing undefined behaviour
    that may result in crashing the implementation is not acceptable.

Additions to the OpenGL ES Specification:

    The xRobustANGLE entry points perform additional validation using <bufSize>
    to indicate the maximum number of values that can be read from or written
    to the provided buffer.  INVALID_OPERATION is generated if <bufSize> is not
    large enough.  The optional <length> specifies an address of a variable to
    recieve the number of values written to the buffer.  When an error is
    generated nothing will be written to <length>.

    Calls to "xRobustANGLE" will generate errors under the same conditions as
    "x". Any instances of undefined behaviour in "x" will also be undefined in
    "xRobustANGLE".  For example, it is invalid to call
    GetPointervRobustANGLERobustANGLE without first verifying that the context
    is at least OpenGL ES version 3.2 or the GL_KHR_debug extension is present.

Issues

    1) Should additional entry points be added to specify sizes of client side
       data provided to the VertexAttribPointer functions?

    2) Should <length> be allowed to be null?

       RESOLVED: Yes, <length> will not be written to when it is a null
       pointer.

    3) Should <bufSize> be specified in bytes or values (uint, int, float,
       etc)?

       There is no consistancy in current entry points for this.  For example,
       glGetnUniformuiv indicates that bufSize is in bytes while GetSynciv
       uses values despite GetnUniformuiv having a clear value type.

       RESOLOVED: <bufSize> always indicates size in values. Functions that
       specify data by void* such as TexImage2DRobustANGLE treat the client
       data as bytes.

    4) Should <length> be written to if an error is generated?

       RESOLVED: No, using the prescedent set by glGetSynciv.
