Version 2, October 4, 2019
Number
OpenGL ES Extension #??
Dependencies
Requires OpenGL ES 2.0
Written against the OpenGL ES 3.0 specification.
Overview
This extension allows the client to query extensions that can be enabled and
explicitly request that an extension be enabled or disabled.
New Procedures and Functions
void RequestExtension(const char *name)
void DisableExtension(const char *name)
New Tokens
Accepted by the <name> parameter of GetString and GetStringi:
REQUESTABLE_EXTENSIONS_ANGLE 0x93A8
Accepted by the <value> parameter of the GetInteger* functions:
NUM_REQUESTABLE_EXTENSIONS_ANGLE 0x93A9
Additions to the OpenGL ES 3.0 Specification
Add the following paragraph to the end paragraph 4 of section 6.1.6, String
Queries:
"REQUESTABLE_EXTENSIONS_ANGLE returns a list of extensions that can be
enabled at runtime by calling RequestExtension."
Change the following section of paragraph 6 of section 6.1.6, String Queries:
- "name may only be EXTENSIONS, indicating that the extension name
- corresponding to the indexth supported extension should be returned.
- <index> may range from zero to the value of NUM_EXTENSIONS minus one"
+ "name may be EXTENSIONS or REQUESTABLE_EXTENSIONS_ANGLE, indicating that
+ the extension name corresponding to the indexth supported or requestable
+ extension should be returned. <index> may range from zero to the value of
+ NUM_EXTENSIONS and NUM_REQUESTABLE_EXTENSIONS_ANGLE minus one"
The commands
void RequestExtension(const char *name)
void DisableExtension(const char *name)
enable or disable the requestable OpenGL ES extension named <name>. If the
requested extension was not requestable or disablable, INVALID_OPERATION is
generated. Not all requestable extensions can be disabled. There is
currently no query for disablable extensions.
New State
Add to Table 6.30 (Implementation Dependent Version and Extension Support)

Interactions with the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification:
Remove all references to GetStringi and NUM_REQUESTABLE_EXTENSIONS_ANGLE.
Issues
(1) How can the user determine which extensions can be enabled without
potentially generating errors?
This can be solved by:
a) Never generate an error in EnableExtensions, simply return false when
the extension is not recognized or cannot be enabled.
b) Add another query for the extensions that the context supports
enabling.
RESOLVED: Use (b) because it allows the context to explicity advertise
which extensions support enabling and doesn't generate errors in the
normal use case.
