Which loader is better GLEW or GLAD?

[Lincoln Powell]

DirectX

[Brody Butler]

wew lad

[Thomas Rogers]

fpbp

/thread

[Logan Jones]

but it's not cross-platform

[Eli James]

Who fucking cares.

[Angel Nguyen]

GLAD is more simple, smaller, and don't have stupid errors glew has.

the only reason why you find a lot of tutorials using glew is because is older than GLAD. But replacing glew with GLAD is goddamn simple

[Jayden Johnson]

I see a lack of shitposts

GLFW

[Lincoln Peterson]

GLAD nowadays but either is fine

Not cross platform
Devs who want to make more money

[Oliver Hernandez]

>GLFW

That's not even an actual loader its just a window utility.
You can use the glfwLoadProcs() function but loading functions isn't the focus of GLFW.

[Cameron Barnes]

>glfwLoadProcs
*glfwGetProcAddress

[Jonathan Jenkins]

How do you even use GLAD?

[Samuel Johnson]

Sdl

[Oliver Young]

>github.com/google/vulkan-cpp-library
>github.com/nvpro-pipeline/VkHLF
Which one is better?

[Jordan Jones]

I think you give it a loading function and it uses it to load extensions. I usually see GLAD used with GLFW.

[Wyatt Cooper]

glLoadGen.

Simple, effective, to the point. Nothing extra. You specify what OpenGL version you want and glLoadGen gives it to you. That's it.

[Nicholas Young]

lol'd

[Ryan White]

vulkan

[Henry Wood]

Just write your own, it's at most a dozen lines per platform, you can probably finish it yourself in less time than it takes to research which one of these other libraries you wanna use and how to use them.

[Brody Mitchell]

Devs who want to make more money don't use shit tier APIs like opengl.

[Evan Williams]

There is nothing wrong with it though. Name one thing

[Easton Wilson]

GLEW+GLUT
