We can at least avoid any direct dlsym references on the Mac and simply use the glXGetProcAddress procedure. Also, for anything that is added to the OpenGL stack post 10.4.4 or whatever the first intel version of OS X was, it could avoid a huge amount of glXGetProcAddress's for the included opengl calls like glBegin, etc.
Ah yes. We do this on Linux to avoid a hard OpenGL dependency, which not everybody will have. But you know users must have this on MacOS as the GUI is not optional.
This is not a requirement by the processor, per se, but by the OS X ABI.
I see. What a peculiar ABI. Well you can't possibly fix it the way you currently do, just force an aligned mmap for the stack when it's first allocated.
On systems that already have roots like the Window Server on OS X and the GDI root on Windows, your system then looks like Linux.
I don't understand. The root window doesn't have to be visible, as long as it exists for accounting purposes.
