Just to mention that GLFW already has an extension detection mechanism, and it works like a charm … 🙂

Yes, but you have to write all functions definitions yourself.

yes ok … it defines all PFN in place … useful in many case ( but i find it too bloated anyway 🙂 )

Sorry if I’m rude, but what does this have to do with anything? Sure, I know about GLEW (haven’t used it though). GLFW has its own extension functions (quite general though), and I’m happy with that…
