572873 - Hide details of bind-to-texture in GLContext implementations

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

I propose changing the GLContextProvider::CreatePBuffer() API to CreateTexturable(), since pbuffers can't be bound to textures on all platforms.  This makes implementing and using Oleg's BindTex/ReleaseTex() API for CGL, WGL, and GLX more natural.

Let's hold off on doing this rename -- it might well become something like CreateOffscreen in the near future, but would like to think about the full API path some.  This might end up creating a dummy context with a FBO, which would mean extra info would need to get passed back.

Attachment: Implement BindTexImage/ReleaseTexImage for CGL/WGL/GLX.

Holding off on CreatePBuffer() rename per comment 1.

All the stuff here is either no longer relevant or subsumed by other work.
