In short this means the users no longer need to care about FindSDL2 etc.,
it'll just get done automatically. They don't need to drag along
FindMagnum / FindCorrade anymore either, but having them gives a much
more reasonable error message if the library cannot be located at all, so
I still recommend having them.
The Configuration class is defined on the Windowless*Context already,
which means it's available at the point where the constructor is defined
and thus there's no need for such workarounds anymore.
The whole class was a bad idea, why create something that's 99% similar
to another application and has just one platform-specific workaround? Of
course it resulted in this code being completely untested and not even
built anywhere, because it served a tiny insignificant use case.
To avoid losing all the code, I did my best in attempting to merge this
into the WindowlessEglApplication. But since, again, EGL isn't
really used on any Windows platform, I can't even say it builds
properly. Maybe not even the original code built.
Similar to the change done in Corrade, see the commit for details:

Wow, this is probably the most backwards-compatibility code I've ever
written. Can't wait until I can drop all that.
Except CGL, iOS, AndroidApplication and AbstractXApplication which are
either too crappy or don't have the needed scaffolding for specifying
context flags yet.
With this flag set (which is done implicitly for all windowless apps
and, conversely, not done for all windowed apps), the default
framebuffer state isn't touched in any way, which should avoid potential
race conditions with default framebuffer on another thread.
This removes one unnecessary allocation from each application startup.
In some cases of the windowless apps the Platform::GLContext could be
put directly into the class, in other cases it had to be wrapped in an
Optional because we need delayed construction and/or earlier
destruction.
Disabling engine startup log or modifying enabled extensions /
workarounds from the application side was one of the common pain
points and this should *finally* solve the problem. This Configuration
is now inherited by the usual Platform::*Application::GLConfiguration /
Platform::Windowless*Application::Configuration classes people are used
to, so for the end user it's just as if these classes got a bunch new
options.
Having this, I also extended the ContextGLTest to verify that the
Configuration and command-line options do what's expected because that
hadn't automated tests until now. The test is mostly a copy of what I
did for Vulkan already, nothing special. Additionally all
Platform*ApplicationTest executables gained a new --quiet option to
verify that the GL::Context::Configuration subset gets correctly passed
from the Application code, because that's something we can't really
verify in an automated way.
I don't see any use case for just specifying "all the flags", mainly
because the flags are mutually conflicting and whatnot. Also, these go
outdated *fast*.
THe new MaterialData APIs introduce MaterialAttributeType::Bool and
everything kinda explodes with that.
Seriously, what were the people in 1979 thinking.
Makes things work on Mesa 19.2 when DISPLAY is not defined. And opens the
possibilities for *sane* GPU selection. No more environment variables,
globally exported symbols or other BAD SHIT.
Deprecated in windowless apps in
6feda42f13 (June 2016) and for windowed
apps in eeba2ac848 (March 2017). Use
constructors taking the NoCreate tag instead.
Similar change to the windowed apps, also resetting it when core context
creation fails or when the workaround is applied. This change is not
done for CGL, iOS and Windows EGL apps, as these are either GLES-only
or, in case of macOS, such flag is not available.
There's much more to work around / fix, but this is a start. First we
need to create the context with a pbuffer, otherwise eglMakeCurrent()
crashes deep inside. Second, it doesn't treat EGL_CONTEXT_FLAGS_KHR as a
bitfield, so it blows up when encountering a combination of zero flags.
In that case we're simply not sending the flags there. This would also
blow up when there's more than one flag passed, but there's just one
flag for debug context at the moment, so shouldn't be a problem.
Proofread everything, make the packages the first choice (and manual
build only as a backup catch-all solution), don't force the users to
CMake but provide useful snippets to show how to use the libs from
CMake.
