XLib Dynamic Loader

A single header file that dynamically loads the Xlib and GLX library

Use

First, define XDL_IMPLEMENTATION and include the library

#define XDL_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "XDL.h"

Next, use XDL_init to load the X11 module

XDLModule x11Module = XDL_init();

When you're done, make sure to close the module, this frees all the allocated data and stored functions
This is not required in c++ because the data should automatically deallocate. (unless you have XDL_NO_DEALLOCATE enabled)

XDL_close(x11Module);

You can also define XDL_NO_GLX before including XDL if you don't want to include the GLX module

#define XDL_NO_GLX
#define XDL_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "XDL.h"

XDL_NO_DEALLOCATE can be defined to turn of automatic deallocation for c++

#define XDL_NO_DEALLOCATE
#define XDL_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "XDL.h"

• GLFW Much of this implementation is based on GLFW's internal x11 dynamic loader A great portion of the declarations for the X11 module are sourced from GLFW

• stb This project is heavily inspired by the stb single header files
