Package org.lwjgl.openal

Class EXTThreadLocalContext

java.lang.Object

org.lwjgl.openal.EXTThreadLocalContext

public class EXTThreadLocalContext
extends Object

Native bindings to the EXT_thread_local_context extension.

This extension introduces the concept of a current thread-local context, with each thread able to have its own current context. The current context is what the al- functions work on, effectively allowing multiple threads to independently drive separate OpenAL playback contexts.

Method Details

alcSetThreadContext

public static boolean alcSetThreadContext(long context)

Makes a context current with respect to OpenAL operation on the current thread. The context parameter can be NULL or a valid context pointer. Using NULL results in no thread-specific context being current in the calling thread, which is useful when shutting OpenAL down.

Parameters:

context - the context to make current

alcGetThreadContext

public static long alcGetThreadContext()

Retrieves a handle to the thread-specific context of the calling thread. This function will return NULL if no thread-specific context is set.
