@subsection moving_window_close Window closing
Window closing is now just an event like any other. GLFW 3 windows won't
disappear from underfoot even when no close callback is set; instead the
window's close flag is set. You can query this flag using @ref
glfwWindowShouldClose, or capture close events by setting a close callback. The
close flag can be modified from any point in your program using @ref
Window closing initiated by the user is now just an event like any other.
Unlike GLFW 2, windows and contexts created with GLFW 3 will not disappear from
underfoot. Each window now has a close flag, which is set when the user
attempts to close it. By default, nothing else happens and the window stays
open and visible. It is then up to you to either destroy the window, take some
other action or simply ignore the request. You can query the close flag at any
time with @ref glfwWindowShouldClose and set it at any time with @ref
glfwSetWindowShouldClose.
The close callback no longer returns a value. Instead, it is called after the
close flag has been set so it can override its value, if it chooses to, before
event processing completes. You may however not call @ref glfwDestroyWindow
from the close callback (or any other window related callback).
GLFW itself never clears the close flag, allowing you to set it for other
reasons for the window to close as well, for example the user choosing Quit from
the main menu.
