## OpenGL on macOS {#compat_osx}
Support for OpenGL 3.2 and above was introduced with OS X 10.7 and even then
only forward-compatible, core profile contexts are supported. Support for
OpenGL 4.1 was introduced with OS X 10.9, also limited to forward-compatible,
core profile contexts. There is also still no mechanism for requesting debug
contexts or no-error contexts. Versions of Mac OS X earlier than 10.7 support
at most OpenGL version 2.1.
macOS (as of version 14) still provides OpenGL but it has been deprecated by
Apple. While the API is still available, it is poorly maintained and frequently
develops new issues. On modern systems, OpenGL is implemented on top of Metal
and is not fully thread-safe.
Because of this, on OS X 10.7 and later, the `GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR` and
`GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR` hints will cause @ref glfwCreateWindow to fail if
given version 3.0 or 3.1. The `GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE` hint must be set to
`GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE` when creating OpenGL 3.2 and later contexts. The
`GLFW_CONTEXT_DEBUG` and `GLFW_CONTEXT_NO_ERROR` hints are ignored.
macOS does not support OpenGL stereo rendering. If the `GLFW_STEREO` hint is
set to true, OpenGL context creation will always fail.
Also, on Mac OS X 10.6 and below, the `GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR` and
`GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR` hints will fail if given a version above 2.1,
setting the `GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE` or `GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT` hints to
a non-default value will cause @ref glfwCreateWindow to fail and the
`GLFW_CONTEXT_DEBUG` hint is ignored.
macOS only supports OpenGL core profile contexts that are forward-compatible,
but the `GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT` hint is ignored since GLFW 3.4. Even if
this hint is set to false (the default), a forward-compatible context will be
returned if available.
macOS does not support OpenGL debug contexts, no-error contexts or robustness.
The `GLFW_CONTEXT_DEBUG`, `GLFW_CONTEXT_NO_ERROR` and `GLFW_CONTEXT_ROBUSTNESS`
hints will be ignored and a context without these features will be returned.
macOS does not flush OpenGL contexts when they are made non-current. The
`GLFW_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR` hint is ignored and the release behavior will
always be the equivalent of `GLFW_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR_NONE`. If you need a context
to be flushed, call `glFlush` before making it non-current.
