Using glPrimitiveRestartIndex to declare multiple geometries in the same VBO

Seeing this w.r.t. OpenGL triggered some warning neurons, such as:

• About OpenGL for OS

Important OpenGL was deprecated in macOS 10.14.

I guess your MacOS X is prior to that. However, searching the forums for MacOS and primitive restart calls into question whether this ever worked properly on Mac’s OpenGL implementation (…that is, before Apple decided to kick OpenGL developers off of Mac, or onto API mappers like Zink and MoltenVK). For a few of those links, see below.

Restart primitive index bug in Xcode?

Hi everyone, I started doing project that uses OpenGL on Visual Studio and then I converted to Xcode. Everything works fine, except restart index. Primitives drawing doesn’t work as it works on Windows. In VS I used GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_FIXED_INDEX to draw many triangle strips in only one call of drawElements, and it worked fine. On Xcode I had to change to glPrimitiveRestart(0xFFFF), because OS X has OpenGL 4.1 which doesn’t have GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_FIXED_INDEX. And it doesn’t draw triangle s…

PRIMITIVE_RESTART on mac

Hi, I have a macbook with OSX 10.6.2. I would like to use PRIMITIVE_RESTART for my index buffer (triangle_strip), but it looks like it is not supported on mac? Or is it and I just don´t know the right name of it? I have checked also glext.h - and could not find it there.
