[CLOSED] Removing 16-element limitation of glGetXXX methods

[ra4king]

Forcing us to make 16-element buffers if we only wanted 2 elements is kinda dumb.

I understand this is in place to avoid buffer overflow, but why can't you just add a size parameter to nglGetXXXv so it only copies in min(size,elements)?

Because OpenGL does not have any way to validate the amount of data actually returned from a glGetxx method. So go and moan about something else Perhaps you could keep your attention on the broken mouse delta APIs in Windows
