gl Macro Hints

Showcase image for the extension

A small extension to display the definitions of OpenGL functions and their parameters as a small window when hovering over such a macro.

Supports multiple OpenGL standards: "es1.1", "es2.0", "es3", "es3.0", "es3.1", "gl2.1", "gl4", which can be configured in your VSCode settings.json file via the glMacroHints.glVersion option.

The documentation was provided by the docs.gl project on GitHub. It's not feasable to make every user of this extension re-download and parse the entire documentation, so instead, I just ship a simple json file that includes the necessary strings used for the inline documentation.
