Talk:Core And Compatibility in Contexts
"Compatibility bit"
A context, of version 3.0 or greater, can be created with the "forward compatibility" bit set. ... You should never use the forward compatibility bit. It had a use for GL 3.0, but once 3.1 removed most of the stuff, it stopped having a use.
The forward-compatibility bit was immediately made incompatible? I find that fantastically ironic...
