glXWaitX 3G
glXWaitX complete X execution prior to subsequent GL calls

## C Specification

void `glXWaitX` void

## Description

X rendering calls made prior to `glXWaitX` are guaranteed to be executed before GL rendering calls made after `glXWaitX`. Although the same result can be achieved using `XSync`, `glXWaitX` does not require a round trip to the server, and it is therefore more efficient in cases where client and server are on separate machines.

`glXWaitX` is ignored if there is no current GLX context.

## Notes

`glXWaitX` may or may not flush the GL stream.

## Errors

`GLXBadCurrentWindow` is generated if the drawable associated with the current context of the calling thread is a window, and that window is no longer valid.
