Is that possible to use Glad instead of Glew ? (C++/OpenGL)

Hi people !

I try to add Cubism 4 R4 to my C++/OpenGL project.
I already use Glad, so I would like to use Cubism Core and Cubism Framework with Glad instead of Glew.

Must I rewrite Framework with Glad or is there another way to switch the lib to Glad ?
Is Core compatible with Glad or is that an obligation to use Glew ?

Thank you for reading me ~

    Okay, so this night I tried to modify the Native SDK Sample Demo for OpenGL (with CSM_TARGET_WIN_GL i.e. for Windows) and it works, but there are some things I don't understand and I'm afraid it will cause problems later. I am a beginner in OpenGL so maybe my questions are stupid.

    Here what I do to switch the OpenGL Demo sample from Glew to Glad :


    1) Delete glew folder and add glad one in the project include directory.
    2) Replace each #include <GL/glew.h> by #include <glad/glad.h> in Framework and
    Demo project.
    3) Write #define GL_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT 0x84FE in CubismRenderer_OpenGLES2.cpp. ( Normally this should be defined in glad.h but I don't know which extension to check in https://glad.dav1d.de to add it to the loader)
    4) In CubismRenderer_OpenGLES2.cpp I remove a part of the GL functions in InitializeGLFunction() Because some macros that begins with PFNGL wasn't found. Here below all the lines I deleted :
     glGenFramebuffers = (PFNGLGENFRAMEBUFFERSEXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glGenFramebuffers");
        glGenRenderbuffers = (PFNGLGENRENDERBUFFERSEXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glGenRenderbuffers");
        glBindFramebuffer = (PFNGLBINDFRAMEBUFFEREXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glBindFramebuffer");
        glFramebufferTexture2D = (PFNGLFRAMEBUFFERTEXTURE2DEXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glFramebufferTexture2D");
        glDeleteFramebuffers = (PFNGLDELETEFRAMEBUFFERSEXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glDeleteFramebuffers");
        glBindRenderbuffer = (PFNGLBINDRENDERBUFFEREXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glBindRenderbuffer");
        glDeleteRenderbuffers = (PFNGLDELETERENDERBUFFERSEXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glDeleteRenderbuffers");
    
        glRenderbufferStorage = (PFNGLRENDERBUFFERSTORAGEEXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glRenderbufferStorage");
        glFramebufferRenderbuffer = (PFNGLFRAMEBUFFERRENDERBUFFEREXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glFramebufferRenderbuffer");
        glCheckFramebufferStatus = (PFNGLCHECKFRAMEBUFFERSTATUSEXTPROC)WinGlGetProcAddress("glCheckFramebufferStatus");


    My questions and worries :


    A ) Why the function InitializeGlFunctions() is needed ? Isn't that the job of Glew or Glad to load and initialize the OpenGL function ?

    B ) Are PFNGLCHECKFRAMEBUFFERSTATUSEXTPROC and other macros I deleted define by Glew, by Windows or by the GPU driver ? What happend if I don't intialize them with WinGlGetProcAddress("gl_function_name") ?

    C ) What are the extension I need to add to glad on the loader website to get GL_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT ? Is That the another name for ARB_texture_filter_anisotropic ?

    Thank you for reading me !

    Thank you for your continued use of our product.

    Since we do not know the specifications of GLAD, please contact GLAD officials or developers for more information.

    A ) Why the function InitializeGlFunctions() is needed ? Isn't that the job of Glew or Glad to load and initialize the OpenGL function ?
    This is necessary because it specifies the setting values during initialization.

    B ) Are PFNGLCHECKFRAMEBUFFERSTATUSEXTPROC and other macros I deleted define by Glew, by Windows or by the GPU driver ? What happend if I don't intialize them with WinGlGetProcAddress("gl_function_name") ?
    In GLEW, macros such as PFNGLCHECKFRAMEBUFFERSTATUSEXTPROC are defined in glew.h.
    If not initialized with WinGlGetProcAddress, the rendering process may fail.

    GLAD requires that you prepare the appropriate loader yourself.

    C ) What are the extension I need to add to glad on the loader website to get GL_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT ? Is That the another name for ARB_texture_filter_anisotropic ?
    I think it is possible to use it by adding ARB_texture_filter_anisotropic, but please check the glad.c generated by you for details.

    hope that helps!
