7At a high level, the first three steps of making a GrGLInterface (a generic way to
8interact with a GL-like GPU) are:

10 - Assemble: Copy a set of function pointers into the struct
11 - Validate: Make sure the function pointers advertised actually exist.

18The first two steps have been automated with a table-based generation script located
19in this folder. The table is in JSON5 format (like JSON, but with comments). O

21Once edited, the Assemble/Validate code can be re-generated by running
22`make generate` in this folder.
