/**
 * Native bindings to the NV_robustness_video_memory_purge extension.
 * 
 * This extension allows applications to be notified when video memory has been purged.
 * 
 * The NVIDIA OpenGL driver architecture on Linux has a limitation: resources located in video memory are not persistent across certain events. VT
 * switches, suspend/resume events, and mode switching events may erase the contents of video memory. Any resource that is located exclusively in video
 * memory, such as framebuffer objects (FBOs), will be lost. As the OpenGL specification makes no mention of events where the video memory is allowed to
 * be cleared, the driver attempts to hide this fact from the application, but cannot do it for all resources.
 * 
 * This extension provides a way for applications to discover when video memory content has been lost, so that the application can re-populate the video
 * memory content as necessary.
 * 
 * This extension will have a limited lifespan, as planned architectural evolutions in the NVIDIA Linux driver stack will allow video memory to be
 * persistent. Any driver that exposes this extension is a driver that considers video memory to be volatile. Once the driver stack has been improved, the
 * extension will no longer be exposed.
