I am trying to use the OpenGL extension: GL_INTEL_performance_query to read the Intel performance counters from an integrated Intel GPU (HD 500). This extension is supported on my hardware and also available on OGL starting OpenGL 3.0 When I run the following code snippet on my machine:
if( !IsExtensionSupported("GL_INTEL_performance_query") )
{
printf( "ERROR: extension GL_INTEL_performance_query isn't available, exiting\n" );
return false;
}
I get an error that the extension is not supported. The current version for the OGL is:
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
Vendor: VMware, Inc. (0xffffffff)
Device: llvmpipe (LLVM 8.0, 128 bits) (0xffffffff)
Version: 19.0.8
Accelerated: no
Video memory: 7822MB
Unified memory: no
Preferred profile: core (0x1)
Max core profile version: 3.3
Max compat profile version: 3.1
Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.0
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 8.0, 128 bits)
OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 19.0.8
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.40
OpenGL context flags: (none)
When I try to list all available extensions I get this list:

Is there a way to enable a specific extension or any hints if the problem is related to OGL version vs Hardware?
