A variable controlling whether dispatching OpenGL context updates should
block the dispatching thread until the main thread finishes processing on
macOS.
The variable can be set to the following values:
- "0": Dispatching OpenGL context updates will block the dispatching thread
until the main thread finishes processing. (default)
- "1": Dispatching OpenGL context updates will allow the dispatching thread
to continue execution.
Generally you want the default, but if you have OpenGL code in a background
thread on a Mac, and the main thread hangs because it's waiting for that
background thread, but that background thread is also hanging because it's
waiting for the main thread to do an update, this might fix your issue.
