Struggling with EXT_multisampled_render_to_texture on Mali-G76

Just for reference, here's a patch on top of the gles3jni example from https://github.com/android/ndk-samples (the same type of code works for the hello-gl2 sample as well) demonstrating how to load the right function pointers, plus how using the non-EXT glRenderbufferStorageMultisample can result in this error (see the #if for good vs non-working code):

It might be good to double-check any function pointer loader you might be using isn't grabbing the wrong function.

I'll check it and answer tomorrow.
Thank you a lot!

Hello.
I copy-pasted retrieving glRenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT pointer as PFNGLRENDERBUFFERSTORAGEMULTISAMPLEEXTPROC into example and it fixes my issue.

The problem was in our engine macro GET_GL_FUNC(func_name, extSuffix) which first looks up function without suffix and only when it is not found looks up EXT version.

Thank you for help!

Super, thanks for confirming this was the issue! :)
