Description

There are API functions which are not suitable to be maintained in the safety environment. For example, core EGL standard specifies both ‘eglGetDisplay’ and ‘eglGetPlatformDisplay’ functions, where having only the second one would simplify the implementation in the safety environment.

For reference, general issue "EGL" is defined as issue #35.
