GLEW and openGL rejection

Question

I use openGL and glew to check for extensions.

Let's say I wanted to check if I can use the multitexture extension:

GLEW_ARB_multitexture will return true if I can use it.

BUT

arb_multitexture is deprecated in openGL 3.0.

Will it return true?

How about in 3.1, where was it removed?

Thank.

Answer 1

It will return true if your context exports the extension, which it will be if it is not "transition compatible" or "main profile", or perhaps if it supports the "GL_ARB_compatibility" extension.
