I am trying to build a fallback mechanism for OpenGL drivers in an application that uses GLFW and GLAD, where if the system provided library does not support 4.5 version, a MESA implementation is used instead.

Let’s name the system OpenGL library as opengl32.dll and Mesa one as opengl32_mesa.dll.

I believe GLFW loads in the OpenGL driver libraries by the standard system name opengl32.dll. I could interject by using LoadLibrary* functions to select the correct implementation but the library names are different. If, I load opengl32_mesa.dll, then it won’t be picked up by GLFW since it does not match the name it expects, i.e. opengl32.dll.

So, is it possible to load a library under a different name?
Any alternative suggestion are welcome.

TIA.
