                        If a delay would occur waiting for the query result, <constant>GL_FALSE</constant> is returned.
                        Otherwise, <constant>GL_TRUE</constant> is returned, which also indicates that the results of all
                        previous queries of the same type are available as well.

            When <parameter>pname</parameter> is <constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT</constant>, <function>glGetQueryObjectuiv</function> 
			implicitly flushes the GL pipeline so that any incomplete rendering delimited by the occlusion query completes in finite time.

        <para>
                        Repeatedly querying the <constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE</constant> state for any given query object is
                        guaranteed to return true eventually. Note that multiple queries to the same occlusion object may result in a
                        significant performance loss. For better performance it is recommended to wait N frames before querying this
                        state. N is implementation-dependent but is generally between one and three.
        </para>
                <para>
            If multiple queries are issued using the same query object <parameter>id</parameter> before calling
            <function>glGetQueryObjectuiv</function>, the results of the most recent query will be returned.  In this case,
            when issuing a new query, the results of the previous query are discarded.
