Although in principle there is no hardware limitation that prevents gl_MaxGeometryInputComponents from being set to 128 on Gen7, we have the following limitations in the vec4 compiler back end: - Registers assigned to geometry shader inputs can't be spilled or later re-used for any other purpose. - The last 16 registers are set aside for the "MRF hack", meaning they can only be used to send messages, and not for general purpose computation. - Up to 32 registers may be reserved for push constants, even if there is sufficient register pressure to make this impractical. A shader using 128 geometry input components, and having an input type of triangles_adjacency, would use up: - 1 register for r0 (which holds URB handles and various pieces of control information). - 1 register for gl_PrimitiveID. - 102 registers for geometry shader inputs (17 registers per input vertex, assuming DUAL_INSTANCED dispatch mode and allowing for one register of overhead for gl_Position and gl_PointSize, which are present in the URB map even if they are not used). - Up to 32 registers for push constants. - 16 registers for the "MRF hack". That's a total of 152 registers, which is well over the 128 registers the hardware supports. Fortunately, the GLSL 1.50 spec allows us to reduce gl_MaxGeometryInputComponents to 64. Doing that frees up 48 registers, brining the total down to 104 registers, leaving 24 registers available to do computation. Fixes piglit test spec/glsl-1.50/execution/geometry/max-input-components.

File: docs/README.WIN32 Last updated: 21 June 2013 Quick Start ----- ----- Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are no longer shipped or supported. Run scons osmesa mesagdi to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or scons libgl-gdi to build gallium based GDI driver. This will work both with MSVS or Mingw. Windows Drivers ------- ------- At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work. Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown. Recipe ------ Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are steps that work as of this writing. 1) install python 2.7 2) install scons (latest) 3) install mingw, flex, and bison 4) install libxml2 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs get libxml2-python-2.9.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe 5) install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe 6) install git 7) download mesa from git see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html 8) run scons General ------- After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32. If you don't like putting things in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the executable(s). Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory. The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the stdcall calling convention. Static LIB files are not built. The LIB files that are built with are the linker import files associated with the DLL files. The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs. This was done mainly to get the better tessellator code. If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
