This is motivated by the fact that p_atomic_read and p_atomic_set may somewhat surprisingly not do the right thing in the old version: while stores and loads are de facto atomic at least on x86, the compiler may apply re-ordering and speculation quite liberally. Basically, the old version uses the "relaxed" memory ordering. The new ordering always uses acquire/release ordering. This is the strongest possible memory ordering that doesn't require additional fence instructions on x86. (And the only stronger ordering is "sequentially consistent", which is usually more than you need anyway.) I would feel more comfortable if p_atomic_set/read in the old implementation were at least using volatile loads and stores, but I don't see a way to get there without typeof (which we cannot use here since the code is compiled with -std=c99). Eventually, we should really just move to something that is based on the atomics in C11 / C++11. Acked-by: Marek Olšák <marek.olsak@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@collabora.com>
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 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. - install python 2.7 - install scons (latest) - install mingw, flex, and bison - install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe - install git - download mesa from git see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html - 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.
