Make two passes over the constructor parameters. Write all of the
constants in a single write, then write the non-constants one at a
time. This causes the fragment shader
varying float g;
void main()
{
gl_FragColor = vec4(0.0, g, 0.0, 1.0);
}
to generate
(function main
(signature void (parameters )
(
(declare (temporary ) vec4 vec_ctor@0x8580058)
(assign (constant bool (1)) (xzw) (var_ref vec_ctor@0x8580058) (constant vec4 (0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000)) )
(assign (constant bool (1)) (y) (var_ref vec_ctor@0x8580058) (swiz xxxx (var_ref g@0x8580218) ))
(assign (constant bool (1)) (xyzw) (var_ref gl_FragColor@0x84d32a0) (var_ref vec_ctor@0x8580058) )
))
)
instead of
(function main
(signature void (parameters )
(
(declare (temporary ) vec4 vec_ctor@0x8580058)
(assign (constant bool (1)) (x) (var_ref vec_ctor@0x8580058) (constant vec4 (0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000)) )
(assign (constant bool (1)) (y) (var_ref vec_ctor@0x8580058) (swiz xxxx (var_ref g@0x8580218) ))
(assign (constant bool (1)) (z) (var_ref vec_ctor@0x8580058) (constant vec4 (0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000)) )
(assign (constant bool (1)) (w) (var_ref vec_ctor@0x8580058) (constant vec4 (0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000)) )
(assign (constant bool (1)) (xyzw) (var_ref gl_FragColor@0x84d32a0) (var_ref vec_ctor@0x8580058) )
))
)
A similar optimization could be done for matrix constructors, but it
is a little more complicate there.
WindML Driver for Mesa 4.0
Requirements
------------
Tornado 2 + WindML, Cumulative Patchs are recommended.
I suppose you have a valid WindML installation. Double buffer hardware
gives better performance than double buffer software so if you can
compile your WindML driver with this option, just do it. I/O
redirection is adviced in target server.
Tested on
---------
During the development, my main target was a CoolMonster:
- Video card: CT69000
- CPU: PENTIUM 266MHz
and my host a Windows NT + Tornado 2.
Installation
------------
1. Mesa sources must be in root directory (C:\)
2. Add the following line to your torVars.bat:
set MESA_BASE=C:\Mesa
OR copy the new torVars.bat in your bin path:
c:/Mesa/src/ugl/tornado/torVars.sample ->
/mnt/nt/Tornado/host/x86-win32/bin/torVars (for example)
3. In a command prompt:
$ torVars
$ cd c:\Mesa
$ make -f Makefile.ugl CPU=PENTIUM
Take a long while...
5. Include all the files from ugldemos folder to build some downloadable
application modules
4. Download UGL/Mesa object files on target
For example via the WindShell:
ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objMesaGL.o
ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objMesaUGL.o
ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objMesaGLU.o
ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objGLUTshapes.o
ld < c:\Tornado\target\lib\objMesaOS.o
You can put the previous lines in a file and use:
< filename
6. Download the application modules.
7. In WindShell, run:
-> uglalldemos
During the show some messages will appear, it provides some useful
information on key management.
Coding
------
Sample Usage:
In addition to the usual ugl calls to initialize UGL, (may be find an
input driver), you must do the following to use the UGL/Mesa interface:
1. Call uglMesaCreateContext() to create a UGL/Mesa rendering context,
given the display format.
2. Call uglMesaMakeCurrent() to bind the UGL/Mesa buffers to an
UGL/Mesa Context and to make the context the current one.
3. Make gl* calls to render your graphics.
4. Use uglMesaSwapBuffers() when double buffering to swap front/back buffers.
5. Before the UGL is destroyed, call MesaDestroyContext().
6. Before exiting, call if required uglEventQDestroy and then
uglDeinitialize();
Limitations
-----------
I found the following limitations in my driver :
- Color Indexed management is only in 8 bits
- It's possible to mix UGL/OpenGL application with a software
double buffer
