This is basically a re-write of the slab allocator into a design where multiple child pools are linked to a parent pool. The intention is that every (GL, pipe) context has its own child pool, while the corresponding parent pool is held by the winsys or screen, or possibly the GL share group. The fast path is still used when objects are freed by the same child pool that allocated them. However, it is now also possible to free an object in a different pool, as long as they belong to the same parent. Objects also survive the destruction of the (child) pool from which they were allocated. The slow path will return freed objects to the child pool from which they were originally allocated. If that child pool was destroyed, the corresponding page is considered an orphan and will be freed once all objects in it have been freed. This allocation pattern is required for pipe_transfers that correspond to (GL) buffer object mappings when the mapping is created in one context which is later destroyed while other contexts of the same share group live on -- see the bug report referenced below. Note that individual drivers do need to migrate to the new interface in order to benefit and fix the bug. v2: use singly-linked lists everywhere v3: use p_atomic_set for page->u.num_remaining Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97894
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.
