In pre-GEN6, when using clip planes, both the vertex shader and the clipper need access to the client-supplied clip planes, since the vertex shader needs them to set the clip flags, and the clipper needs them to determine where to insert new vertices. With the old VS backend, we used a clever optimization to avoid placing duplicate copies of these planes in the CURBE: we used the same block of memory for both the clipper and vertex shader constants, with the clip planes at the front of it, and then we instructed the clipper to read just the initial part of this block containing the clip planes. This optimization was tricky, of dubious value, and not completely working in the new VS backend, so I've removed it. Now, when using the new VS backend, separate parts of the CURBE are used for the clipper and the vertex shader. Note that this doesn't affect the number of push constants available to the vertex shader, it simply causes the CURBE to occupy a few more bytes of URB memory. The old VS backend is unaffected. GEN6+, which does clipping entirely in hardware, is also unaffected. Reviewed-by: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org>
File: docs/README.WIN32 Last updated: 23 April 2011 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. 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.
