Now that there's some SoA fetch which never falls back, we should always get results which are better or at least not worse (something like rgba32f will stay the same). For cases which get way better, think something like R16_UNORM with 8-wide vectors: this was 8 sign-extend fetches, 8 cvt, 8 muls, followed by a couple of shuffles to stitch things together (if it is smart enough, 6 unpacks) and then a (8-wide) transpose (not sure if llvm could even optimize the shuffles + transpose, since the 16bit values were actually sign-extended to 128bit before being cast to a float vec, so that would be another 8 unpacks). Now that is just 8 fetches (directly inserted into vector, albeit there's one 128bit insert needed), 1 cvt, 1 mul. v2: ditch the old AoS code instead of just disabling it.

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.
