Previously we disabled the guardband when the viewport was smaller than the framebuffer on Gen6-7.5, to prevent portions of primitives from being draw outside of the viewport. On Gen8+, we relied on the viewport extents test to effectively scissor this away for us. We can simply always enable scissoring instead. We already include the viewport in the scissor rectangle, so this will effectively do the viewport extents test for us. (The only difference is that the scissor rectangle doesn't support sub-pixel values. I think that's okay.) Given that the viewport extents test is essentially a second scissor, and is enabled for basically all 3D drawing on Gen8+, it stands to reason that scissoring is cheap. Enabling the guardband reduces the cost of clipping, which is expensive. The Windows driver appears to never disable guardband clipping, and appears to use scissoring in this case. I don't know if they leave it on universally though. This fixes misrendering in Blender, where the "floor plane" grid lines started rendering at wrong angles after I disabled XY clipping of line primitives. Enabling the guardband seems to solve the issue.

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.
