- remove unused variables
- reduce the scope where it makes sense
- correct limits (did you know that strcat()'s last parameter does not
include the \0 that is always added?)
- set some free()'d pointers to NULL
If there is an issue with a reported extension, disable it instead of failing out entirely.
Fixes an issue with buffer_storage that I had overlooked as well.
This changes from using logical and to bitwise and, which causes the compile time to drop from an absurd amount of time to around five seconds on my
crappy laptop.
This option was known to break every second game and only boost a bit.
It also seems to be broken because of streaming into pinned memory and buffer storage buffers.
v2: also remove dlc_desc
Older Qualcomm drivers rotated the framebuffer 90 degrees and this fix didn't work.
Now for some obscene reason it rotates a full 180 degrees.
This can at least be worked around by flipping around the image on our end.
On Windows, nvidia don't give us their driver version, so we can't workaround any issues.
As buffer_storage is broken on some drivers, we wanted to disble it for them.
So we can't.
Luckyly only "some" released driver versions are affected as this extension is only available since some months. Let's hope that nobody have to use one of this driver version, else they will get a black screen ...
OSX has their own driver, so performance issues aren't shared with the nvidia driver (unlike the closed source linux and windows nvidia driver). So now they'll also use the MapAndSync backend like all other osx drivers.
fixes issue 6596
I've also cleaned up the if/else block selecting the best backend a bit.
The only two devices that do this are Mesa software rasterizer and Intel Ironlake(With a few hacks).
Basically since it doesn't support OpenGL 3.0, it can't grab the version the new way.
So failing that, it sets to GL 2.1, and continues.
Further along, on Ironlake at least, it tries grabbing the extensions the new GL 3.0 way and fails.
So have a fallback that grabs the extensions string the old way, in probably the most elegant way possible.
The old way was to use big switch/case statements based on a type of buffer.
The new one is to use inheritance.
This change prohibits us to change the buffer type while running, but I doubt we'll ever do so.
Performance should also be a bit better. Also a nice cleanup.
Added some comments about this different kind of buffers.
This is a bit slower on map_and_* because of flushing and _very_ much slower on buffer(sub)?data because of a new memcpy.
But this design allow us to decode directly into a gpu buffer, eg vertexloader will profit :)
gl.h and glext.h provide most of the function pointer typedefs and defines for extensions and core features.
The only one it doesn't provide is GL 1.1 function typedefs, but this is to be expected.
If anything needs defines or typedefs in their header in the future, that's as easy as before.
This one was introduced to reduce the glBindTexture and glActiveTexture calls. But it was quite a bit of logic and only an improvment on uploading/creating a texture, which is done rarely.
