Status
Shipping since Mesa 2.0 in October, 1996.
Version
Last Modified Date: 8 June 2000
Number

Dependencies
OpenGL 1.0 or later is required.
GLX 1.0 or later is required.
Overview
Mesa's implementation of GLX is entirely implemented on the client side.
Therefore, Mesa cannot immediately detect when an X window or pixmap is
destroyed in order to free any ancillary data associated with the window
or pixmap.
The glxMesaReleaseBuffers() function can be used to explicitly indicate
when the back color buffer, depth buffer, stencil buffer, and/or accumu-
lation buffer associated with a drawable can be freed.
IP Status
Open-source; freely implementable.
Issues
None.
New Procedures and Functions
Bool glXReleaseBuffersMESA( Display *dpy, GLXDrawable d );
New Tokens
None.
Additions to Chapter 3 of the GLX 1.3 Specification (Functions and Errors)
The function
Bool glXReleaseBuffersMESA( Display *dpy, GLXDrawable d );
causes all software ancillary buffers (back buffer, depth, stencil,
accum, etc) associated with the named drawable to be immediately
deallocated. True is returned if <d> is a valid Mesa GLX drawable,
else False is returned. After calling glXReleaseBuffersMESA, the
drawable should no longer be used for GL rendering. Results of
attempting to do so are undefined.
GLX Protocol
None, since this is a client-side operation.
Errors
None.
New State
None.
