<h2>Adding Extentions</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To add a new GL extension to Mesa you have to do at least the following.
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If glext.h doesn't define the extension, edit include/GL/gl.h and add
|
|
code like this:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
#ifndef GL_EXT_the_extension_name
|
|
#define GL_EXT_the_extension_name 1
|
|
/* declare the new enum tokens */
|
|
/* prototype the new functions */
|
|
/* TYPEDEFS for the new functions */
|
|
#endif
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
In the src/mesa/glapi/ directory, add the new extension functions and
|
|
enums to the gl_API.xml file.
|
|
Then, a bunch of source files must be regenerated by executing the
|
|
corresponding Python scripts.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add a new entry to the <code>gl_extensions</code> struct in mtypes.h
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Update the <code>extensions.c</code> file.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
From this point, the best way to proceed is to find another extension,
|
|
similar to the new one, that's already implemented in Mesa and use it
|
|
as an example.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If the new extension adds new GL state, the functions in get.c, enable.c
|
|
and attrib.c will most likely require new code.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Coding Style</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mesa's code style has changed over the years. Here's the latest.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Comment your code! It's extremely important that open-source code be
|
|
well documented. Also, strive to write clean, easily understandable code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
3-space indentation
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you use tabs, set them to 8 columns
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Line width: the preferred width to fill comments and code in Mesa is 78
|
|
columns. Exceptions are sometimes made for clarity (e.g. tabular data is
|
|
sometimes filled to a much larger width so that extraneous carriage returns
|
|
don't obscure the table).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Brace example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
if (condition) {
|
|
foo;
|
|
}
|
|
else {
|
|
bar;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
switch (condition) {
|
|
case 0:
|
|
foo();
|
|
break;
|
|
|
|
case 1: {
|
|
...
|
|
break;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
default:
|
|
...
|
|
break;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here's the GNU indent command which will best approximate my preferred style:
|
|
(Note that it won't format switch statements in the preferred way)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
indent -br -i3 -npcs --no-tabs infile.c -o outfile.c
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Local variable name example: localVarName (no underscores)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Constants and macros are ALL_UPPERCASE, with _ between words
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Global variables are not allowed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Function name examples:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
glFooBar() - a public GL entry point (in glapi_dispatch.c)
|
|
_mesa_FooBar() - the internal immediate mode function
|
|
save_FooBar() - retained mode (display list) function in dlist.c
|
|
foo_bar() - a static (private) function
|
|
_mesa_foo_bar() - an internal non-static Mesa function
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Places that are not directly visible to the GL API should prefer the use
|
|
of <tt>bool</tt>, <tt>true</tt>, and
|
|
<tt>false</tt> over <tt>GLboolean</tt>, <tt>GL_TRUE</tt>, and
|
|
<tt>GL_FALSE</tt>. In C code, this may mean that
|
|
<tt>#include <stdbool.h></tt> needs to be added. The
|
|
<tt>try_emit_</tt>* methods in src/mesa/program/ir_to_mesa.cpp and
|
|
src/mesa/state_tracker/st_glsl_to_tgsi.cpp can serve as examples.
|
|
</p>

<h2>Marking a commit as a candidate for a stable branch</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want a commit to be applied to a stable branch,
|
|
you should add an appropriate note to the commit message.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here are some examples of such a note:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>NOTE: This is a candidate for the 9.0 branch.</li>
|
|
<li>NOTE: This is a candidate for the 8.0 and 9.0 branches.</li>
|
|
<li>NOTE: This is a candidate for the stable branches.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Cherry-picking candidates for a stable branch</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please use <code>git cherry-pick -x <commit></code> for cherry-picking a commit
|
|
from master to a stable branch.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Making a New Mesa Release</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
These are the instructions for making a new Mesa release.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Get latest source files</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Use git to get the latest Mesa files from the git repository, from whatever
|
|
branch is relevant.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Verify and update version info</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>SConstruct</dt>
|
|
<dt>Android.common.mk</dt>
|
|
<dd>PACKAGE_VERSION</dd>
|
|
<dt>configure.ac</dt>
|
|
<dd>AC_INIT</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Create a docs/relnotes/x.y.z.html file.
|
|
The bin/bugzilla_mesa.sh and bin/shortlog_mesa.sh scripts can be used to
|
|
create the HTML-formatted lists of bugfixes and changes to include in the file.
|
|
Link the new docs/relnotes/x.y.z.html file into the main <a href="relnotes.html">relnotes.html</a> file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Update <a href="index.html">docs/index.html</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tag the files with the release name (in the form <b>mesa-x.y</b>)
|
|
with: <code>git tag -s mesa-x.y -m "Mesa x.y Release"</code>
|
|
Then: <code>git push origin mesa-x.y</code>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Make the tarballs</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Make the distribution files. From inside the Mesa directory:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
make tarballs
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After the tarballs are created, the md5 checksums for the files will
|
|
be computed.
|
|
Add them to the docs/relnotes/x.y.html file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Copy the distribution files to a temporary directory, unpack them,
|
|
compile everything, and run some demos to be sure everything works.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Update the website and announce the release</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Make a new directory for the release on annarchy.freedesktop.org with:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<code>
|
|
mkdir /srv/ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/x.y
|
|
</code>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Basically, to upload the tarball files with:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<code>
|
|
rsync -avP -e ssh MesaLib-x.y.* USERNAME@annarchy.freedesktop.org:/srv/ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/x.y/
|
|
</code>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Update the web site by copying the docs/ directory's files to
|
|
/home/users/b/br/brianp/mesa-www/htdocs/ with:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<code>
|
|
sftp USERNAME,mesa3d@web.sourceforge.net
|
|
</code>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Make an announcement on the mailing lists:
|
|
|
|
<em>m</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em>a</em><em>-</em><em>d</em><em>e</em><em>v</em><em>@</em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em>s</em><em>.</em><em>f</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>e</em><em>d</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em>k</em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>.</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>g</em>,
|
|
<em>m</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em>a</em><em>-</em><em>u</em><em>s</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>s</em><em>@</em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em>s</em><em>.</em><em>f</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>e</em><em>d</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em>k</em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>.</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>g</em>
|
|
and
|
|
<em>m</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em>a</em><em>-</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>n</em><em>o</em><em>u</em><em>n</em><em>c</em><em>e</em><em>@</em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em>s</em><em>.</em><em>f</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>e</em><em>d</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em>k</em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>.</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>g</em>
