[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2] mesa: Allow override of GL version with environment variable

[Chad Versace]

[idr and kwg, I see your point. I've removed the overrides for GLES1 and
GLES2.]

It is necessary to manually set the GL version to 3.0 in order to run
Piglit tests using glGetUniform*().

This patch allows one to override the version of the OpenGL context by
setting the environment variable MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE.

v2
---
- [brianp] Change variable name to MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE.
- [brianp] Document in envvars.html.
- [idr, kwg] Remove overrides for GLES1 and GLES2.

 If the extension string is too long, the buffer overrun can cause the game

 This is a work-around for that.
