<pre>There has been a couple weeks of discussion about this inside Khronos (see
Khronos internal <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_VERIFIED bz_closed"
title="VERIFIED WONTFIX - [i915 XvMC] XvMCGetAttribute/XvMCSetAttribute should return 'BadMatch' for undefined attribute"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=16110">bug #16110</a>).
A lot of the discussion focused on which option would be least likely to be
used incorrectly by developers. Since glGetProgramInfoLog takes a maxLength
parameter, overruns should be unlikely. I'm still not 100% comfortable with
it, but I can live with it.
The conclusion is as follows:
1. In the initial state, the info log is empty. As of this writing, the spec
says there is "no info log."
2. If the info log is empty, the GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH query should return 0.
3. If maxLength passed to glGetProgramInfoLog is > 0, the buffer pointed to by
infoLog will be NUL terminated even if GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH returned 0. The spec
be clarified to make this last point explicit.
Guess who gets to write CTS tests to exercise all of this behavior? Yeah, I
do.
We should implement the behavior described by the pending spec changes. I
believe this matches the expectations of the WebGL test referenced in comment
#2.
Tapani: Are you still available to do this?</pre>
