[Mesa-dev] EXT_tetxure_swizzle and BGRA textures : glean test enhancement

[Jose Fonseca]

I read the extension and it is not crystal clear, but it seems to imply the swizzles are orthogonal to the format, and applied as the very last step before being used in a shader. That is, the semantics are the same of adding a swizzle instruction after a TEX opcode, regardless of the format. At least this is my interpretation of 

  The values of the texture parameters TEXTURE_SWIZZLE_R_EXT,
    TEXTURE_SWIZZLE_G_EXT, TEXTURE_SWIZZLE_B_EXT, and 
    TEXTURE_SWIZZLE_A_EXT, are applied after the swizzling described
    in Table 3.20 (p. 186). The swizzle parameter 
    TEXTURE_SWIZZLE_R_EXT affects the first component of Cs as:

BGRA extension does not specify additions to the 3.20 table though (it's against spec 1.1) so this is why the guess work.

So my expectaction is that swizzling a BGRA with a .rgba swizzle will get bgra. 

It is also interesting the mention that the swizzle happens after texture compare mode.

Hmm on a second look inside mesa, it appears it never stores textures
internally as BGRA, it always does a swizzle translate on the way in,
so this test won't help me there, I'll have to think up something a
bit more intricate to test this stuff.
