[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] Remove error when calling glGenQueries/glDeleteQueries while a query is active

[Carl Worth]

There is nothing in the OpenGL specification which prevents the user from
calling glGenQueries to generate a new query object while another object is
active. Neither is there anything in the Mesa implementation which prevents
this. So remove the INVALID_OPERATION errors in this case.

Similarly, it is explicitly allowed by the OpenGL specification to delete an
active query, so remove the assertion for that case and be sure to call the
driver's EndQuery hook.

Thanks, Brian. That certainly does justify where the original code came
from.

I can't find any similar error requirement in the OpenGL 4.4 (Core)
specification. (And with the increased number of different query types,
it doesn't seem that the error requirement makes sense.) I did find the
following sentence in the specification (section 4.2):

	If an active query object is deleted its name immediately
	becomes unused, but the underlying object is not deleted until
	it is no longer active.

This sentence presumes the possibility of deleting an active query, so I
think it is reasonable to remove the error.

Thanks for the catch. My revised patch below calls the driver's EndQuery
hook, which will hopefully avoid this problem. This does inactivate the
query immediately at delete time, which might seem inconsistent with the
sentence I quoted from the specification above. But I think this is fine
since once the object is deleted the user has no visibility into whether
the object is active or not.
