[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/6] Some glapi clean-up releated to GLES

[Ian Romanick]

Tomorrow or Friday I'm going to send out the last of the
GL_ARB_separate_shader_objects patches.  Shortly after that, I will send
out patches to enable GL_EXT_separate_shader_objects on GLES.  This EXT
is the GLES subset of the ARB extension.

In preparing for this new extension, I noticed the old problem that any
extension function that aliases a core function (whether it is core in
GLES or desktop GL) isn't hidden.  This series should fix that.

Longer term, I'd like to change the generation of libGL*.  Right now all
the information describing the interfaces and the information selecting
the exposed interfaces in combined in a single XML database.  As patch 4
shows, that makes it impossible to have a single function that is
exposed in one API but hidden in another.  I'd like to pull all the
"offset", "static_dispatch", "glx_ignore", and "exec" information out
into separate files.

This will mean that adding a new extension will require changes to
multiple files.  The usual XML bits will need to be added.  Entries will
need to be add to per-libGL* files, an "exec" file, and an "offsets".
We can probably get rid of the offsets file since no functions will ever
be added that have static offsets.
