[Mesa-dev] Any updates on threaded GL dispatch?

[Gregory Hainaut]

Hello Dieter,

I sent all my  patches to Marek. You can find latest code in his
branch https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mareko/mesa/?h=glthread

Status:
* all crashes are fixed
* major piglit bug are fixed
*  asynchronous PBO transfer are done too (useful with persistent PBO)
* I don't know if there is any remaining blocking point.

Remain 2 minors issues that doesn't worth to be fixed IMHO.
* CPU time measure of glxSwap is wrong. But I suspect the test is
wrong as it would love a flush before starting the timer.
* The error type could be wrong when you send too much uniform. Too
much is count * sizeof(uniform data) >= INT_MAX.

Best regards,
Gregory
