[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/3] glsl: on UBO/SSBOs link error, the number of active blocks remains 0

[Timothy Arceri]

Ok. So lets start again. :)

How about changing the subject to:

glsl: on UBO/SSBOs link error reset the number of active blocks to 0

How about we simplify this whole commit message to something like:

While it's legal to have an active blocks count > 0 on link failure.
Unless we actually assign memory for the blocks array we can end up 
segfaulting in calls such as glUniformBlockBinding().

To avoid having to NULL check these api calls we simply reset the
block count to 0 if the array was not created.

And please add a comment here:


                /* Reset the block count. This will help avoid various
                 * segfaults from api calls that assume the array exists
