This extension - only provides the minimal hooks required to implement a debugger. - - There are facilities to do the following: - 1. Have the GL call a user-specified function prior to executing - each vertex or fragment instruction. - 2. Query the current program string's execution position. - 3. Query the current values of intermediate program values. - - The main feature is the ProgramCallbackMESA function. It allows the - user to register a callback function with the GL. The callback will - be called prior to executing each vertex or fragment program instruction. - - From within the callback, the user may issue Get* commands to - query current GL state. The GetProgramRegisterfvMESA function allows - current program values to be queried (such as temporaries, input - attributes, and result registers). - - There are flags for enabling/disabling the program callbacks. - - The current execution position (as an offset from the start of the - program string) can be queried with - GetIntegerv(GL_FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_POSITION_MESA, &pos) or - GetIntegerv(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_POSITION_MESA, &pos). - - -IP Status - - None - -Issues - - 1. Is this the right model for a debugger? - - It seems prudent to minimize the scope of this extension and leave - it up to the developer (or developer community) to write debuggers - that layer on top of this extension. - - If the debugger were fully implemented within the GL it's not - clear how terminal and GUI-based interfaces would work, for - example. - - 2. There aren't any other extensions that register callbacks with - the GL. Isn't there another solution? - - If we want to be able to single-step through vertex/fragment - programs I don't see another way to do it. - - 3. How do we prevent the user from doing something crazy in the - callback function, like trying to call glBegin (leading to - recursion)? - - The rule is that the callback function can only issue glGet*() - functions and no other GL commands. It could be difficult to - enforce this, however. Therefore, calling any non-get GL - command from within the callback will result in undefined - results. - - 4. Is this extension amenable to hardware implementation? - - Hopefully, but if not, the GL implementation will have to fall - back to a software path when debugging. This may be acceptable - for debugging. - - 5. What's the <data> parameter to ProgramCallbackMESA for? - - It's a common programming practice to associate a user-supplied - value with callback functions. - - 6. Debuggers often allow one to modify intermediate program values, - then continue. Does this extension support that? - - No. - - -New Procedures and Functions (and datatypes) - - typedef void (*programcallbackMESA)(enum target, void *data) - - void ProgramCallbackMESA(enum target, programcallbackMESA callback, - void *data) - - void GetProgramRegisterfvMESA(enum target, sizei len, - const ubyte *registerName, float *v) - -New Tokens - - Accepted by the <cap> parameter of Enable, Disable, IsEnabled, - GetBooleanv, GetDoublev, GetFloatv and GetIntegerv: - - FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_CALLBACK_MESA 0x8bb1 - VERTEX_PROGRAM_CALLBACK_MESA 0x8bb4 - - Accepted by the <pname> parameter GetBooleanv, GetDoublev, - GetFloatv and GetIntegerv: - - FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_POSITION_MESA 0x8bb0 - VERTEX_PROGRAM_POSITION_MESA 0x8bb4 - - Accepted by the <pname> parameter of GetPointerv: - - FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_CALLBACK_FUNC_MESA 0x8bb2 - FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_CALLBACK_DATA_MESA 0x8bb3 - VERTEX_PROGRAM_CALLBACK_FUNC_MESA 0x8bb6 - VERTEX_PROGRAM_CALLBACK_DATA_MESA 0x8bb7 - -Additions to Chapter 2 of the OpenGL 1.4 Specification (OpenGL Operation) - - None. - -Additions to Chapter 3 of the OpenGL 1.4 Specification (Rasterization) - - None. - -Additions to Chapter 4 of the OpenGL 1.4 Specification (Per-Fragment -Operations and the Frame Buffer) - - None. - -Additions to Chapter 5 of the OpenGL 1.4 Specification (Special Functions) - - In section 5.4 "Display Lists", page 202, add the following command - to the list of those that are not compiled into display lists: - - ProgramCallbackMESA. - - - Add a new section 5.7 "Callback Functions" - - The function - - void ProgramCallbackMESA(enum target, programcallbackMESA callback, - void *data) - - registers a user-defined callback function with the GL. <target> - may be FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_ARB or VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB. The enabled - callback functions registered with these targets will be called - prior to executing each instruction in the current fragment or - vertex program, respectively. The callbacks are enabled and - disabled by calling Enable or Disable with <cap> - FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_ARB or VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB. - - The callback function's signature must match the typedef - - typedef void (*programcallbackMESA)(enum target, void *data) - - When the callback function is called, <target> will either be - FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_ARB or VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB to indicate which - program is currently executing and <data> will be the value - specified when ProgramCallbackMESA was called. - - From within the callback function, only the following GL commands - may be called: - - GetBooleanv - GetDoublev - GetFloatv - GetIntegerv - GetProgramLocalParameter - GetProgramEnvParameter - GetProgramRegisterfvMESA - GetProgramivARB - GetProgramStringARB - GetError - - Calling any other command from within the callback results in - undefined behaviour. - - -Additions to Chapter 6 of the OpenGL 1.4 Specification (State and -State Requests) - - Add a new section 6.1.3 "Program Value Queries": - - The command - - void GetProgramRegisterfvMESA(enum target, sizei len, - const ubyte *registerName, - float *v) - - Is used to query the value of program variables and registers - during program execution. GetProgramRegisterfvMESA may only be - called from within a callback function registered with - ProgramCallbackMESA. - - <registerName> and <len> specify the name a variable, input - attribute, temporary, or result register in the program string. - The current value of the named variable is returned as four - values in <v>.
