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.
