Development Notes

+ + +

Adding Extentions

+ +

+To add a new GL extension to Mesa you have to do at least the following. + +

+ If glext.h doesn't define the extension, edit include/GL/gl.h and add + code like this: +

+     #ifndef GL_EXT_the_extension_name
+     #define GL_EXT_the_extension_name 1
+     /* declare the new enum tokens */
+     /* prototype the new functions */
+     /* TYPEDEFS for the new functions */
+     #endif
+

+ In the src/mesa/glapi/ directory, add the new extension functions and + enums to the gl_API.xml file. + Then, a bunch of source files must be regenerated by executing the + corresponding Python scripts. +
+ Add a new entry to the gl_extensions struct in mtypes.h +
+ Update the extensions.c file. +
+ From this point, the best way to proceed is to find another extension, + similar to the new one, that's already implemented in Mesa and use it + as an example. +
+ If the new extension adds new GL state, the functions in get.c, enable.c + and attrib.c will most likely require new code. +

+ + + +

Coding Style

+ +

+Mesa's code style has changed over the years. Here's the latest. +

+ +

+Comment your code! It's extremely important that open-source code be +well documented. Also, strive to write clean, easily understandable code. +

+ +

+3-space indentation +

+ +

+If you use tabs, set them to 8 columns +

+ +

+Brace example: +

+	if (condition) {
+	   foo;
+	}
+	else {
+	   bar;
+	}
+

+ +

+Here's the GNU indent command which will best approximate my preferred style: +

+	indent -br -i3 -npcs --no-tabs infile.c -o outfile.c
+

+ + +

+Local variable name example: localVarName (no underscores) +

+ +

+Constants and macros are ALL_UPPERCASE, with _ between words +

+ +

+Global variables are not allowed. +

+ +

+Function name examples: +

+	glFooBar()       - a public GL entry point (in dispatch.c)
+	_mesa_FooBar()   - the internal immediate mode function
+	save_FooBar()    - retained mode (display list) function in dlist.c
+	foo_bar()        - a static (private) function
+	_mesa_foo_bar()  - an internal non-static Mesa function
+

+ + +

Making a New Mesa Release

+ +

+These are the instructions for making a new Mesa release. +

+ +

Get latest source files

+Use git to get the latest Mesa files from the git repository, from whatever +branch is relevant. +

+ + +

Verify and update version info

+Create/edit the docs/relnotes-x.y.html file to document what's new in the release. +Add the new relnotes-x.y.html file to relnotes.html. +

+ +

+Update the MESA_MAJOR, MESA_MINOR and MESA_TINY version numbers in +configs/default. +Also update the VERSION line in the top-level Makefile. +

+ +

+Make sure the values in src/mesa/main/version.h are correct. +

+ +

+Update the docs/news.html file and docs/download.html files. +

+ +

+Check in all updates to git. +

+ +

+Tag the files with the release name (in the form mesa_X_Y) +with: git tag -a mesa_X_Y +Then: git push origin mesa_X_Y +

+ + +

Make the tarballs

+Make a symbolic link from $(DIRECTORY) to 'Mesa'. For example, +ln -s Mesa Mesa-7.5 +This is needed in order to make a correct tar file in the next step. +

+ +

+Make the distribution files. From inside the Mesa directory: +

+	make tarballs
+

+ +

+After the tarballs are created, the md5 checksums for the files will +be computed. +Add them to the docs/relnotes-X.Y.html file. +

+ +

+Copy the distribution files to a temporary directory, unpack them, +compile everything, and run some demos to be sure everything works. +

+ +

Update the website and announce the release

+Follow the directions on SourceForge for creating a new "release" and +uploading the tarballs. +

+ +

+Basically, to upload the tarball files with: +
++rsync -avP ssh Mesa*-X.Y.* USERNAME@frs.sourceforge.net:uploads/ + +

+ +

+Update the web site by copying the docs/ directory's files to +/home/users/b/br/brianp/mesa-www/htdocs/ with: +
++sftp USERNAME,mesa3d@web.sourceforge.net + +

+ +

+Make an announcement on the mailing lists: +mesa3d-dev@lists.sf.net, +mesa3d-users@lists.sf.net +and +mesa3d-announce@lists.sf.net +

+ + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
