++Note that Viewperf 12 only runs on 64-bit Windows 7 or later. +
+ ++One of the catia tests calls wglGetProcAddress() to get some +GL_EXT_direct_state_access functions (such as glBindMultiTextureEXT) and some +GL_NV_half_float functions (such as glMultiTexCoord3hNV). +If the extension/function is not supported, wglGetProcAddress() can return NULL. +Unfortunately, Viewperf doesn't check for null pointers and crashes when it +later tries to use the pointer. +
+ ++Another catia test uses OpenGL 3.1's primitive restart feature. +But when Viewperf creates an OpenGL context, it doesn't request version 3.1 +If the driver returns version 3.0 or earlier all the calls related to primitive +restart generate an OpenGL error. +Some of the rendering is then incorrect. +
+ + ++This test creates a 3D luminance texture of size 1K x 1K x 1K. +If the OpenGL driver/device doesn't support a texture of this size +the glTexImage3D() call will fail with GL_INVALID_VALUE or GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY +and all that's rendered is plain white polygons. +Ideally, the test would use a proxy texture to determine the max 3D +texture size. But it does not do that. +
+ ++This test generates many GL_INVALID_OPERATION errors in its calls to +glUniform(). +Causes include: +
+Apparently, the indexes returned by glGetUniformLocation() were hard-coded +into the application trace when it was created. +Since different implementations of glGetUniformLocation() may return different +values for any given uniform name, subsequent calls to glUniform() will be +invalid since they refer to the wrong uniform variables. +This causes many OpenGL errors and leads to incorrect rendering. +
+ +
+This test uses a single GLSL fragment shader which contains a GLSL 1.20
+array initializer statement, but it neglects to specify
+#version 120
at the top of the shader code.
+So, the shader does not compile and all that's rendered is plain white polygons.
+
+This is actually a DX11 test based on Autodesk's Showcase product. +As such, it won't run with Mesa. +
