OpenGL 1.2 is required.
|
||
|
|
The extension is written against the OpenGL 1.2 Specification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Provides the application with means to enable and disable logging
|
||
|
|
of GL calls including parameters as readable text. The verbosity
|
||
|
|
of the generated log can be controlled. The resulting logs are
|
||
|
|
valid (but possibly incomplete) C code and can be compiled and
|
||
|
|
linked for standalone test programs. The set of calls and the
|
||
|
|
amount of static data that is logged can be controlled at runtime.
|
||
|
|
The application can add comments and enable or disable tracing of GL
|
||
|
|
operations at any time. The data flow from the application to GL
|
||
|
|
and back is unaffected except for timing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Application-side implementation of these features raises namespace
|
||
|
|
and linkage issues. In the driver dispatch table a simple
|
||
|
|
"chain of responsibility" pattern (aka "composable piepline")
|
||
|
|
can be added.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IP Status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The extension spec is in the public domain. The current implementation
|
||
|
|
in Mesa is covered by Mesa's XFree86-style copyright by the authors above.
|
||
|
|
This extension is partially inspired by the Quake2 QGL wrapper.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) Is this Extension obsolete because it can
|
||
|
|
be implemented as a wrapper DLL?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RESOLVED: No. While certain operating systems (Win32) provide linkers
|
||
|
|
that facilitate this kind of solution, other operating systems
|
||
|
|
(Linux) do not support hierarchical linking, so a wrapper solution
|
||
|
|
would result in symbol collisions.
|
||
|
|
Further, IHV's might have builtin support for tracing GL execution
|
||
|
|
that enjoys privileged access, or that they do not wish to separate
|
||
|
|
the tracing code from their driver code base.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2) Should the Trace API explicitely support the notion of "frames?
|
||
|
|
This would require hooking into glXSwapBuffers calls as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RESOLVED: No. The application can use NewTraceMESA/EndTraceMESA
|
||
|
|
and TraceComment along with external parsing tools to split the
|
||
|
|
trace into frames, in whatever way considered adequate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2a) Should GLX calls be traced?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PBuffers and other render-to-texture solutions demonstrate that
|
||
|
|
context level commands beyond SwapBuffers might have to be
|
||
|
|
traced. The GL DLL exports the entry points, so this would not
|
||
|
|
be out of the question.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(3) Should the specification mandate the actual output format?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RESOLVED: No. It is sufficient to guarantee that all data and commands
|
||
|
|
will be traced as requested by Enable/DisableTraceMESA, in the order
|
||
|
|
encountered. Whether the resulting trace is available as a readable
|
||
|
|
text file, binary metafile, compilable source code, much less which
|
||
|
|
indentation and formatting has been used, is up to the implementation.
|
||
|
|
For the same reason this specification does not enforce or prohibit
|
||
|
|
additional information added to the trace (statistics, profiling/timing,
|
||
|
|
warnings on possible error conditions).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(4) Should the comment strings associated with names and pointer (ranges)
|
||
|
|
be considered persistent state?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RESOLVED: No. The implementation is not forced to use this information
|
||
|
|
on subsequent occurences of name/pointer, and is free to consider it
|
||
|
|
transient state.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(5) Should comment commands be prohibited between Begin/End?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RESOLVED: Yes, with the exception of TraceCommentMESA. TraceCommentMESA
|
||
|
|
is transient, the other commands might cause storage of persistent
|
||
|
|
data in the context. There is no need to have the ability mark names
|
||
|
|
or pointers between Begin and End.

5.7 Tracing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tracing facility is used to record the execution of a GL program
|
||
|
|
to a human-readable log. The log appears as a sequence of GL commands
|
||
|
|
using C syntax. The primary intention of tracing is to aid in program
|
||
|
|
debugging.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A trace is started with the command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void NewTraceMESA( bitfield mask, const GLubyte * traceName )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<mask> may be any value accepted by PushAttrib and specifies a set of
|
||
|
|
attribute groups. The state values included in those attribute groups
|
||
|
|
is written to the trace as a sequence of GL commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<traceName> specifies a name or label for the trace. It is expected
|
||
|
|
that <traceName> will be interpreted as a filename in most implementations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A trace is ended by calling the command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void EndTraceMESA( void )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is illegal to call NewTraceMESA or EndTraceMESA between Begin and End.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The commands
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void EnableTraceMESA( bitfield mask )
|
||
|
|
void DisableTraceMESA( bitfield mask )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
enable or disable tracing of different classes of GL commands.
|
||
|
|
<mask> may be the union of any of TRACE_OPERATIONS_BIT_MESA,
|
||
|
|
TRACE_PRIMITIVES_BIT_MESA, TRACE_ARRAYS_BIT_MESA, TRACE_TEXTURES_BIT_MESA,
|
||
|
|
and TRACE_PIXELS_BIT_MESA. The special token TRACE_ALL_BITS_MESA
|
||
|
|
indicates all classes of commands are to be logged.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TRACE_OPERATIONS_BIT_MESA controls logging of all commands outside of
|
||
|
|
Begin/End, including Begin/End.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TRACE_PRIMITIVES_BIT_MESA controls logging of all commands inside of
|
||
|
|
Begin/End, including Begin/End.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TRACE_ARRAYS_BIT_MESA controls logging of VertexPointer, NormalPointer,
|
||
|
|
ColorPointer, IndexPointer, TexCoordPointer and EdgeFlagPointer commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TRACE_TEXTURES_BIT_MESA controls logging of texture data dereferenced by
|
||
|
|
TexImage1D, TexImage2D, TexImage3D, TexSubImage1D, TexSubImage2D, and
|
||
|
|
TexSubImage3D commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TRACE_PIXELS_BIT_MESA controls logging of image data dereferenced by
|
||
|
|
Bitmap and DrawPixels commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TRACE_ERRORS_BIT_MESA controls logging of all errors. If this bit is
|
||
|
|
set, GetError will be executed whereever applicable, and the result will
|
||
|
|
be added to the trace as a comment. The error returns are cached and
|
||
|
|
returned to the application on its GetError calls. If the user does not
|
||
|
|
wish the additional GetError calls to be performed, this bit should not
|
||
|
|
be set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void TraceCommentMESA( const ubyte* comment )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
immediately adds the <comment> string to the trace output, surrounded
|
||
|
|
by C-style comment delimiters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The commands
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void TraceTextureMESA( uint name, const ubyte* comment )
|
||
|
|
void TraceListMESA( uint name, const ubyte* comment )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
associates <comment> with the texture object or display list specified
|
||
|
|
by <name>. Logged commands which reference the named texture object or
|
||
|
|
display list will be annotated with <comment>. If IsTexture(name) or
|
||
|
|
IsList(name) fail (respectively) the command is quietly ignored.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The commands
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void TracePointerMESA( void* pointer, const ubyte* comment )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void TracePointerRangeMESA( const void* first,
|
||
|
|
const void* last,
|
||
|
|
const ubyte* comment )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
associate <comment> with the address specified by <pointer> or with
|
||
|
|
a range of addresses specified by <first> through <last>.
|
||
|
|
Any logged commands which reference <pointer> or an address between
|
||
|
|
<first> and <last> will be annotated with <comment>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void TraceAssertAttribMESA( bitfield attribMask )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
will add GL state queries and assertion statements to the log to
|
||
|
|
confirm that the current state at the time TraceAssertAttrib is
|
||
|
|
executed matches the current state when the trace log is executed
|
||
|
|
in the future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<attribMask> is any value accepted by PushAttrib and specifies
|
||
|
|
the groups of state variables which are to be asserted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The commands NewTraceMESA, EndTraceMESA, EnableTraceMESA, DisableTraceMESA,
|
||
|
|
TraceAssertAttribMESA, TraceCommentMESA, TraceTextureMESA, TraceListMESA,
|
||
|
|
TracePointerMESA and TracePointerRangeMESA are not compiled into display lists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command NewTraceMESA(DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT, "log") will query the state
|
||
|
|
variables DEPTH_TEST, DEPTH_FUNC, DEPTH_WRITEMASK, and DEPTH_CLEAR_VALUE
|
||
|
|
to get the values <test>, <func>, <mask>, and <clear> respectively.
|
||
|
|
Statements equivalent to the following will then be logged:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); (if <test> is true)
|
||
|
|
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); (if <test> is false)
|
||
|
|
glDepthFunc(<func>);
|
||
|
|
glDepthMask(<mask>);
|
||
|
|
glClearDepth(<clear>);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command TraceAssertAttribMESA(DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT) will query the state
|
||
|
|
variables DEPTH_TEST, DEPTH_FUNC, DEPTH_WRITEMASK, and DEPTH_CLEAR_VALUE
|
||
|
|
to get the values <test>, <func>, <mask>, and <clear> respectively.
|
||
|
|
The resulting trace might then look will like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
GLboolean b;
|
||
|
|
GLint i;
|
||
|
|
GLfloat f;
|
||
|
|
b = glIsEnabled(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
|
||
|
|
assert(b == <test>);
|
||
|
|
glGetIntegerv(GL_DEPTH_FUNC, &i);
|
||
|
|
assert(i == <func>);
|
||
|
|
glGetIntegerv(GL_DEPTH_MASK, &i);
|
||
|
|
assert(i == <mask>);
|
||
|
|
glGetFloatv(GL_DEPTH_CLEAR_VALUE, &f);
|
||
|
|
assert(f == <clear>);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additions to Chapter 6 of the OpenGL 1.2.1 Specification
|
||
|
|
(State and State Requests)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Querying TRACE_MASK_MESA with GetIntegerv, GetFloatv, GetBooleanv or
|
||
|
|
GetDoublev returns the current command class trace mask.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Querying TRACE_NAME_MESA with GetString returns the current trace name.
|
||
|
|

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additions to Appendix A of the OpenGL 1.2.1 Specification (Invariance)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MESA_trace extension can be used in a way that does not affect data
|
||
|
|
flow from application to OpenGL, as well as data flow from OpenGL to
|
||
|
|
application, except for timing, possible print I/O. TRACE_ERRORS_BIT_MESA
|
||
|
|
will add additional GetError queries. Setting a trace mask with NewTraceMESA
|
||
|
|
as well as use of TraceAssertAttribMESA might cause additional state queries.
|
||
|
|
With the possible exception of performance, OpenGL rendering should not be
|
||
|
|
affected at all by a properly chosen logging operation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additions to the AGL/GLX/WGL Specifications
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GLX Protocol
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None. The logging operation is carried out client-side, by exporting
|
||
|
|
entry points to the wrapper functions that execute the logging operation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Errors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
INVALID_OPERATION is generated if any trace command except TraceCommentMESA
|
||
|
|
is called between Begin and End.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New State
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current trace name and current command class mask are stored
|
||
|
|
per-context.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
New Implementation Dependent State
|
||
|
|
|
