memory that is local to a thread. > > ureg_DECL_local_temporary seems like a good match.

It's much more of a memory area than a TEMP area though. TEMP's imply 16-byte wide stride for indirect indexing, etc -- not easy to work with. A file with ways to indicate global/shared/local seems better to me. I thought we could just use BUFFER's for that, but if you prefer yet-another file, that's fine too. -ilia _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
