Should we go for it?
The bugs that get triggered when you expose GL 4.3+ to UE4 games. Some are ours, some are theirs. Someone needs to sign up for this work. Also, I'd like to mention that ES 3.2 is pretty close as well. But probably not close enough to squeeze in here. Ian has started working on the OES_shader_io_blocks bits of it (which IMO shouldn't be too bad for someone who knows what all GLSL allows and what it doesn't), which was the last remaining big chunk. I have preliminary patches for core support of advanced blending, the rest should all be easy. > > For radeonsi, I think the only other missing bit is qbo and > clear_texture, which may or may not make it in time. I'm in favor of this plan. Nouveau should be ready for Fermi and Kepler once Samuel's images patches for Fermi land (mostly reviewed, had a couple of nits). Maxwell will be missing tess and images, and it's unlikely that either of those will get done in a reasonable period of time. I think we can just flip robustness on... probably not meeting all the provisions of that spec, but ... meh. That said, we should put a cap on this timewise - if e.g. it becomes clear that SIMD32 will take a long time (I think the biggest potential issue of the batch), we should just cut a release. Maybe a 1 month cap? -ilia _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
