Classic is gone, and the cleanups have begun, obviously. There is another cleanup that I had in mind, which is moving src/mesa into src/gallium/frontends/mesa. This makes the build system a little cleaner, as currently we do some bending over backwards to get gallium, mesa, and their tests built in the right order. But that's a big ol `git mv`, and when I proposed it Dave and Ilia suggested it would be best to do all of the post-classic code motion at once. So, let's talk about what we want to move, and where we want to move it.
Among the suggestions we had were:
1. Move src/mesa into src/gallium/frontends/mesa (I have patches for
this)
Seems like a pretty obvoius thing to do, given that all of the other
gallium state trackers live there (OpenCL, video, d3d9, etc)
2. Move src/compiler/glsl into src/gallium/frontends/mesa as well
Given that there are now no? drivers that use GLSL-IR directly, it
might make sense to move the glsl compiler into the mesa
state_tracker, and just have that lower to TGSI or NIR, and treat
GLSL-IR as an implementation detail of the OpenGL frontend.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of code outside of glsl that uses the
linked list implementation in the glsl compiler, and not the on in
util.
3. Move src/gallium* to src/
This was suggested, though given the existance of Vulkan, it wasn't
clear that this was a good idea or not
4. What to do about the src/loader, src/glx, src/egl, src/mapi,
src/glapi
These are all part of OpenGL, but not really part of gallium, but if
we don't move src/gallium/* to src/ does it make sense to leave them
in the root?
Cheers,
Dylan
