[Mesa-dev] how "client glx extensions" and "GLX extensions" are determined (and how best to limit them)

[Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia]

I'm trying to take a stab at adding core profile support to XQuartz.  As a 
first step, I'm trying to add GLX_ARB_create_context and 
GLX_ARB_create_context_profile.

For now, I want to make sure that GLX_ARB_create_context and 
GLX_ARB_create_context_profile are only advertised as being available when in a 
testing mode (so as to not enable breakage by default while working on these 
changes).  To this end, I'm the following to applegl_create_screen:

@@ -183,6 +191,12 @@ applegl_create_screen(int screen, struct glx_display * 
priv)
    glx_screen_init(psc, screen, priv);
    psc->vtable = &applegl_screen_vtable;
 
+   /* Testing support for core profiles is guarded by an envvar for now */
+   if (getenv("LIBGL_PROFILE_CORE")) {
+       __glXEnableDirectExtension(psc, "GLX_ARB_create_context");
+       __glXEnableDirectExtension(psc, "GLX_ARB_create_context_profile");
+   }
+
    return psc;
 }

The goal of this change is that these extensions would only be advertised as 
available to clients if they set the LIBGL_PROFILE_CORE environment variable.  
Unfortunately, it seems that GLX_ARB_create_context and 
GLX_ARB_create_context_profile are always advertised on current mesa.  
__glXExtensionsCtr sets them up as client supported (but not direct supported) 
by default, so I'm confused why they're being listed as available GLX 
extensions when using direct rendering.  Can someone fill me in on how to best 
prevent GLX_ARB_create_context and GLX_ARB_create_context_profile from being 
advertised (short of adding more #ifdef GLX_USE_APPLEGL)?

Thanks,
Jeremy
