[Mesa-dev] build failure: _mesa_BindAttribLocation vs _mesa_lookup_shader_program_err , GLuint vs GLhandleARB
I'm getting this build failure:
main/shader_query.cpp:49:7: error: no matching function for call to
'_mesa_lookup_shader_program_err'
_mesa_lookup_shader_program_err(ctx, program, "glBindAttribLocation");
^~~
../../src/mesa/main/shaderobj.h:81:1: note: candidate function not viable:
cannot convert argument of incomplete type 'GLhandleARB'
(aka 'void *') to 'GLuint' (aka 'unsigned int')
_mesa_lookup_shader_program_err(struct gl_context *ctx, GLuint name,
^
_mesa_lookup_shader_program_err is defined as:
extern struct gl_shader_program *
_mesa_lookup_shader_program_err(struct gl_context *ctx, GLuint name,
const char *caller);
but it is being passed a GLhandleARB rather than an GLuint by
_mesa_BindAttribLocation:
void GLAPIENTRY
_mesa_BindAttribLocation(GLhandleARB program, GLhandleARB index,
const GLcharARB *name)
{
GET_CURRENT_CONTEXT(ctx);
struct gl_shader_program *const shProg =
_mesa_lookup_shader_program_err(ctx, program, "glBindAttribLocation");
...
This seems like an old bug that is just now coming to light. The main reason
nobody else seems to have hit this in a while is that on most platforms,
GLhandleARB and GLuint are both 'unsigned integer', so the compiler happily
goes back and forth between the two, but on darwin, GLhandleARB is a void * and
thus cannot be implicitly cast to an unsigned int:
#ifdef __APPLE__
typedef void *GLhandleARB;
#else
typedef unsigned int GLhandleARB;
#endif
How should we address this? I'd really really really prefer to not have to put
a bunch of casts everywhere, and I'm ok breaking binary compatibility on darwin
in fixing this.

Hi Jeremy,
IIRC there was another location where the above typedef gave us the finger.
Not entirety sure what the conclusion on the topic was and I believe that some
of the patches did not get accepted as they would break our current libGL <>
DRI ABI. The discussion (starting with a few patches) is available in the ML
archives [1].

Thanks for the pointer. +Brian and Ian from the March thread.
As I understand it, the only platforms where fixing this could break the DRI
ABI are the ones where GLhandleARB and GLuint do not have the same underlying
type. The only platform where that is the case is darwin, which doesn't use
that code (hence why I mentioned above that I wasn't concerned about fixing
this breaking binary compatibility on darwin). Can someone explain how chaning
some GLuint types to GLhandleARB (or visa versa) could break ABI on other
systems? I just don't see why that would be the case.

That doesn't seem right to me. Why would the driver only set one entry? As it
knows (or at least assumes) that both are the same, it seems understandable
that it would just ask libGL for one of the functions, but it should set both
entries in its dispatch table to that value. Having a NULL entry for one of
those functions seems like an obvious bug at the driver level. Is the
application layer really responsible for knowing about what aliasing is being
done at the driver level? That's a rather big violation of the abstraction
that I'd expect to be present.
Also, in the earlier thread, Ian said, "I can't understand why we'd break our
own ABI because of something silly that Apple did. This feels like madness."
... if I recall, the issue wasn't that Apple did "something silly," the issue
was that GLhandleARB was underspecified and different vendors implemented it
differently. Apple is no more "at fault" for making it sized to a pointer
(which is actually much more "safe" given ambiguity) than Mesa is "at fault"
for fixing it at a 32bit unsigned integer. The real issue here is that mesa is
mixing GLhandleARB and GLuint when it shouldn't be and has made other design
decisions which make fixing bugs like this difficult.
