Oh, my accidental use of -release was the whole starting point of discussion,
so I know that one. :)

Then, if we don't know the correct filename (except in special cases where
there is something like an ABI) we can let libtool decide. After all it's its
job! If we stumble across a system with an ABI we might be violating, we can
still incorporate a special-case treatment.

Exactly. So we should really leave the naming to libtool. As hinted in my
other post, we should use the CURRENT/AGE reverse calculation only as a means
to produce valid CURRENT/AGE from OpenGL standard version numbers, not to
influence the library naming at all.

As for ABI-compliance:
On Linux, for example, we use the configure script to check that the linker
supports the -soname flag and use that to set the correct SONAME on the library
object. Also we include an install-hook that checks whether libtool created a
library with the correct name (libGL.so.1 - the SONAME). If it didn't, it
creates a link to that which was created.

Here's the pseudo-code for the install-hook, do you think this would be OK to
do on systems identified as Linux?

install-hook:
        if test `find .libs/ -name libGL.so.1 | grep -c libGL.so.1` != 1; then
          libfile=`find .libs/* -not -type l -not -name '*.lai'`
          if test 'echo $libfile | grep -c $libfile` = 1; then
            ln -s @libdir@/$libfile @libdir@/libGL.so.1
          else
            echo "ABI conformance error! Libtool created a library whose name"
            echo "does not conform to the Linux OpenGL ABI and we were unable"
            echo "to find the name it did use. Therefore a workaround is"
            echo "impossible."
            echo "*** Your Mesa3D installation does NOT conform to the Linux"
            echo "*** OpenGL ABI!
          fi
        fi
uninstall-hook:
        rm -f @libdir@/libGL.so.1 # just in case

So you mean, we should include the library depedencies in our library objects?

 because libtool defines non negative as:

    0 | [1-9] | [1-9][0-9] | [1-9][0-9][0-9]

 i.e., it not only can't start with 0, it can only have three digits.  I
 suspect this has to do with some funny test or expr implementation.  Or
 perhaps they thought three digits would be enough.  Or maybe some sick
 linker uses integers to store this info.
 
 Hmm... funky that '0 | [1-9]' bit...

 That's the whole point: you don't.  That's the reason for libtoo's
 libfoo.la files.

 The two things are coupled because "baptizing" the library is part of
 the linking process.  Off the top of my head, MIPSpro does this using a
 linker program and a -soname flag while GNU CC does it using the
 compiler (the frontend really, which ends up calling the GNU linker)
 and a "-Wl,-soname," flag (for GNU CC it does make a difference if you
 use the linker or the gcc frontend).

 The solution you propose with CURRENT:AGE:REVISION works for Linux and
 other systems, but it's not portable (HP-UX is a good example, barring
 the fact that dynamic libraries are called libfoo.sl instead of
 libfoo.so, you'll note there aren't any libfoo.sl.1.2, only libfoo.1).
 There's no way to get the "correct" version number on every
 architecture, that's why libtool doesn't offer that possibility.

 Which reminds me of something else: inter-library dependencies, which
 libtool does support on systems that support it.  It means, for
 example, that libGL.so.1 is linked against libpthread.so.0,
 libXext.so.6, libX11.so.6 and libdl.so.2.  That is, the library itself
 uses functions from those libraries.  This is the difference between:

 $ cc -o gears gears.c -lglut

 and

 $ cc -o gears gears.c -lglut -lGL -lGLU -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXmu -lXext \
 -lXi -lX11 -lm

 (I think those all all) in this case libglut contains "NEEDED" entries
 for all those libraries.  All you need to change is:

 $ cc -o libfoo.so.1.2.3 foo.o bar.o baz.o -Wl,-shared,libfoo.so.1

 to

 $ cc -o libfoo.so.1.2.3 foo.o bar.o baz.o -Wl,-shared,libfoo.so.1 \
 -lfi -lfai -lfo

 (but again, this varies from compiler to compiler and that's why
 libtool performs some magick when it sees something like this)

Right, I figured it would be something like that. Nice to know for sure
though (I've personally never seen any other linker than GNU ld on Linux. :/).

We can pass the SONAME explicitly to the linker via libtool (or can't we?) !
Then we can let libtool do pretty much anything it wants with the name.
Additionally, I suggest we do use my idea about reverse-calculating the
version-info, because it doesn't break anything, gives us a fixed way of
knowing the version-info even though we don't control the interface, and it
leaves us with our usual naming conventions at least on Linux and those some
others.

Right, but 10 minor numbers isn't all too much. We'll likely run short sooner
or later.

I'll try to look the cause of this up myself and enquire about it with the
libtool guys as soon as we wrap this discussion up.

This is really a nightmare. How can we have libtool solve the problem of
portable linking for us while still controlling the name of the resulting
library. Anyhow, if other linkers have such different ways of doing things,
how are we supposed to know the correct file name anyhow??

 This is not generally true (it holds true for Linux, and BSD, IIRC,
 among others)

 The soname is embedded in the library (try readelf -d libfoo | grep
 SONAME on some dynamic library on your system).  The compiler (linker,
 really) reads this information and writes in on the object it produces
 (grep for NEEDED instead of SONAME).  The dynamic linker reads this
 from the object and maps it to a filename.  The dynamic linker can
 perfom other tricks (like loading optimized versions of a library) but
 that's outside the scope of this discussion.

 It's not documented because it's not portable.  Some dynamic linkers
 have more features, some less (IRIX's and AIX's, respectively IIRC).

 I missed Sven's post.  Please don't do this.  It breaks binary
 compatibility.  On Linux, among others, the soname would end up being
 libGL.so.0, which means programs compiled with this version of libGL
 would require a libGL.so.0 in order to run.  The symbolic links only
 solve the other problem (compiled with libGL.so.1 and run with

 It has.  Please don't use it, it's a headache. (-release-info).  The
 problem libtool solves doesn't exist in the case of a GL library,
 namely, how do you ensure you aren't breaking binary compatibility on a
 given plataform?  Some dynamic linkers have the concept of library
 versions, some don't.  And those that have it, don't share it with the
 other (not always, at least).  When you use libtool, you place your

 the two solutions are coupled.

Thanks for the explanation.  I think we're pretty much in agreement actually.
As long as the library's internal SONAME is "libGL.so.1" and we've got the
libGL.so.1 and libGL.so symlinks we shouldn't break linking with existing
applications.

It's a shame that revision = 030500 doesn't directly work.  I could probably
live with revision = 350 as you mentioned in your followup...

I'm curious why revision 30500 doesn't work.  Do you know if the revision
is stored as a number or a string?  I'd at least ask the libtool people why
30500 doesn't work.

[Mesa3d-dev] libtool problem

[Sven M. H. <pe...@gm...>]

Hi,

while trying to apply the libtool technique I suggested I found this: libtool
doesn't accept 30500 as a "nonnegative integer" either. ?:o
I've tried 350 and it works, so I guess this is just an arbitrary limit on the
number of digits. Should I ask the libtool people for help?

I've commited this version to CVS already so the package at least builds for
now, using libtool 1.4.

FYI: the commit message got corrupted on the way because I used spaces instead
of tabs, so don't wonder.

Those long-established conventions are reflected in the ABI. That's why I
suggested to create a symlink for the name libGL.so.1. However, that name (as
I overlooked) conflicts directly with the libtool scheme. See all the way
below for a solution.

No it shouldn't. See below.

The point is that what libtool places there where you want to put a version
number is not a version number at all. It's a certain code describing the
interfaces a library exports. That's also the reason why libtool performs that
check: Using traditional version numbers would result in interface information
that doesn't make sense. This could lead the dynamic linker to not linking a
program because the library it finds doesn't appear suitable, although it is.


I have just played around with libtool a bit because I was curious how it
would actually go about enforcing the run-time checking of the interfaces.
I found out that it actually uses (at least on Linux, that is) a _file_
_name_ scheme very (I'd like to say _exactly_) similar to the version
numbering scheme used by the OpenGL standard, which is (correct me if I'm
wrong) to reserve interface changes to major releases, keeping backwards
compatibility among all releases with the same major number.
 
Now what libtool does:
Out of the interface numbers CURRENT, REVISION and AGE (assuming you know
their meaning) it computes a version number of the form M.m.r
like this:
  M = CURRENT-AGE
  m = AGE
  r = REVISION
The name of the binary becomes:
  libX.so.M.m.r
Two symbolic links to it are created:
  libX.so
  libX.so.M
The resemblence to what we're used to is astonishing! However, the final part
is the one that is important, because it is the one that produces the run-time
interface checking semantics I was looking for:

Executables are linked using -soname=libX.so.M !

That naming convention, combined with the rules for the CURRENT, AGE, and
REVISION numbers from the libtool documentation have the effect that any
library which obsoletes some interface ("increment CURRENT, reset AGE") gets a
new major number while those that keep the old interfaces ("increment CURRENT
and AGE") retain the same M.

I don't know, maybe that discovery isn't new to you, but at least I couldn't
directly derive this from the libtool docs. :}


Anyways, knowing how libtool naming works and that OpenGL versioning is
compatible with it we can probably safely reverse the whole thing and
calculate libtool-style CURRENT and AGE from OpenGL M and m. :)

With M=1, m=2: CURRENT=3, AGE=2. Finally we can set REVISION to the Mesa
version number. Libtool doesn't allow leading zeroes, though; it wants nice
and plain integers. I say we just compute a nice and plain integer for it:

With Mesa major, minor and release numbers being MM, Mm, and Mr respectively:
  r = MM * 10^4 + Mm * 10^2 + Mr
I know this will effectively drop the leading zero, but I think we could
accept that compromise.

So there:
libGL.so.1.2.30500
libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2.30500
libGL.so -> libGL.so.1


My fingers hurt.

I've been using the libGL.so.1.2.0x0y0z convention for a while now and
people seem to like it.  I really don't want to change the convention
yet again.

I realize that libtool tries to formalize the version numbers assigned to
a library and that's fine.  But sometimes a library has to be numbered
according to long-established conventions that don't match libtool's
method.

IMHO, libtool should have an option to support arbitrary version numbers.

Anyway, we seemed to have made libtools accept the 1.2.0x0y0z convention
in recent versions.  Why can't we continue with that?

[Mesa3d-dev] Linux-x86 FAST_MATH macros in mmath.h

[Gareth H. <ga...@va...>]

After discussions with Brian and Josh, I'm adding an fnclex instruction
to the END_FAST_MATH macro to clear any FP exceptions that may have
occurred in the FAST_MATH block.  It seems pointless to have a
GCC-specific END_FAST_MATH, when I can convert the entire block to
inline assembly and get rid of the _FPU_SET* checks etc.

Do people have strong objections to this?  I'm essentially adding GCC as
a requirement to enable the fast math stuff, but with our change in
policy regarding FP exceptions this seems reasonable -- and we can
always add non-GCC code for other Linux-x86 targets as required.

Well now that is strange. Maybe use a debugger or such to check if
grBufferSwap is _really_ defined inside libglide3 (if you care, see below).

Oh! I've _completely_ overlooked that nuance *laugh*. The cause for the above
is my use of the -release libtool switch to specify the version number.
Now I also understand what someone mentioned before about libtool complaining
about incorrect version number format! If you use -version-info 1.2.030500
libtool (absolutely correctly!) complains that 1.2.030500:0:0 is not a valid
version information.

I've reread the libtool docs (info libtool) as well as the Linux OpenGL ABI
(http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/). I encourage everyone in the
discussion to check the libtool docs, too! The relevant sections are "Libtool
paradigm" and "Versioning".

After some thought I have come to the conclusion that the library file naming
scheme should be redesigned because, basically, I believe libtool's argument
about library versioning is correct and should be followed.

It was suggested before to "fix libtool's idea of a version number". As I see
it, that statement as invalid. Libtool doesn't have any idea of a "version
number" in this case. Libtool considers "interfaces" because the interface(s)
a library exports are what is really important about it. Not the version
number of the package it came from. There are better ways of keeping track of
the latter.

I'm not going to recite libtool's reasoning now, please read those docs.
I'm assuming understanding of the libtool version info scheme below.


Satisfying both libtool and the Linux ABI, I suggest this:

- Set a libtool -version-info of 0:MESA_VERSION:0 where MESA_VERSION would be
  30500 for Mesa 3.5.0.
- Follow the rules for libtool version info in updating the CURRENT and AGE
  fields.
- On Linux (for ABI-conformance), use an install-hook to create two symbolic
  links: libGL.so.1 to libGL.so.0.MESA_VERSION.0 and libGL.so to libGL.so.1.
- Follow the same rules for GLU and GLUT.

I think I'd like to see a configure option to explicitly disable the

It was autodetected. But I only use the DRI (CVS) with the included Mesa

grBufferSwap must be a function from glide.h, I think. Can you check that?
You're using Glide 3, right? We've had some problems in the past with Glide 3
headers or libraries getting mixed up with Glide 2 headers or libraries; you
might want to check on that, too. Try to find out where grBufferSwap is
supposed to come from (David, maybe you know?). Please let me know about
anything you find out. Thanks.

Woohoo! This is done all nice and clean now! :) (Can you tell I'm proud?)

src/X86/Makefile.am now includes a rule for building gen_matypes, one for
generating matypes.h through it, as well as the dependency on matypes.h.
Means: everything is done automagically once it is needed.

Unfortunately the configure script depended on matypes.h in the checks for
MMX etc. :o.

I built small checks for all the assembler features in m4/assembler.m4 using
just one instruction of the particular command set each. On my system this
reports all command sets as available. However assembly is not my focus, so
someone more comfortable with all that migh want to double-check the test
cases.

[Mesa3d-dev] possible gcc-ism in src/tnl/t_array_import.c

[Jean-Francois P. <pan...@di...>]

In src/tnl/t_array_import.c, I find the following code:

void _tnl_vb_bind_arrays( GLcontext *ctx, GLint start, GLsizei count )
{
...
   if (0) {
      fprintf(stderr, "%s %d..%d // %d..%d\n", __FUNCTION__,
              start, count, ctx->Array.LockFirst, ctx->Array.LockCount); 
      _tnl_print_vert_flags("    inputs", inputs); 
      _tnl_print_vert_flags("    _Enabled", ctx->Array._Enabled);
      _tnl_print_vert_flags("    importable", inputs & VERT_FIXUP);
   }

__FUNCTION__ seems to be a gcc-ism (although I can't find a reference
to this in the gcc info documentation), and the SGI MIPSpro C compiler
barfs on it. #if 0-ing the offending code fixes the problem for me.

[Mesa3d-dev] src/swrast/s_aalinetemp.h 1.10 doesn't compile

[Jean-Francois P. <pan...@di...>]

I just did a CVS co of the main branch, and I get the following compilation
failure under IRIX:

cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../src -g -D_REENTRANT -DPTHREADS -Wp,-MDupdate,.deps/s_aaline.pp -c s_aaline.c  -DPIC -o .libs/s_aaline.lo
cc-1020 cc: ERROR File = s_aalinetemp.h, Line = 79
  The identifier "index" is undefined.

     (void) index;
            ^

The following code was changed yesterday in s_aalinetemp.h from version
1.9 to version 1.10:

static void
NAME(plot)(GLcontext *ctx, const struct LineInfo *line,
           struct pixel_buffer *pb, int ix, int iy)
{
...
#ifdef DO_RGBA
   GLchan red, green, blue, alpha;
#else
   GLint index;
#endif
...
#ifdef DO_INDEX
   index = (GLint) solve_plane(fx, fy, line->iPlane);
#else
   (void) index;
#endif

Without having looked at all the details, I imagine that if DO_INDEX
is defined, then DO_RGBA is not, and thus GLint index is not defined.
If I remove:

#else
   (void) index;

the file compiles fine.

Thanks, Sven!

I have to do some test builds of 3.4.2 yet but I think that was the
last task.
