[Mesa3d-dev] MESA_trace Facility

[Allen B. <ba...@lo...>]

Hi (again),

I was trying out the Mesa Trace facility. The spec file in the docs
directory says that it should produce 'logs [which] are valid (but
possibly incomplete) C code'. I took a stab at:

glNewTraceMESA( TRACE_OPERATIONS_BIT_MESA, "log" );
glEnableTraceMESA( TRACE_OPERATIONS_BIT_MESA );
// draw, draw, draw
glEndTraceMESA();

which produced a file named "log-gl.log.0". However, the contents of the
file are evidently binary. Are there other calls I need to make to get a
text file? Or is there a post-processor for this output?

Thanks,
Allen

The trace facility was never really finished.  The code was donated
by a couple guys at Loki games but it never got polished.  Feel
free to poke around and fix it if you're so inclined.
