Add the infrastructure required for this extension. There is no
xserver support and no driver support yet. Drivers can enable this be
advertising DRI2 version 4 and accepting the
__DRI_CTX_FLAG_ROBUST_BUFFER_ACCESS flag and the
__DRI_CTX_ATTRIB_RESET_STRATEGY attribute in create context.
Some additional Mesa infrastructure is needed before drivers can do
this. The GL_ARB_robustness spec, which all Mesa drivers already
advertise, requires:
"If the behavior is LOSE_CONTEXT_ON_RESET_ARB, a graphics reset
will result in the loss of all context state, requiring the
recreation of all associated objects."
It is necessary to land this infrastructure now so that the related
infrastructure can land in the xserver. The xserver has very long
release schedules, and the remaining Mesa parts should land long, long
before the next xserver merge window opens.
v2: Expose robustness as a DRI2 extension rather than bumping
__DRI_DRI2_VERSION.
v3: Add a comment explaining why dri2->base.version >= 3 is also
required for GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness.

File: docs/README.WIN32 Last updated: 23 April 2011 Quick Start ----- ----- Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are no longer shipped or supported. Run scons osmesa mesagdi to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or scons libgl-gdi to build gallium based GDI driver. This will work both with MSVS or Mingw. Windows Drivers ------- ------- At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work. Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown. General ------- After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32. If you don't like putting things in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the executable(s). Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory. The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the stdcall calling convention. Static LIB files are not built. The LIB files that are built with are the linker import files associated with the DLL files. The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs. This was done mainly to get the better tessellator code. If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
