Nvidia doesn't offer it on geforce 7 and earlier cards, but some games need
it. This is surprising because the extension was made specifically for
compatibility purposes for older cards.
Some drivers apparently need private constants, or don't have an efficient
immval packing. For example, MacOS seems to need 1 float for each different
relative addressing offset. fglrx has the same issue, although it is more
efficient in general
Previously this worked on most drivers because the 16 + 4 reserved int and
bool constants kept the problem hidden. Now that we are more aggressive with
uniforms we have to keep free room for some drivers.
This allows better defining of driver desc fixups without adding extra if
lines for each card.
For starters, there's a fixup for the advertised GLSL constants in ATI cards.
fglrx advertises 512 GLSL uniforms instead of the supported 1024(means 128
instead of 256 vec4's). This bug was confirmed by ATI.
This moves the GLSL and ARB specific reserved constants out of directx.c into
the get_caps methods of the shader backends. That way the number of reserved
constants remains in the backend.
GL_LIMITS({v/p}shader_constantsF) now contains the real number of constants as
advertised by GL instead of some mixture of GL info and backend implementation
specifics. This makes it easier for backends to decide how many constants to
use.
Right now we assume that the extension is there but this isn't always
the case. The next patch in this series will add a
non-WGL_ARB_pixel_format codepath to help VirtualBox and others.
The idea here is that we should lookup format information in struct
GlPixelFormatDesc, while StaticPixelFormatDesc and GlPixelFormatDescTemplate
will only be used to build the table.
Other than being a bit nicer than passing function pointers all over the
place, this helps dxgi/d3d10. While the swapchain itself is created in dxgi,
its surfaces are constructed in d3d10core, which makes it impractical for dxgi
to pass the appropriate function pointers.
This prevents fallout from the GL_EXT_fog_coord emulation. glEnable
and glDisable calls other than those that change GL_FOG are not
hooked. The glEnableWINE and glDisableWINE functions can be used to
add other hooks too if ever needed.
This confuses applications like Steam, which hook d3d9 and opengl
functions. It sees that the application uses opengl32, but it doesn't
realize that d3d9 is wrapped to opengl. Thus it starts messing around
with wined3d's wgl context. It usually tries to draw geometry with the
context, but cannot deal with some of the obscure extensions we have
activated.
Based on a patch by Stefan Dösinger. This is more flexible, and allows
the shader backend implementation to be simpler, since it doesn't have
to know about specific formats. The next patch makes use of this.
Note that minMipLookup and magLookup aren't particularly safe to use,
they're global arrays initialized from IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps(). The same
goes for the other global dynamic lookup tables.
