Description Sven Gothel 2013-10-09 23:18:37 CEST
Properly reflect OpenGL-core >= 3.1 and ES >= 3.0 commands restricted to Buffer Objects

Core GL/ES interfaces shall not expose functions taking client side 
memory as an argument where only server side buffer objects are allowed (see below).

Said functions only allow to source the data from buffers already copied to the GPU.

Validation of above (bound buffer) shall be performed,
i.e. throw an exception if attempt to source data from client side memory.

specifying the location and organization of vertex array data are called while zero
is bound to the ARRAY_BUFFER buffer object binding point, and the pointer argu-
ment is not NULL."

Remove CPU sourced data API entry where not allowed (ES3 and GL core >= 3.0) 

    Remove CPU sourced data API entries via new config 'BufferObjectOnly  <name>',
    listed in 'gl-common-gpubufferonly.cfg' and included in ES3 and all GL core >= 3 interfaces.
    
    If BufferObjectOnly is defined for a function, only the 'long offset' variant is being emitted.
    
    Due to limitations of GlueGen's 'ExtendedInterfaceSymbolsIgnore A.java', which only
    identifies the function name and not the signature - all CPU sourced variants
    are manually added to the compatibility and ES2 GL profiles via '*-common-cpubufferJavaCode.java' files.
    
    GLContext: Added 'isCPUSourcedAvail()' to determine whether context allows CPU sourced data,
    i.e. for GL2ES1 and GLES2 ctx.
    
    GLContext/GLProfile/GL: isGLES2() now returns false if having a ES3 context due to 'CPU sourced'
    incompatibility!

    GL2 cfg: Ignore GL2ES3 symbols (super)

Validate CPU sourced data API is allowed, throw exception if not. 

    GLContext: isCPUSourcedAvail() -> isCPUDataSourcingAvail()

  Add unit test TestCPUSourcingAPINEWT validating CPU sourcing, i.e. expecting exception w/ core profile!

I'm not entirely sure this is correct for the ES3 case. I can't find anywhere
in the ES3 spec that actually forbids cpu-sourced data. In fact, it seems to
imply that client-side data is perfectly acceptable in multiple places.

Section 2.9.7, pdf page 53 in the ES3 spec:

"Initially zero is bound to ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indicating that 
DrawElements (...) are to source their indices from arrays passed 
as their indices parameters."

"Blocks of vertex array data may be stored in buffer objects with
the same format and layout options supported for client-side vertex
arrays."

"Rendering command DrawArrays and the other drawing commands defined
in section 2.8.3 operate as previously defined, except that data for
enabled generic attribute arrays are sourced from buffers if the array's
buffer binding is non-zero".

And so on, and so on...
Comment 4 Mark Raynsford 2013-12-12 00:15:53 CET
The reason I bring this up is that the Mesa people have just asked me if it's
actually a problem that they return an ES3 context instead of an ES2 one when
asked, and I can't actually find evidence to suggest they aren't compatible.

Comment 6 Sven Gothel 2013-12-13 22:29:34 CET
See Bug 925 tackling the ES3/ES2 compatibility issue and 'acceptance'.

We won't add CPU sourced API entries to ES3 interface.
However, since ES3 will be ES2 compatible w/ fix for Bug 925
a user can always use: glES3.getGLES2().gl*Pointer(..., cpuArray);

     Bug 929, Bug 852 - Reflect ES3 Compatibility with ES2 / Add CPU Sourced Data API Func to ES3 Interface
    
    Since ES3 is compatible w/ ES2 and CPU sourced data is [still] allowed (but marked deprecated),
    re-adding them to the ES3 interface for completness.
    
    Note: CPU sourced data API functions will be removed in ES4, similar to GL core >= 3.0
