swung0x48 1154f9a00d [Fix] (MG_Remote, Transport): give the inproc doorbell a death state so Shutdown can join a parked waiter, and bound a ring record at half the capacity so a refusal can never look like backpressure
- T-1: InProcessChannel::Close rang each CondVarDoorbell once and claimed that unparks a peer mid-frame. It does not. Doorbell::Wait consumes the one ring, re-tests a condition nothing published, finds the bell alive (CondVarDoorbell never overrode Dead(); Doorbell.cpp had no death state at all) and with kWaitForever parks again for good - so Shutdown could never join a server thread sitting in the design's own steady state (spun, set consumerParked, blocked; plan section 8.1 inheriting the earlier plan's 6.2a). CondVarDoorbell now carries an atomic death latch: Kill() sets it under the mutex and notify_all's, Dead() reports it, Park returns false at once on a dead bell (and the wait predicate includes it, so a Kill cannot slip between the test and the wait), and Close kills both bells instead of ringing them. Same shape as SocketDoorbell's EOF latch; Notify stays the ordinary wakeup.
- T-2: RingProducer::Reserve refused only total > capacity, but a record with capacity/2 < total <= capacity is unplaceable at every head offset where neither the space to the wrap boundary nor the space before it holds it - even in an EMPTY ring, because a wrap pad costs spaceToEnd bytes on top of the record. Concretely: head offset 16 of an empty 256-byte ring, a 248-byte record; FreeBytes() says 256, Reserve says nullptr, forever, and a producer waiting for FreeBytes() >= 248 stalls with nothing logged. The bound is now capacity/2, which is exact rather than conservative (worst case 2*total-8 <= capacity-8), exposed as MaxRecordBytes() for the emitter to chunk against; the minimum ring is two headers so the smallest record still fits the bound. Ring.h states Capacity()/2 as the chunking bound and the G3 header comment in gen_pipe.py now states the chunking rule plan section 8.2 asks G3 to define (PipeWire.inc regenerated).
- Tests, each shown red with only the fix site reverted and green with it: InProcessTransportTest.ShutdownUnparksAWaiterWithNoDeadline (bounded join through a shared_ptr-owned waiter: 5 s red instead of a hung job; reverted it hangs and fails at 5051 ms), RingTest.RecordLargerThanHalfTheRingIsRefused (reverted, the 248-byte record is accepted), RingTest.RecordPlaceabilityDoesNotDependOnTheHeadOffset (the offset-0 vs offset-16 negative control), RingTest.HalfCapacityRecordFitsAtEveryHeadOffset (the positive half: the maximal record at all 32 head offsets of a 256-byte ring) and RingTest.RejectsARingTooSmallForTheSmallestRecord.

MobileGL

C++ GNU LGPL 3.0 Development

A desktop OpenGL implementation

MobileGL is a free and open-source project that implements a desktop OpenGL API. The goal is to provide a complete desktop OpenGL implementation with a state management layer and multi-backend support.

Note

Status: In development. Parts of the codebase are incomplete. Current short-term target: OpenGL 4.2 (Core Profile).

Project positioning

MobileGL is an implementation of a desktop OpenGL library. It aims to provide:

  • Full OpenGL state management.
  • A front-end that exposes OpenGL functions.
  • Multiple independent backend implementations, where each backend targets a specific graphics API and remains fully isolated from others.

This project is intended as an implementation/translation layer.

Key components

The repository is organized into following top-level modules:

  1. MG_State — state tracking and management logic for Graphics APIs.
  2. MG_Impl — front-end implementations of Graphics APIs that interact with MG_State and MG_Backend.
  3. MG_Backend — per-backend translation layer that maps front-end Graphics APIs' semantics and state into concrete backend API calls (e.g. OpenGL ES, Vulkan).
  4. MG_Util and other utility modules.

Third-party components

MobileGL reuses several open-source projects:

Refer to each component's repository for exact license texts. Any bundled third-party code in this repository is included under the upstream project's license.

Compatibility & target

  • Short-term target: OpenGL 4.2 (Core Profile).
  • Current development focus:
    • Performance improvement
    • MG_State and MG_Impl for OpenGL 4.2 (Core Profile)
    • Direct (Vulkan) backend
    • Direct (OpenGL ES) backend

Build Instructions

We currently provide no releases and no precompiled binaries.
If you want to try the project right now, youll need to build it yourself:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/MobileGL-Dev/MobileGL.git
    
  2. Initialize and update all submodules recursively:

    git submodule update --init --recursive
    
  3. Follow glslangs own documentation for its required initiation.

  4. Configure and build the project with CMake:

    cmake -B build
    cmake --build build
    

    or do it in a modern way:

    cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
    cmake --build build
    

    Alternatively, you can use platform-specific build commands as needed.

Build For macOS

On macOS, MobileGL can be built as a dylib that exposes the normal OpenGL/CGL/NSOpenGL entry points and routes them to the DirectVulkan backend. This is useful for running applications such as Minecraft through their stock GLFW/LWJGL OpenGL path while MobileGL is injected before context creation.

Prerequisites:

  • macOS with Clang and Ninja.
  • Vulkan loader and MoltenVK installed. With Homebrew, the MoltenVK ICD is commonly located at /opt/homebrew/etc/vulkan/icd.d/MoltenVK_icd.json.

Configure and build:

cmake -S . -B build-macos-magma \
  -G Ninja \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -DMOBILEGL_BACKEND_TYPE=DirectVulkan \
  -DMOBILEGL_BUILD_TEST=OFF \
  -DMOBILEGL_BUILD_BENCHMARK=OFF

cmake --build build-macos-magma --target MobileGL -j8

The dylib will be generated at:

build-macos-magma/libMobileGL.dylib

To run Minecraft by MobileGL from a launcher like PrismLauncher, keep the stock LWJGL/GLFW natives and add a wrapper command to the instance settings:

env DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/absolute/path/to/MobileGL/build-macos-magma/libMobileGL.dylib MOBILEGL_BACKEND_TYPE=DirectVulkan VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/opt/homebrew/etc/vulkan/icd.d/MoltenVK_icd.json

Also make sure the JVM arguments include:

-XstartOnFirstThread

DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES must be active before GLFW creates its OpenGL context. After startup, the Minecraft F3 screen should report MobileGL and the Direct (Vulkan) backend if the injection worked.

Build Options

Option Description Default
MOBILEGL_BUILD_TEST Build MobileGL tests (requires Clang) ON
MOBILEGL_BUILD_BENCHMARK Build MobileGL benchmarks (requires Clang) ON
MOBILEGL_FORCE_RELEASE_OPT Enable O3 and LTO in Debug build ON
MOBILEGL_ENABLE_TRACY Enable Tracy profiler for performance analysis OFF

Notes:

  • The project requires C++23.
  • MG_Test and MG_Benchmark can only be built with Clang, not GCC. To enforce Clang, add -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ to your command.
  • On Android, tests and benchmarks are always disabled.

Environment Variables

MobileGL supports runtime configuration via environment variables.

Supported Keys

Variable Description Allowed Values Default
MOBILEGL_BACKEND_TYPE Select active backend implementation at startup. DirectGLES, DirectVulkan DirectGLES
MOBILEGL_DISABLE_TIMERQUERY Disable GPU timer-query exposure and use. 0, 1 0
MOBILEGL_ESPRYT_USE_ANGLE Load ANGLE EGL/GLES libraries. 0, 1 0
MOBILEGL_MAGMA_DISABLE_SUBGROUP Disable Vulkan shader subgroup support. 0, 1 0
MOBILEGL_ADVERTISE_FP64 Advertise GL_ARB_gpu_shader_fp64. GLSL double/dvec/dmat compile and run either way - they are narrowed to 32 bits - so this only changes whether an application is told it has 64-bit precision, which it does not. 0, 1 0
MOBILEGL_MAGMA_R11G11B10F_FALLBACK Use Magma's R11G11B10F format fallback. 0, 1 0

MOBILEGL_ESPRYT_AVOID_SAMPLER_MIPMAP_MIN_FILTER Avoid sampler mipmap minification filters. 0, 1 0
MOBILEGL_COHERENT_AS_FLUSH Treat persistent GL_MAP_FLUSH_EXPLICIT_BIT maps as coherent (app-compat for engines like Flywheel that never flush them). 0, 1 0
MOBILEGL_ESPRYT_FORCE_DS_READBACK_EMULATION Always emulate depth/stencil glReadPixels/glGetTexImage by shader sampling on Espryt, instead of using the driver's own depth/stencil readback where it has one. 0, 1 0
VK_ICD_FILENAMES Select the Vulkan ICD used by the Vulkan loader. Path to an ICD JSON file Loader default
