Exit gates 9.2 and 9.3. Until now nothing ran the integration suite across a
process boundary at all - the spawn shape was proven only by the retrace lane,
which exercises one trace per case and no scenario assertions.
integration-spawn: 102 cases, 102 green.
THE SET IDENTITY IS THE POINT, AND IT IS NOT MAINTAINED BY HAND. 9.2 asks that
the spawn lane's case-name set equal the split lane's. Registering the spawn
arm as a second copy of each block would satisfy that today and drift the first
time somebody adds a scenario to one of them - and a spawn lane covering LESS
goes green while proving less, with nothing about a smaller green lane looking
wrong. The eleven split-environment blocks become eleven calls to one macro
that emits BOTH arms from one filter, so a case added to either is added to
both or to neither.
scripts/ci/spawn_lane_parity.py asserts it anyway, because a macro is one edit
from a hand-written block. It compares SETS rather than counts - a count can
agree while the membership does not - and carries exactly one sanctioned
asymmetry, named in the file: integration-split also labels the PUSH-MONOLITH
arm, whose scenario is monolith-only by construction. R-16: introduce a
split-only block and it reds naming the case and the macro to use.
THREE CASES SKIP UNDER SPAWN, BY NAME. CtWireScenario reads PipeApplier's
in-process tallies through ServerVerbs(); under spawn those live in the SERVER's
process and this one's copy is 0 forever, so the assertions were failing about
somebody else's memory. That is a harness limit, not a product defect - the
records themselves cross, which the retrace lane proves. They are SKIPPED and
not deregistered: a case dropped from the registration would make the two sets
differ silently, which is the drift the macro exists to prevent. What retires
the skip is cross-process telemetry, which is also what S8's SessionFaultCount
needs.
TWO REAL REGRESSIONS THE EXISTING GATES CAUGHT, both from this refactor:
* the macro dropped the per-block TEST_LIST variables, which were what
SplitLogPaths fed to give every entry a PRIVATE MOBILEGL_LOG_FILE_PATH.
SplitLogPaths.PrivateAndDistinct went red naming the first orphan. The
macro accumulates list NAMES now, so a block added later is covered without
anyone remembering to extend a list - and the names have to be unique,
because gtest_discover_tests' TEST_LIST is populated when CTEST runs, not
at configure time, so one shared variable held only the last block's
entries. That matters more on the spawn arm: there TWO PROCESSES append to
the path, so a shared file interleaves two sessions rather than merely
being ambiguous.
* the configure_file that substitutes those names ran BEFORE the F1 and Ct
blocks registered, so it captured neither. Same gate, naming
F1WireScenario.ClearBufferfiPixels. It now runs last.
junit_tally gains --require-spawn-ran beside --require-split-ran: the prefix IS
the arm, and a shared flag would let one lane tally the other's entries and call
itself run. Verified to discriminate - the spawn junit reads 96/0/5 under its
own flag and 0/0/0 under the split flag, which correctly fails.
Two death tests follow the ADOPT_TIER message the census commit retagged with
Fatal{UnimplementedAdoptTier}; their regexes asserted the old wording.
Unit 2353 (one pre-existing environmental failure), integration-split 186/186,
integration-spawn 102/102, retrace 6/6, fatal census 0 unmarked, G1 0 symbols
and .text unchanged at 0xa52203.
MobileGL
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:
- MG_State — state tracking and management logic for Graphics APIs.
- MG_Impl — front-end implementations of Graphics APIs that interact with
MG_StateandMG_Backend. - 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).
- MG_Util and other utility modules.
Third-party components

Build Instructions
We currently provide no releases and no precompiled binaries.
If you want to try the project right now, you’ll need to build it yourself:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/MobileGL-Dev/MobileGL.git -
Initialize and update all submodules recursively:
git submodule update --init --recursive -
Follow glslang’s own documentation for its required initiation.
-
Configure and build the project with CMake:
cmake -B build cmake --build buildor do it in a modern way:
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ cmake --build buildAlternatively, 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 |

Notes:
- The project requires C++23.
MG_TestandMG_Benchmarkcan 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.
