Wave 2 of the advertised-extension conformance campaign.
PROGRAM INTERFACE QUERIES (the load-bearing piece). glGetProgramInterfaceiv
and the five glGetProgramResource* entry points were answered by the
BACKENDS - Espryt asked the real driver about SPIRV-Cross-generated ESSL
whose namespace is not the GL one (default-block uniforms live in
MGL_GLOBAL_UBO there), and Magma kept a second, partial reflection that
hardcoded types and diverged from the frontend. Both are now deleted; a new
frontend resource-model layer (ProgramInterface.{h,cpp}) answers every
interface - uniforms, uniform blocks, atomic-counter buffers (recovered
from glslang's synthesized gl_AtomicCounterBlock_<binding> lowering),
buffer variables, shader-storage blocks (classified by TType storage
qualifier since glslang reflects them as uniform blocks), program inputs/
outputs (built-ins' layoutLocationEnd sentinel mapped to -1), and
transform-feedback varyings including the gl_NextBuffer/gl_SkipComponentsN
pseudo-varyings - from the glslang reflection the frontend already trusts
for glGetActiveUniform. Name/index round-tripping, the "[0]" array
spelling, and the GL 4.6 table 7.2 prop/error matrix live in the new layer
only; GetActiveUniform*/GetActiveAttrib* are untouched.
glShaderStorageBlockBinding now takes the interface-layer index (the one
GetProgramResourceIndex returns, with a range check it never had), records
the binding on the program keyed by block NAME - the one coordinate all
three index spaces agree on - and delegates by name across the backend
boundary. Both backends reseed the recorded bindings on their own program
rebuilds, so an unrelated resync can no longer silently revert a rebound
block, and GL_BUFFER_BINDING reports the live binding, not the declared
one. The Espryt delegate applies only to an already-synced twin and can no
longer trigger SyncToBackend from a getter; the sync path's GL query
out-params are initialized and clamped (a load-dependent stack-garbage
Vector size crash caught by the gate, reproduced 3/50 pre-fix, 100/100
post-fix under saturating load).
ESPRYT RENDER-STATE SHADOW RESET (rides along because it shares
DirectGLES.cpp): the render-state shadow is file-static and survives
MobileGL context switches, so GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB (and the whole synced-cap
class) leaked between contexts - the cross-test leakage class the CTS maps
have carried for a week. MakeCurrent now invalidates the shadow like it
already invalidates the program/FBO/buffer caches, and the resync resolves
a never-set scissor box to the current surface instead of pushing the
(0,0,0,0) sentinel verbatim (which scissored everything away - caught by
the retrace gate, bisected to the exact field via a bitmask probe, and
fixed by resolving like the viewport path rather than reverting).
Frontend riders exposed by the layer: glGetUniformLocation resolves
arrays-of-arrays element addressing ("a[2][1]"); transform-feedback capture
accepts element-addressed varying names ("b[1]") and snapshots the request
verbatim for the interface (Magma's decorate pass logs loudly that element
capture is unimplemented there - follow-up).
KNOWN GAPS, documented in code and tests: the 6 subroutines-* cases
(glslang refuses subroutine for SPIR-V; wave 3), the 5 separate-programs-*
cases (glslang's pipe-I/O reflection cannot see a separable non-vertex
stage's own inputs; needs stage-aware output validation first), and
uniform-block-types' per-instance stage masks (not derivable from the
reflection).
Gate: 593/593 unit at default and kill-switch, x10 each, plus the SSB race
case 100/100 under 20-way CPU load; ext caselist Espryt 77.87% -> 80.42%,

byte-identical; KHR-GL45.direct_state_access 370/371 + 371/371 with the 4
sRGB leak victims recovered in cross-test ordering; KHR-GL33 held at
9884/9886; full 39x2 CI retrace with zero wave-attributable failures (the
3 failing newly-added fixtures are bit-identical on the pristine baseline).
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
MobileGL reuses several open-source projects:
- SPIRV-Cross by KhronosGroup - Apache License 2.0: github
- glslang by KhronosGroup - Various Licenses: github
- DiligentCore by Diligent Graphics - Apache License 2.0: github

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 |

Notes:
- The project requires C++23.
