CONTRACT-P7 §3.2's `multisample-blit-aspect@P7`, the last `@P7` refusal in the tree.
Two halves again, and neither is the other's fallback.
THE HALF WITH AN ARM. vkCmdResolveImage is COLOUR ONLY. The one way Vulkan
resolves a depth or stencil aspect without a shader is a render pass with a
depth/stencil resolve attachment, which needs VK_KHR_create_renderpass2 and
VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve - and a device with neither ended the session at
`Magma:multisample-depth-resolve-capability` on the first
glBlitFramebuffer(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT) out of a multisampled read framebuffer,
which is what every multisample depth resolve in GL is. §3.2 names the second arm
and this is it: WireMultisampleResolve.inc, three baked modules (one vertex stage,
one fragment stage per aspect), fetching SAMPLE ZERO - the same sample
VK_RESOLVE_MODE_SAMPLE_ZERO_BIT picks, so the two arms answer identically and the
lane can assert that.
The pass carries nothing: the scratch has the source's extent and coordinate
space, so the fragment stage indexes by gl_FragCoord and the rectangle is the
scissor. No push constants, no varyings, no frontend object. The stencil half
needs VK_EXT_shader_stencil_export to exist at all (a fragment shader cannot write
the stencil aspect otherwise); where it is absent the arm declines stencil rather
than leaving the aspect undefined, and the module is not even created, because
handing vkCreateShaderModule SPIR-V with an unsupported capability is undefined
rather than an error.
The two capability tests are deliberately not the same test: the subpass resolves
every aspect the FORMAT has and needs a mode for each, while the pass writes only
the aspect this blit asked for - which is safe because the copy-out reads exactly
that aspect.
THE HALF WITH NO ARM. Sample counts that differ with the DESTINATION multisampled:
one sample fanned out to N, or N reduced to M. vkCmdResolveImage only ever writes
a single-sample destination, vkCmdBlitImage refuses a multisampled side, and
vkCmdCopyImage needs the counts equal. Rule I (a): name both counts, record
INVALID_OPERATION, leave the destination alone.
Lanes. DepthStencilReadbackMatrixScenario.AResolvedMultisampleDepth… is PROMOTED
from the informational tier into the three gated Magma arms - it already owns the
observable (clear a 4x DEPTH24_STENCIL8, resolve with glBlitFramebuffer, read both
aspects back, check that a depth-only resolve left the destination's stencil alone
and vice versa), it just had no gated entry. Two entries over it per arm: plain,
and under MGITEST_MAGMA_FORCE_SHADER_DEPTH_RESOLVE, which is the only way the new
arm is reachable here at all - lavapipe carries BOTH resolve extensions, so the
extension arm answers every resolve on this host. The new F1 case is the decline.
It does NOT skip on this host: the shader arm resolves depth and stencil, because
lavapipe also carries VK_EXT_shader_stencil_export.
Three rows join MOBILEGL_BAKED_INTERNAL_SHADERS (8 -> 11).
Red once (R-16, executed and reverted), three times:
* restore MagmaWireFatal("multisample-depth-resolve-capability") for the
non-extension arm -> DirectVulkan.Split.MsResolve1.… dies by that name while
MsResolve0 stays green, which is also the proof that the knob routes;
* restore MagmaWireFatal("multisample-blit-aspect@P7") ->
DirectVulkan.Split.MsBlit.…FromASingleSampleSourceDeclines… dies by that name;
* fetch sample 1 instead of 0 in WireMultisampleStencilResolve.frag (no rebuild -
the gate reads the source at run time) -> WireMultisampleStencilResolveFragment
reds at word 158, naming the symbol, the header and the regeneration command.
Reverted, 15/15 green on the three arms and 11/11 on the freshness gate.
`grep -rn "@P7" MobileGL/ --include=*.cpp --include=*.inc --include=*.h` now
returns COMMENTS ONLY - 19 lines, every one of them prose about a retirement or a
red-once. No refusal in the tree carries the mark any more.
Gates: integration-magma-split 93 (+3), -spawn 72 (+3), -tcp 74 (+3),
integration-magma-full-split 524 (+1), ctest -L unit 2423 (+3), all green;
bake_internal_shaders.py --check reports all five headers fresh; fatal_census 79
abort sites / 44 family words / 0 unmarked; link_ratchet --assert-monotone
unchanged at 186; G1 pull .text 0xa52203, nm --defined-only identical to
p7-before/pull-syms.txt (30570 lines, 0 diffs) - every line lives under
`#if MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED` or in the test tree.
Device debt: the shader arm is the arm the PHONE takes wherever
VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve is missing, and this host can only reach it through
the knob. Its geometry needs one look on the Redmi.
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 |
Enable O3 and LTO in Debug build | ON |
MOBILEGL_ENABLE_TRACY |

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.
