swung0x48 5f846d96e3 [MG_Remote] (P6/so): SocketTransport, green over a real socketpair before any second process
The first P6 code that runs. ITransport over a connected AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM
socket, with SCM_RIGHTS descriptor passing on a dedicated SOCK_DGRAM aux pair.
No shared memory: this is the CONTROL plane, and the hot path bypasses
ITransport entirely by its own header's account. What the socket carries is the
handshake, surface ops, resync, aux requests and fatals - and, once sm exists,
the four segment descriptors that let the peer map the data plane. It moves the
keys, not the bytes.

CONTRACT-P6 §8 and the spawn plan both require this green over a plain
socketpair with two threads BEFORE a child is ever forked, for the reason
SessionRings.h gives about the attach half: a transport first exercised on the
day the process appears is a transport whose bugs all arrive at once, on the
hardest day to debug them. That requirement is now met.

It reinvents nothing. Framing.h already had AppendFrame and a real byte-stream
reassembler with exactly the BUFFER_TOO_SMALL keep-the-message semantics
ITransport specifies - written for this and never before driven by a socket.
FdPassing.h already had SCM_RIGHTS over a dedicated datagram pair. What is new
is ~250 lines joining them, plus the platform refusal: Windows has no
SCM_RIGHTS and ShmSegment::Adopt is POSIX-only, so CreatePair refuses BY NAME
at construction rather than handing back a transport that fails every later
call.

SOCK_STREAM rather than SOCK_SEQPACKET, deliberately: Doorbell.h:390-398
already chose a stream socket so a closed peer surfaces as POLLIN|POLLHUP with
recv()==0 rather than as a hang, and the control plane may not disagree with
the bell about what death looks like. Framing.h is what makes a stream safe -
the message boundary is in the payload, not in the socket.

TESTS: the same nine ITransport-contract cases InProcessTransportTest runs,
copied rather than shared. Folding both suites into one parameterised fixture
would rename the sixteen existing cases and G14 says names only grow; and the
two suites do not share a handle anyway, since InProcessTransport's tests reach
into condvar doorbells this class does not have. Nine names added, zero
removed. The seven Doorbell* cases are deliberately absent: they exercise
CondVarDoorbell, not ITransport.

Plus three a stream has and a message queue cannot: a 256 KiB payload that
provably crosses in several reads; a garbage stream that must latch failed and
must NOT resync onto a boundary it invented; and adopting an already-connected
fd with no aux channel, which answers UNSUPPORTED to ShareFd rather than
pretending - rule G, a transport declares what it supports.

Red-once, both run: drop the message on BUFFER_TOO_SMALL and six cases go red;
make the framing latch recoverable and AGarbageStreamIsLatchedFailed fails by
name.

Gates: 12/12 in 677 ms. Unit suite 2340 tests, up 12, with the same two
pre-existing environmental failures. G1 pull 0 added / 0 removed, .text size
10822147 unchanged, and zero SocketTransport symbols in the pull build.

One note for the VM track this eventually serves: swapping AF_UNIX for
AF_VSOCK is one line here and nothing at all in Framing. It is the shared-memory
half that does not cross a kernel.

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, you’ll 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 glslang’s 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
