swung0x48 6ee4c0979b [CI, Docs] (Disaggregated): P5e ra - the strict lane becomes one step with two arms, and §11/§14/§17 say what landed
- CONTRACT-P5E §7. integration-split-strict was an EXPECTED-RED control: every entry
  aborts on its first BARRIER-PULLED read, so the step gated on the run failing for
  that reason. After the flip it is a HARD GREEN GATE - an unbarriered record's pull is
  Fatal whatever the knob says (§3.3), so strict adds only the barriered rows, and those
  are a short named allowlist of <field>@<verb>. A revert of any handle arm in
  vi/sb/pg/tx2/fb then goes red HERE, by field and verb, instead of in a picture.
- THE ARM IS CHOSEN BY THE TREE. The step greps kMGPipeP5eRunAheadReady out of
  MG_Backend/Init.cpp, which is the one constant the integration commit flips and is
  exactly the fact the lane's expectation depends on. A lane whose flip is a separate
  human step is a lane that is wrong for as long as that step is outstanding - and the
  pre-flip arm is unchanged, so this commit moves no CI verdict today.
- The allowlist names the package that retires each row: readbacks and the pack PBO
  (P8/P9), the CopyTex endpoint and GenerateMipmap (tx2), set_storage_block_binding
  (pg), XFB (P3b/P4b/P9), resource_copy_region's GL names (the declared P5b debt). A
  row leaves it by deletion, never by widening. The lane also warns on a non-zero rsp,
  which after P5e can only be a barriered row.
- The allowlist is built with printf rather than a heredoc: a quoted heredoc's
  terminator has to start at column 0, which inside a YAML block scalar would end the
  scalar instead of the heredoc.
- ARCHITECTURE §11.6: the wait rule is the generated WaitClass column now, not the call
  class, and it REPLACES the BatchWaits skip; glFinish stops being a no-op under
  run-ahead; the forced waits (EGL forwarders, the map/readback family) and glGetError's
  named window are listed. §11.7: the P9 plan is code - the producer blocks, the drain
  clears AND rings, the client's parks break on the latch, and two named refusals remain
  for the impossible cases. §14: the present credit is client-minted, 1-based, one per
  swap, paid before the encode. §17.7: what P5e is, in one section - the predicate, rule
  F, gPipeInputs' ownership, the latch and the control arms.
- 附 A gains MOBILEGL_IPC_RUN_AHEAD and moves MOBILEGL_IPC_PRESENT_CREDIT out of the
  "P6+" line: a knob listed as not-yet-effective while it paces the frame is how an A/B
  stops being one.

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
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_MAGMA_FRAMESINFLIGHT Set Magma frames in flight. Integer 1–64 3
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
