BZLZHH 8b75628dec [Fix] (DirectGLES): depth/stencil clear value and readback gaps
Three separate holes, all of them silent, that KHR-GL3x.framebuffer_blit walks
straight into because it clears and reads back depth and stencil directly:

- glClearStencil was frontend-only. The value was recorded in render state and
  never synced, so the real driver kept its default of 0 and every
  glClear(GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT) wrote zeros. glClearColor and glClearDepthf
  were already synced right next to it.

- Stencil readback assumed GL_STENCIL_INDEX works. It is not part of core ES
  (it needs GL_NV_read_stencil) and a driver without it rejects the read
  outright, which left the caller's buffer untouched. Where the attachment is a
  combined depth-stencil buffer the packed GL_DEPTH_STENCIL read carries the
  same bytes in its low octet, so that is now the fallback; the widening to
  GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT/INT moved into the same helper, since even a byte-for-byte
  read needs it.

- Depth readback always went through GL_UNSIGNED_INT. A floating-point depth
  attachment (GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT32F, GL_DEPTH32F_STENCIL8 - the latter is what
  dEQP's own fbo-surface-type wrapper framebuffer picks) rejects that with
  GL_INVALID_OPERATION and only reads back as GL_FLOAT. Try both.

And one format gap behind the same test: GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT32 has no ES
equivalent and was being normalized to the *unsized* GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT base
format, which is not a legal glTexStorage/glRenderbufferStorage internal format
there - the attachment ended up with no storage and the framebuffer read back as
incomplete. GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT32F is the sized ES format that keeps the
requested 32-bit depth footprint; the transfer type follows it to GL_FLOAT.

Takes KHR-GL3x.framebuffer_blit from 0/3 to 2/3 (the remaining
multisampled_to_singlesampled_blit_color_config_test is a separate
single-channel MSAA resolve issue). Note that scissor_blit additionally needs
the suite to run with a depth/stencil config the test agrees with
(--deqp-gl-config-name=rgba8888d24s8): under FBO surfaces the test hardcodes
GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8 for its own buffers while dEQP's wrapper framebuffer
defaults to GL_DEPTH32F_STENCIL8, and blitting depth between mismatched formats
is a spec error that any conformant driver has to report.

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 3.3 (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 3.3 (Core Profile).
  • Current development focus:
    • MG_State and MG_Impl for OpenGL 3.3 (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, youll 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 glslangs 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.
