swung0x48 9c6a8a25d8 [Feat] (Pipe): land the P2 contract - real storage for the three swallowed capabilities, the render-state chunk table and its subset hash, the in-process applier, the slot allocator, the subsystem bitmask and the residual ratchet down to 8
- FramebufferSrgb, DepthClamp and TextureCubeMapSeamless get real storage. All three fell
  to SetCapability's "not supported currently" arm and IsCapabilityEnabled's default:
  glEnable was swallowed and glIsEnabled lied, so DirectGLES' sRGB block and the
  DirectVulkan read points consumed a constant. The three Bools land in the three
  alignment bytes at [581, 584) between ColorMasks and ClearColor, so
  sizeof(RenderStateParameters) stays 1168 and NO existing offset moves - Espryt's
  kBlendSpanBegin/kBlendSpanEnd (312/536) and the whole chunk table depend on that.
- MGPipeRenderStateSpans.{h,cpp}: the pipeline/dynamic split, written in exactly one place.
  The rule is the only rule - a byte is pipeline state iff a public RenderState setter that
  calls BumpVersions() writes it - which makes G7's "the subset hash moves iff
  m_pipelineStateVersion moves" true by construction. 16 boundaries, all offsetof or
  sizeof, alternating dynamic/pipeline: 8 dynamic chunks / 772 bytes and 7 pipeline chunks
  / 396 bytes, partitioning [0, 1168) exactly, asserted at compile time.
  MGPipeComputePipelineSubsetHash is XXH64 over the seven pipeline chunks, seeded with a
  table version so a chunk-table change invalidates every persisted key.
- The pipeline subset is now a strict SUPERSET of the 24 members ComputePipelineStateHash
  hashed: 44 members, adding sample coverage, the front face, the provoking vertex, the
  scissor-test mask, the back polygon mode, eleven capability bools the hash never read and
  the three above. Demoting those setters to ++m_version instead would have changed
  MG_State semantics in the PULL build for the push path's sake. The hash runs only when
  m_pipelineStateVersion moves, which is exactly when Magma re-hashed before.
- PipeApply.{h,cpp}: the in-process applier, the server half of the P2 calls. The server's
  working RenderStateParameters IS PipeInputs::m_renderState, which is why DirectGLES'
  SyncRenderState is not one line changed and why the verify comparator stops being a
  tautology. Per-context CSO store indexed by slot, gen-validated; the residual block's
  capability bits are compared against the assembled block, so a capability a later call
  takes over and forgets to carry is Fatal{PipeResidualDiverged}.
  MGPipeDeriveRenderStateFields is a declared STUB - its 29 derivations are commit c1.
- SlotAllocator.{h,cpp}: the client's per-kind {slot, gen} allocator, free list plus
  high-water, first allocatable slot 1, gen bumping only on slot REUSE, a debug assert on
  gen wrap, the composite ShaderCso band held back, and a lifetimeId -> slot map per kind so
  a GL name never enters a key. In the contract because both Track H slices need it.
- ResidualValueBlock 1248 -> 8 bytes, one Uint64 of capability bits.
  RenderStateParameters retired to create/bind_render_state and set_dynamic_state, Pack to
  set_pixel_pack_state, the patch quintet to set_patch_state. gen_pipe.py now emits the
  member-by-member offsetof assertions the ratchet comment always promised.
- gen_pipe.py: PIPELINE_STATE_MEMBERS grows to the 44-member set in declaration order and
  PipeSpanTable.inc's "deliberately absent" block records the answers instead of the
  questions; Coverage.def gains MGP_COVERAGE_EMITTED_LIST (34 rows) and PipeFilled.inc
  gains kMGPipeFieldEmittedBy[], which is what lets the residual fill loop skip a field a
  P2 call now supplies. One more --self-test negative control covers the new list.
- MOBILEGL_PIPE_PUSH becomes a per-subsystem bitmask with named bits (0..6 migrated at P2,
  bit 63 the CSO-content-addressing negative control), defaulting to 0x7f in a push build
  and staying 0 in a pull build. New CMake option MOBILEGL_PIPE_LEGACY_MEMOS, ON, forced ON
  when MOBILEGL_PIPE_PUSH=OFF where it is the only arm. New Features.PipeHandleAbaControl
  under MOBILEGL_PIPE_PUSH, negative control C for HandleRecycleScenario.
- PipeStats gains CallClass::{RenderStateCsoMints, RenderStateCsoBinds} (csom / csob on the
  summary line), and they are PUSH-ONLY: growing the enum in the pull build would resize
  the counter arrays, the name table and FormatWindowLine for two counters that could never
  leave zero, and G1 admits no such resize.
- Four MG_Test/Pipe stubs plus their CMake registration, so the packages that own their
  contents never touch MG_Test/Pipe/CMakeLists.txt.

G1, pull build, symbol_report --threshold 0: 0 added, 0 removed, 0 renamed, 4 resized, and
every resize is attributed:
  RenderState::RenderState()                       1700 -> 1848 (+148)  the three {}
  RenderState::SetCapability(CapabilityInput,bool)   850 ->  927  (+77)  three switch arms
  RenderState::IsCapabilityEnabled(CapabilityInput)  239 ->  268  (+29)  three switch arms
  _GLOBAL__sub_I_DirectGLES.cpp                     1340 -> 1331   (-9)  the static
    initialiser of DirectGLES.cpp's `static RenderStateParameters
    g_syncedRenderStateParameters` re-scheduling around the three new default-initialised
    members. A shrink, and the only unforeseen entry; it is a direct consequence of the
    struct gaining members and touches no interface.

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, 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.

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
