Hi all,

It seems like these two extensions were never implemented or advertised.
Be that in:
  - glx/dri
  - glx/apple
  - classic xlib-glx
  - gallium xlib-glx

Yet, the entry points were available, hence apps might have linked
against it.

If an app was linking with an extension entry point instead of using
glXGetProcAddress, it is the app's bug.

True, but if we remove it and an app starts failing the end-user just thinks "broken driver" and gets frustrated. I seem to remember writing some GLX stubs years ago for that reason.



Furthermore I cannot see any users of those on my system and a courtesy
google search. Additionally the Nvidia driver (checked version 390.25)
does not implement/advertise them either.

That said, I'm fairly confident that we can safely remove the no-op
stubs. Even though that the entry points were statically exposed.

Brian, Ian,

Do you have any recollection about these experimental SGI extensions?

Ajax and I had talked about implementing swap_group a few times, but
there were some technical challenges that we were too lazy to tackle.  I
think that's about as far as any of it ever got.

I should have also said...

I'm fine with removing them too. If someone really complains, they can always be restored.
