Currently, the only functions that are aliased like this are both GLX_SGI_make_current_read functions, a few GLX_SGIX_fbconfig functions, and glXGetCurrentDisplayEXT (from GLX_EXT_import_context and GLX 1.2). Since this last function has been supported for so long in XFree86, it's the only one that I'm at all concerned about. In the future, some of the pbuffers functions may get the same treatment.
I guess I'd like to keep the existing "real" GLX extension functions whenever possible. Some apps/libs (like some varients of GLUT) have direct calls to some GLX functions like glXGetFBConfigAttribSGIX(). If those functions don't exist in libGL people may have problems. I see some reports of this kind of problem with NVIDIA's libGL and older copies of GLUT as-is.
I was afraid of that. I really don't want to have a bunch of gunk floating around in either the source or the binary. Would it be okay to use --defsym to have the linker do the aliasing? From the ld man page:
--defsym symbol=expression Create a global symbol in the output file, containing the absolute address given by expression. You may use this option as many times as necessary to define mul- tiple symbols in the command line. A limited form of arithmetic is supported for the expression in this context: you may give a hexadecimal constant or the name of an existing symbol, or use "+" and "-" to add or subtract hexadecimal constants or symbols. If you need more elaborate expressions, consider using the linker command language from a script. Note: there should be no white space between symbol, the equals sign (``=''), and expression.
We could add something like the following to the command-line to get the same effect as the aliasing in the GLX_functions table:
--defsym glXMakeCurrentReadSGI=glXMakeContextCurrent \ --defsym glXGetCurrentReadDrawableSGI=glXGetCurrentReadDrawable \ --defsym glXGetCurrentDisplayEXT=glXGetCurrentDisplay \ --defsym glXGetFBConfigAttribSGIX=glXGetFBConfigAttrib \ --defsym glXChooseFBConfigSGIX=glXChooseFBConfig \ --defsym glXGetVisualFromFBConfigSGIX=glXGetVisualFromFBConfig
That would work, but would it be acceptable?
Is that going to work on all platforms that libGL may be compiled on? That approach would probably also require some Imake hacking.
Otherwise, I'd prefer to just keep the functions as-is. I don't see them as "gunk". Maybe moving them all into a new file would make things cleaner?
