Thanks for the input. One question, what are you using SAFE_HEAP for specifically?
Agreed about GL emulation in principle, although regal had some limitations as well last I checked, as well as size concerns. Would be good to gather data on the two options to see which wins on speed, compatibility, size, etc. - Alon On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 10:37 AM, Chad Austin <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow, great! > > Our priorities are: > > 1) C++ exceptions > 2) FORCE_ALIGNMENT, SAFE_HEAP etc. > 3) SIMD vector types > > Regarding GL emulation, I would recommend deleting all of library_gl.js > and instead focusing on getting Regal to work reliably.
