Hi all, If you add hardware and machine optimizations will you add a flag to turn in off?

The issue is not with the concept of compilation and capability bits. If you set capability bits, and compile an object, then you do have access to the things that you set with the capability bits. And, given our current set of compile optimizations, it should work fine because they are all machine and hardware independent. However, if we add machine and hardware compile optimizations in the future, this sort of thing won't work. The machine that receives the compiled scene graph may not know how to process the machine specific compilation. The loose analogy is compiling a program for intel and expecting it to work on a sparc or mips machine. You just don't expect it to work. Doug.
