This is used so that libGL can generate extension entry points for drivers. This primarily used when an old libGL is used with a new driver. I believe that code gen is also used in other places in several drivers. If the user isn't trusted enough for code gen, then, seriously, they shouldn't be trusted enough to DRI. There are a million ways an errant program can tank a system using DRI. >> On Dec 1, 2009 2:16 PM, "Tomáš Chvátal" <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> I am cleaning bugs open in gentoo for mesa and i found one with patch >> attached >> to it, which is applicable upstream. >> >> Patch just allows us to to disable writable relocations in gl.
