Objectives
- Intermediate goal: Abstract OpenGL calls so that state can be tracked for the purpose of isolating GL driver bugs
- Ultimate goal: Abstract all OpenGL usage so that SecondLife can be easily ported to another renderer (e.g. DirectX)
See Also
Tasks
GL Cleanup
- Reduce the number of places the viewer makes calls to OpenGL so that markers can be set before each call
- Then, if the viewer crashes even without generating a call stack, the marker value is returned, helping to isolate where the crash occurred
GL Abstraction
- Complete LLVertexBuffer abstraction
- Material abstraction
- shader and texture setup
- Vertex Buffer Auditing
- Minimize LLGLState Calls
