We only keep this as a way to get GPU_stubs to run, in case we want to do a
throughout cleanup in the codebase and want code using legacy calls to
fail to build.
There is no more point of keep those around. ES20 may need special case
when/if we dabble with it again. Meanwhile no point on polluting the
code with this.
(ghost still has reference for the PROFILE, but that's reasonable)
In the move to OpenGL 3.3 core profile, we drop support for compatibility profile and older versions.
OpenSubdiv was the only user; I'll update OSD next.
These are always supported now
- instancing as of GL 3.1
- geometry shaders as of GL 3.2
The change to rna_scene.c could use some cleanup, since we don't really need a runtime query function.
See gpu_shader.c for the main changes.
EXT_geometry_shader4 brought this feature to GL versions < 3.2, but now it's just cluttering up our code.
Soon all platforms will be on version 3.3 so we won't even have to check support at runtime!
Initial work by Clément Foucault with contributions from Dalai Felinto
(mainly per-collection engine settings logic, and depsgraph iterator placeholder).
This makes Blender require OpenGL 3.3. Which means Intel graphic card
and OSX will break. Disable CLAY_ENGINE in CMake in those cases.
This is a prototype render engine intended to help the design of real
render engines. This is mainly an engine with enphasis in matcap and
ambient occlusion.
Implemented Features
--------------------
* Clay Render Engine, following the new API, to be used as reference for
future engines
* A more complete Matcap customization with more options
* Per-Collection render engine settings
* New Ground Truth AO - not enabled
Missing Features
----------------
* Finish object edit mode
- Fix shaders to use new matrix
- Fix artifacts when edge does off screen
- Fix depth issue
- Selection sillhouette
- Mesh wires
- Use mesh normals (for higher quality matcap)
- Non-Mesh objects drawing
- Widget drawing
- Performance issues
* Finish mesh edit mode
- Derived-Mesh-less edit mode API (mesh_rende.c)
* General edit mode
- Per-collection edit mode settings
* General engines
- Per-collection engine settings
(they are their, but they still need to be flushed by depsgraph, and
used by the drawing code)
This will make triple buffer used by default for such configuration.
Ideally we would switch to triple buffer on all platforms, but let's
do it in 2.8 branch and don't open can of worms in master now.
This should solve issues like T49945.
GL 3.3 is the new minimum. Compatibility profile for now, core profile eventually. During development, GL 3.0 (on Mesa) and 2.1 (on Mac) will still work.

At context startup, make sure our assumptions about the OpenGL version are true. Should match since we set up the contexts... but this is what asserts are for, to check "should"s!

glMapBufferRange is a wonderful function that doesn’t exist on GL < 3.0.
Use the APPLE_flush_buffer_range extension on Mac. It offers several of
glMapBufferRange’s benefits.
Use older “black arts” method to orphan VBOs when we are done with
them. In modern OpenGL this behavior is more obvious.
Add APPLE_flush_buffer_range to Mac requirements. Every GPU is
supported. T49012
ARB_framebuffer_object replaces several related EXT extensions. The ARB
version pulls GL 3 FBO features into GL 2.1, useful for Mac platform.
Its functions and enums have no ARB suffix so transition to modern GL
will be seamless!
Extension is checked at startup, so is guaranteed to be true at runtime.
Part of T49012
Mac’s OpenGL version is furthest away from our target of GL 3.2. This
commit brings Mac closer to other platforms, so that our shaders and
other code don’t diverge too much during development.
According to Apple’s OpenGL matrix these useful extensions are
available on all GPUs that will be able to run Blender 2.8.
Only checked in debug builds; we might need something more forceful.
Part of T49012
This patch supports "Image or Movie" and "Environment map" types of world texture for the viewport.
It supports:
- "View", "AngMap" and "Equirectangular" types of mapping.
- Different types of texture blending (according to BI world render).
- Same color blending as when it lacked textures (but render via glsl).

nVidia Linux driver reports GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK = 0, which is a bug.
In that case check for the ARB_compatibility extension.
Non-buggy drivers will continue to use
GL_CONTEXT_COMPATIBILITY_PROFILE_BIT.
Thx to Dr Hackerman for reporting.
FBOs are a GL 3.0 feature but enjoy nearly universal support via
extensions.
The newer ARB extension brings these features to GL 2.1 without needing
an ARB suffix.
The older EXT extensions *do* use a suffix. Since we don’t know which
is used until runtime, I added the suffix to all functions & enums.
Also updated the check to look for the FBO feature set instead of the
specific EXT extension.
Maybe this is pedantic but I read it’s best to explicitly set the
desired component size.
Also append “_ARB” to float texture formats since those need an
extension in GL 2.1.
Is current context compatible with legacy GL (version 2.1)?
My earlier approach -- checking for GLEW_ARB_compatibility -- was not
enough.
This should always return true if we set our GL context up properly. It
will return false when we switch to core profile.
In gpu lib:
- GPU_glsl_support() always returns true
- internal cleanup & comments
Outside gpu lib:
- remove check from various code, remove the “else” path
- sprinkled a few C99-isms
We can remove GPU_glsl_support() when BGE stops calling it.
Fix GLSL version & geometry shader support query to consider core vs
compatibility.
All shaders need to be compatible with each other, and for now that
means GLSL 120. For drivers that support compatibility profiles, choose
the highest available (up to 150). If only core profile is supported,
max out at GLSL 130.
Several changes. Tested working on Windows 10 GL 4.3 and MacOS 10.11 GL
2.1.
- document extensions used in this file
- some simple ARB/EXT suffix deletion
- stop checking for pre-2.1 features — they’re available!
- convert old ARB shader API to the one adopted in GL 2.0
- remove checks for old (pre-R600) ATI cards
- choose GLSL version at runtime, between 1.2 and 1.5
- prefer GLSL 1.5 for geometry shaders, fall back to
EXT_geometry_shader4 if needed
