AMD Open-Sources "Addrlib" From Catalyst

[stalkerg]

Forgive my naive and uneducated question, as mesa and 3d graphics driver development is a completely untouched territory for me. I am a developer though, and I was wondering what in a "texture addressing and alignment calculator" needs 22k+ codelines?

+1 . Mesa use less lines of code now. And I don't like 22k not mesa style codelines (Style is realy crap).

There is more than the initial description would indicate I think.

There is a code comment inconsistency on the following lines

+    UINT_32  noOfRanks;          ///  MC_ARB_RAMCFG.NOOFRANK
+                                 ///  0: 1
+                                 ///  1: 2
+                                 ///  SI (R1000) registers-----------------------------------------
+    const UINT_32* pTileConfig;  ///< Global tile setting tables
+    UINT_32  noOfEntries;        ///< Number of entries in pTileConfig
+
+                                 ///< CI registers-------------------------------------------------

It should be

+    UINT_32  noOfRanks;          ///< MC_ARB_RAMCFG.NOOFRANK
+                                 ///  0: 1
+                                 ///  1: 2
+                                 ///  SI (R1000) registers-----------------------------------------
+    const UINT_32* pTileConfig;  ///< Global tile setting tables
+    UINT_32  noOfEntries;        ///< Number of entries in pTileConfig
+
+                                 /// CI registers-------------------------------------------------

At least I think it should be that.
