ARB_enhanced_layouts Lands In Mesa Git, Rounds Out OpenGL 4.4 For RadeonSI

[chrisr]

As was mentioned, the driver can't claim 4.4 or higher support until it has passed the OGL CTS.

Ah, sorry. As I read the article, I assumed that only OpenGL 4.5 couldn't be advertised yet.

As was mentioned, the driver can't claim 4.4 or higher support until it has passed the OGL CTS.

I think that should be "AMD is choosing not to claim 4.4 or higher support until it has passed the OGL CTS."

And Intel is doing the same, apparently. I highly doubt Nouveau or any community developed driver is going to hold off on tests they can't afford to get access to.

I'm still getting OpenGL 4.3 with my R7 360.

However, this changes to 4.4 if I force GLSL to 4.40.

What foundation or donor company is flipping the bill for the rest of Mesa?

I can only bet that last one will be Microsoft to pay for conformant Nine

[Adarion]

Well, soon mesamatrix should show an all-green on radeonsi. Neat, very neat. The only bad thing about this is that I lack money to get myself a real card (Polaris) that uses mesa radeonsi. Til then I'll enjoy OpenGL 4.5 soon on my Kabinis... ;-)
I still hope that I'll have the money once Vega hits the markets.

[lunarcloud]

With all that money, how are the open source projects supposed to get compliant?
Intel could flip the bill for their drivers. What foundation or donor company is flipping the bill for the rest of Mesa?

[dungeon]

Ah that is cheap, Vulkan is most expensive

Passing CTS is only required for OGL 4.4 and newer.

Oh I see.
So I guessthat means that mesa passed the 4.4 already.
