Intel's Mesa Driver Appears Ready For OpenGL 4.5

[tarceri]

This is the first piece of GL_ARB_enhanced_layouts that I've seen land for one platform (i965) before the others. Any word on how far off the AMD and NVidia support is?

All the other features could be done in the compiler front-end and so were shared by all drivers. To get the most from this feature its better to implement it further down the stack. I think the plan is to add support for it in Galliums IR so that should give support to the other platforms, nobody has started work on this yet however.

I hope the rest of the OpenGL ES 3.2 extensions will be done soon too, then more time could be spent on optimization and Vulkan. Especially Vulkan is useless until games run - Vulkan demos are boring.

Michael, pleae don't use the term OpenGL compliance in association with Mesa git tree. Mesa has not passed the OpenGL compliance test suite, so should not be referred to as OpenGL compliant.

Any chance this will be done in the future? Does Mesa see any value in doing this?

I don't think it would be too complicated to pass it... Even the Intel Vulkan implementation seems to pass the Vulkan tests, but that does not say anything about usefulness in practice.

Great news love to see that race coming to an end

the extention is also enabled for gen6+

So to quote from another thread, the only things missing for the 7/7.5 generations should be:

4.0/4.2 fp64 (patches out for 7.5)
4.3 ARB_stencil_texturing
4.4 texture_stencil8
4.4 query_buffer_object (needed on gen 7 only)
4.5 ES3_1_compatibility (needs stencil_texturing)

This is great. My HD4000 approves.

Congratulation to all the devs!

Is there an overview similar to mesamatrix.net where we could see what GPU generation is capable of which features?
I mean it differs a lot from Sandy Bridge to Skylake.

Yes: https://people.freedesktop.org/~imirkin/glxinfo/
