that are currently obtained via glXGetProcAddress and all of the XF86DRI
functions are replaced with a funciton table. This table will be passed to
__driCreateNewScreen.
One of the functions in the table is getProcAddress. This allows some
loaders to expose functionality not in all loaders. This will be immediatly
used for glxEnableExtension (formerly known to drivers as
__glXScrEnableExtension). libGL (and in the future libglx) expose this
function so that drivers can enable GLX extensions. libEGL should exposed
eglEnableExtension to enable EGL extensions. The same function cannot be
used for both because the extensions have different names and (possibly)
different semantics. Drivers can optionally use one, both, or neither.
The key parts are in the __DRIinterfaceMethodsRec structure in
dri_interface.h. A pointer to one of these structures is passed into
__driCreateNewScreen. Because of this, the version of the API is bumped to
20050725. Since the previous version(s) were never in a release, their
existance is erased.
I was actually a little surprised by how much code this cuts from the
drivers. A lot of glXGetProcAddress calls disappear, and a lot of
version checks go with them. Nice.
The one thing I'm not sure of is removing __glXInitialize. For some
reason that function was in the glXGetProcAddress table, but *nothing*
in the Mesa tree used it. Did something with DRI conf. use this
function? It seems odd...
(from glxclient.h) with PFNCREATENEWSCREEN (from dri_interface.h).
Remove the prototype for __driCreateScreen and fix the prototype for
__driCreateNewScreen (append the API version) in dri_interface.h.
1,402 lines of code to be removed from Mesa (drivers and libGL). The
big winner is dri_util.c.
Primary changes are:
1. Remove all "deprecated" entry-points from the various structures in
dri_interface.h.
2. Rename the remaining fields to removed "version numbers." So,
bindContext3 becomes bindContext. Functions with "New" in the name
(e.g., CreateNewContext) were *not* changed, but that is an option.
Having "New" in the name is less annoying to me than having "3" in the name.
3. Remove all compatibility code that handles cases where the driver or
the loader is too old to support the latest interfaces.
4. Append the API version to the __driCreateNewScreen function name.
This is currently done by hand. In the future (i.e., the next time we
make an incompatible change to the interface) we'll want to come up with
a better way to do this. This prevents old loaders from being able to load
new (incompatible) drivers.
5. Bump the API version to 20050722. All drivers (by way of dri_util.c)
require this version.
6. All drivers are *required* to expose GLX_SGIX_fbconfig and
GLX_OML_swap_method (or the moral equivalents). Support for these
functions in implicit in the use of the "new" interface.
7. Some cases still exist that need to be compiled differently in a loader
or core Mesa versus in a driver. These are identified by the define
IN_DRI_DRIVER.
Doing this here rather than on the GLX side since the X monolith hasn't had
Mesa 6.3 imported yet.
idr, I know this is touching a generated file, but I haven't figured out what
needs changing in the generator scripts to make this change happen. If you
could add that I'd appreciate it.

_mesa_sprintf crashes on OpenVMS -> replaced it by the OS-supplied sprintf

relative addressing can be negative.
Change some GLuint indexes to GLint in the t_vp_build.c file.
Added PROGRAM_UNDEFINED token for initializing the register File field to
avoid a gcc 4.0 warning.
generated file, called src/mesa/glapi/dispatch.h, is added. This file
contains three macros for each API function. It contains a GET, a SET, and
a CALL. Each of the macros take a pointer to the context and a pointer to
the dispatch table.
In several threads on mesa3d-dev we discussed replacing _glapi_add_entrypoint
with a new function called _glapi_add_dispatch. For this discussion, the
important difference between the two is that the caller of _glapi_add_dispatch
does *not* know what the dispatch offset will be at compile time. Because of
this callers need to track the dispatch offset returned by
_glapi_add_dispatch.

The downside is that driver code then has to access the dispatch table two
different ways. It accesses it using structure tags (e.g., exec->Begin) for
functions with fixed offsets and via a remap table (e.g., exec[
remap->NewExtensionFunction ]) for functions without fixed offsets. Yuck!
Using the macros allows both types of functions to be accessed
identically. If a driver needs to set a pointer for Begin, it does
'SET_Begin(ctx, exec, my_begin_function)'. If it needs to set a pointer
for NewExtensionFunction, it does 'SET_NewExtensionFunction(ctx, exec,
my_NewExtensionFunction_function)'. Furthermore, if at some point in
the future a static offset is assigned for NewExtensionFunction, only
the macros need to change (instead of every single place that accesses a
table for that function).
This code differs slightly from the originally posted patches in that the
CALL, GET, and SET marcos no longer take a context pointer as a parameter.
Brian Paul had suggested that the remap table could be stored as a global
since it would be set at CreateScreen time and would be constant for all
contexts. This change reflects that feedback.

is basically patch #2939 from X.org bugzilla #3379. This does *not*
fix the bug as it does not dynamically generate stubs at run-time. It
just gets things one step closer.
