- Linear simply indicates that the mapped physical address is always MappedVAddr+0x0C000000, thus this memory can be used for hardware devices' DMA (such as the GPU).
The view is scaled to be as large as possible, without changing the aspect, within the bounds of the window.
On "retina" displays, or other displays where window units != pixels, the view should no longer draw incorrectly.
This prevents a crash when the buffer size returned by the driver is 0,
in which case no space is allocated to store even the NULL byte and
glGetShaderInfoLog errors out.
Thanks to @Relys for the bug report.
The OpenGL renderer has been revised, with the following changes:
- Initialization and rendering have been refactored to reduce the number of
redundant objects used.
- Framebuffer rotation is now done directly, using texture mapping.
- Vertex coordinates are now given in pixels, and the projection matrix
isn't hardcoded anymore.
Several cleanups to the buildsystem:
- Do better factoring of common libs between platforms.
- Add support to building on Windows.
- Remove Qt4 support.
- Re-sort file lists and add missing headers.
This should fix the GL loading errors that occur in some drivers due to
the use of deprecated functions by GLEW. Side benefits are more accurate
auto-completion (deprecated function and symbols don't exist) and faster
pointer loading (less entrypoints to load). In addition it removes an
external library depency, simplifying the build system a bit and
eliminating one set of binary libraries for Windows.
Screen contents are now displayed using textured quads. This can be updated to expose an FBO once an OpenGL backend for when Pica rendering is being worked on. That FBO's texture can then be applied to the quads.
Previously, FBO blitting was used in order to display screen contents, which did not work on OS X. The new textured quad approach is less of a compatibility risk.
