That does fix the "problem." I guess now you have to decide if you want to help people write applications that may break in unexpected ways on other platforms or even old Linux installs. The real sticking point in all of this is that neither the developer that wrote the bad code (me, in this case) or the end-user get any sort of a useful error message. In my case, I just got a segfault that GDB told me was in a function that I didn't even call. The reason was that it tried to execute code in my function pointer table, and the nearest symbol was one of the other function pointers. This may be a stretch beyond the realm of possability, but is there any way to "fix" it and give some sort of a compile-time or link-time warning that the developer is only asking for trouble? The big issue being backwards compatability. We need to not only provide it in the DRI drivers, but we need to (try to) provide it in applications that use libGL.so. If nothing else, I'm very good at opening large cans of wriggly worms. :) -- Tell that to the Marines! _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
