What's the "public api"?

Hmm, maybe the libGL code?


That's the public API of DRI Mesa. It's where DRIMesaCreateContext
and DRIMesaCreateDrawable etc. reside, like fxMesaCreateContext in
drivers/glide/ or OSMesaCreateContext in drivers/osmesa/.

By "DRIMesaCreateContext" do you really mean "XF86DRICreateContext"? The former doesn't exist.


Let's clarify what's meant by public. I consider a public interface one that's directly used by application programs. The XF86DRICreateContext() and related functions are never used by applications. They're used by libGL and the DRI drivers.

fxMesaCreateContext() and OSMesaCreateContext() really are public interface functions.


MiniGLX, XF86 GLX and DirectFBGL will use this API.

Even plain framebuffer device based applications could use DRI, too,
e.g. SDL on the framebuffer device wouldn't need that much code to
add hardware accelerated OpenGL support.

I'm not fully aware of what's all in the embedded branches but in the DRI tree:


1. The dri_util.c code gets linked into each of the DRI driver modules. It should probably go into drivers/dri/common/

2. The XF86DRI*() functions (which I think you alluded to) in XF86dri.c get compiled into libGL. For now, XF86dri.c and all the other DRI libGL files will stay in the DRI tree.

3. A set of files similar to those in (2) implement the subset/embedded MiniGLX libGL library. They'll be in src/miniglx/


So, my suggestion is that the src/mesa/drivers/dri/api/ directory isn't really needed; those files should go in src/mesa/drivers/dri/common/. And, all the files which get compiled into the MiniGLX libGL should be in src/miniglx/.
