Yeah, a clean up would probably be a very good idea for the R300 driver. But this is tricky because it takes a lot of time to clean up code, and make sure you didn't accidentally break something... Maybe we can try comparing the ring and indirect buffer writes from the blob for R300 vs RS480. Just drawing a simple triangle. I'll probably try to add some more advanced analysis code into my tool soon. I'm thinking of a list like: int count; int type, reg, val; So the tool just builds the list at run-time then does the "real" analysis after it's executed and created lists for each of the GL tests. This way I could do a semi-intelligent diff between the different tests. Add functionality for reading/writing the list as a binary file and we can then do comparison between different hardware. Just an idea for the moment. I haven't worked out the details yet. Oh, I also just added indirect buffer analysis to my tool. It's still pretty primitive and I need to remove some duplicate code, but it's progressing. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
