Description nmcveity 2015-05-05 20:36:17 UTC
ARB_timer_query is part of OpenGL 3.3 but there does not appear to be static entry points for the new functions (glQueryCounter, glGetQueryObjectui64v, etc..)

Consider this simplified example:

#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glext.h>

int main(int nargs, char** args) {
  // From ARB_timer_query but should be core in 3.3
  glQueryCounter(GL_TIMESTAMP, 123);
  // From ARB_sampler_objects, also core in 3.3
  GLuint name;
  glGenSamplers(1, &name);
  return 0;
}

Attempting to link this:

nick@the-citadel:~/Projects/mesatest$ g++ query_counter.c -lGL -DGL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES
/tmp/cczJxQBg.o: In function `main':
query_counter.c:(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `glQueryCounter'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This is on ubuntu 10.14 (utopic). The mesa-dev package installed is the latest from xorg edgers:

amd64/utopic 10.6.0~git20150423.125574d1-0ubuntu0ricotz~utopic

I *ASSUME* this means it was built from the hash 125574d1effcb3e3eda93f2b2975bc6cc606df3e.

Looking at gl_API.xml, it appears to me that static_dispatch="false" should have been removed when the 3.3 support was added. If I remove static_dispatch from the functions in the ARB_timer_query category, then build, the generated shared object contains the missing entry points:

nick@the-citadel:~/Projects/mesa$ nm -D build/linux-x86_64-debug/mesa/drivers/x11/libGL.so | grep glQueryCounter
00000000000a0990 T glQueryCounter
Comment 5 Emil Velikov 2015-05-05 21:16:38 UTC
This might come a bit harsh, but what makes you think that libGL should provide static entry points for the said symbols ? Iirc EGL 1.4 had some strange thing where, core profile functions should be made available statically.

Does OpenGL 3.3 has a similar text somewhere ?

From a quick look at the spec, I don't see any mention that one should provide a static symbol, plus it is a extension after all :)
Comment 6 nmcveity 2015-05-05 21:50:36 UTC
QueryCounters was an extension but it was added to the core profile in 3.3, you can see it right there in section 5.1 (https://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/glspec33.core.20100311.withchanges.pdf).
Comment 7 Ian Romanick 2015-05-05 21:58:41 UTC
libGL is only supposed to export the symbols that are part of the Linux OpenGL ABI.  That is OpenGL 1.2 + GL_ARB_multitexture.  To maintain cross-distro / cross-vendor / cross-version compatibility, you must use glXGetProcAddress or glXGetProcAddressARB to access any other symbols.
Comment 8 Ian Romanick 2015-05-05 22:03:01 UTC
BTW... you should checkout libGLEW or libepoxy.
Comment 9 nmcveity 2015-05-05 22:10:09 UTC
Ah thanks. I got confused because some functions new to 3.3 ARE exported. But after reading the Linux OpenGL ABI document, yes, that is not something to be relied upon.

I tried GLEW but it doesn't support core profiles, will try epoxy.
