RE: Possible problem in crStateTransformDiff (state_transform.c)

Hi Brian,

Yes we're using VS .Net 2003.

As a side note - I had to change some of the nested case statements in pixel.c
into if-elses to get that to compile on a human time scale. I'll send a copy
when I get back to my dev box (if anyone's interested).

More importantly... I found the problem today!

It stems from diff_api.ActiveTextureARB pointing to a no-op function. I don't
have all the code in front of me right now, but the quick fix was to manually
change tilesortspu_diffapi.c such that the ActiveTextureARB function has the
right calling convention and args:

static void nop(void)
{
}

static void TILESORTSPU_APIENTRY tilesortspuDiffActiveTextureARB( GLenum
textureUnit ){

        return;
}

void tilesortspuCreateDiffAPI( void )
{
        SPUDispatchTable diff;

        crSPUInitDispatchTable(&diff);

        /* Note: state differencing should never involve calling a "glGet"
         * function.  So we set those pointers to NULL.
         */

        diff.Accum = tilesort_spu.swap ? crPackAccumSWAP : crPackAccum;
        /*diff.ActiveTextureARB = (ActiveTextureARBFunc_t) nop;*/
        diff.ActiveTextureARB = tilesortspuDiffActiveTextureARB;

...

The optimizer must have taken the "nop" to the extreme - it probably optimized
it to nothing - which probably meant it wasn't cleaning up the stack properly...

When I get a chance, I'll take a look at the script that generates
tilesortspu_diff.c and put the fix in there.

The good news is that everything else seems to be working OK with optimizations
on! So I think the hard part is over! In general though, we'll have to be on
the lookout for more nop functions like that one.

Thanks,
Jon
