✨ SoGLDriverDatabase ✨

okay bestie, welcome to SoGLDriverDatabase(3) — a page from the Library Functions Manual, and honestly? it's giving "the friend who quietly keeps receipts on every messy OpenGL driver out there." 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

SoGLDriverDatabase — the class that's used for looking up broken/slow features in OpenGL drivers. yes really, that's its whole job and it's iconic for it ✨

🎀 Detailed Description 🎀

okay so, SoGLDriverDatabase is the class used for looking up broken/slow features in OpenGL drivers. the receipts-keeper. the group chat screenshot folder. the "I remember what that driver did" friend. 😭

Coin maintains a database of drivers where problems with certain features have been found — even when the OpenGL driver itself is out here claiming it supports the thing. not the driver lying 💀 This whole setup is an effort to avoid application or operating system crashes when Coin attempts to use a specific feature. And with this database, we can either disable that feature, or find another way to handle it for broken drivers. lowkey genius, ngl 🫶

👑 Member Function Documentation 👑

⭐ SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isSupported (const cc_glglue * context, const SbName & feature) [static]

A convenience function that checks whether feature is supported for context. If feature is an OpenGL extension, it checks if it's actually supported by the driver, and then calls SoGLDriverDatabase::isBroken() to check if the feature is broken for context. double-checking the vibe, as one does ✨

⭐ SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isBroken (const cc_glglue * context, const SbName & feature) [static]

Checks the driver database to see if feature is tagged as broken. 🚩 flagged, bestie

⭐ SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isSlow (const cc_glglue * context, const SbName & feature) [static]

Checks the driver database to see if feature is tagged as being slow. 🐌 not slow like "takes a sec", slow like "we're all gonna be here a while"

⭐ SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isFast (const cc_glglue * context, const SbName & feature) [static]

Checks the driver database to see if feature is tagged as fast. 🔥 slay, we love a speedy feature

⭐ SbName SoGLDriverDatabase::getComment (const cc_glglue * context, const SbName & feature) [static]

Get the comment for feature in context, and it returns "undefined" if the feature has no entry. it's giving "no thoughts, head empty" This provides extensibility to the database. 💖

⭐ void SoGLDriverDatabase::loadFromBuffer (const char * buffer) [static]

Load the driver database from buffer. 📥

⭐ void SoGLDriverDatabase::loadFromFile (const SbName & filename) [static]

Load the driver database from the file specified in filename. 📂

⭐ void SoGLDriverDatabase::addBuffer (const char * buffer) [static]

Add the XML data in buffer to the driver database. XML!! the drama of it all ✨

⭐ void SoGLDriverDatabase::addFile (const SbName & filename) [static]

Add the XML data in filename to the driver database. 🎀

⭐ void SoGLDriverDatabase::addFeature (const SbName & feature, const SbName & comment) [static]

Add a feature to the driver database. contributing to the lore, periodt 💅
