Hey guys, 2 questions
As far as I know, there is no way to profile opengl calls under linux yet... is this still true?
Secondly, with normal function calls, the cpu goes through the function, returns after it's completed everything inside and u get a accurate time of how long it took to run that function.
With opengl, the function is called and command is sent to the server, and function returns but the processing time of the actual command is unknown because function returns potentially before the command is executed or complete. Is this correct?
if so, then isn't recording FPS potentially very inaccurate? because you could put lots and lots of gl calls on the queue, and on cpu, the frames are counting up whereas on the gpu, the instructions are piling up?
What's the deal here?
I must be wrong somewhere... can someone point out where?
Joe.
