Crate gl_generator_profiling_struct

Profiling struct generator

Yet another generator for gl_generator, very similar to DebugStructGenerator, but with these changes/additions:

• It does not log all calls. It only logs a call that caused an error.
• The corresponding explanation is included with the error code.
• Contains a profiler that tracks the number of GL calls and errors.

Using the profiler

The generated gl module gains 3 additional methods:

• profiler_reset() - resets the profiler;
• profiler_call_count() -> usize - returns the number of calls since the last reset (or application start);
• profiler_err_count() -> usize - returns the number of errors since the last reset (or application start);

Example usage:

gl::profiler_reset();

// the code

println!("Number of GL calls: {}", gl::profiler_call_count());
println!("Number of GL errors: {}", gl::profiler_err_count());

Setting up the build script

The build script is very similar to the one used by gl crate. Here is the example:

extern crate gl_generator;
extern crate gl_generator_profiling_struct;

use gl_generator::{Registry, Fallbacks, Api, Profile};
use gl_generator_profiling_struct::ProfilingStructGenerator;
use std::env;
use std::fs::File;
use std::path::Path;

fn main() {
    let out_dir = env::var("OUT_DIR").unwrap();
    let mut file_gl = File::create(&Path::new(&out_dir).join("bindings.rs")).unwrap();

    let registry = Registry::new(Api::Gl, (4, 5), Profile::Core, Fallbacks::All, [
        "GL_NV_command_list",
    ]);

    registry.write_bindings(
        ProfilingStructGenerator,
        &mut file_gl
    ).unwrap();
}
