R600 Gallium3D Getting Close On OpenGL 3.3 Support
After writing on Friday about UBO and TBO support for R600g that now allows for GLSL 1.40 compliance, the end is near for OpenGL 3.3 in this widely-used AMD open-source driver. The uniform buffer object and texture buffer object support for the R600g driver was the last major missing piece for GL Shading Language 1.40 compliance, which is the GLSL version to match OpenGL 3.1.
As was then quickly pointed out in the forums, OpenGL 3.3 in R600g is not too far out. David Airlie chimed in about some of the missing features. "There is a tree on github with unproven geometry shader code for r600g, intel would need to add 965 support, it just needs a lot of piglit tests and a lot of review, the last missing bit then is GL_ARB_texture_multisample which is also under construction by another dev for 965, which could be fixed up for gallium fairly easily hopefully. but writing the piglit tests for geometry shaders is probably the biggest problem."
As luck would have it, this morning Airlie published R600/Gallium3D patches for GL_ARB_texture_multisample. So the missing work mostly comes down to geometry shaders and writing Piglit OpenGL regression tests for this OpenGL functionality.
There's more interesting comments in the forum thread.
As of Sunday morning, the official OpenGL 3.x support state in Mesa as listed per the bundled documentation in Git comes down to:

We probably won't see the last remaining pieces of OpenGL 3.2/3.3 compliance land in time for next month's release of Mesa 9.1, but it will be very close. With Mesa still on a six-month release schedule, we should see the next Mesa release in the fall handle OpenGL 3.3. Unfortunately will likely not be until 2014 when we see OpenGL 4.0 compliance with this open-source graphics driver stack.
