This lets the compiler generate faster function calls (call through
function pointer, instead of call into a linker-generated stub func
containing jump to function pointer).
When initially writing the Makefiles, I started from a Makefile.am
that had ajax's copyright instead of an Intel one. The only line I
can see that's left from the original Makefile.am is "pkgconfigdir" in
the root Makefile.am.
Note that the generated code is still generated, they just aren't
built and installed. The goal with that is that someone could take
the built .c and .h files and drop it into their own project, if they
want to avoid shared libs.
This totally replaces the getprocaddress and dlsym code, which was
basically just stubs up until now. The is_glx/is_egl() is also
dropped -- they weren't doing anything, and the only false answer they
could give is if the dlopen were to fail.
I was thinking at one point that part of the build was going to
require not including the #defines from the generated code, but would
want these prototypes. It turns out that's not the case (and if it
is, I'll just wrap the #defines in an ifdef).
Unfortunately, for GLX 1.4+ entrypoints (just glxGetProcAddress
currently) or extensions, if there isn't a context bound then we don't
have a dpy and screen available to provide useful debug messages. Oh
well.
