While still in development, +it can already do the following: + * Dump a textual log of all GL calls made. + * Take a screenshot or capture a video. + * Call glGetError after each call to check for errors, and wrap + glGetError so that this checking is transparent to your program. + * Capture and display statistics (such as frame rate) + * Force a wireframe mode + * Recover a backtrace from segmentation faults inside the driver, + even if the driver is compiled without symbols. + +In addition, there is a debugger (gldb) that lets you set breakpoints +and examine backtraces. It also lets you examine OpenGL state, enable +and disable filters, and drop into gdb to see what is going wrong. A +GUI version of the debugger (gldb-gui) is currently in development, +and a preliminary version is available with the latest releases. It +features a texture viewer and a shader viewer. |
