Dependencies
OpenGL 1.4 is required
The extension is written against the OpenGL 1.4 specification.
ARB_vertex_program or ARB_fragment_program or NV_vertex_program
or NV_fragment_program is required.
Overview
The extension provides facilities for implementing debuggers for
vertex and fragment programs.
The concept is that vertex and fragment program debuggers will be
implemented outside of the GL as a utility package. This extension
only provides the minimal hooks required to implement a debugger.
There are facilities to do the following:
1. Query the current values of input, output and temporary registers.
2. Query the current program position during execution.
3. Have the GL call a user-specified function prior to executing
each vertex or fragment instruction.
The main feature is the ProgramCallbackMESA function. It allows the
user to register a callback function with the GL. The callback will
be called prior to executing each vertex or fragment program instruction.
The callback function can determine whether to return immediately (to
continue program execution) or stop and process user commands.
From within the callback, the user may issue glGet* commands to
query current GL state. The GetProgramRegisterfvMESA function allows
all program register values to be queried (such as temporaries,
input attributes, and result registers).
There are flags for enabling/disabling the program callbacks.
The current execution position (as an offset from the start of the
program string) can be queried with
GetIntegerv(GL_FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_POSITION_MESA, &pos) or
GetIntegerv(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_POSITION_MESA, &pos).

Issues
1. Is this the right model for a debugger?
It seems prudent to minimize the scope of this extension and leave
it up to the developer (or developer community) to write (a)
debugger(s) that layer on top of this extension.
If the debugger were fully implemented within the GL it's not
clear how terminal and GUI-based interfaces would work, for
example.
2. There aren't any other extensions that register callbacks with
the GL. Isn't there another solution?
If we want to be able to single-step through vertex/fragment
programs I don't see another way to do it.
3. How do we prevent the user from doing something crazy in the
callback function, like trying to call glBegin?
The rule is that the callback function can only issue glGet*()
functions and no other GL commands. It could be difficult to
enforce this, however. Therefore, calling any non-get GL
command from within the callback will result in undefined
results.
4. Is this extension amenable to hardware implementation?
Unresolved, but we'd hope so. Perhaps the GL implementation
will have to fall back to a software path when debugging.

Dependencies on NV_vertex_program and NV_fragment_program
If NV_vertex_program and/or NV_fragment_program are supported,
vertex and/or fragment programs defined by those extensions may
be debugged as well. Register queries will use the syntax used
by those extensions (i.e. "v[X]" to query vertex attributes,
"o[X]" for vertex outputs, etc.)
Errors
INVALID_OPERATION is generated if ProgramCallbackMESA is called
between Begin and End.
INVALID_ENUM is generated by ProgramCallbackMESA if <target> is not
a supported vertex or fragment program type.
Note: INVALID_OPERAION IS NOT generated by GetProgramRegisterfvMESA,
GetBooleanv, GetDoublev, GetFloatv, or GetIntegerv if called between
Begin and End.
These functions may be called from the user-provided callback function
which is called between Begin/End.
INVALID_ENUM is generated by ProgramCallbackMESA,
GetProgramRegisterfvMESA if <target> is not a program target supported
by ARB_vertex_program, ARB_fragment_program (or NV_vertex_program or
NV_fragment_program).
INVALID_VALUE is generated by GetProgramRegisterfvMESA if <registerName>
is not a recognized program register.
INVALID_OPERATION is generated by GetProgramRegisterfvMESA when a
register query is attempted for a program target that's not currently
being executed.
