-This document compares the D3D10/D3D11 device driver interface with Gallium.
-It is written from the perspective of a developer implementing a D3D10/D3D11 driver as a Gallium state tracker.
-
-Note that naming and other cosmetic differences are not noted, since they don't really matter and would severely clutter the document.
-Gallium/OpenGL terminology is used in preference to D3D terminology.
-
-NOTE: this document tries to be complete but most likely isn't fully complete and also not fully correct: please submit patches if you spot anything incorrect
-
-Also note that this is specifically for the DirectX 10/11 Windows Vista/7 DDI interfaces.
-DirectX 9 has both user-mode (for Vista) and kernel mode (pre-Vista) interfaces, but they are significantly different from Gallium due to the presence of a lot of fixed function functionality.
-
-The user-visible DirectX 10/11 interfaces are distinct from the kernel DDI, but they match very closely.
-
-* Accessing Microsoft documentation
-
-See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd445501.aspx ("D3D11DDI_DEVICEFUNCS") for D3D documentation.

-Also see http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/d/f2d5ee2c-b7ba-4cd0-9686-b6508b5479a1/direct3d10_web.pdf ("The Direct3D 10 System" by David Blythe) for an introduction to Direct3D 10 and the rationale for its design.
-
-The Windows Driver Kit contains the actual headers, as well as shader bytecode documentation.
-
-To get the headers from Linux, run the following, in a dedicated directory:
-wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/A/2/4A25C7D5-EFBE-4182-B6A9-AE6850409A78/GRMWDK_EN_7600_1.ISO

-sudo umount /mnt/tmp
-
-d3d10umddi.h contains the DDI interface analyzed in this document: note that it is much easier to read this online on MSDN.
-d3d{10,11}TokenizedProgramFormat.hpp contains the shader bytecode definitions: this is not available on MSDN.
-d3d9types.h contains DX9 shader bytecode, and DX9 types
-d3dumddi.h contains the DirectX 9 DDI interface

-*: possible improvements to Gallium
->: references to comparisons of special enumerations
-#: comment
-
-* Gallium functions with no direct D3D10/D3D11 equivalent
-
-clear
-	+ Gallium supports clearing both render targets and depth/stencil with a single call
-
-fence_signalled
-fence_finish
-	+ D3D10/D3D11 don't appear to support explicit fencing; queries can often substitute though, and flushing is supported
-
-set_clip_state
-	+ Gallium supports fixed function user clip planes, D3D10/D3D11 only support using the vertex shader for them
-
-set_polygon_stipple
-	+ Gallium supports polygon stipple
-
-clearRT/clearDS
-	+ Gallium supports subrectangle fills of surfaces, D3D10 only supports full clears of views

-
-AbandonCommandList (D3D11 only)
-	- Gallium does not support deferred contexts
-
-CalcPrivateBlendStateSize

-CalcPrivateUnorderedAccessViewSize (D3D11 only)
-	! D3D11 allocates private objects itself, using the size computed here
-	* Gallium could do something similar to be able to put the private data inline into state tracker objects: this would allow them to fit in the same cacheline and improve performance
-
-CheckDeferredContextHandleSizes (D3D11 only)
-	- Gallium does not support deferred contexts
-
-CheckFormatSupport -> screen->is_format_supported
-	! Gallium passes usages to this function, D3D11 returns them
-	- Gallium does not differentiate between blendable and non-blendable render targets

-
-CheckMultisampleQualityLevels
-	! is merged with is_format_supported
-
-CommandListExecute (D3D11 only)
-	- Gallium does not support command lists

-
-ClearDepthStencilView -> clear_depth_stencil
-ClearRenderTargetView -> clear_render_target
-	# D3D11 is not totally clear about whether this applies to any view or only a "currently-bound view"
-	+ Gallium allows to clear both depth/stencil and render target(s) in a single operation

-	* May want to also support double-precision rgba or use "float" for "depth"
-
-ClearUnorderedAccessViewFloat (D3D11 only)
-ClearUnorderedAccessViewUint (D3D11 only)
-	- Gallium does not support unordered access views (views that can be written to arbitrarily from compute shaders)

-	+ Gallium supports using the broadcast alpha component of the blend constant color

-	- Gallium does not support hull shaders
-
-CreateUnorderedAccessView (D3D11 only)
-	- Gallium does not support unordered access views
-
-CreateDepthStencilState -> create_depth_stencil_alpha_state
-	! D3D11 has both a global stencil enable, and front/back enables; Gallium has only front/back enables
-	+ Gallium has per-face writemask/valuemasks, D3D11 uses the same value for back and front
-	+ Gallium supports the alpha test, which D3D11 lacks
-
-CreateDepthStencilView -> create_surface
-CreateRenderTargetView -> create_surface
-	! Gallium merges depthstencil and rendertarget views into pipe_surface
-	- lack of render-to-buffer support
-	+ Gallium supports using 3D texture zslices as a depth/stencil buffer (in theory)
-
-CreateElementLayout -> create_vertex_elements_state
-	! D3D11 allows sparse vertex elements (via InputRegister); in Gallium they must be specified sequentially
-	! D3D11 has an extra flag (InputSlotClass) that is the same as instance_divisor == 0
-
-CreateGeometryShader -> create_gs_state
-CreateGeometryShaderWithStreamOutput -> create_gs_state + create_stream_output_state
-CreatePixelShader -> create_fs_state
-CreateVertexShader -> create_vs_state
-	> bytecode is different (see D3d10tokenizedprogramformat.hpp)

-	@ TODO: look into DirectX 10/11 semantics specification and bytecode
-
-CheckCounter
-CheckCounterInfo
-CreateQuery -> create_query

-	+ Gallium, like OpenGL, supports per-face polygon fill modes
-	+ Gallium, like OpenGL, supports culling everything

-	+ Gallium supports D3D9 rasterization rules
-	+ Gallium supports fixed line width
-	+ Gallium supports fixed point size
-
-CreateResource -> texture_create or buffer_create
-	! D3D11 passes the dimensions of all mipmap levels to the create call, while Gallium has an implicit floor(x/2) rule
-	# Note that hardware often has the implicit rule, so the D3D11 interface seems to make little sense
-	# Also, the D3D11 API does not allow the user to specify mipmap sizes, so this really seems a dubious decision on Microsoft's part
-	- D3D11 supports specifying initial data to write in the resource
-	- Gallium does not support unordered access buffers
-	! D3D11 specifies mapping flags (i.e. read/write/discard);:it's unclear what they are used for here
