GL 4.6: core spec mentions fixed-function lighting in text. #18

Closed NicolBolas closed 6 years ago

NicolBolas commented 6 years ago

See this quote from page 475:

Note that these modes affect only the final rasterization of polygons: in particular, a polygon’s vertices are lit, and the polygon is clipped and possibly culled before these modes are applied.

Emphasis added. The core profile specification should probably not have that clause.

Perhaps we should change that sentence on page 475 with this:

Note that these modes affect only the final rasterization of polygons: in particular, vertex processing, polygon clipping and possibly polygon culling happen before these modes are applied.

It's also straightforward to conditionalize the clause so it doesn't show up in core profile.

pdaniell-nv commented 6 years ago

Approved either way to address the issue in the OpenGL|ES meeting. Up to @oddhack as editor to choose. Assigned to update spec.

This will be fixed in the next spec update, coming soon.
