Detailed Description

       The SoGLDriverDatabase class is used for looking up broken/slow
       features in OpenGL drivers.

       Coin will maintain a database of drivers where we have found problems
       with certain features, even if the OpenGL driver claims to support it.
       This is an effort to avoid application or operating system crashes when
       Coin attempts to use a specific feature. Using this database we can
       either disable this feature, or find another way to handle it for
       broken drivers.

Member Function Documentation

   SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isSupported (const cc_glglue * context, const
       SbName & feature) [static] Convenience function which checks whether
       feature is suppported for context. If feature is an OpenGL extension,
       it checks if it’s actually supported by the driver, and then calls
       SoGLDriverDatabase::isBroken() to check if the feature is broken for
       context.
   SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isBroken (const cc_glglue * context, const
       SbName & feature) [static] Checks the driver database to see if feature
       is tagged as broken.
   SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isSlow (const cc_glglue * context, const SbName
       & feature) [static] Checks the driver database to see if feature is
       tagged as being slow.
   SbBool SoGLDriverDatabase::isFast (const cc_glglue * context, const SbName
       & feature) [static] Checks the driver database to see if feature is
       tagged as fast.
   SbName SoGLDriverDatabase::getComment (const cc_glglue * context, const
       SbName & feature) [static] Get the comment for feature in context,
       returns ’undefined’ if the feature has no entry. Provides extensibility
       to the database.
   void SoGLDriverDatabase::loadFromBuffer (const char * buffer) [static] Load
       the driver database from buffer
   void SoGLDriverDatabase::loadFromFile (const SbName & filename) [static]
       Load the driver database from the file specified in filename
   void SoGLDriverDatabase::addBuffer (const char * buffer) [static] Add the
       XML data in buffer to the driver database
   void SoGLDriverDatabase::addFile (const SbName & filename) [static] Add the
       XML data in filename to the driver database
   void SoGLDriverDatabase::addFeature (const SbName & feature, const SbName &
       comment) [static] Add a feature to the driver database
