The GL DLL exports the entry points, so this would not + be out of the question. + + (3) Should the specification mandate the actual output format? + + RESOLVED: No. It is sufficient to guarantee that all data and commands + will be traced as requested by Enable/DisableTraceMESA, in the order + encountered. Whether the resulting trace is available as a readable + text file, binary metafile, compilable source code, much less which + indentation and formatting has been used, is up to the implementation. + For the same reason this specification does not enforce or prohibit + additional information added to the trace (statistics, profiling/timing, + warnings on possible error conditions). + + (4) Should the comment strings associated with names and pointer (ranges) + be considered persistent state? + + RESOLVED: No. The implementation is not forced to use this information + on subsequent occurences of name/pointer, and is free to consider it + transient state. + + (5) Should comment commands be prohibited between Begin/End? + + RESOLVED: Yes, with the exception of TraceCommentMESA. TraceCommentMESA + is transient, the other commands might cause storage of persistent + data in the context.
