| # 64-bit Safety In the Compiler |
| |
| An issue that has arisen recently for contributors making changes to the GLSL ES |
| grammar files has been that certain versions of flex, the lexer on which ANGLE |
| relies, produce outputs which are not safe in 64-bit builds. |
| |
| To address this issue, ANGLE has added a step to its generation scripts to apply |
| 64-bit safety fixes to newly regenerated outputs. This should be unnoticeable to |
| developers invoking flex via the generate\_parser.sh scripts in the relevant |
| compiler directories, as the fixes will be applied by the patch utility as part |
| of that script. |
| |
| When making code contributions that affect the grammar files, please ensure that |
| you've generated the outputs using the script, to make certain that the 64-bit |
| safety fixes are applied. |
