FYI Aldrik's already done it, just waiting for review & merge.

I think I've found a bug, since ex_threads doesn't work on my system (Xubuntu 20.04.2, I've just realized I should update it). It just creates a bunch of small windows and then exits with a "segment violation (`core' generated)". ex_threads2 seems to work. I have no idea how to debug threads so I can't be for much more help. BTW, since Allegro.pas version of ex_threads2 doesn't work outside GDB (but it does inside GDB ----------------- |

ex_threads doesn't work with DX on Windows. It creates a bunch of threads and starts them all and they all create a window, and the window creation code isn't thread safe so it segfaults. SiegeLord - could you look at the attached allegro.log and tell me what you see? I see a whole ton of "d3d_create_fullscreen_device: Mode not supported." messages. Why is allegro trying to create an unsupported mode? Can't the display modes be sorted or filtered somehow?

I don't know but d3d_check_mode looks a bit strange - if EnumAdaptorModes fails the whole function returns false (line 402), I would have though it should skip that mode and continue the enumeration?

Would it be possible (in the next build) to update the HLSL to something higher than v2? Or even make it possible to choose which HLSL version to use? v2 is really limiting on the number of instructions that can be used.

I've done some updates and, on my Xubuntu 20.04LTS ex_threads doesn't work (freezes the computer) but ex_threads2 seems to work. ----------------- |

@SiegeLord - sorry for the slow reply So, your patch works for my Nvidia GPU, but not the onboard intel. Which means, all the multisample requirements are being met, for fullscreen, fs window, and windowed mode, but ONLY with my Nvidia.

You mean, in the logs, it tries the first mode and succeeds? What happens with the Intel, it still tries many modes before it fails?

It's great to see Allegro is constantly developing. I think I have a question or two though. I heard previous versions did not work well with Windows using C code. Has that been addressed or is that a major version issue? Also, has it been released on Fedora? By reading this sig, I, the reader, agree to render my soul to Bob Keane. I, the reader, understand this is a legally binding contract and freely render my soul. |

Bob Keane said: I heard previous versions did not work well with Windows using C code That's still an issue. To be clear, you can write your entire program in C, but you need to link in the C++ runtime, since Allegro uses some C++ internally. If this can be fixed, it won't require a major version.

On Fedora, dnf will install 5.2.4. I don't know who (if anybody) is in charge of updating that.

SiegeLord - to be clear, it may be succeeding, but if allegro doesn't report the number of samples to be other than zero, it turns red. That's the only way I know if its ms. What exactly is affected by msaa? Primitives? Triangles? Fonts? Bitmaps? My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

If you look at the logs on your Intel system, do lines like this: display D E:\usr\libs\Allegro52X\src\display_settings.c:212 debug_display_settings [ 0.51161] color: 32 (rgba 8880), depth: 0, stencil: 0, acc: 0000, samples: 0/0 Have the samples line be anything other than 0/0?

SiegeLord, in every case with the Intel, they all report the format as supporting 0/0 samples, all 64 of them for fs. UPDATE And by the way, does anyone know what it takes to build MinGW-W64 with GCC 10 support? I despise MSYS2 and I want to build distributable binaries for MinGW-W64 since the package manager fell off the planet.

Why do you despise msys2 ? "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

Because it tries to be like Linux on Windows but it sucks. Bump. This thread shall live on. Will there be a 5.2.7.1 release to address some of the problems?

Edgar Reynaldo said: Will there be a 5.2.7.1 release to address some of the problems? No. Point releases are pretty much just for newly broken releases (like it doesn't build or something) or regressions; these issues have been there for over a decade, they're not worth releasing over. I do want to release 5.2.8 earlier than next year though... "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

I think it's worth it this time. MSAA and no window flickering? Some people are still using custom builds and need binaries that are fixed. I'll probably do it sometime soon. Pissed that mingw-w64 binaries are still stuck on GCC 8.1 and I don't know how to build MinGW-W64 with GCC 10 or I would build binaries for that too. EDIT The log deadlock sucks too.

And yet msys 2 is having gcc version 10.3.0 ;-p "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

i had problems with minGW too something related to the symbol _moddiv4 is missing in mingw library available only w64-mingw now i'm using MinGW bundled with Qt Creator, works fine and my previous mingw i686 DWARF this problem can be fixed if you build allegro by yourself c++ |

I put together a compile guide for A5 on Windows with MinGW-W64. Read it here : http://members.allegro.cc/EdgarReynaldo/BuildA5.html The link is in my sig too.
