public class EXTRobustness
extends java.lang.Object

Native bindings to the EXT_robustness extension.

Several recent trends in how OpenGL integrates into modern computer systems have created new requirements for robustness and security for OpenGL rendering contexts.

Additionally GPU architectures now support hardware fault detection; for example, video memory supporting ECC (error correcting codes) and error detection. OpenGL contexts should be capable of recovering from hardware faults such as uncorrectable memory errors. Along with recovery from such hardware faults, the recovery mechanism can also allow recovery from video memory access exceptions and system software failures. System software failures can be due to device changes or driver failures.

OpenGL queries that that return (write) some number of bytes to a buffer indicated by a pointer parameter introduce risk of buffer overflows that might be exploitable by malware. To address this, queries with return value sizes that are not expressed directly by the parameters to the query itself are given additional API functions with an additional parameter that specifies the number of bytes in the buffer and never writing bytes beyond that limit. This is particularly useful for multi-threaded usage of OpenGL contexts in a "share group" where one context can change objects in ways that can cause buffer overflows for another context's OpenGL queries.

The original ARB_vertex_buffer_object extension includes an issue that explicitly states program termination is allowed when out-of-bounds vertex buffer object fetches occur. Modern graphics hardware is capable well-defined behavior in the case of out-of- bounds vertex buffer object fetches. Older hardware may require extra checks to enforce well-defined (and termination free) behavior, but this expense is warranted when processing potentially untrusted content.

The intent of this extension is to address some specific robustness goals:

• For all existing OpenGL queries, provide additional "safe" APIs that limit data written to user pointers to a buffer size in bytes that is an explicit additional parameter of the query.
• Provide a mechanism for an OpenGL application to learn about graphics resets that affect the context. When a graphics reset occurs, the OpenGL context becomes unusable and the application must create a new context to continue operation. Detecting a graphics reset happens through an inexpensive query.
• Provide an enable to guarantee that out-of-bounds buffer object accesses by the GPU will have deterministic behavior and preclude application instability or termination due to an incorrect buffer access. Such accesses include vertex buffer fetches of attributes and indices, and indexed reads of uniforms or parameters from buffers.
