OK, so after another day hacking around this issue, I think I eventually
nailed the reason why the upstream patch does not work. It is trying to
cast the nativeDisplay (an int) into a quintptr (an unsigned int). And
of course, this causes quite some grief to the compiler.
So, I have now two options:
1. tweak the upstream patch to use a qintptr (not a quintptr) so that it
now reads something like:
- display = getPlatformDisplay(EGL_PLATFORM_GBM_KHR, nativeDisplay, nullptr);
+ qintptr nativeDisplayPtr = reinterpret_cast<qintptr>(nativeDisplay);
+ display = getPlatformDisplay(EGL_PLATFORM_GBM_KHR, reinterpret_cast<void *>(nativeDisplayPtr), nullptr);
2. take an even more direct and expeditious solution, to siply cast
into a void*, like:
- display = getPlatformDisplay(EGL_PLATFORM_GBM_KHR, nativeDisplay, nullptr);
+ display = getPlatformDisplay(EGL_PLATFORM_GBM_KHR, reinterpret_cast<void *>(nativeDisplay), nullptr);
After all, nativeDisplay is just an opaque type; getPlatformDisplay() is
just expected to pass that value to the lower-level layers that actually
talk to the GL implementation. nativeDisplay is thus either a pointer
already (which can be cast to a void* as the existing code already
does), or it is an integer of some sort, which is supposed to also fit
into a pointer.
Yeah, I know this is probably not true for some ABis, like x32, where
pointers are 32-bit but ints are 64-bit. But Buildroot does not support
x32 or the likes. Furthermore, getPlatformDisplay() anyway expects a
void*, so it would never be able to accomodate such situations.
So, I would be highly tempted to go for solution 2: it is easy, works
always, and it is no much more "meh" than the alternative...
Unless again I still missed something...

Yann E. MORIN.
