Deep dives on this topic

Long-form pages that explain the exact semantics, invariants and evidence behind this subject.

• Compiled XNA effects: admission, reflection, passes and renderer runtimes — What happens to Direct3D 9 Effect Framework bytecode in CNA: admission order and preflight bounds, the reflected object graph, parameter upload, pass-state publication, cloning, the XNB EffectReader and per-renderer translation.
• Configuring CNA per target: routes, toolchains and what a green build proves — How the Linux, Windows (MSVC and MinGW-w64 with Wine), Android, Emscripten and Apple routes configure CNA, run its tests, and what a successful configure, build or test run on each one proves.
• Dependency acquisition: submodules, siblings, fetched pins and host packages — The five ways outside code enters a CNA build, how they compose, what the configure-time SDL build implies, how host packages change what compiles, the sibling contract and how CNA itself is consumed.
• easy-gl and meta-gl: the two-library GL stack beneath the EasyGL family — How meta-gl and easy-gl split loading, typed calls, ownership and failure beneath CNA's three GL identities: revisions CNA needs, feature gating, per-thread state, context loss, tests and build inheritance.
• Framework services and ecosystem quick reference — A map of CNA's input, audio, media, device, network, gamer-services, storage and sharp-runtime types with their current boundaries and owner pages, plus the bindings and showcase applications around CNA.
• SDL_GPU shader intake, pipeline keys and draw order — Why CNA's SDL_GPU renderer uses precompiled SPIR-V in SDL_gpu's set convention, which GLSL ShaderEffect accepts, how pipelines are keyed, what state is dynamic, and how draw order and vsync are kept.
• sharp-runtime components and how CNA consumes them — How sharp-runtime is cut into CMake components, how an include maps to a component and link closure, and how CNA c1c316b9 selects, links and instruments the components it needs.
• The CNA ecosystem: siblings, references and consumers — Which repositories CNA builds against, audits against and is consumed by, when CMake needs each sibling, where each sibling draws its boundary, and which revision each statement refers to.
• WebGPU renderer semantics: surfaces, targets, mips and pipeline state — Exact behaviour of CNA's WEBGPU renderer: non-sRGB surface policy, target-relative SpriteBatch coordinates, cube render targets, blit-free mip generation, dynamic and baked state, ordered clears and BC textures.
