I'm just curious as to why the method (in org.lwjgl.openal.AL):
static void create(String deviceArguments, int contextFrequency, int contextRefresh, boolean contextSynchronized, boolean openDevice)
}

is not public.

I for one don't want the default device opened for me.

Doing the following fails:
AL.create();
ALCcontext alcContext = alcGetCurrentContext();
ALCdevice alcDevice = alcGetContextsDevice(alcContext);
alcMakeContextCurrent(null);
alcDestroyContext(alcContext);
alcCloseDevice(alcDevice);

and then later on calling
alcIsExtensionPresent(null, "ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT")


This causes a problem because ALC10.getDevice() doesnt allow null.
public static boolean alcIsExtensionPresent(ALCdevice device, String extName) {
	boolean result = nalcIsExtensionPresent(getDevice(device), extName);
	Util.checkALCError();
	return result;
}
static long getDevice(ALCdevice device) {
	if(device != null) {
		return device.device;
	}
	return 0L;
}

I'm trying to port over some C++ code and things just seem a little odd.

All in all it doesn't seem to matter if you call alcOpenDevice("blah"); multiple times as my existing code doesn't seem to be affected by the device already being opened by AL.create(). I'm just a little curious as to why this approach was taken. I guess I was just expecting something along the lines of AL.loadNativeCode() and then I would deal w/ all the al stuff.

I'm also curious as to why the destroy method does not call alcMakeContextCurrent(null);. According to the docs "alcMakeContextCurrent should be used to make sure the
context to be destroyed is not current (NULL is valid for alcMakeContextCurrent).".

Thanks for the help,

Karl

Are you using LWJGL 1.0?

The latest 1.1 exposes context and device, allowing the following test:
import org.lwjgl.LWJGLException;
import org.lwjgl.openal.AL;
import org.lwjgl.openal.ALC10;
import org.lwjgl.openal.ALCcontext;
import org.lwjgl.openal.ALCdevice;


public class ForumTest {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		try {
			System.out.println("Creating AL");
			AL.create();
			
			ALCcontext alcContext = ALC10.alcGetCurrentContext();
			ALCdevice alcDevice = ALC10.alcGetContextsDevice(alcContext);
			
			System.out.println("Context: " + alcContext + ", Device: " + alcDevice);			
			ALC10.alcMakeContextCurrent(null);
			
			System.out.println("nuked context: " + ALC10.alcGetCurrentContext());
			
			ALC10.alcDestroyContext(alcContext);
			ALC10.alcCloseDevice(alcDevice);
		} catch (LWJGLException le) {
			le.printStackTrace();
		}

		System.out.println("ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT: " + ALC10.alcIsExtensionPresent(null, "ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT"));
		AL.destroy();
	}
}


to give this result:
Creating AL
QuoteContext: org.lwjgl.openal.ALCcontext@156ee8e, Device: org.lwjgl.openal.ALCdevice@47b480
nuked context: null
ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT: true

However, doing the ALC10.alcMakeContextCurrent(null); as is recommended causes a VM crash, so this is something which I will investigate...

Currently there is no way to only load the native code without creating a default context and device. I am not sure I see any benefits in doing a whole lot of work to allow this, since you can just nuke the context and device after the default one has been created?

I agree you can easily nuke the current context. But that causes the problem I pointed out earlier. If you nuke the context and then call:
alcIsExtensionPresent(null, "ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT")


The JVM crashes... hmmm I'm going to have to look into this more. I miss read the getDevice code...

the problem seems to be that the following two lines:
ALCcontext alcContext = ALC10.alcGetCurrentContext();
			ALCdevice alcDevice = ALC10.alcGetContextsDevice(alcContext);

grabs the same device and context that AL uses internally - so when destroy is called on AL it will fail.
Adding this code to ALC10:
// nuke internal copy if same address
		if(context.context == AL.context.context) {
			AL.context = null;
		}
- and similar for device, will keep AL happy - and you can do what you want without any issues - except for the forced creation of the initial device and context.
I am not sure if this is a particularly nice way to handle it tho, so not comitted yet.

The code:
AL.create();
ALCcontext alcContext = alcGetCurrentContext();
ALCdevice alcDevice = alcGetContextsDevice(alcContext);
alcMakeContextCurrent(null);
alcDestroyContext(alcContext);
alcCloseDevice(alcDevice);
System.out.println("HERE1");
System.out.flush();
alcIsExtensionPresent(null, "ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT");
System.out.println("HERE2");
System.out.flush();

ah ok it makes sense again  :P

the check error grabs the device that it assumes was created and left alone in AL

public static void checkALCError() {
		int err = ALC10.alcGetError(AL.getDevice());
		if (err != ALC10.ALC_NO_ERROR)
			throw new OpenALException(ALC10.alcGetString(AL.getDevice(), err));
	}


Hmm now I wonder what will happen if I change the device to one other than what LWJGL is using.  I would guess I wouldn't get my error codes since I would be working w/ a different device... (that is unless I check getError myself).

I think org.lwjgl.openal.Util.checkALCError() should take a device as a parameter.  I think that would solve my current issue and possible be more correct for LWJGL since according to eclipse all methods in LWJGL which call org.lwjgl.openal.Util.checkALCError() have a device pointer:

org.lwjgl.openal.ALC10.alcCreateContext(ALCdevice, IntBuffer)
org.lwjgl.openal.ALC10.alcGetEnumValue(ALCdevice, String)
org.lwjgl.openal.ALC10.alcGetInteger(ALCdevice, int, IntBuffer)
org.lwjgl.openal.ALC10.alcGetString(ALCdevice, int)
org.lwjgl.openal.ALC10.alcIsExtensionPresent(ALCdevice, String)

Going through the newly exposed context and device stuff there are a number of issue related to this.
An updated version will track created devices and contexts to remove any VM crashes by passing already invalidated contexts and devices. Furthermore checkALCError will be expanded to include the relevant device.
Working on it right now...
