This was easy to implement simply by overriding IntersectionVisitor::apply(PagedLOD). My question is: Are there any opinions on whether this should be the default behavior? If it makes sense, I will submit the change; if not, no worries."
is based on suggested fix from Marco for fixing a crash due to lack of
thread safety in std::ofstream("/dev/null"); The fix is to use a custom stream
buffer that just discards all data. The implementation is also twice as fast
as the old /dev/null based approach.

This bug has been reported to NVidia, confirmed and fixed by NVidia but awaits verifiaction and release if a driver which fixes this bug.

manageable by the OSG itself (e.g. 3rd party buggy program) but one
would expect the plugin to be able to recover by returning
ReadResult::ERROR_IN_READING_FILE.
libpng provides two callbacks for warnings and errors - those are
currently unused. By default, they point to function that call exit()
or something similar (the default error callback never returns). This
patch registers the callbacks using libpng's mechanisms, makes the
warning callback emit an osg::notify(osg::WARN) message and the error
callback throw an error. The reading process is enclosed in a
try...catch block. Upon error, the memory is freed and
ReadResult::ERROR_IN_READING_FILE is returned.

I investigated your concerns about glGenerateMipmapEXT being slower than
GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP_SGIS, and for power-of-two textures, to my surprise
it is. For a 512*512 texture, glGenerateMipmapEXT takes on average 10ms,
while GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP_SGIS takes on average 6ms. Therefore I have
modified the code to only use glGenerateMipmapEXT if the texture has a
non-power-of-two width or height. I am resubmitting all the files
previously submitted (only "Texture.cpp" has significant changes since
my previous submission, I've also replaced tabs with spaces in
"Texture").

first post:
"I had the problem that debug and release version of the plugins had the same name under linux. These minors modification to Registry and the CMake support files enable to have both Release and Debug version of the plugins to coexist and be found by there respective runtimes."
follow up post:
"I've gone ahead and added a preprocessor directive with the editable CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX. I modified Registry.cpp to take this new preprocessor directive called OSG_DEBUG_POSTFIX while looking for libraries in Debug mode for the windows (msvc) and the linux platforms.
MinGW, cygwin and Apple are still left out this proposal."
Notes from Robert Osfield, completed the work in change d entries to use OSG_DEBUG_POSTFIX
GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP_SGIS is very slow (over half a second for a 720*576
texture). However, glGenerateMipmapEXT() performs well (16ms for the
same texture), so I have modified the attached files to use
Texture::generateMipmap() if glGenerateMipmapEXT is supported, instead
of enabling & disabling GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP_SGIS."
Notes, from Robert Osfield, I've tested the out of the previous path using
GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP_SGIS and non power of two textures on NVidia 7800GT and
Nvidia linux drivers with the image size 720x576 and only get compile times
of 56ms, so the above half second speed looks to be a driver bug. With
Muchael's changes the cost goes done to less than 5ms, so it's certainly
an effective change, even given that Michael's poor expereiences with
GL_GENERATE_MIP_SGIS do look to be a driver bug.
The first bug is that the terrain tiles will page out to a lower LOD when they are right in front of you. The issue appears to be with the blacklisting heuristic which forces a tile to LOD 1, commenting out the usage of blacklisting with the LOD Nodes fixes our problem. This code change was made to line 29 of TXPPageLOD.cpp.
The second bug we were experiencing is that the database reader options never make it through to the archive loader. The use case for us appeared when the FID codes for the terrain were no longer on the materials. As it turns out the archive was being created twice, once by TXPNode and once by the ReaderWriterTXP on getArchive() so the options never actually got set on the archive that was being loaded. The fix is to first create the archive by calling getArchive on the ReaderWriterTXP, which stores it in a map for reference later, and then passing that archive into the TXPNode for it to set its internal member. With this code change we only create one archive (not sure what creating two did) and our options flags get set properly on the database.
The changes made are in TXPNode.h line 72 where the TXPArchive is now passed in. In the TXPNode.cpp the loadArchive(TXPArchive*) was changed to have the default behavior if NULL is passed in, if an archive is passed in then it does not load it since all the loading is done in the ReaderWriterTXP::getArchive(). The only other place that loadArchive is called is in TXPIO.cpp where a modification was made to pass in NULL which will have the same behavior as it used to. The last change is the little block of code starting on line 57 of ReaderWriterTXP.cpp, this was changed so that it first calls getArchive() which caches the archives in a map does some loading stuff and returns a pointer to it which is then passed in as a parameter to TXPNode::loadArchive().
The performance changes were made to TXPParser.cpp line 163 where we use to osgUtil::Optimizer on the node before passing it off, and on line 1456 we changed the geometry to use display lists. These small changes actually made drastic performance increases for us, as much as 1000% on certain laptops.
As far as testing goes, we have tested these changes with at least 5 txp databases on a variety of different computers including Mac OS and Linux. The base version used is 2.4."
The reason is if you want to build an application that use a library that use openscenegraph you have to build the full chain in debug or in release.
On windows you have no choice, but on linux you can link with both version without rebuilding everything ...
The patch consist only to change the line on one line
SET(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX "d")
with
SET(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX "d" CACHE STRING "add a postfix, usually d on windows")"
