GXGetScissor

• Category: Clipping and Culling
• Matrix Status: Implemented
• Matrix Notes: Verified scissor getter returns current GX screen-space rectangle values with SDK-style strict pointer semantics (no fail-soft null handling).
• Matrix Link: Gfx-GX-API-Matrix

Official SDK (Reference)

• Manual root: reference/rvlsdk/man/en_US/gx
• Primary SDK source area: demos/PikminDemo/src/gx (GC-style Dolphin GX source)
• Notes:
  • Confirm official signature/prototype
  • Confirm documented side effects (register/state updates)
  • Confirm special behavior and edge cases from manual

libPorpoise Implementation

• Runtime implementation area: src/gx
• Public API surface: include/dolphin/gx
• Notes:
  • Confirm API signature matches SDK
  • Confirm state writes match SDK semantics
  • Confirm backend behavior in PC renderer path

Validation Checklist

• GX demo coverage checked
• Pikmin usage path checked
• Matrix status updated if needed
• Notes updated with concrete file/function references

Working Notes

• Docs checked against reference/man/gfx/gx/Culling/GXGetScissor.html and SDK source in reference/gx/GXTransform.c.
• SDK behavior:
  • Requires all output pointers (left/top/wd/ht) to be valid (ASSERTMSG contract).
  • Returns screen-space scissor origin and dimensions.
• Runtime parity update in src/gx/pc_gx.c:
  • Removed per-pointer null guards in GXGetScissor.
  • Function now writes all four outputs unconditionally, matching strict SDK pointer contract.
