    The difference in indentation can easily be seen here (at least in my browser).



indra/llrender/llgl.h
<http://codereview.secondlife.com/r/603/#comment1158>

    After a function body, no semicolon is needed, whether that body is empty or not. (The semicolons on the preexisting lines above are different, as these functions don't have a body.)

The virtual destructor ensures that the destructor for the derived class also gets called when we call "delete mfence;".

Perhaps it can be uncommented now? I haven't tried yet. There was no note as to why the code is commented out.

I did notice that any llCharacters that are moving around don't get rendered properly by my build, but I don't know if it's because of this code revision or something else. I need to do further testing on that.
