Code review comment for lp://qastaging/~afrantzis/mir/buffer-bind-to-render-image

The benefit is that you can implement a couple of default renderers in core and then never touch those renders again. No matter how many new drivers/platforms are added over time.

I have indeed been making the assumption that DirectFB is linear underneath and you can somehow get the address of those pixels. If that was not true, then the answer is still simple: Then DirectFB is just another graphics language. Admittedly that would then require a new renderer, but new graphics languages are rare.
