/* XXX: For an overview of the functionality implemented here, please

 */

/*
 * TODO: We need to do a better job of minimizing when we call glVertexPointer
 * and pals in enable_state_for_drawing_buffer
 *
 * We should have an internal 2-tuple cache of (VBO, offset) for each of them
 * so we can avoid some GL calls. We could have cogl wrappers for the
 * gl*Pointer funcs that look like this:
 *
 * cogl_vertex_pointer (n_components, gl_type, stride, vbo, offset);
 * cogl_color_pointer (n_components, gl_type, stride, vbo, offset);
 *
 * They would also accept NULL for the VBO handle to support old style vertex
 * arrays.
 *
 * TODO:
 * Actually hook this up to the cogl shaders infrastructure. The vertex
 * buffer API has been designed to allow adding of arbitrary attributes for use
 * with shaders, but this has yet to be actually plumbed together and tested.
 * The bits we are missing:
 * - cogl_program_use doesn't currently record within ctx-> which program
 *   is currently in use so a.t.m only Clutter knows the current shader.
 * - We don't query the current shader program for the generic vertex indices
 *   (using glGetAttribLocation) so that we can call glEnableVertexAttribArray
 *   with those indices.
 *   (currently we just make up consecutive indices)
 * - some dirty flag mechanims to know when the shader program has changed
 *   so we don't need to re-query it each time we draw a buffer.
 *
 * TODO
 * Expose API that lets developers get back a buffer handle for a particular
 * polygon so they may add custom attributes to them.
 * - It should be possible to query/modify attributes efficiently, in place,
 *   avoiding copies. It would not be acceptable to simply require that
 *   developers must query back the n_vertices of a buffer and then the
 *   n_components, type and stride etc of each attribute since there
 *   would be too many combinations to realistically handle.
 *
 * - In practice, some cases might be best solved with a higher level
 *   EditableMesh API, (see futher below) but for many cases I think an
 *   API like this might be appropriate:
 *
 * cogl_vertex_buffer_foreach_vertex (buffer_handle,
 *                                    (AttributesBufferIteratorFunc)callback,
 *			              "gl_Vertex", "gl_Color", NULL);
 * static void callback (CoglVertexBufferVertex *vert)
 * {
 *    GLfloat *pos = vert->attrib[0];
 *    GLubyte *color = vert->attrib[1];
 *    GLfloat *new_attrib = buf[vert->index];
 *
 *    new_attrib = pos*color;
 * }
 *
 * TODO
 * Think about a higher level Mesh API for building/modifying attribute buffers
 * - E.g. look at Blender for inspiration here. They can build a mesh from
 *   "MVert", "MFace" and "MEdge" primitives.

   *   else
   *     add to the new-multipack-CBO
   * free list of unsorted-attribs
   *
   * Next compare the new list of CBOs with the submitted set and try to
   * minimize the memory bandwidth required to upload the attributes and the
   * overhead of creating new GL-BOs.
   *
   * We deal with four sets of CBOs:
   * - The "new" CBOs
   *    (as determined above during filtering)
   * - The "re-use" CBOs
   *    (as determined above during filtering)
   * - The "submitted" CBOs
   *    (I.e. ones currently submitted to the GPU)
   * - The "final" CBOs
   *	(The result of resolving the differences between the above sets)
   *
   * The re-use CBOs are dealt with first, and we simply delete any remaining
   * attributes in these that are still marked as UNUSED, and move them
   * to the list of final CBOs.
   *
   * Next we iterate through the "new" CBOs, searching for conflicts
   * with the "submitted" CBOs and commit our decision to the "final" CBOs
   *
   * When searching for submitted entries we always unlink items from the
   * submitted list once we make matches (before we make descisions
   * based on the matches). If the CBO node is superseded it is freed,
   * if it is modified but may be needed for more descisions later it is
   * relinked back into the submitted list and if it's identical to a new
   * CBO it will be linked into the final list.
   *
   * At the end the list of submitted CBOs represents the attributes that were
   * deleted from the buffer.
   *
   * Iterate re-use-CBOs:
   *   Iterate attribs for each:
   *	 if attrib UNUSED:
   *	   remove the attrib from the CBO + free
   *	   |Note: we could potentially mark this as a re-useable gap
   *	   |if needs be later.
   *   add re-use CBO to the final-CBOs
   * Iterate new-CBOs:
   *   List submitted CBOs conflicting with the this CBO (Unlinked items)
   *   found-target-BO=FALSE
   *   Iterate conflicting CBOs:
   *	 Disassociate conflicting attribs from conflicting CBO struct
   *	 If no attribs remain:
   *	   If found-target-BO!=TRUE
   *	   _AND_ If the total size of the conflicting CBO is compatible:
   *	   |Note: We don't currently consider re-using oversized buffers
   *	     found-target-BO=TRUE
   *	     upload replacement data
   *	     free submitted CBO struct
   *	     add new CBO struct to final-CBOs
   *	   else:
   *	     delete conflict GL-BO
   *	     delete conflict CBO struct
   *	 else:
   *	   relink CBO back into submitted-CBOs
   *
   *   if found-target-BO == FALSE:
   *	 create a new GL-BO
   *	 upload data
   *	 add new CBO struct to final-BOs
   *
   * Iterate through the remaining "submitted" CBOs:
   *   delete the submitted GL-BO
   *   free the submitted CBO struct
