/**
* SECTION:cogl-indices
* @short_description: Describe vertex indices stored in a #CoglIndexBuffer.
*
* Indices allow you to avoid duplicating vertices in your vertex data
* by virtualizing your data and instead providing a sequence of index
* values that tell the GPU which data should be used for each vertex.
*
* If the GPU is given a sequence of indices it doesn't simply walk
* through each vertex of your data in order it will instead walk
* through the indices which can provide random access to the
* underlying data.
*
* Since it's very common to have duplicate vertices when describing a
* shape as a list of triangles it can often be a significant space
* saving to describe geometry using indices. Reducing the size of
* your models can make it cheaper to map them into the GPU by
* reducing the demand on memory bandwidth and may help to make better
* use of your GPUs internal vertex caching.
*
* For example, to describe a quadrilateral as 2 triangles for the GPU
* you could either provide data with 6 vertices or instead with
* indices you can provide vertex data for just 4 vertices and an
* index buffer that specfies the 6 vertices by indexing the shared
* vertices multiple times.
*
* |[
* CoglVertex2f quad_vertices[] = {
* {x0, y0}, //0 = top left
* {x1, y1}, //1 = bottom left
* {x2, y2}, //2 = bottom right
* {x3, y3}, //3 = top right
* };
* //tell the gpu how to interpret the quad as 2 triangles...
* unsigned char indices[] = {0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3};
* ]|
*
* Even in the above illustration we see a saving of 10bytes for one
* quad compared to having data for 6 vertices and no indices but if
* you need to draw 100s or 1000s of quads then its really quite
* significant.
*
* Something else to consider is that often indices can be defined
* once and remain static while the vertex data may change for
* animations perhaps. That means you may be able to ignore the
* negligable cost of mapping your indices into the GPU if they don't
* ever change.
*
* The above illustration is actually a good example of static indices
* because it's really common that developers have quad mesh data that
* they need to display and we know exactly what that indices array
* needs to look like depending on the number of quads that need to be
* drawn. It doesn't matter how the quads might be animated and
* changed the indices will remain the same. Cogl even has a utility
* (cogl_get_rectangle_indices()) to get access to re-useable indices
* for drawing quads as above.

Add -Wmissing-declarations to maintainer flags and fix problems This option to GCC makes it give a warning whenever a global function is defined without a declaration. This should catch cases were we've defined a function but forgot to put it in a header. In that case it is either only used within one file so we should make it static or we should declare it in a header. The following changes where made to fix problems: • Some functions were made static • cogl-path.h (the one containing the 1.0 API) was split into two files, one defining the functions and one defining the enums so that cogl-path.c can include the enum and function declarations from the 2.0 API as well as the function declarations from the 1.0 API. • cogl2-clip-state has been removed. This only had one experimental function called cogl_clip_push_from_path but as this is unstable we might as well remove it favour of the equivalent cogl_framebuffer_* API. • The GLX, SDL and WGL winsys's now have a private header to define their get_vtable function instead of directly declaring in the C file where it is called. • All places that were calling COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE need to have the cogl_is_whatever function declared so these have been added either as a public function or in a private header. • Some files that were not including the header containing their function declarations have been fixed to do so. • Any unused error quark functions have been removed. If we later want them we should add them back one by one and add a declaration for them in a header. • _cogl_is_framebuffer has been renamed to cogl_is_framebuffer and made a public function with a declaration in cogl-framebuffer.h • Similarly for CoglOnscreen. • cogl_vdraw_indexed_attributes is called cogl_framebuffer_vdraw_indexed_attributes in the header. The definition has been changed to match the header. • cogl_index_buffer_allocate has been removed. This had no declaration and I'm not sure what it's supposed to do. • CoglJournal has been changed to use the internal CoglObject macro so that it won't define an exported cogl_is_journal symbol. • The _cogl_blah_pointer_from_handle functions have been removed. CoglHandle isn't used much anymore anyway and in the few places where it is used I think it's safe to just use the implicit cast from void* to the right type. • The test-utils.h header for the conformance tests explicitly disables the -Wmissing-declaration option using a pragma because all of the tests declare their main function without a header. Any mistakes relating to missing declarations aren't really important for the tests. • cogl_quaternion_init_from_quaternion and init_from_matrix have been given declarations in cogl-quaternion.h Reviewed-by: Robert Bragg <robert@linux.intel.com>
