cogl: rename CoglMaterial -> CoglPipeline This applies an API naming change that's been deliberated over for a while now which is to rename CoglMaterial to CoglPipeline. For now the new pipeline API is marked as experimental and public headers continue to talk about materials not pipelines. The CoglMaterial API is now maintained in terms of the cogl_pipeline API internally. Currently this API is targeting Cogl 2.0 so we will have time to integrate it properly with other upcoming Cogl 2.0 work. The basic reasons for the rename are: - That the term "material" implies to many people that they are constrained to fragment processing; perhaps as some kind of high-level texture abstraction. - In Clutter they get exposed by ClutterTexture actors which may be re-inforcing this misconception. - When comparing how other frameworks use the term material, a material sometimes describes a multi-pass fragment processing technique which isn't the case in Cogl. - In code, "CoglPipeline" will hopefully be a much more self documenting summary of what these objects represent; a full GPU pipeline configuration including, for example, vertex processing, fragment processing and blending. - When considering the API documentation story, at some point we need a document introducing developers to how the "GPU pipeline" works so it should become intuitive that CoglPipeline maps back to that description of the GPU pipeline. - This is consistent in terminology and concept to OpenGL 4's new pipeline object which is a container for program objects. Note: The cogl-material.[ch] files have been renamed to cogl-material-compat.[ch] because otherwise git doesn't seem to treat the change as a moving the old cogl-material.c->cogl-pipeline.c and so we loose all our git-blame history.

pipeline: improve real_blend_enable checks Since _cogl_pipeline_update_blend_enable() can sometimes show up quite high in profiles; instead of calling _cogl_pipeline_update_blend_enable() whenever we change pipeline state that may affect blending we now just set a dirty flag and when we flush a pipeline we check this dirty flag and lazily calculate whether blender really needs to be enabled if it's set. Since it turns out we were too optimistic in assuming most GL drivers would recognize blending with ADD(src,0) is equivalent to disabling GL_BLEND we now check this case ourselves so we can always explicitly disable GL_BLEND if we know we don't need blending. This introduces the idea of an 'unknown_color_alpha' boolean to the pipeline flush code which is set whenever we can't guarantee that the color attribute is opaque. For example this is set whenever a user specifies a color attribute with 4 components when drawing a primitive. This boolean needs to be cached along with every pipeline because pipeline::real_blend_enabled depends on this and so we need to also call _cogl_pipeline_update_blend_enable() if the status of this changes. Incidentally with this patch we now no longer ever use _cogl_pipeline_set_blend_enable() internally. For now the internal api hasn't been removed though since we might want to consider re-purposing it as a public api since it will now not conflict with our own internal state tracking and could provide a more convenient way to disable blending than setting a blend string.

Re-design the matrix stack using a graph of ops This re-designs the matrix stack so we now keep track of each separate operation such as rotating, scaling, translating and multiplying as immutable, ref-counted nodes in a graph. Being a "graph" here means that different transformations composed of a sequence of linked operation nodes may share nodes. The first node in a matrix-stack is always a LOAD_IDENTITY operation. As an example consider if an application where to draw three rectangles A, B and C something like this: cogl_framebuffer_scale (fb, 2, 2, 2); cogl_framebuffer_push_matrix(fb); cogl_framebuffer_translate (fb, 10, 0, 0); cogl_framebuffer_push_matrix(fb); cogl_framebuffer_rotate (fb, 45, 0, 0, 1); cogl_framebuffer_draw_rectangle (...); /* A */ cogl_framebuffer_pop_matrix(fb); cogl_framebuffer_draw_rectangle (...); /* B */ cogl_framebuffer_pop_matrix(fb); cogl_framebuffer_push_matrix(fb); cogl_framebuffer_set_modelview_matrix (fb, &mv); cogl_framebuffer_draw_rectangle (...); /* C */ cogl_framebuffer_pop_matrix(fb); That would result in a graph of nodes like this: LOAD_IDENTITY | SCALE / \ SAVE LOAD | | TRANSLATE RECTANGLE(C) | \ SAVE RECTANGLE(B) | ROTATE | RECTANGLE(A) Each push adds a SAVE operation which serves as a marker to rewind too when a corresponding pop is issued and also each SAVE node may also store a cached matrix representing the composition of all its ancestor nodes. This means if we repeatedly need to resolve a real CoglMatrix for a given node then we don't need to repeat the composition. Some advantages of this design are: - A single pointer to any node in the graph can now represent a complete, immutable transformation that can be logged for example into a journal. Previously we were storing a full CoglMatrix in each journal entry which is 16 floats for the matrix itself as well as space for flags and another 16 floats for possibly storing a cache of the inverse. This means that we significantly reduce the size of the journal when drawing lots of primitives and we also avoid copying over 128 bytes per entry. - It becomes much cheaper to check for equality. In cases where some (unlikely) false negatives are allowed simply comparing the pointers of two matrix stack graph entries is enough. Previously we would use memcmp() to compare matrices. - It becomes easier to do comparisons of transformations. By looking for the common ancestry between nodes we can determine the operations that differentiate the transforms and use those to gain a high level understanding of the differences. For example we use this in the journal to be able to efficiently determine when two rectangle transforms only differ by some translation so that we can perform software clipping.
