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.

cogl-pipeline: Add two hook points for adding shader snippets This adds two new public experimental functions for attaching CoglSnippets to two hook points on a CoglPipeline: void cogl_pipeline_add_vertex_hook (CoglPipeline *, CoglSnippet *) void cogl_pipeline_add_fragment_hook (CoglPipeline *, CoglSnippet *) The hooks are intended to be around the entire vertex or fragment processing. That means the pre string in the snippet will be inserted at the very top of the main function and the post function will be inserted at the very end. The declarations get inserted in the global scope. The snippets are stored in two separate linked lists with a structure containing an enum representing the hook point and a pointer to the snippet. The lists are meant to be for hooks that affect the vertex shader and fragment shader respectively. Although there are currently only two hooks and the names match these two lists, the intention is *not* that each new hook will be in a separate list. The separation of the lists is just to make it easier to determine which shader needs to be regenerated when a new snippet is added. When a pipeline becomes the authority for either the vertex or fragment snipper state, it simply copies the entire list from the previous authority (although of course the shader snippet objects are referenced instead of copied so it doesn't duplicate the source strings). Each string is inserted into its own block in the shader. This means that each string has its own scope so it doesn't need to worry about name collisions with variables in other snippets. However it does mean that the pre and post strings can't share variables. It could be possible to wrap both parts in one block and then wrap the actual inner hook code in another block, however this would mean that any further snippets within the outer snippet would be able to see those variables. Perhaps something to consider would be to put each snippet into its own function which calls another function between the pre and post strings to do further processing. The pipeline cache for generated programs was previously shared with the fragment shader cache because the state that affects vertex shaders was a subset of the state that affects fragment shaders. This is no longer the case because there is a separate state mask for vertex snippets so the program cache now has its own hash table. Reviewed-by: Robert Bragg <robert@linux.intel.com>

* Cogl allows creating and manipulating objects representing the full
* configuration of the GPU pipeline. In simplified terms the GPU
* pipeline takes primitive geometry as the input, it first performs
* vertex processing, allowing you to deform your geometry, then
* rasterizes that (turning it from pure geometry into fragments) then
* performs fragment processing including depth testing and texture
* mapping. Finally it blends the result with the framebuffer.

cogl: improves header and coding style consistency We've had complaints that our Cogl code/headers are a bit "special" so this is a first pass at tidying things up by giving them some consistency. These changes are all consistent with how new code in Cogl is being written, but the style isn't consistently applied across all code yet. There are two parts to this patch; but since each one required a large amount of effort to maintain tidy indenting it made sense to combine the changes to reduce the time spent re indenting the same lines. The first change is to use a consistent style for declaring function prototypes in headers. Cogl headers now consistently use this style for prototypes: return_type cogl_function_name (CoglType arg0, CoglType arg1); Not everyone likes this style, but it seems that most of the currently active Cogl developers agree on it. The second change is to constrain the use of redundant glib data types in Cogl. Uses of gint, guint, gfloat, glong, gulong and gchar have all been replaced with int, unsigned int, float, long, unsigned long and char respectively. When talking about pixel data; use of guchar has been replaced with guint8, otherwise unsigned char can be used. The glib types that we continue to use for portability are gboolean, gint{8,16,32,64}, guint{8,16,32,64} and gsize. The general intention is that Cogl should look palatable to the widest range of C programmers including those outside the Gnome community so - especially for the public API - we want to minimize the number of foreign looking typedefs.

cogl_is_pipeline (CoglHandle handle);
Fully integrates CoglMaterial throughout the rest of Cogl This glues CoglMaterial in as the fundamental way that Cogl describes how to fill in geometry. It adds cogl_set_source (), which is used to set the material which will be used by all subsequent drawing functions It adds cogl_set_source_texture as a convenience for setting up a default material with a single texture layer, and cogl_set_source_color is now also a convenience for setting up a material with a solid fill. "drawing functions" include, cogl_rectangle, cogl_texture_rectangle, cogl_texture_multiple_rectangles, cogl_texture_polygon (though the cogl_texture_* funcs have been renamed; see below for details), cogl_path_fill/stroke and cogl_vertex_buffer_draw*. cogl_texture_rectangle, cogl_texture_multiple_rectangles and cogl_texture_polygon no longer take a texture handle; instead the current source material is referenced. The functions have also been renamed to: cogl_rectangle_with_texture_coords, cogl_rectangles_with_texture_coords and cogl_polygon respectivly. Most code that previously did: cogl_texture_rectangle (tex_handle, x, y,...); needs to be changed to now do: cogl_set_source_texture (tex_handle); cogl_rectangle_with_texture_coords (x, y,....); In the less likely case where you were blending your source texture with a color like: cogl_set_source_color4ub (r,g,b,a); /* where r,g,b,a isn't just white */ cogl_texture_rectangle (tex_handle, x, y,...); you will need your own material to do that: mat = cogl_material_new (); cogl_material_set_color4ub (r,g,b,a); cogl_material_set_layer (mat, 0, tex_handle)); cogl_set_source_material (mat); Code that uses the texture coordinates, 0, 0, 1, 1 don't need to use cog_rectangle_with_texure_coords since these are the coordinates that cogl_rectangle will use. For cogl_texture_polygon; as well as dropping the texture handle, the n_vertices and vertices arguments were transposed for consistency. So code previously written as: cogl_texture_polygon (tex_handle, 3, verts, TRUE); need to be written as: cogl_set_source_texture (tex_handle); cogl_polygon (verts, 3, TRUE); All of the unit tests have been updated to now use the material API and test-cogl-material has been renamed to test-cogl-multitexture since any textured quad is now technically a test of CoglMaterial but this test specifically creates a material with multiple texture layers. Note: The GLES backend has not been updated yet; that will be done in a following commit.

cogl-pipeline: Add support for setting uniform values This adds the following new public experimental functions to set uniform values on a CoglPipeline: void cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_1f (CoglPipeline *pipeline, int uniform_location, float value); void cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_1i (CoglPipeline *pipeline, int uniform_location, int value); void cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_float (CoglPipeline *pipeline, int uniform_location, int n_components, int count, const float *value); void cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_int (CoglPipeline *pipeline, int uniform_location, int n_components, int count, const int *value); void cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_matrix (CoglPipeline *pipeline, int uniform_location, int dimensions, int count, gboolean transpose, const float *value); These are similar to the old functions used to set uniforms on a CoglProgram. To get a value to pass in as the uniform_location there is also: int cogl_pipeline_get_uniform_location (CoglPipeline *pipeline, const char *uniform_name); Conceptually the uniform locations are tied to the pipeline so that whenever setting a value for a new pipeline the application is expected to call this function. However in practice the uniform locations are global to the CoglContext. The names are stored in a linked list where the position in the list is the uniform location. The global indices are used so that each pipeline can store a mask of which uniforms it overrides. That way it is quicker to detect which uniforms are different from the last pipeline that used the same CoglProgramState so it can avoid flushing uniforms that haven't changed. Currently the values are not actually compared which means that it will only avoid flushing a uniform if there is a common ancestor that sets the value (or if the same pipeline is being flushed again - in which case the pipeline and its common ancestor are the same thing). The uniform values are stored in the big state of the pipeline as a sparse linked list. A bitmask stores which values have been overridden and only overridden values are stored in the linked list.
