19b8622983 Optimize culling by doing culling in eye-coordinates
This implements a variation of frustum culling whereby we convert screen
space clip rectangles into eye space mini-frustums so that we don't have
to repeatedly transform actor paint-volumes all the way into screen
coordinates to perform culling, we just have to apply the modelview
transform and then determine each points distance from the planes that
make up the clip frustum.

By avoiding the projective transform, perspective divide and viewport
scale for each point culled this makes culling much cheaper.

013b2433f0 viewport: consistently use floats for viewports
OpenGL < 4.0 only supports integer based viewports and internally we
have a mixture of code using floats and integers for viewports. This
patch switches all viewports throughout clutter and cogl to be
represented using floats considering that in the future we may want to
take advantage of floating point viewports with modern hardware/drivers.

ef4688fd0e Avoid direct access to the main context events queue
The GQueue that stores the global events queue is handled all over the
place:

  • the structure is created in _clutter_backend_init_events();
  • the queue is handled in clutter-event.c, clutter-stage.c and
    clutter-backend.c;
  • ClutterStage::dispose cleans up the events associated with
    the stage being destroyed;
  • the queue is destroyed in ClutterBackend::dispose.

Since we need to have access to it in different places we cannot put it
inside ClutterBackendPrivate, hence it should stay in ClutterMainContext;
but we should still manage it from just one place - preferably by the
ClutterEvent API only.

1b1e77b469 event/x11: Rework the way we translate X11 events
This is a lump commit that is fairly difficult to break down without
either breaking bisecting or breaking the test cases.

The new design for handling X11 event translation works this way:

  - ClutterBackend::translate_event() has been added as the central
    point used by a ClutterBackend implementation to translate a
    native event into a ClutterEvent;

  - ClutterEventTranslator is a private interface that should be
    implemented by backend-specific objects, like stage
    implementations and ClutterDeviceManager sub-classes, and
    allows dealing with class-specific event translation;

  - ClutterStageX11 implements EventTranslator, and deals with the
    stage-relative X11 events coming from the X11 event source;

  - ClutterStageGLX overrides EventTranslator, in order to
    deal with the INTEL_GLX_swap_event extension, and it chains up
    to the X11 default implementation;

  - ClutterDeviceManagerX11 has been split into two separate classes,
    one that deals with core and (optionally) XI1 events, and the
    other that deals with XI2 events; the selection is done at run-time,
    since the core+XI1 and XI2 mechanisms are mutually exclusive.

All the other backends we officially support still use their own
custom event source and translation function, but the end goal is to
migrate them to the translate_event() virtual function, and have the
event source be a shared part of Clutter core.

f753b0c4a1 Wrap g_object_class_install_properties()
GObject ≥ 2.26.0 added a nice convenience call for installing properties
from an array of GParamSpec. Since we're already storing all GParamSpec
in an array in order to use them with g_object_notify_by_pspec(), this
turns out nicely for us.

Since we do not depend on GLib 2.26 (yet), we need to provide a simple
private wrapper that implements the fall back to the default
g_object_class_install_property() call.

ClutterDragAction has been converted as a proof of concept.

51fca9d968 actor: Adds private _clutter_actor_traverse API
This adds two internal functions relating to explicit traversal of the
scenegraph:
_clutter_actor_foreach_child
_clutter_actor_traverse

_clutter_actor_foreach_child just iterates the immediate children of an
actor, and with a new ClutterForeachCallback type it allows the
callbacks to break iteration early.

_clutter_actor_traverse traverses the given actor and all of its
decendants. Again traversal can be stopped early if a callback returns
FALSE.

The first intended use for _clutter_actor_traverse is to maintain a
cache pointer to the stage for all actors. In this case we will need to
update the pointer for all descendants of an actor when an actor is
reparented in any way.

9a1abbc713 actor: Adds private _clutter_actor_get_n_children
This adds a private getter to query the number of children an actor has.
One use planned for this API is to avoid calling get_paint_volume on
such actors. (It's not clear what the best semantics for
get_paint_volume are for actors with children, so we are considering
leaving the semantics undefined for the initial clutter 1.4 release)

3b789490d2 actor: defer queue-redraw signaling
Instead of immediately, recursively emitting the "queue-redraw" signal
when clutter_actor_queue_redraw is called we now defer this process
until all stage updates are complete. This allows us to aggregate
repeated _queue_redraw requests for the same actor avoiding redundant
paint volume transformations. By deferring we also increase the
likelihood that the actor will have a valid paint volume since it will
have an up to date allocation; this in turn means we will more often be
able to automatically queue clipped redraws which can have a big impact
on performance.

Here's an outline of the actor queue redraw mechanism:

The process starts in clutter_actor_queue_redraw or
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip.

These functions queue an entry in a list associated with the stage which
is a list of actors that queued a redraw while updating the timelines,
performing layouting and processing other mainloop sources before the
next paint starts.

We aim to minimize the processing done at this point because there is a
good chance other events will happen while updating the scenegraph that
would invalidate any expensive work we might otherwise try to do here.
For example we don't try and resolve the screen space bounding box of an
actor at this stage so as to minimize how much of the screen redraw
because it's possible something else will happen which will force a full
redraw anyway.

When all updates are complete and we come to paint the stage (see
_clutter_stage_do_update) then we iterate this list and actually emit
the "queue-redraw" signals for each of the listed actors which will
bubble up to the stage for each actor and at that point we will
transform the actors paint volume into screen coordinates to determine
the clip region for what needs to be redrawn in the next paint.

Note: actors are allowed to queue a redraw in reseponse to a
queue-redraw signal so we repeat the processing of the list until it
remains empty. An example of when this happens is for Clone actors or
clutter_texture_new_from_actor actors which need to queue a redraw if
their source queues a redraw.

7d8effd5e2 paint_volume: add private api to change reference actor
For Clone actors we will need a way to report the volume of the source
actor as the volume of the clone actor. To make this work though we need
to be able to replace the reference to the source actor with a reference
to the clone actor instead. This adds a private
_clutter_paint_volume_set_reference_actor function to do that.

2d895816be paint_volume: Adds _clutter_paint_volume_set_from_volume

_fully_transform_vertices, this function has now been moved to

b499696d83 Use paint volumes to do automatic culling
This uses actor paint volumes to perform culling during
clutter_actor_paint.

When performing a clipped redraw (because only a few localized actors
changed) then as we traverse the scenegraph painting the actors we can
now ignore actors that don't intersect the clip region. Early testing
shows this can have a big performance benefit; e.g. 100% fps improvement
for test-state with culling enabled and we hope that there are even much
more compelling examples than that in the real world,

Most Clutter applications are 2Dish interfaces and have quite a lot of
actors that get continuously painted when anything is animated. The
dynamic actors are often localized to an area of user focus though so
with culling we can completely avoid painting any of the static actors
outside the current clip region.

Obviously the cost of culling has to be offset against the cost of
painting to determine if it's a win, but our (limited) testing suggests
it should be a win for most applications.

Note: we hope we will be able to also bring another performance bump
from culling with another iteration - hopefully in the 1.6 cycle - to
avoid doing the culling in screen space and instead do it in the stage's
model space. This will hopefully let us minimize the cost of
transforming the actor volumes for culling.

1ea7145efc Queue clipped redraws work in terms of paint volumes
There is an internal _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip API that gets
used for texture-from-pixmap to minimize what we redraw in response to
Damage events. It was previously working in terms of a ClutterActorBox
but it has now been changed so an actor can queue a redraw of volume
instead.

The plan is that clutter_actor_queue_redraw will start to transparently
use _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip when it can determine a paint
volume for the actor.

3540d222e1 paint volumes: another pass at the design
This is a fairly extensive second pass at exposing paint volumes for
actors.

The API has changed to allow clutter_actor_get_paint_volume to fail
since there are times - such as when an actor isn't a descendent of the
stage - when the volume can't be determined. Another example is when
something has connected to the "paint" signal of the actor and we simply
have no way of knowing what might be drawn in that handler.

The API has also be changed to return a const ClutterPaintVolume pointer
(transfer none) so we can avoid having to dynamically allocate the
volumes in the most common/performance critical code paths. Profiling was
showing the slice allocation of volumes taking about 1% of an apps time,
for some fairly basic tests. Most volumes can now simply be allocated on
the stack; for clutter_actor_get_paint_volume we return a pointer to
&priv->paint_volume and if we need a more dynamic allocation there is
now a _clutter_stage_paint_volume_stack_allocate() mechanism which lets
us allocate data which expires at the start of the next frame.

The API has been extended to make it easier to implement
get_paint_volume for containers by using
clutter_actor_get_transformed_paint_volume and
clutter_paint_volume_union. The first allows you to query the paint
volume of a child but transformed into parent actor coordinates. The
second lets you combine volumes together so you can union all the
volumes for a container's children and report that as the container's
own volume.

The representation of paint volumes has been updated to consider that
2D actors are the most common.

The effect apis, clutter-texture and clutter-group have been update
accordingly.

25abdf09b7 effect: Allow any effect to override the paint volume
An Effect implementation might override the paint volume of the actor to
which it is applied to. The get_paint_volume() virtual function should
be added to the Effect class vtable so that any effect can get the
current paint volume and update it.

The clutter_actor_get_paint_volume() function becomes context aware, and
does the right thing if called from within a ClutterEffect pre_paint()
or post_paint() implementation, by allowing all effects in the chain up
to the caller to modify the paint volume.

94ce747f83 actor: Allow querying the paint volume
An actor has an implicit "paint volume", that is the volume in 3D space
occupied when painting itself.

The paint volume is defined as a cuboid with the origin placed at the
top-left corner of the actor; the size of the cuboid is given by three
vectors: width, height and depth.

ClutterActor provides API to convert the paint volume into a 2D box in
screen coordinates, to compute the on-screen area that an actor will
occupy when painted.

Actors can override the default implementation of the get_paint_volume()
virtual function to provide a different volume.

56929942a8 picking: Fix tracking of pick buffer validity
We have an optimization to track when there are multiple picks per
frame so we can do a full render of the pick buffer to reduce the
number of pick renders for a static scene.

There was a problem though in that we were tracking this information in
the ClutterMainContext, but conceptually this doesn't really make sense
because the pick buffer is associated with a stage framebuffer and there
can be multiple stages for one context.

This patch moves the state tracking to ClutterStage.

d7e86e2696 picking: Fix tracking of pick buffer validity
We have an optimization to track when there are multiple picks per
frames so we can do a full render of the pick buffer to reduce the
number of pick renders for a static scene.

There were two problems with how we were tracking this state though.
Firstly we were tracking this information in the ClutterMainContext, but
conceptually this doesn't really make sense because the pick buffer is
associated with a stage framebuffer and there can be multiple stages for
one context.  Secondly - since the change to how redraws are queued - we
weren't marking the pick buffer as invalid when a queuing a redraw, we
were only marking the buffer invalid when signaling/finishing the
queue-redraw process, which is now deferred until just before a paint.
This meant using clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos after a scenegraph
change could give a wrong result if it just read from an existing (but
technically invalid) pick buffer.

This patch moves the state tracking to ClutterStage, and ensures the
buffer is invalidated in _clutter_stage_queue_actor_redraw.

f5f066df9c Try to clean up how we handle actor transformations
When building actor relative transforms, instead of using the matrix
stack to combine transformations and making assumptions about what is
currently on the stack we now just explicitly initialize an identity
matrix and apply transforms to that.

This removes the full_vertex_t typedef for internal transformation code
and we just use ClutterVertex.

ClutterStage now implements apply_transform like any other actor now
and the code we had in _cogl_setup_viewport has been moved to the
stage's apply_transform instead.

ClutterStage now tracks an explicit projection matrix and viewport
geometry. The projection matrix is derived from the perspective whenever
that changes, and the viewport is updated when the stage gets a new
allocation. The SYNC_MATRICES mechanism has been removed in favour of
_clutter_stage_dirty_viewport/projection() APIs that get used when
switching between multiple stages to ensure cogl has the latest
information about the onscreen framebuffer.

965907deb3 Cache a full pick render if we have a static stage
The idea is that if we see multiple picks per frame then that implies
the visible scene has become static. In this case we can promote the
next pick render to be unclipped so we have valid pick values for the
entire stage. Now we can continue to read from this cached buffer until
the stage contents do visibly change.

Thanks to Luca Bruno on #clutter for this idea!
