When running tests under Valgrind it would be useful to pass a
suppression file for the known one-off allocations done by Clutter
and by its dependencies. This trims the output of Valgrind and
improves the ability to actually spot leaks.
The ClutterScript parser needs to be extended to parse child properties
and apply them after an actor has been added to a container. In order to
distinguish child properties from regular GObject properties we can use
the "child::" prefix, e.g.:
{
"type" : "ClutterRectangle",
"id" : "child-01",
"child::has-focus" : true,
...
}
Parsing child properties can be deferred to the ClutterScriptable
interface, just like regular properties.
ClutterScript is a very complicated piece of machinery, with a
parser that has custom variations on top of the basic JSON
format; it could also be extended in the future, so if we don't
want to introduce regressions or break existing ClutterScript
definitions, we'd better have a conformance test suite.
The test-script.json UI definition still used old types, like
ClutterLabel and ClutterCloneTexture. It should move to the classes
that have replaced them.
My previous work to provide muti-texturing support has been extended into
a CoglMaterial abstraction that adds control over the texture combine
functions (controlling how multiple texture layers are blended together),
the gl blend function (used for blending the final primitive with the
framebuffer), the alpha function (used to discard fragments based on
their alpha channel), describing attributes such as a diffuse, ambient and
specular color (for use with the standard OpenGL lighting model), and
per layer rotations. (utilizing the new CoglMatrix utility API)
For now the only way this abstraction is exposed is via a new
cogl_material_rectangle function, that is similar to cogl_texture_rectangle
but doesn't take a texture handle (the source material is pulled from
the context), and the array of texture coordinates is extended to be able
to supply coordinates for each layer.
Note: this function doesn't support sliced textures; supporting sliced
textures is a non trivial problem, considering the ability to rotate layers.
Note: cogl_material_rectangle, has quite a few workarounds, for a number of
other limitations within Cogl a.t.m.
Note: The GLES1/2 multi-texturing support has yet to be updated to use
the material abstraction.

The tests have been reorganised into different categories: conformance,
interactive and micro benchmarks.
- conformance tests can be run as part of automated tests
- interactive tests are basically all the existing tests
- micro benchmarks focus on a single performance metric
I converted the timeline tests to conformance tests and also added some
tests from Neil Roberts and Ebassi.
Note: currently only the conformance tests use the glib test APIs,
though the micro benchmarks should too.
The other change is to make the unit tests link into monolithic binaries
which makes the build time for unit tests considerably faster. To deal
with the extra complexity this adds to debugging individual tests I
have added some sugar to the makefiles so all the tests can be run
directly via a symlink and when an individual test is run this way,
then a note is printed to the terminal explaining exactly how that test
may be debugged using GDB.
There is a convenience make rule: 'make test-report', that will run all
the conformance tests and hopefully even open the results in your web
browser. It skips some of the slower timeline tests, but you can run
those using 'make full-report'
