The only backend that tried to implement offscreen stages was the GLX backend
and even this has apparently be broken for some time without anyone noticing.
The property still remains and since the property already clearly states that
it may not work I don't expect anyone to notice.
This simplifies quite a bit of the GLX code which is very desireable from the
POV that we want to start migrating window system code down to Cogl and the
simpler the code is the more straight forward this work will be.
In the future when Cogl has a nicely designed API for framebuffer objects then
re-implementing offscreen stages cleanly for *all* backends should be quite
straightforward.
It looks like the intention was to duplicate an XVisualInfo in such a way
that the pointer could be returned and then later freed using XFree. But
Xalloc isn't an Xlib counterpart to XFree; Xlib doesn't provide a general
purpose malloc wrapper afik. By shuffling things about a bit, it was
possible to avoid the need for this hack.
This function should only need to be called in exceptional circumstances
since Cogl can normally determine internally when a flush is necessary.
As an optimization Cogl drawing functions may batch up primitives
internally, so if you are trying to use raw GL outside of Cogl you stand a
better chance of being successful if you ask Cogl to flush any batched
geometry before making your state changes.
cogl_flush() ensures that the underlying driver is issued all the commands
necessary to draw the batched primitives. It provides no guarantees about
when the driver will complete the rendering.
This provides no guarantees about the GL state upon returning and to avoid
confusing Cogl you should aim to restore any changes you make before
resuming use of Cogl.
If you are making state changes with the intention of affecting Cogl drawing
primitives you are 100% on your own since you stand a good chance of
conflicting with Cogl internals. For example clutter-gst which currently
uses direct GL calls to bind ARBfp programs will very likely break when Cogl
starts to use ARBfb programs internally for the material API, but for now it
can use cogl_flush() to at least ensure that the ARBfp program isn't applied
to additional primitives.
This does not provide a robust generalized solution supporting safe use of
raw GL, its use is very much discouraged.
Previously the journal was always flushed at the end of
_cogl_rectangles_with_multitexture_coords, (i.e. the end of any
cogl_rectangle* calls) but now we have broadened the potential for batching
geometry. In ideal circumstances we will only flush once per scene.
In summary the journal works like this:
When you use any of the cogl_rectangle* APIs then nothing is emitted to the
GPU at this point, we just log one or more quads into the journal. A
journal entry consists of the quad coordinates, an associated material
reference, and a modelview matrix. Ideally the journal only gets flushed
once at the end of a scene, but in fact there are things to consider that
may cause unwanted flushing, including:
- modifying materials mid-scene
This is because each quad in the journal has an associated material
reference (i.e. not copy), so if you try and modify a material that is
already referenced in the journal we force a flush first)
NOTE: For now this means you should avoid using cogl_set_source_color()
since that currently uses a single shared material. Later we
should change it to use a pool of materials that is recycled
when the journal is flushed.
- modifying any state that isn't currently logged, such as depth, fog and
backface culling enables.
The first thing that happens when flushing, is to upload all the vertex data
associated with the journal into a single VBO.
We then go through a process of splitting up the journal into batches that
have compatible state so they can be emitted to the GPU together. This is
currently broken up into 3 levels so we can stagger the state changes:
1) we break the journal up according to changes in the number of material layers
associated with logged quads. The number of layers in a material determines
the stride of the associated vertices, so we have to update our vertex
array offsets at this level. (i.e. calling gl{Vertex,Color},Pointer etc)
2) we further split batches up according to material compatability. (e.g.
materials with different textures) We flush material state at this level.
3) Finally we split batches up according to modelview changes. At this level
we update the modelview matrix and actually emit the actual draw command.
This commit is largely about putting the initial design in-place; this will be
followed by other changes that take advantage of the extended batching.
* clutter/clutter-main.c: Don't free the ClutterMainContext so
that the main loop can be restarted.
* clutter/eglx/clutter-backend-egl.c:
* clutter/eglnative/clutter-backend-egl.c: Register an atexit
handler which disposes the backend object so that we are still
guaranteed to call eglTerminate on GLES.
* clutter/clutter-backend.c:
(_clutter_backend_create_stage): Call _clutter_stage_set_window()
ourselves, thus removing yet another action that backends must
implement and might get wrong; also cuts a backend-agnostic piece
of code duplication.

Rework the stage wrapper/implementation relation: remove
duplicated code and all the bookkeeping from the backends into
ClutterStage whenever possible, to reduce the amount of work a
backend must do (and possibly get wrong). Thanks to Tommi
Komulainen.
* clutter/clutter-main.c:
(clutter_init_with_args), (clutter_init): Realize the default
stage after creation. The default stage is special, because we
use it in the initialization sequence. This removes the burden
from the backends and reduces the things a backend can get
wrong.
* clutter/clutter-stage.c:
(clutter_stage_show): Make sure to realize the implementation if
it hasn't been realized yet.
(clutter_stage_realize): Set the REALIZED flag and call
clutter_stage_ensure_current() if the implementation was
successfully realized.
(clutter_stage_unrealized): Call clutter_stage_ensure_current()
on unrealize.
* clutter/glx/clutter-backend-glx.c:
(clutter_backend_glx_create_stage): Do not realize the stage anymore
when creating it, and let the normal realization sequence take
place.
(clutter_backend_glx_ensure_context): Trap for X11 errors.
* clutter/glx/clutter-stage-glx.c:
(clutter_stage_glx_realize): Chain up to the X11 implementation
so that we can set up the window state (title, cursor visibility)
when we actually have a X window. Also, do not call
clutter_stage_ensure_current(), and rely on the wrapper to do
it for us. This means we can drop setting the REALIZED flag on
the wrapper.
(clutter_stage_glx_unrealize): Do not call
clutter_stage_ensure_current() ourselves, and rely on the wrapper
to do it for us.

cursor is visible or not after realizing the stage.
(clutter_stage_x11_set_cursor_visible),
(clutter_stage_x11_set_title): Call set_wm_title() and
set_cursor_visible().
(clutter_stage_x11_finalize): Free the title string.
* clutter/x11/clutter-stage-x11.h: Save more of the stage state,
so that we can set it even when the stage hasn't been realized
yet.
