Events allocated by Clutter should have a pointer to platform-specific
data; this would allow backends to add separate structures for holding
ancillary data, whilst retaining the ClutterEvent structure for use on
the stack.
In theory, for Clutter 2.x we might just want to drop Event and use an
opaque structure, or a typed data structure inheriting from
GTypeInstance instead.
If the backend was disposed then priv->font_name would be freed but not
set to NULL and so if clutter_backend_get_font_name was then called it
would double free priv->font_name.
Since the Settings:font-dpi property is exposed as 1024 * real_dpi in
order to make the setting as neutral as possible (and allow XSETTINGS
to use it natively) we need a simple API returning the DPI using a
floating point value.
The marshallers we use for the signals are declared in a private header,
and it stands to reason that they should also be hidden in the shared
object by using the common '_' prefix. We are also using some direct
g_cclosure_marshal_* symbol from GLib, instead of consistently use the
clutter_marshal_* symbol.
While this is totally fine (0 in the pointer context will be converted
in the right internal NULL representation, which could be a value with
some bits to 1), I believe it's clearer to use NULL in the pointer
context.
It seems that, in most case, it's more an overlook than a deliberate
choice to use FALSE/0 as NULL, eg. copying a _COGL_GET_CONTEXT (ctx, 0)
or a g_return_val_if_fail (cond, 0) from a function returning a
gboolean.
We kind of assume that stuff will break well before during the
ClutterBackend::create_context() implementation if we fail to create a
GL context. We do, however, have error reporting in place inside the
Backend API to catch those cases. Unfortunately, since we switched to
lazy initialization of the Stage, there can be a case of GL context
creation failure that still leads to a successful initialization - and a
segmentation fault later on. This is clearly Not Good™.
Let's try to catch a failure in all the places calling create_context()
and report back to the user the error in a meaningful way, before
crashing and burning.
Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug
report tool.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521
Commit d2bdd3cb62 fixed some compiler warnings but also broke the
ability to create a stage. Although not having warnings from the
compiler is nice, it is also nice to be able to create a stage so lets
not invert the meaning of the error check.
UProf is a small library that aims to help applications/libraries provide
domain specific reports about performance. It currently provides high
precision timer primitives (rdtsc on x86) and simple counters, the ability
to link statistics between optional components at runtime and makes report
generation easy.
This adds initial accounting for:
- Total mainloop time
- Painting
- Picking
- Layouting
- Idle time
The timing done by uprof is of wall clock time. It's not based on stochastic
samples we simply sample a counter at the start and end. When dealing with
the complexities of GPU drivers and with various kinds of IO this form of
profiling can be quite enlightening as it will be able to represent where
your application is blocking unlike tools such as sysprof.
To enable uprof accounting you must configure Clutter with --enable-profile
and have uprof-0.2 installed from git://git.moblin.org/uprof
If you want to see a report of statistics when Clutter applications exit you
should export CLUTTER_PROFILE_OUTPUT_REPORT=1 before running them.
Just a final word of caution; this stuff is new and the manual nature of
adding uprof instrumentation means it is prone to some errors when modifying
code. This just means that when you question strange results don't rule out
a mistake in the instrumentation. Obviously though we hope the benfits out
weigh e.g. by focusing on very key stats and by having automatic reporting.
There is a new internal Cogl function called _cogl_check_driver_valid
which looks at the value of the GL_VERSION string to determine whether
the driver is supported. Clutter now calls this after the stage is
realized. If it fails then the stage is marked as unrealized and a
warning is shown.
_cogl_features_init now also checks the version number before getting
the function pointers for glBlendFuncSeparate and
glBlendEquationSeparate. It is not safe to just check for the presence
of the functions because some drivers may define the function without
fully implementing the spec.
The GLES version of _cogl_check_driver_valid just always returns TRUE
because there are no version requirements yet.
Eventually the function could also check for mandatory extensions if
there were any.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1875
Because Cogl defines the origin of viewport and window coordinates to be
top-left it always needs to know the size of the current window so that Cogl
window/viewport coordinates can be transformed into OpenGL coordinates.
This also fixes cogl_read_pixels to use the current draw buffer height
instead of the viewport height to determine the OpenGL y coordinate to use
for glReadPixels.
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.
When computing the pixels value of a ClutterUnits value we should
be caching the value to avoid recomputing for every call of
clutter_units_to_pixels(). We already have a flag telling us to
return the cached value, but we miss the mechanism to evict the
cache whenever the Backend settings affecting the conversion, that
is default font and resolution, change.
In order to implement the eviction we can use a "serial"; the
Backend will have an internal serial field which we retrieve and
put inside the ClutterUnits structure (we split one of the two
64 bit padding fields into two 32 bit fields to maintain ABI); every
time we call clutter_units_to_pixels() we compare the units serial
with that of the Backend; if they match and pixels_set is set to
TRUE then we just return the stored pixels value. If the serials
do not match then we unset the pixels_set flag and recompute the
pixels value.
We can verify this by adding a simple test unit checking that
by changing the resolution of ClutterBackend we get different
pixel values for 1 em.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1843
Instead of using ClutterActor for the base class of the Stage
implementation we should extend the StageWindow interface with
the required bits (geometry, realization) and use a simple object
class.
This require a wee bit of changes across Backend, Stage and
StageWindow, even though it's mostly re-shuffling.
First of all, StageWindow should get new virtual functions:
* geometry:
- resize()
- get_geometry()
* realization
- realize()
- unrealize()
This covers all the bits that we use from ClutterActor currently
inside the stage implementations.
The ClutterBackend::create_stage() virtual function should create
a StageWindow, and not an Actor (it should always have been; the
fact that it returned an Actor was a leak of the black magic going
on underneath). Since we never guaranteed ABI compatibility for
the Backend class, this is not a problem.
Internally to ClutterStage we can finally drop the shenanigans of
setting/unsetting actor flags on the implementation: if the realization
succeeds, for instance, we set the REALIZED flag on the Stage and
we're done.
As an initial proof of concept, the X11 and GLX stage implementations
have been ported to the New World Order(tm) and show no regressions.
The StageManager singleton instance is already kept around
by the clutter_stage_manager_get_default() function; there is
no need to have it inside the main Clutter context as well.
The clutter_context_get_default() function is private, but shared
across Clutter. For this reason, it should be prefixed by '_' so
that the symbol is hidden from the shared object.
This is the another step into abstracting the backend operations
that are currently spread all across the board back into the
backend implementations where they belong.
The GL context creation, for instance, is demanded to the stage
realization which makes it a critical path for every operation
that is GL-context bound. This usually does not make any difference
since we realize the default stage, but at some point we might
start looking into avoiding the default stage realization in order
to make the Clutter startup faster.
It also makes the code maintainable because every part is self
contained and can be reworked with the minimum amount of pain.
This commit reverts part of commit 5bcde25c - specifically the
part that forced a realization of the stage if we are ensuring
the GL context with it. This makes Clutter behave like it did
prior to commit 5bcde25c: if we are asked to ensure the GL context
with an unrealized stage we simply pass NULL to the backend
implementation.
The fix for bug 1138 broke multi-stage support on GLX, causing
X11 to segfault with the following stack trace:
Backtrace:

which I can only track down to clutter_backend_glx_ensure_current()
being passed a NULL stage -- something that happens when a stage
is not correct realized. That should lead to a glXMakeCurrent(None)
and not to a segmentation fault, though.
Currently, the conversion from em to units is done by using the
default font name inside the backend. For actors using their own
font/text layout we need a way to specify the font name along
with the quantity we wish to transform.
With the recent change to internal floating point values, ClutterUnit
has become a redundant type, defined to be a float. All integer entry
points are being internally converted to floating point values to be
passed to the GL pipeline with the least amount of conversion.
ClutterUnit is thus exposed as just a "pixel with fractionary bits",
and not -- as users might think -- as generic, resolution and device
independent units. not that it was the case, but a definitive amount
of people was convinced it did provide this "feature", and was flummoxed
about the mere existence of this type.
So, having ClutterUnit exposed in the public API doubles the entry
points and has the following disadvantages:
- we have to maintain twice the amount of entry points in ClutterActor
- we still do an integer-to-float implicit conversion
- we introduce a weird impedance between pixels and "pixels with
fractionary bits"
- language bindings will have to choose what to bind, and resort
to manually overriding the API
+ *except* for language bindings based on GObject-Introspection, as
they cannot do manual overrides, thus will replicate the entire
set of entry points
For these reason, we should coalesces every Actor entry point for
pixels and for ClutterUnit into a single entry point taking a float,
like:
void clutter_actor_set_x (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat x);
void clutter_actor_get_size (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat *width,
gfloat *height);
gfloat clutter_actor_get_height (ClutterActor *self);
etc.
The issues I have identified are:
- we'll have a two cases of compiler warnings:
- printf() format of the return values from %d to %f
- clutter_actor_get_size() taking floats instead of unsigned ints
- we'll have a problem with varargs when passing an integer instead
of a floating point value, except on 64bit platforms where the
size of a float is the same as the size of an int
To be clear: the *intent* of the API should not change -- we still use
pixels everywhere -- but:
- we remove ambiguity in the API with regard to pixels and units
- we remove entry points we get to maintain for the whole 1.0
version of the API
- we make things simpler to bind for both manual language bindings
and automatic (gobject-introspection based) ones
- we have the simplest API possible while still exposing the
capabilities of the underlying GL implementation
The font options accessors in ClutterBackend only deal with const
cairo_font_options_t values, since:
- set_font_options() will copy the font options
- get_font_options() will return a pointer to the internal
font options
Not using const in these cases makes the API confusing and might lead
to erroneous calls to cairo_font_options_destroy().
Bug 1442 - multistage, same-window resize events invalidate stage
When ensuring that the GL context is attached to the correct
ClutterStage we need to set the SYNC_MATRICES flag on the stage
itself. This is needed in case the size of the new stage does
not match the size of the old -- thus requiring a call to
glViewport() when the paint cycle starts.
Add annotations such as (transfer-none) (out) (element-type ClutterActor),
and so forth to the doc comments as appropriate.
The annotations added here are a combination of the annotations previously
in gir-repository for Clutter and annotations found in a review of all
return values with that were being parsed with a transfer of "full".

Instead of recomputing the number of units needed to fit in
an em each time clutter_units_em() is called, we can store this
value into the default Backend along with the resolution and
font name. The value should also be updated each time the
resolution and font are changed, to keep it up to date.
This is the result of running a number of sed and perl scripts over the code to
do 90% of the work in converting from 16.16 fixed to single precision floating
point.
Note: A pristine cogl-fixed.c has been maintained as a standalone utility API
so that applications may still take advantage of fixed point if they
desire for certain optimisations where lower precision may be acceptable.
Note: no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
Overview of changes:
- Within clutter/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been changed to use
the CLUTTER_FIXED_ macros.
- Within cogl/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been completly stripped
and expanded into code that works with single precision floats instead.
- Uses of cogl_fixed_* have been replaced with single precision math.h
alternatives.
- Uses of COGL_ANGLE_* and cogl_angle_* have been replaced so we use a float for
angles and math.h replacements.
Continuation of the fix in commit 00a3c69868.
Instead of using a separate flag for the resize process, just
delay the setting of the CLUTTER_ACTOR_SYNC_MATRICES flag on the
stage to the point when we receive a ConfigureNotify event from
X11.
This commit will break the stage embedding into other toolkits.
When calling clutter_backend_get_font_name(), if no default font
name has previously been set, we just set the default and return
a pointer to it - like we do for the font options.
The default backend stores some of the global defaults, like the
font options, text resolution, double click settings. It should also
store the default font name, to allow various text-based actors to
share the same settings.
When the font name changes, the ::font-changed signal is emitted,
to allow actors to pick up the change.
The ClutterBackend instance at the moment lacks the ability to
notify runtime changes of the font options and the resolution.
For this reason, this commit adds a ::resolution-changed and a
::font-changed signals to the Backend class.
The ::resolution-changed signal is emitted when set_resolution()
is called with a different DPI; ::font-changed is emitted when the
cairo_font_options_t* changes from the default.
