2d70f5eb73 cogl.h: Remove _EXP symbol mangling and add gtk-doc
We are in the process of removing all _EXP suffix mangling for
experimental APIs (Ref: c6528c4b6c) and adding missing gtk-doc
comments so that we can instead rely on the "Stability: unstable"
markers in the gtk-doc comments. This patch tackles the cogl.h symbols.

85d79ab4fa Add a utility to make a GSource out of a CoglContext
The GSource is created using cogl_glib_source_new which takes a
pointer to a CoglContext. The source calls cogl_poll_get_info() in its
prepare function and cogl_poll_dispatch() in its dispatch
function. The poll FDs on the source are updated according to what
Cogl reports.

The header is only included and the source only compiled if Cogl is
configured with GLib support.

7497475295 Add support for main loop integration
This adds two new functions:

void
cogl_poll_get_info (CoglContext *context,
                    CoglPollFD **poll_fds,
                    int *n_poll_fds,
                    gint64 *timeout);

void
cogl_poll_dispatch (CoglContext *context,
                    const CoglPollFD *poll_fds,
                    int n_poll_fds);

The application is expected to call the first function whenever it is
about to block to go idle, and the second function whenever it comes
out of idle. This gives Cogl winsys's the ability poll file
descriptors for events. For example when handing swap complete
notifications, it can report that it needs to block on a file
descriptor.

The two functions are backed by winsys virtual functions. There are
currently no implementations. The default handler for get_info just
reports no file descriptors and an infinite timeout.

18fb1ffab5 texture: Make CoglSubTexture experimental public api
This exposes cogl_sub_texture_new() and cogl_is_sub_texture() as
experimental public API. Previously sub-textures were only exposed via
cogl_texture_new_from_sub_texture() so there wasn't a corresponding
CoglSubTexture type. A CoglSubTexture is a high-level texture defined as
a sub-region of some other parent texture. CoglSubTextures are high
level textures that implement the CoglMetaTexture interface which can
be used to manually handle texture repeating.

90f106117f texture: Make CoglTextureRectangle experimentally public
This exposes CoglTextureRectangle in the experimental cogl 2.0 api. For
now we just expose a single constructor;
cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size() but we can add more later.

This is part of going work to improve our texture apis with more
emphasis on providing low-level access to the varying semantics of
different texture types understood by the gpu instead of only trying to
present a lowest common denominator api.

CoglTextureRectangle is notably useful for never being restricted to
power of two sizes and for being sampled with non-normalized texture
coordinates which can be convenient for use a lookup tables in glsl due
to not needing separate uniforms for mapping normalized coordinates to
texels. Unlike CoglTexture2D though rectangle textures can't have a
mipmap and they only support the _CLAMP_TO_EDGE wrap mode.

Applications wanting to use CoglTextureRectangle should first check
cogl_has_feature (COGL_FEATURE_ID_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE).

1d8fd64e1c meta-texture: This publicly exposes CoglMetaTexture
CoglMetaTexture is an interface for dealing with high level textures
that may be comprised of one or more low-level textures internally. The
interface allows the development of primitive drawing APIs that can draw
with high-level textures (such as atlas textures) even though the
GPU doesn't natively understand these texture types.

There is currently just one function that's part of this interface:
cogl_meta_texture_foreach_in_region() which allows an application to
resolve the internal, low-level textures of a high-level texture.
cogl_rectangle() uses this API for example so that it can easily emulate
the _REPEAT wrap mode for textures that the hardware can't natively
handle repeating of.

426c8b8f41 features: Support more than 32 features!
Currently features are represented as bits in a 32bit mask so we
obviously can't have more than 32 features with that approach. The new
approach is to use the COGL_FLAGS_ macros which lets us handle bitmasks
without a size limit and we change the public api to accept individual
feature enums instead of a mask. This way there is no limit on the
number of features we can add to Cogl.

Instead of using cogl_features_available() there is a new
cogl_has_feature() function and for checking multiple features there is
cogl_has_features() which takes a zero terminated vararg list of
features.

In addition to being able to check for individual features this also
adds a way to query all the features currently available via
cogl_foreach_feature() which will call a callback for each feature.

Since the new functions take an explicit context pointer there is also
no longer any ambiguity over when users can first start to query
features.

4c3dadd35e Add a strong CoglTexture type to replace CoglHandle
As part of the on going, incremental effort to purge the non type safe
CoglHandle type from the Cogl API this patch tackles most of the
CoglHandle uses relating to textures.

We'd postponed making this change for quite a while because we wanted to
have a clearer understanding of how we wanted to evolve the texture APIs
towards Cogl 2.0 before exposing type safety here which would be
difficult to change later since it would imply breaking APIs.

The basic idea that we are steering towards now is that CoglTexture
can be considered to be the most primitive interface we have for any
object representing a texture. The texture interface would provide
roughly these methods:

  cogl_texture_get_width
  cogl_texture_get_height
  cogl_texture_can_repeat
  cogl_texture_can_mipmap
  cogl_texture_generate_mipmap;
  cogl_texture_get_format
  cogl_texture_set_region
  cogl_texture_get_region

Besides the texture interface we will then start to expose types
corresponding to specific texture types: CoglTexture2D,
CoglTexture3D, CoglTexture2DSliced, CoglSubTexture, CoglAtlasTexture and
CoglTexturePixmapX11.

We will then also expose an interface for the high-level texture types
we have (such as CoglTexture2DSlice, CoglSubTexture and
CoglAtlasTexture) called CoglMetaTexture. CoglMetaTexture is an
additional interface that lets you iterate a virtual region of a meta
texture and get mappings of primitive textures to sub-regions of that
virtual region. Internally we already have this kind of abstraction for
dealing with sliced texture, sub-textures and atlas textures in a
consistent way, so this will just make that abstraction public. The aim
here is to clarify that there is a difference between primitive textures
(CoglTexture2D/3D) and some of the other high-level textures, and also
enable developers to implement primitives that can support meta textures
since they can only be used with the cogl_rectangle API currently.

The thing that's not so clean-cut with this are the texture constructors
we have currently; such as cogl_texture_new_from_file which no longer
make sense when CoglTexture is considered to be an interface.  These
will basically just become convenient factory functions and it's just a
bit unusual that they are within the cogl_texture namespace.  It's worth
noting here that all the texture type APIs will also have their own type
specific constructors so these functions will only be used for the
convenience of being able to create a texture without really wanting to
know the details of what type of texture you need.  Longer term for 2.0
we may come up with replacement names for these factory functions or the
other thing we are considering is designing some asynchronous factory
functions instead since it's so often detrimental to application
performance to be blocked waiting for a texture to be uploaded to the
GPU.

9b58b6f472 pipeline: split out all core state apis
Since cogl-pipeline.c has become very unwieldy this make a start at
trying to shape this code back into a manageable state. This patche
moves all the API relating to core pipeline state into
cogl-pipeline-state.c. This doesn't move code relating to layer state
out nor does it move any of the code supporting the core design
of CoglPipeline itself.

This change alone factors out 2k lines of code from cogl-pipeline.c
which is obviously a good start. The next step will be to factor
out the layer state and then probably look at breaking all of this
state code down into state-groups.

Since our current designs introduce a CoglDisplay object as something
that would be passed to the context constructor this provides a stub
cogl-display.h with CoglDisplay typedef.

_cogl_context_get_default() which Clutter uses to access the Cogl
context has been modified to use cogl_context_new() to initialize
the default context.

There is one rather nasty hack used in this patch which is that the
implementation of cogl_context_new() has to forcibly make the allocated
context become the default context because currently all the code in
Cogl assumes it can access the context using _COGL_GET_CONTEXT including
code used to initialize the context.

9b0fd92527 cogl: rename CoglVertexAttribute CoglAttribute
This is part of a broader cleanup of some of the experimental Cogl API.
One of the reasons for this particular rename is to reduce the verbosity
of using the API. Another reason is that CoglVertexArray is going to be
renamed CoglAttributeBuffer and we want to help emphasize the
relationship between CoglAttributes and CoglAttributeBuffers.

60fd6ab708 cogl: Adds _cogl_swap_buffers_notify for clutter backends
This adds a stop-gap mechanism for Cogl to know when the window system
is requested to present the current backbuffer to the frontbuffer by
adding a _cogl_swap_buffers_notify function that backends are now
expected to call right after issuing the equivalent request to OpenGL
vie the platforms OpenGL binding layer. This (blindly) updates all the
backends to call this new function.

For now Cogl doesn't do anything with the notification but the intention
is to use it as part of a planned read-pixel optimization which will
need to reset some state at the start of each new frame.

fd10e3a545 matrix gtype: registers a boxed type for CoglMatrix
To allow us to have gobject properties that accept a CoglMatrix value we
need to register a GType. This adds a cogl_gtype_matrix_get_type function
that will register a static boxed type called "CoglMatrix".

This adds a new section to the reference manual for GType integration
functions.

cce8645aba path 2.0: update path API for experimental 2.0 API
When COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API is defined cogl.h will now include
cogl2-path.h which changes cogl_path_new() so it can directly return a
CoglPath pointer; it no longer exposes a prototype for
cogl_{get,set}_path and all the remaining cogl_path_ functions now take
an explicit path as their first argument.

The idea is that we want to encourage developers to retain path objects
for as long as possible so they can take advantage of us uploading the
path geometry to the GPU. Currently although it is possible to start a
new path and query the current path, it is not convenient.

The other thing is that we want to get Cogl to the point where nothing
depends on a global, current context variable. This will allow us to one
day define a sensible threading model if/when that is ever desired.

1b75ad9c80 cogl: Adds COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API define
For now this new define is simply an alias for
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API but the intention is that we will also use
it to start experimenting with changes that need to break the existing
Cogl API in incompatible ways.

f80cb197a9 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.

9498d505dd cogl: Adds experimental CoglPrimitive API
A CoglPrimitive is a retainable object for drawing a single primitive,
such as a triangle strip, fan or list.

CoglPrimitives build on CoglVertexAttributes and CoglIndices which
themselves build on CoglVertexArrays and CoglIndexArrays respectively.

A CoglPrimitive encapsulates enough information such that it can be
retained in a queue (e.g. the Cogl Journal, or renderlists in the
future) and drawn at some later time.

070d90937b cogl: Adds experimental CoglVertexAttribute API
A CoglVertexAttribute defines a single attribute contained in a
CoglVertexArray. I.e. a CoglVertexArray is simply a buffer of N bytes
intended for containing a collection of attributes (position, color,
normals etc) and a CoglVertexAttribute defines one such attribute by
specifying its start offset in the array, its type, the number of
components and the stride etc.
