Portable code should be allowed to check type backend currently being
used, so that it can use platform-specific API (not just Clutter's).
We don't want to go down the GDK route, with public types for
ClutterBackend and ClutterStageWindow implementations, and use the type
system, e.g.:
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11
if (GDK_IS_WINDOW_X11 (window))
use_x11_api (window);
else
#endif
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32
if (GDK_IS_WINDOW_WIN32 (window))
use_win32_api (window);
else
#endif
g_critical ("Unsupported backend");
This system would make us expose the backend system, and we want to
still reserve us the option to change the backend system to increase its
granularity — e.g. choosing different input event systems regardless of
the windowing system.
This commit adds a simple function that checks the backend type against
a symbolic constant — the same constant string that can be used to
select the backend at run-time through the CLUTTER_BACKEND environment
variable.
Just like GLIB_DEPRECATED and GLIB_DEPRECATED_FOR, Clutter should have
its own wrappers for G_DEPRECATED and G_DEPRECATED_FOR, to allow opting
out of deprecation warnings.
Deprecation warnings are enabled by default, now, even when building
Clutter.
This adds experimental API to be able to get the CoglContext associated
with the ClutterBackend. The CoglContext is required to use some of the
experimental 2.0 Cogl API.
Note: Since CoglContext is itself experimental API this API should
considered experimental too. This patch introduces a
CLUTTER_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API #ifdef guard which anyone wanting to use
this API must define so it's explicitly clear to developers that they
are playing with experimental API.
Note: This API is not yet supported on OSX because OSX still uses the
stub Cogl winsys and the Clutter backend doesn't explicitly create a
CoglContext.
Note: even though this is experimental API we still promise that it
wont be changed during a stable release cycle. This means for example
that you can depend on this for the lifetime of the clutter-1.8 stable
release cycle.
The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.
We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.
At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.
Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611
Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.
Move the private Backend API to a separate header.
This also allows us to finally move the class vtable and instance
structure to a separate file and plug the visibility hole that left
the Backend class bare for everyone to poke into.
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.
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 DeviceManager class should be abstract in Clutter, and implemented
by each backend, as different backends will have different ways to
detect, initialize and list devices; the X11 backend alone has *two*
ways of dealing with devices.
This commit makes DeviceManager an abstract class and delegates the
device initialization and enumeration to per-backend sub-classes.
The responsible for creating the device manager is, obviously, the
backend singleton.
The X11 and Win32 backends have been updated to the new layout; the
Win32 backend has been updated blindly, so it might require additional
testing.
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.
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.
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.
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().
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.

ClutterBackend using Xlib calls.
