ab76584965 layout-manager: Implement set_container()
Store a back pointer of the layout manager inside the container using
the GObject instance data. This introduces a change in the implementation
of ClutterLayoutManager, though it's still binary compatible.

a86f1b45bb Add the ClutterEffect abstract class
ClutterEffect is an abstract class that should be used to apply effects
on generic actors.

The ClutterEffect class just defines what an effect should implement; it
could be defined as an interface, but we might want to add some default
behavior dependent on the internal state at a later point.

The effect API applies to any actor, so we need to provide a way to
assign an effect to an actor, and let ClutterActor call the Effect
methods during the paint sequence.

Once an effect is attached to an actor we will perform the paint in this
order:

  • Effect::pre_paint()
  • Actor::paint signal emission
  • Effect::post_paint()

Since an effect might collide with the Shader class, we either allow a
shader or an effect for the time being.

bf7e6ae587 Add error reporting for create_context() failures
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.

c0d5af5de5 Adds initial clipped redraw support to Clutter
A new (internal only currently) API, _clutter_actor_queue_clipped_redraw
can be used to queue a redraw along with a clip rectangle in actor
coordinates. This clip rectangle propagates up to the stage and clutter
backend which may optionally use the information to optimize stage
redraws. The GLX backend in particular may scissor the next redraw to
the clip rectangle and use GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer to present the stage
subregion.

The intention is that any actors that can naturally determine the bounds
of updates should queue clipped redraws to reduce the cost of updating
small regions of the screen.

Notes:
» If GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer isn't available then the GLX backend
  ignores any clip rectangles.

» queuing multiple clipped redraws will result in the bounding box of
  each clip rectangle being used.

» If a clipped redraw has a height > 300 pixels then it's promoted into
  a full stage redraw, so that the GPU doesn't end up blocking too long
  waiting for the vsync to reach the optimal position to avoid tearing.

  » Note: no empirical data was used to come up with this threshold so
    we may need to tune this.

» Currently only ClutterX11TexturePixmap makes use of this new API. This
  is done via a new "queue-damage-redraw" signal that is emitted when
  the pixmap is updated. The default handler queues a clipped redraw
  with the assumption that the pixmap is being painted as a rectangle
  covering the actors transformed allocation. If you subclass
  ClutterX11TexturePixmap and change how it's painted you now also
  need to override the signal handler and queue your own redraw.

  Technically this is a semantic break, but it's assumed that no one
  is currently doing this.

This still leaves a few unsolved issues with regards to optimizing sub
stage redraws that need to be addressed in further work so this can only
be considered a stepping stone a this point:

» Because we have no reliable way to determine if the painting of any
  given actor is being modified any optimizations implemented using
  _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip must be overridable by a
  subclass, and technically must be opt-in for existing classes to avoid
  a change in semantics. E.g. consider that a user connects to the paint
  signal for ClutterTexture and paints a circle instead of a rectangle.
  In this case any original logic to queue clipped redraws would be
  incorrect.

» Currently only the implementation of an actor has enough information
  with which to queue clipped redraws. E.g. It is not possible for
  generic code in clutter-actor.c to queue a clipped redraw when hiding
  an actor because actors have no way to report a "paint box". (remember
  actors can draw outside their allocation and actors with depth may
  also be projected outside of their allocation)

  » The current plan is to add a actor_class->get_paint_cuboid()
    virtual so actors can report a bounding cube for everything they
    would draw in their current state and use that to queue clipped
    redraws against the stage by projecting the paint cube into stage
    coordinates.

» Our heuristics for promoting clipped redraws into full redraws to
  avoid blocking the GPU while we wait for the vsync need improving:

  » vsync issues aren't relevant for redirected/composited applications
    so they should use different heuristics. In this case we instead
    need to trade off the cost of blitting when using glXCopySubBuffer
    vs promoting to a full redraw and flipping instead.

79acb088e7 Remove mentions of the FSF address
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.

ee33357fd5 stage: Only clutter_stage_get_default() creates the default stage
The introduction of the StageManager in 0.8 implied that the first Stage
instance to be created was automatically assigned the status of "default
stage". This was all well and good, since the default stage was created
behind the curtains by the initialization sequence.

Now that the initialization sequence does not create a default stage any
longer, it means that the first stage created using clutter_stage_new()
gets to be the default, and all special and warm and fuzzy - which also
means that the first stage created by clutter_stage_new() cannot be
destroyed or handled as any other stage. Whoopsie.

Let's go back to the old semantics: the stage created by the first
invocation of clutter_stage_get_default() is the default stage, and
nothing else can be set as default. One day we'll be able to break the
API and the whole default stage business will be a thing of the past.

b398292089 device: Impose per-backend DeviceManager
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.

0d428655e2 actor: Turn push/pop_internal into Actor methods
Since the "internal" state is global, it will leak onto actors that you
didn't intend for it to, because it applies not just to the actors you
create, but also to any actors *they* create. Eg, if you have a dialog
box class, you might push/pop_internal around creating its buttons, so
that those buttons get marked as internal to the dialog box. But
ctx->internal_child will still be set during the *button*'s constructor
as well, and so, eg, the label and icon inside the button actor will
*also* be marked as internal children, even if that isn't what the
button class wanted.

The least intrusive change at this point is to make push_internal() and
pop_internal() two methods of the Actor class, and take a ClutterActor
pointer as the argument - thus moving the locality of the internal_child
counter to the Actor itself.

5d702853b8 glx backend: Adds support for GLX_INTEL_swap_event
If your OpenGL driver supports GLX_INTEL_swap_event that means when
glXSwapBuffers is called it returns immediatly and an XEvent is sent when
the actual swap has finished.

Clutter can use the events that notify swap completion as a means to
throttle rendering in the master clock without blocking the CPU and so it
should help improve the performance of CPU bound applications.

1520ba6190 actor: Add internal child flag
ClutterActor checks, when destroying and reparenting, if the parent
actor implements the Container interface, and automatically calls the
remove() method to perform a clean removal.

Actors implementing Container, though, might have internal children;
that is, children that are not added through the Container API. It is
already possible to iterate through them using the Container API to
avoid breaking invariants - but calling clutter_actor_destroy() on
these children (even from the Container implementation, and thus outside
of Clutter's control) will either lead to leaks or to segmentation
faults.

Clutter needs a way to distinguish a clutter_actor_set_parent() done on
an internal child from one done on a "public" child; for this reason, a
push/pop pair of functions should be available to Actor implementations
to mark the section where they wish to add internal children:

  ➔ clutter_actor_push_internal ();
    ...
    clutter_actor_set_parent (child1, parent);
    clutter_actor_set_parent (child2, parent);
    ...
  ➔ clutter_actor_pop_internal ();

The set_parent() call will automatically set the newly added
INTERNAL_CHILD private flag on each child, and both
clutter_actor_destroy() and clutter_actor_unparent() will check for the
flag before deciding whether to call the Container's remove method.

Rather than having all of the highlevel widgets emit

add a global function to access the event state.

568c29ba49 Validate that the GL version is >= 1.2
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.

15d7a86621 [backends] Remove the idea of offscreen stages from all backends
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.

83b4ec7a12 units: Cache the pixels value inside Units
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.

6988744db7 [stage] Rework the Stage implementation class
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.

184df2a5fa [input] Rework input device API
The input device API is split halfway thorugh the backends in a very
weird way. The data structures are private, as they should, but most
of the information should be available in the main API since it's
generic enough.

The device type enumeration, for instance, should be common across
every backend; the accessors for device type and id should live in the
core API. The internal API should always use ClutterInputDevice and
not the private X11 implementation when dealing with public structures
like ClutterEvent.

By adding accessors for the device type and id, and by moving the
device type enumeration into the core API we can cut down the amount
of symbols private and/or visible only to the X11 backends; this way
when other backends start implementing multi-pointer support we can
share the same API across the code.

acf7722a41 [master-clock] Throttle if no redraw was performed
A flag in the master clock is now set whenever the dispatch caused an
actual redraw of a stage. If this flag is not set during the prepare

attempts to the default frame rate as if vblank syncing was
disabled. Otherwise if a timeline is running that does not cause the
scene to change then it would busy-wait with 100% CPU until the next
frame.

aa1246e891 [backend] Abstract the GL context creation
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.

86bc31bd55 [clock] Rework the master clock
The master clock is currently advanced using a frame source driven
by the default frame rate. This breaks the sync to vblank because
the vblanking rate could be different than 60 Hz -- or it might be
completely disabled (e.g. with CLUTTER_VBLANK=none).

We should be using the main loop to check if we have timelines
playing, and if so queue a redraw on the stages we own.

We should also prepare the subsequent frame at the end of the redraw
process, so if there are new redraw we will have the scene already
in place.

This makes Clutter redraw at the maximum frame rate, which is
limited by the vblanking frequency.

d6d208da7d Remove Units from the public API
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

5be29cf9bc [timeline] Expose the msec advancement
The method of ClutterTimeline that advances the timeline by a
delta (in millisecond) is going to be useful for testing the
timeline's behaviour -- and unbreak the timeline test suite that
was broken by the MasterClock merge.

1a87e4e252 [clone] Allow painting hidden source actors
With the introduction of the map/unmap flags and the split of the
visible state from the mapped state we require that every part of
a scene graph branch is mapped in order to be painted. This breaks
the ability of a ClutterClone to paint an hidden source actor.

In order to fix this we need to introduce an override flag, similar
in spirit to the current modelview and paint opacity overrides that
Clone is already using.

The override flag, when set, will force a temporary map on a
Clone source (and its children).

678f99677f Use a single master "clock" to drive timelines
Currently, all timelines install a timeout inside the TimeoutPool
they share. Every time the main loop spins, all the timeouts are
updated. This, in turn, will usually lead to redraws being queued
on the stages.

This behaviour leads to the potential starvation of timelines and
to excessive redraws.

One lesson learned from the games developers is that the scenegraph
should be prepared in its entirety before the GL paint sequence is
initiated. This means making sure that every ::new-frame signal
handler is called before clutter_redraw() is invoked.

In order to do so a TimeoutPool is not enough: we need a master
clock. The clock will be responsible for advancing all the active
timelines created inside a scene, but only when the stage is
being redrawn.

The sequence is:

  + queue_redraw() is invoked on an actor and bubbles up
    to the stage

  + if no redraw() has already been scheduled, install an
    idle handler with a known priority

  + inside the idle handler:

    - advance the master clock, which will in turn advance
      every playing timeline by the amount of milliseconds
      elapsed since the last redraw; this will make every
      playing timeline emit the ::new-frame signal

    - queue a relayout

    - call the redraw() method of the backend

This way we trade multiple timeouts with a single frame source
that only runs if a timeline is playing and queues redraws on
the various stages.

125bded814 Enforce invariants on mapped, realized, visibility states
Bug 1138 - No trackable "mapped" state

* Add a VISIBLE flag tracking application programmer's
  expected showing-state for the actor, allowing us to
  always ensure we keep what the app wants while tracking
  internal implementation state separately.

* Make MAPPED reflect whether the actor will be painted;
  add notification on a ClutterActor::mapped property.
  Keep MAPPED state updated as the actor is shown,
  ancestors are shown, actor is reparented, etc.

* Require a stage and realized parents to realize; this means
  at realization time the correct window system and GL resources
  are known. But unparented actors can no longer be realized.

* Allow children to be unrealized even if parent is realized.
  Otherwise in effect either all actors or no actors are realized,
  i.e. it becomes a stage-global flag.

* Allow clutter_actor_realize() to "fail" if not inside a toplevel

* Rework clutter_actor_unrealize() so internally we have
  a flavor that does not mess with visibility flag

* Add _clutter_actor_rerealize() to encapsulate a somewhat
  tricky operation we were doing in a couple of places

* Do not realize/unrealize children in ClutterGroup,
  ClutterActor already does it

* Do not realize impl by hand in clutter_stage_show(),
  since showing impl already does that

* Do not unrealize in various dispose() methods, since
  ClutterActor dispose implementation already does it
  and chaining up is mandatory

* ClutterTexture uses COGL while unrealizable (before it's
  added to a stage). Previously this breakage was affecting
  ClutterActor because we had to allow realize outside
  a stage. Move the breakage to ClutterTexture, by making
  ClutterTexture just use COGL while not realized.

* Unrealize before we set parent to NULL in clutter_actor_unparent().
  This means unrealize() implementations can get to the stage.
  Because actors need the stage in order to detach from stage.

* Update clutter-actor-invariants.txt to reflect latest changes

* Remove explicit hide/unrealize from ClutterActor::dispose since
  unparent already forces those
  Instead just assert that unparent() occurred and did the right thing.

* Check whether parent implements unrealize before chaining up
  Needed because ClutterGroup no longer has to implement unrealize.

* Perform unrealize in the default handler for the signal.
  This allows non-containers that have children to work properly,
  and allows containers to override how it's done.

* Add map/unmap virtual methods and set MAPPED flag on self and
  children in there. This allows subclasses to hook map/unmap.
  These are not signals, because notify::mapped is better for
  anything it's legitimate for a non-subclass to do.

08ba42a5ab Allow passing the pick mode to get_actor_at_pos()
Bug 1513 - Allow passing in ClutterPickMode to
           clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos()

At the moment, clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos() uses CLUTTER_PICK_ALL
internally to find an actor. It would be useful to allow passing in
ClutterPickMode to clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos(), so that the caller
can specify CLUTTER_PICK_REACTIVE as a criteria.

9da564b391 Bug 1440 - Add clutter_get_current_event_time()
The clutter_get_current_event_time() is a global function for
retrieving the timestamp of the current event being propagated
by Clutter. Such function avoids the need to propagate the
timestamp from within user code.

6b9da72ab0 Directly set backend font options in clutter_set_font_flags
Instead of having a separate set of font options that override the
backend options when clutter_set_font_flags is called, it now just
directly sets the backend font options. So now the font flags are just
a convenience wrapper around the backend font options.

This also makes the ClutterText labels automatically update when the
font flags are changed because they will respond to the 'font-changed'
signal from the backend.
