Which offscreens actor rendering only in cases where it hasn't changed for
2 frames or more. This avoids the performance penalty of offscreening an
actor whose content is trying to animate at full frame rate. It will
switch automatically.

If the transform matrix is an identity, then positioning wont change and
we can avoid creating the transform node altogether. This is based on
a similar find in GTK today while reducing temporary allocations.
This cuts the number of transforms created in clutter_actor_paint() by
about half under light testing of GNOME Shell from 6.8% to 2.4% of
allocations.
Before:
ALLOCATED TOTAL FUNCTION
[ 20.4 MiB] [ 21.20%] clutter_actor_paint
[ 11.0 MiB] [ 11.45%] clutter_paint_node_paint
[ 6.6 MiB] [ 6.84%] clutter_transform_node_new
[ 2.5 MiB] [ 2.61%] clutter_actor_node_new
After:
ALLOCATED TOTAL FUNCTION
[ 33.4 MiB] [ 24.12%] clutter_actor_paint
[ 26.2 MiB] [ 18.91%] clutter_paint_node_paint
[ 3.4 MiB] [ 2.43%] clutter_actor_node_new
[ 3.3 MiB] [ 2.41%] clutter_transform_node_new
Allocation amounts will have differed due to different amounts of running
time, but the % of allocations has now dropped below
clutter_actor_node_new() which should be expected.

If an actor sets flag `CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT` then that means it
is (or should be) unaffected by `queue_relayout` calls in its children.
So we can avoid propagating `queue_relayout` all the way up to the stage
and avoid a full stage relayout each time.
But those children whose parent has `CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT` still need
to be allocated at some point. So we do it at the same point where it
happened before. Only we now queue a *shallow* relayout so the `allocate`
run on the next frame doesn't need to descend the whole actor tree anymore.
Only a subtree and hopefully very small.
For free-floating and top-level actors this provides a measurable
performance benefit. According to Google Profiler, calls to
`_clutter_stage_maybe_relayout` are now so cheap that they no longer show
up in performance profiles.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/575
Right now the CONTENT_SIZE request mode for a ClutterActor is only
respected by `clutter_actor_get_preferred_size()`, but not by
`get_preferred_width()` and `get_preferred_height()`. Those simply try
to ask the layout manager and will return [0, 0] for actors without
children. So be consistent and also return the content size in those two
functions.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/1019
ClutterActors width and height can be reset to automatically use the
preferred (calculated) value by setting the width or height to -1, so
far this only works by setting it using `clutter_actor_set_width()` or
`clutter_actor_set_height()`, make sure it can also be done using the
"width" and "height" GObject properties.

Instead of using the intermediate stage state "active framebuffer" to
find the framebuffer a paint eventually targets, use the "base
framebuffer" of the paint context, as this more correctly corresponds to
the end point of a paint. It also means we can then later remove this
intermediate state from the stage.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/935
Instead of pushing and popping the Cogl framebuffer stack, use the
framebuffer passed around using the pick context. This removes usage of
the deprecated framebuffer stack when picking.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/935
Rendering off stage we never cull, and previously this was checked by
comparing the "active framebuffer" of the stage, to the current
framebuffer in the cogl stack. Replace this by checking whether the
current paint context is currently drawing on stage or not.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/935
Just as with painting, add a pick context that carries pick related
temporary state when doing actor picking. It is currently unused, and
will at least at first still carry around a framebuffer to deal track
view transforms etc.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/935
When painting, actors rely on semi global state tracked by the state to
get various things needed for painting, such as the current draw
framebuffer. Having state hidden in such ways can be very deceiving as
it's hard to follow changes spread out, and adding more and more state
that should be tracked during a paint gets annoying as they will not
change in isolation but one by one in their own places. To do this
better, introduce a paint context that is passed along in paint calls
that contains the necessary state needed during painting.
The paint context implements a framebuffer stack just as Cogl works,
which is currently needed for offscreen rendering used by clutter.
The same context is passed around for paint nodes, contents and effects
as well.
In this commit, the context is only introduced, but not used. It aims to
replace the Cogl framebuffer stack, and will allow actors to know what
view it is currently painted on.

This is inspired by 98892391d764d1cf where the usage of
`g_signal_handler_disconnect()` without resetting the corresponding
handler id later resulted in a bug. Using `g_clear_signal_handler()`
makes sure we avoid similar bugs and is almost always the better
alternative. We use it for new code, let's clean up the old code to
also use it.
A further benefit is that it can get called even if the passed id is
0, allowing us to remove a lot of now unnessecary checks, and the fact
that `g_clear_signal_handler()` checks for the right type size, forcing us
to clean up all places where we used `guint` instead of `gulong`.
No functional changes intended here and all changes should be trivial,
thus bundled in one big commit.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/940
Clutter has a draw debug mode that allows for painting
paint volumes. Right now, this debug mode uses the old
immediate paint mode.
Switch the painting of paint volumes to use paint nodes,
and sneak a few minor style cleanups.

Now that we unconditionally use ClutterActorNode to
paint ClutterActors, move the PAINT private flag to
the ClutterActorNode. This way, we can run the paint
on the actor anywhere inside the paint tree.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/890
When setting the root node as child of a clip or transform node, we add a
new reference to it, without removing the one that we've previously added
when getting it from the actor node (and that won't ever be unset by the
auto-pointer since the root_node is re-associated).
So, once we add the root node as child and re-define it, unref it.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/908
A compositor is notably opaque (usually has nothing to be painted on!).
gnome-shell sets this hint, but there's no reason why we wouldn't want
it by default.
Also, the color buffer being cleared messes with stencil clips, as the
clear operation by definition ignores the stencil buffer. We want to
use these more extensively in the future, so just drop this API.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/911
Make ClutterActor paint using ClutterTransformNode, ClutterClip
node, and ClutterActorNode. Essencially, the actor node is a
replacement for clutter_actor_continue_paint().
An interesting aspect of this commit is that the order of the
operations is reversed to be preserved.
Before being able to remove the dummy node hack, we'll need to
make ClutterEffects compatible with paint nodes first -- and
naturally, that's enough content for its own merge request.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/872
This is a deprecated property that is not used anywhere
in the codebase. Not by GNOME Shell. Because it uses the
deprecated ClutterGeometry type, it's a good target for
cleaning up, given that ClutterGeometry will be dropped
later on.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/458
When clutter actors with key focus are destroyed we emit ::key-focus-out on
them just after their destruction. This is against our assumption that no
signal should be emitted after "::destroy" (see GNOME/mutter!769 [1]), and
in fact could cause the shell to do actions that we won't ever stop on
destroy callback.
To avoid this to happen, use a private function to set its key-state (so we
can avoid looking for the stage) and emit ::key-focus-in/out events and use
this value in both clutter_actor_has_key_focus(),
clutter_actor_grab_key_focus() and on unmap and destruction to unset the
stage key focus before we emit the ::destroy signal.
As result of this, we can now avoid to unset the key focus on actor
destruction in the stage.

Clutter had support for internal children in its early revisions, but they
were deprecated for long time (commit f41061b8df, more than 7 years ago) and
no one is using them in both clutter and in gnome-shell.
So remove any alternative code path that uses internal children.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/816
ClutterActor took a reference in its transition 'stopped' handler,
aiming to keep the transition alive during signal emission even if it
was removed during. This is, however, already taken care of by
ClutterTimeline, by always taking a reference during its 'stopped'
signal emission, so no need to add another one.
This also has the bonus of making reference ownership simpler, as well
as avoidance of double free if an actor was destroyed before a
transition has finished.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/828
Implicit transitions had a referenced taken while emitting the
completion signals, but said reference would only be released if it was
had remove-on-complete set to TRUE.
Change this to instead remove the 'is_implicit' state and mark all
implicit transitions as remove-on-complete. This fixes a
ClutterPropertyTransition leak in gnome-shell triggered by e.g. showing
/ hiding menus.

Clutter actors might emit property changes in dispose, while unparenting.
However we assume that the ::destroy signal is the last one we emit for an
actor, and that starting from this moment the object is not valid anymore,
and so we don't expect any signal emission from it.
To avoid this, freeze the object notifications on an actor during its
disposition, just before the ::destroy signal emission.
Update the actor-destroy test to verify this behavior.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/769
Clutter actors unset their parent on dispose, after emitting the ::destroy
signal, however this could cause ::parent-set signal emission. Since we
assume that after the destruction has been completed the actor isn't valid
anymore, and that during the destroy phase we do all the signal / source
disconnections, this might create unwanted behaviors, as in the signal
callbacks we always assume that the actor isn't in disposed yet.
To avoid this, don't emit ::parent-set signal if the actor is being
destroyed.
Update the actor-destroy test to verify this behavior.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/769
Delayed clutter timelines might be removed while they are still in the
process of being executed, but if they are not playing yet their delay
timeout won't be stopped, causing them to be executed anyway, leading to a
potential crash.
In fact if something else keeps a reference on the timelines (i.e. gjs), the
dispose vfunc delay cancellation won't take effect, causing the timelines to
be started and added to the master clock.
To avoid this, expose clutter_timeline_cancel_delay() function and call it
if a timeline is not playing but has a delay set.

`_clutter_actor_get_transition` is almost identical to
`clutter_actor_get_transition` and isn't used anywhere in the code (we
stopped using it with ee00e37b), remove it!

Currently, Clutter does picking by drawing with Cogl and reading
the pixel that's beneath the given point. Since Cogl has a journal
that records drawing operations, and has optimizations to read a
single pixel from a list of rectangle, it would be expected that
we would hit this fast path and not flush the journal while picking.
However, that's not the case: dithering, clipping with scissors, etc,
can all flush the journal, issuing commands to the GPU and making
picking slow. On NVidia-based systems, this glReadPixels() call is
extremely costly.
Introduce geometric picking, and avoid using the Cogl journal entirely.
Do this by introducing a stack of actors in ClutterStage. This stack
is cached, but for now, don't use the cache as much as possible.
The picking routines are still tied to painting.
When projecting the actor vertexes, do it manually and take the modelview
matrix of the framebuffer into account as well.

If possible, GLib will try to use the va_marshaller to pass the signal
arguments, rather than unboxing into and out of a `GValue`. This is much
more performant and especially good for often-thrown signals.
The original bug even mentions Clutter performance issues as a drive to
implement the va_marshaller in GLib (see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661140).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/700
Some of the marshallers we generate in `clutter-marshal.list` are also
available in GLib, so we don't need to generate them ourselves. Even
more, by passing NULL to `g_signal_new` in these cases will actually
internally optimize this even more by also setting the valist
marshaller, which is a little bit faster than the regular marshalling
using `GValue` and libffi.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/700
Currently nothing in the clutter machinery prevents hidden portions
of the actor tree from calling queue_relayout() (and having it fully
honored).
But that allocation should not be necessary till the actor is shown,
and one of the things we do on show() is queueing a relayout/redraw
after flagging the actor as visible.
We can simply defer clutter_actor_allocate() calls till that show()
call, and leave the needs_allocate and other flags set so we ensure
the allocation is properly set then.
This should cut down some needless operations when invisible portions
of the actor tree change indirectly due to user interaction, or due
to background activity.
