We have found several times now when writing code using Cogl that it
would really help if Cogl's matrix stack api was public as a utility
api. In Rig for example we want to avoid redundant arithmetic when
deriving the matrices of entities used to render and we aren't able
to simply use the framebuffer's matrix stack to achieve this. Also when
implementing cairo-cogl we found that it would be really useful if we
could have a matrix stack utility api.

This allows apps to catch out-of-memory errors when allocating textures.
Textures can be pretty huge at times and so it's quite possible for an
application to try and allocate more memory than is available. It's also
very possible that the application can take some action in response to
reduce memory pressure (such as freeing up texture caches perhaps) so
we shouldn't just automatically abort like we do for trivial heap
allocations.
These public functions now take a CoglError argument so applications can
catch out of memory errors:
cogl_buffer_map
cogl_buffer_map_range
cogl_buffer_set_data
cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap
cogl_pixel_buffer_new
cogl_texture_new_from_data
cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap
Note: we've been quite conservative with how many apis we let throw OOM
CoglErrors since we don't really want to put a burdon on developers to
be checking for errors with every cogl api call. So long as there is
some lower level api for apps to use that let them catch OOM errors
for everything necessary that's enough and we don't have to make more
convenient apis more awkward to use.
The main focus is on bitmaps and texture allocations since they
can be particularly large and prone to failing.
A new cogl_attribute_buffer_new_with_size() function has been added in
case developers need to catch OOM errors when allocating attribute buffers
whereby they can first use _buffer_new_with_size() (which doesn't take a
CoglError) followed by cogl_buffer_set_data() which will lazily allocate
the buffer storage and report OOM errors.

This adds a buffer method to map a subregion of the buffer. This works
using the GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension. If the extension is not
available then it will fallback to using glMapBuffer to map the entire
buffer and then just add the offset to the returned pointer.
cogl_buffer_map() is now just a wrapper which maps the entire range of
the buffer. The driver backend functions have been renamed to
map_range and they now all take the offset and size arguments.
When the COGL_BUFFER_MAP_HINT_DISCARD hint is used and the map range
extension is available instead of using glBufferData to invalidate the
buffer it will instead pass the new GL_MAP_HINT_INVALIDATE_BUFFER
flag. There is now additionally a COGL_BUFFER_MAP_HINT_DISCARD_REGION
hint which can be used if the application only wants to discard the
small region that is mapped. glMapBufferRange is always used if it is
available even if the entire buffer is being mapped because it seems
more robust to pass those flags then to call glBufferData.

Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib
api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced
cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis.
One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API
is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib
API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl.
This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors
which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly. If Cogl
is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely
assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood.
This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as
an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error
and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common
cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error
and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting
themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent
with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if
they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies
in this case)
Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard
GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn
developers that are used to using the GError api.

Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to
not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and
although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type
that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError
unless Cogl is built with glib disabled.
Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops
the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the
CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we
are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl
API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be
able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of
cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility
source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for
compatibility too.
Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14
branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs
have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which
understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of
CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use
gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not
well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't
aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors.
(GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs
bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.)
The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch
even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very
awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.

This adds a version header which contains macros to define which
version of Cogl the application is being compiled against. This helps
applications that want to support multiple incompatible versions of
Cogl at compile time.
The macros are called COGL_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}. This does not
match Clutter which names them CLUTTER_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}_VERSION but
I think the former is nicer and it at least matches Cairo and Pango.
The values of the macro are defined to COGL_VERSION_*_INTERNAL which
is generated by the configure script into cogl-defines.h.
There is also a macro for the entire version as a string called
COGL_VERSION_STRING.
The internal utility macros for encoding a 3 part version number into
a single integer have been moved into the new header so they can be
used publicly as a convenient way to check if the version is within a
particular range. There is also a COGL_VERSION_CHECK macro for the
very common case that a feature will be used since a particular
version of Cogl. There is a macro called COGL_VERSION which contains
the pre-encoded version of Cogl being compiled against for
convenience.
Unlike in Clutter this patch does not add any runtime version
identification mechanism.
A test case is also added which just contains static asserts to sanity
check the macros.

This adds public constructors which take a CoglBitmap to all primitive

constructors such as new_from_data, new_from_pixel_buffer and
new_from_file etc.
The already available internal bitmap constructor for CoglTexture2D
has had its flags parameter removed under the assumption that flags do

This option to GCC makes it give a warning whenever a global function

The following changes where made to fix problems:
• Some functions were made static
• cogl-path.h (the one containing the 1.0 API) was split into two
files, one defining the functions and one defining the enums so that
cogl-path.c can include the enum and function declarations from the
2.0 API as well as the function declarations from the 1.0 API.
• cogl2-clip-state has been removed. This only had one experimental

might as well remove it favour of the equivalent cogl_framebuffer_*
API.
• The GLX, SDL and WGL winsys's now have a private header to define
their get_vtable function instead of directly declaring in the C
file where it is called.
• All places that were calling COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE need to have the
cogl_is_whatever function declared so these have been added either
as a public function or in a private header.
• Some files that were not including the header containing their
function declarations have been fixed to do so.
• Any unused error quark functions have been removed. If we later want
them we should add them back one by one and add a declaration for
them in a header.
• _cogl_is_framebuffer has been renamed to cogl_is_framebuffer and
made a public function with a declaration in cogl-framebuffer.h
• Similarly for CoglOnscreen.
• cogl_vdraw_indexed_attributes is called
cogl_framebuffer_vdraw_indexed_attributes in the header. The
definition has been changed to match the header.
• cogl_index_buffer_allocate has been removed. This had no declaration
and I'm not sure what it's supposed to do.
• CoglJournal has been changed to use the internal CoglObject macro so
that it won't define an exported cogl_is_journal symbol.
• The _cogl_blah_pointer_from_handle functions have been removed.
CoglHandle isn't used much anymore anyway and in the few places
where it is used I think it's safe to just use the implicit cast
from void* to the right type.

The idea is that CoglPixelBuffer should just be a buffer that can be
used for pixel data and it has no idea about the details of any images
that are stored in it. This is analogous to CoglAttributeBuffer which
itself does not have any information about the attributes. When you
want to use a pixel buffer you should create a CoglBitmap which points
to a region of the attribute buffer and provides the extra needed
information such as the width, height and format. That way it is also
possible to use a single CoglPixelBuffer with multiple bitmaps.
The changes that are made are:
• cogl_pixel_buffer_new_with_size has been removed and in its place is
cogl_bitmap_new_with_size. This will create a pixel buffer at the
right size and rowstride for the given width/height/format and
immediately create a single CoglBitmap to point into it. The old
function had an out-parameter for the stride of the image but with
the new API this should be queriable from the bitmap (although there
is no function for this yet).
• There is now a public cogl_pixel_buffer_new constructor. This takes
a size in bytes and data pointer similarly to
cogl_attribute_buffer_new.
• cogl_texture_new_from_buffer has been removed. If you want to create
a texture from a pixel buffer you should wrap it up in a bitmap
first. There is already API to create a texture from a bitmap.
This patch also does a bit of header juggling because cogl-context.h
was including cogl-texture.h and cogl-framebuffer.h which were causing
some circular dependencies when cogl-bitmap.h includes cogl-context.h.
These weren't actually needed in cogl-context.h itself but a few other
headers were relying on them being included so this adds the #includes
where necessary.

Conceptually the uniform locations are tied to the pipeline so that
whenever setting a value for a new pipeline the application is
expected to call this function. However in practice the uniform
locations are global to the CoglContext. The names are stored in a
linked list where the position in the list is the uniform location.
The global indices are used so that each pipeline can store a mask of
which uniforms it overrides. That way it is quicker to detect which
uniforms are different from the last pipeline that used the same
CoglProgramState so it can avoid flushing uniforms that haven't
changed. Currently the values are not actually compared which means
that it will only avoid flushing a uniform if there is a common
ancestor that sets the value (or if the same pipeline is being flushed
again - in which case the pipeline and its common ancestor are the
same thing).
The uniform values are stored in the big state of the pipeline as a
sparse linked list. A bitmask stores which values have been overridden
and only overridden values are stored in the linked list.

This adds two new experimental public functions to replace the old
internal _cogl_pipeline_set_cull_face_state function:
void
cogl_pipeline_set_cull_face_mode (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
CoglPipelineCullFaceMode cull_face_mode);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_front_face_winding (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
CoglWinding front_winding);
There are also the corresponding getters.
