ClutterClone bases its preferred size on the preferred size of
the source actor, so it needs to invalid its cached preferred
size when the preferred size of the source actor changes.
In order for this to work, we need to have notification when
the size of the source actor changes, so add a ::queue-relayout
signal to ClutterActor.
Then connect to this from ClutterClone and queue a relayout
on the clone when a relayout is queued on the source.

Instead of passing a boolean value, the ::allocate virtual function
should use a bitmask and flags. This gives us room for expansion
without breaking API/ABI, and allows to encode more information to
the allocation process instead of just changes of absolute origin.
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
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).
Bug 1484 - Redraw ClutterClone when the source changes, even for
!visible sources
Connect to ::queue-redraw on the clone source and queue a redraw.
This allows redrawing the Clone when the source changes, even in
case of a non visible source actor.

Add annotations such as (transfer-none) (out) (element-type ClutterActor),
and so forth to the doc comments as appropriate.
The annotations added here are a combination of the annotations previously
in gir-repository for Clutter and annotations found in a review of all
return values with that were being parsed with a transfer of "full".

The opacity of the source actor when painted from the clone should be
combined with the opacity of the clone as well as the clone's parents,
instead of just the parents.
If the source of a ClutterClone does not have a parent actor the
clone will be unable to paint it because it's missing an allocation.
A simple way to fix it is to make the ClutterClone act like a
"foster parent": when it is allocated it will check if the source
actor has a parent and if not it will allocate the source with
its preferred size.
* generic-actor-clone:
Remove CloneTexture from the API
[tests] Clean up the Clone interactive test
Rename ActorClone to Clone/2
Rename ActorClone to Clone/1
Improves the unit test to verify more awkward scaling and some corresponding fixes
Implements a generic ClutterActorClone that doesn't need fbos.
ClutterClone supercedes ClutterCloneTexture, since it can clone
every kind of actor -- including composite ones.
This is another "brain surgery with a shotgun" kind of commit: it
removes CloneTexture and updates every test case using CloneTexture
to ClutterClone. The API fallout is minimal, luckily for us.
Step two: rename the object and its methods.
While we're at it, adhere more strictly to the coding style
practises; rename :clone-source to :source; add a setter method
for the :source property; take a reference on the source actor
to avoid it disappearing while we're still accessing it.
