Texture allocation is now consistently handled lazily such that the
internal format can now be controlled using
cogl_texture_set_components() and cogl_texture_set_premultiplied()
before allocating the texture with cogl_texture_allocate(). This means
that the internal_format arguments to texture constructors are now
redundant and since most of the texture constructors now can't ever fail
the error arguments are also redundant. This now means we no longer
use CoglPixelFormat in the public api for describing the internal format
of textures which had been bad solution originally due to how specific
CoglPixelFormat is which is missleading when we don't support such
explicit control over the internal format.

Note: there are numerous API changes for functions currently marked
as 'unstable' which we don't think are in use by anyone depending on
a stable 1.x api. Compared to the original patch though this avoids
changing the cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size() api which we know
is used by Mutter.
This declares the interface types CoglFramebuffer, CoglBuffer,
CoglTexture, CoglMetaTexture and CoglPrimitiveTexture as void when
including the public cogl.h header so that users don't have to use lots
of C type casts between instance types and interface types.
This also removes all of the COGL_XYZ() type cast macros since they do
nothing more than compile time type casting but it's less readable if
you haven't seen that coding pattern before.
Unlike with gobject based apis that use per-type macros for casting and
performing runtime type checking we instead prefer to do our runtime
type checking internally within the front-end public apis when objects
are passed into Cogl. This greatly reduces the verbosity for users of
the api and may help reduce the chance of excessive runtime type
checking that can sometimes be a problem.

Since we can't break the 1.x api this version of the patch actually
defines compatible NOP macros within deprecated/cogl-type-casts.h
This renames the global ctx and fb variables to test_ctx and test_fb
respectively in line with the names use on the master branch. This is to
make it easier to cherry pick patches from master.
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.
The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.
Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.
Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.
So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.
Instead of gsize we now use size_t
For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

This adds experimental 2.0 api replacements for the cogl_rectangle[_*]
functions that don't depend on having a current pipeline set on the
context via cogl_{set,push}_source() or having a current framebuffer set
on the context via cogl_push_framebuffer(). The aim for 2.0 is to switch
away from having a statefull context that affects drawing to having
framebuffer drawing apis that are explicitly passed a framebuffer and
pipeline.
To test this change several of the conformance tests were updated to use
this api instead of cogl_rectangle and
cogl_rectangle_with_texture_coords. Since it's quite laborious going
through all of the conformance tests the opportunity was taken to make
other clean ups in the conformance tests to replace other uses of
1.x api with experimental 2.0 api so long as that didn't affect what was
being tested.
This patch reworks our conformance testing framework because it seems
that glib's gtesting framework isn't really well suited to our use case.
For example we weren't able to test windows builds given the way we
were using it and also for each test we'd like to repeat the test
with several different environments so we can test important driver and
feature combinations.
This patch instead switches away to a simplified but custom approach for
running our unit tests. We hope that having a more bespoke setup will
enable us to easily extend it to focus on the details important to us.
Notable changes with this new approach are:
We can now run 'make test' for our mingw windows builds.
We've got rid of all the test-*report* make rules and we're just left
with 'make test'
'make test' now runs each test several times with different driver and
feature combinations checking the result for each run. 'make test' will
then output a concise table of all of the results.
The combinations tested are:
- OpenGL Fixed Function
- OpenGL ARBfp
- OpenGL GLSL
- OpenGL No NPOT texture support
- OpenGLES 2.0
- OpenGLES 2.0 No NPOT texture support

When requesting the texture data to test that we get back what we
uploaded, we need to ask for it in a premult format otherwise it will
get converted and the test will fail. This was working for the GL
driver because of a bug where it would fail to do the conversion.

As part of the on going effort to port the conformance tests that were
originally written as clutter tests to be standalone cogl tests this
patch ports the test-sub-texture test to be standalone now.
Reviewed-by: Neil Roberts <neil@linux.intel.com>
This makes a start on porting the Cogl conformance tests that currently
still live in the Clutter repository to be standalone Cogl tests that no
longer require a ClutterStage.
The main thing is that this commit brings in is the basic testing
infrastructure we need, so now we can port more and more tests
incrementally.
Since the test suite wants a way to synchronize X requests/replies and
we can't simply call XSynchronize in the test-utils code before we know
if we are really running on X this adds a check for an environment
variable named "COGL_X11_SYNC" in cogl-xlib-renderer.c and if it's set
it forces XSynchronize (dpy, TRUE) to be called.
By default the conformance tests are run off screen. This makes the
tests run much faster and they also don't interfere with other work you
may want to do by constantly stealing focus. CoglOnscreen framebuffers
obviously don't get tested this way so it's important that the tests
also get run on screen every once in a while, especially if changes are
being made to CoglFramebuffer related code. On screen testing can be
enabled by setting COGL_TEST_ONSCREEN=1 in your environment.
