9aea72fab5 Allow multiple CoglAtlases for textures
Previously Cogl would only ever use one atlas for textures and if it
reached the maximum texture size then all other new textures would get
their own GL texture. This patch makes it so that we create as many
atlases as needed. This should avoid breaking up some batches and it
will be particularly good if we switch to always using multi-texturing
with a default shader that selects between multiple atlases using a
vertex attribute.

Whenever a new atlas is created it is stored in a GSList on the
context. A weak weference is taken on the atlas using
cogl_object_set_user_data so that it can be removed from the list when
the atlas is destroyed. The atlas textures themselves take a reference
to the atlas and this is the only thing that keeps the atlas
alive. This means that once the atlas becomes empty it will
automatically be destroyed.

All of the COGL_NOTEs pertaining to atlases are now prefixed with the
atlas pointer to make it clearer which atlas is changing.

0f0f763570 cogl-atlas: Convert to be a CoglObject subclass
To implement multiple atlases it will be useful to have ref-counting
on the CoglAtlas so it makes sense to convert it to be a CoglObject.

dc1f1949d0 Remove the GLES2 wrapper
The GLES2 wrapper is no longer needed because the shader generation is
done within the GLSL fragend and vertend and any functions that are
different for GLES2 are now guarded by #ifdefs.

a05c701e6b cogl: upload matrices with uniforms on GLES2
Once the GLES2 wrapper is removed we won't be able to upload the
matrices with the fixed function API any more. The fixed function API
gives a global state for setting the matrix but if a custom shader
uniform is used for the matrices then the state is per
program. _cogl_matrix_stack_flush_to_gl is called in a few places and
it is assumed the current pipeline doesn't need to be flushed before
it is called. To allow these semantics to continue to work, on GLES2
the matrix flush now just stores a reference to the matrix stack in
the CoglContext. A pre_paint virtual is added to the progend which is
called whenever a pipeline is flushed, even if the same pipeline was
flushed already. This gives the GLSL progend a chance to upload the
matrices to the uniforms. The combined modelview/projection matrix is
only calculated if it is used. The generated programs end up never
using the modelview or projection matrix so it usually only has to
upload the combined matrix. When a matrix stack is flushed a reference
is taked to it by the pipeline progend and the age is stored so that
if the same state is used with the same program again then we don't
need to reupload the uniform.

e38e9e0355 cogl-vertex-attribute: Use glVertexAttribPointer on GLES2
When the GLES2 wrapper is removed we can't use the fixed function API
such as glColorPointer to set the builtin attributes. Instead the GLSL
progend now maintains a cache of attribute locations that are queried
with glGetAttribLocation. The code that previously maintained a cache
of the enabled texture coord arrays has been modified to also cache
the enabled vertex attributes under GLES2. The vertex attribute API is
now the only place that is using this cache so it has been moved into
cogl-vertex-attribute.c

fa13f6c107 cogl: Add a vertend to generate GLSL
The GLSL vertend is mostly only useful for GLES2. The fixed function
vertend is kept at higher priority than the GLSL vertend so it is

0098dc7acc Rename CoglPipelineBackend to CoglPipelineFragend
The current Cogl pipeline backends are entirely concerned with the
fragment processing state. We also want to eventually have separate
backends to generate shaders for the vertex processing state so we
need to rename the fragment backends. 'Fragend' is a somewhat weird
name but we wanted to avoid ending up with illegible symbols like
CoglPipelineFragmentBackendGlslPrivate.

19562fc972 context: only declare arbfp cache for GL
We were trying to declare and initializing an arbfp program cache for
GLES but since the prototypes for the _hash and _equal functions were
only available for GL this broke the GLES builds. By #ifdefing the code
to conditionally declare/initialize for GL only this should hopefully
fix GLES builds.

0087910574 arbfp: Adds an ARBfp program cache
This adds a cache (A GHashTable) of ARBfp programs and before ever
starting to code-generate a new program we will always first try and
find an existing program in the cache. This uses _cogl_pipeline_hash and
_cogl_pipeline_equal to hash and compare the keys for the cache.

There is a new COGL_DEBUG=disable-program-caches option that can disable
the cache for debugging purposes.

046434e222 pipeline: Implements _cogl_pipeline_hash function
This allows us to get a hash for a set of state groups for a given
pipeline. This can be used for example to get a hash of the fragment
processing state of a pipeline so we can implement a cache for compiled
arbfp/glsl programs.

1d88e6c8ac cogl-journal: Attempt to clip manually to avoid breaking up batches
Before flushing the journal there is now a separate iteration that
will try to determine if the matrix of the clip stack and the matrix
of the rectangle in each entry are on the same plane. If they are it
can completely avoid the clip stack and instead manually modify the
vertex and texture coordinates to implement the clip. The has the
advantage that it won't break up batching if a single clipped
rectangle is used in a scene.

The software clip is only used if there is no user program and no
texture matrices. There is a threshold to the size of the batch where
it is assumed that it is worth the cost to break up a batch and
program the GPU to do the clipping. Currently this is set to 8
although this figure is plucked out of thin air.

To check whether the two matrices are on the same plane it tries to
determine if one of the matrices is just a simple translation of the
other. In the process of this it also works out what the translation
would be. These values can be used to translate the clip rectangle
into the coordinate space of the rectangle to be logged. Then we can
do the clip directly in the rectangle's coordinate space.

6607306a2d cogl: Remove the generated array size for cogl_tex_coord_in
Under GLES2 we were defining the cogl_tex_coord_in varying as an array
with a size determined by the number of texture coordinate arrays
enabled whenever the program is used. This meant that we may have to
regenerate the shader with a different size if the shader is used with
more texture coord arrays later. However in OpenGL the equivalent
builtin varying gl_TexCoord is simply defined as:

varying vec4 gl_TexCoord[]; /* <-- no size */

GLSL is documented that if you declare an array with no size then you
can only access it with a constant index and the size of the array
will be determined by the highest index used. If you want to access it
with a non-constant expression you need to redeclare the array
yourself with a size.

We can replicate the same behaviour in our Cogl shaders by instead
declaring the cogl_tex_coord_in with no size. That way we don't have
to pass around the number of tex coord attributes enabled when we
flush a material. It also means that CoglShader can go back to
directly uploading the source string to GL when cogl_shader_source is
called so that we don't have to keep a copy of it around.

If the user wants to access cogl_tex_coord_in with a non-constant
index then they can simply redeclare the array themself. Hopefully
developers will expect to have to do this if they are accustomed to
the gl_TexCoord array.

7474d320f6 cogl-context: Get rid of the features_cached member
The features_cached member of CoglContext is intended to mark when
we've calculated the features so that we know if they are ready in
cogl_get_features. However we always intialize the features while
creating the context so features_cached will never be FALSE so it's
not useful. We also had the odd behaviour that the COGL_DEBUG feature
overrides were only applied in the first call to
cogl_get_features. However there are other functions that use the
feature flags such as cogl_features_available that don't use this
function so in some cases the feature flags will be interpreted before
the overrides are applied. This patch makes it always initialize the
features and apply the overrides immediately while creating the
context. This fixes a problem with COGL_DEBUG=disable-arbfp where the
first material flushed is done before any call to cogl_get_features so
it may still use ARBfp.

7379a5fc04 cogl: Rename arbfp_source_buffer to fragment_source_buffer
Only one of the material backends can be generating code at the same
time so it seems to make sense to share the same source buffer between
arbfp and glsl. The new name is fragment_source_buffer in case we
later want to create a new buffer for the vertex shader. That probably
couldn't share the same buffer because it will likely need to be
generated at the same time.

cce8645aba path 2.0: update path API for experimental 2.0 API
When COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API is defined cogl.h will now include
cogl2-path.h which changes cogl_path_new() so it can directly return a
CoglPath pointer; it no longer exposes a prototype for
cogl_{get,set}_path and all the remaining cogl_path_ functions now take
an explicit path as their first argument.

The idea is that we want to encourage developers to retain path objects
for as long as possible so they can take advantage of us uploading the
path geometry to the GPU. Currently although it is possible to start a
new path and query the current path, it is not convenient.

The other thing is that we want to get Cogl to the point where nothing
depends on a global, current context variable. This will allow us to one
day define a sensible threading model if/when that is ever desired.

353ea5299b cogl-shader: Prepend boilerplate for portable shaders
We now prepend a set of defines to any given GLSL shader so that we can
define builtin uniforms/attributes within the "cogl" namespace that we
can use to provide compatibility across a range of the earlier versions
of GLSL.

This updates test-cogl-shader-glsl.c and test-shader.c so they no longer
needs to special case GLES vs GL when splicing together its shaders as
well as the blur, colorize and desaturate effects.

To get a feel for the new, portable uniform/attribute names here are the
defines for OpenGL vertex shaders:

 #define cogl_position_in gl_Vertex
 #define cogl_color_in gl_Color
 #define cogl_tex_coord_in  gl_MultiTexCoord0
 #define cogl_tex_coord0_in gl_MultiTexCoord0
 #define cogl_tex_coord1_in gl_MultiTexCoord1
 #define cogl_tex_coord2_in gl_MultiTexCoord2
 #define cogl_tex_coord3_in gl_MultiTexCoord3
 #define cogl_tex_coord4_in gl_MultiTexCoord4
 #define cogl_tex_coord5_in gl_MultiTexCoord5
 #define cogl_tex_coord6_in gl_MultiTexCoord6
 #define cogl_tex_coord7_in gl_MultiTexCoord7
 #define cogl_normal_in gl_Normal

 #define cogl_position_out gl_Position
 #define cogl_point_size_out gl_PointSize
 #define cogl_color_out gl_FrontColor
 #define cogl_tex_coord_out gl_TexCoord

 #define cogl_modelview_matrix gl_ModelViewMatrix
 #define cogl_modelview_projection_matrix gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix
 #define cogl_projection_matrix gl_ProjectionMatrix
 #define cogl_texture_matrix gl_TextureMatrix

And for fragment shaders we have:

 #define cogl_color_in gl_Color
 #define cogl_tex_coord_in gl_TexCoord

 #define cogl_color_out gl_FragColor
 #define cogl_depth_out gl_FragDepth

 #define cogl_front_facing gl_FrontFacing

e5eff5fc89 cogl: add separate material for blended source_colors
When using cogl_set_source_color4ub there is a notable difference
between colors that require blending and those that dont. When trying to
modify the color of pipeline referenced by the journal we don't force a
flush of the journal unless the color change will also change the
blending state. By using two separate pipeline objects for handing
opaque or transparent colors we can avoid ever flushing the journal when
repeatedly using cogl_set_source_color and jumping between opaque and
transparent colors.

0c8eb904c0 cogl: Move the clip stack dirtiness to the context rather than the FB
Previously we tracked whether the clip stack needs flushing as part of
the CoglClipState which is part of the CoglFramebuffer state. This is
a bit odd because most of the clipping state (such as the clip planes
and the scissor) are part of the GL context's state rather than the
framebuffer. We were marking the clip state on the framebuffer dirty
every time we change the framebuffer anyway so it seems to make more
sense to have the dirtiness be part of the global context.

Instead of a just a single boolean to record whether the state needs
flushing, the CoglContext now holds a reference to the clip stack that
was flushed. That way we can flush arbitrary stack states and if it
happens to be the same as the state already flushed then Cogl will do
nothing. This will be useful if we log the clip stack in the journal
because then we will need to flush unrelated clip stack states for
each batch.

f80cb197a9 cogl: rename CoglMaterial -> CoglPipeline
This applies an API naming change that's been deliberated over for a
while now which is to rename CoglMaterial to CoglPipeline.

For now the new pipeline API is marked as experimental and public
headers continue to talk about materials not pipelines. The CoglMaterial
API is now maintained in terms of the cogl_pipeline API internally.
Currently this API is targeting Cogl 2.0 so we will have time to
integrate it properly with other upcoming Cogl 2.0 work.

The basic reasons for the rename are:
- That the term "material" implies to many people that they are
  constrained to fragment processing; perhaps as some kind of high-level
  texture abstraction.
    - In Clutter they get exposed by ClutterTexture actors which may be
      re-inforcing this misconception.
- When comparing how other frameworks use the term material, a material
  sometimes describes a multi-pass fragment processing technique which
  isn't the case in Cogl.
- In code, "CoglPipeline" will hopefully be a much more self documenting
  summary of what these objects represent; a full GPU pipeline
  configuration including, for example, vertex processing, fragment
  processing and blending.
- When considering the API documentation story, at some point we need a
  document introducing developers to how the "GPU pipeline" works so it
  should become intuitive that CoglPipeline maps back to that
  description of the GPU pipeline.
- This is consistent in terminology and concept to OpenGL 4's new
  pipeline object which is a container for program objects.

Note: The cogl-material.[ch] files have been renamed to
cogl-material-compat.[ch] because otherwise git doesn't seem to treat
the change as a moving the old cogl-material.c->cogl-pipeline.c and so
we loose all our git-blame history.

44644d0a9e primitives: implements cogl_polygon on vertex_attributes
This updates the implementation of cogl_polygon so it sits on the new
CoglVertexArray and CoglVertexAttribute apis. This lets us minimize the
number of different drawing paths we have to maintain in Cogl.

Since the sliced texture support for cogl_polygon has been broken for a
long time now and no one has complained this patch also greatly
simplifies the code by not doing any special material validation so
cogl_polygon will be restricted in the same way as
cogl_draw_vertex_attributes. (i.e. sliced textures not supported).

7ab928a4e0 cogl: Use separate materials for set_source_color and texture
Previously cogl_set_source_color and cogl_set_source_texture modified
a single global material. If an application then mixes using
cogl_set_source_color and texture then the material will constantly
need a new ARBfp program because the numbers of layers alternates
between 0 and 1. This patch just adds a second global material that is
only used for cogl_set_source_texture. I think it would still end up
flushing the journal if cogl_set_source_texture is used with multiple
different textures but at least it should avoid a recompile unless the
texture target also changes. It might be nice to somehow attach a
material to the CoglTexture for use with cogl_set_source_texture but
it would be difficult to implement this without creating a circular
reference.

1b9a247174 cogl: Adds {push,pop,get}_source functions
This exposes the idea of a stack of source materials instead of just
having a single current material. This allows the writing of orthogonal
code that can change the current source material and restore it to its
previous state. It also allows the implementation of new composite
primitives that may want to validate the current source material and
possibly make override changes in a derived material.

da3be3df6b cogl-material: Add support for point sprites
This adds a new API call to enable point sprite coordinate generation
for a material layer:

void
cogl_material_set_layer_point_sprite_coords_enabled (CoglHandle material,
                                                     int layer_index,
                                                     gboolean enable);

There is also a corresponding get function.

Enabling point sprite coords simply sets the GL_COORD_REPLACE of the
GL_POINT_SPRITE glTexEnv when flusing the material. There is no
separate application control for glEnable(GL_POINT_SPRITE). Instead it
is left permanently enabled under the assumption that it has no affect
unless GL_COORD_REPLACE is enabled for a texture unit.

3979de6982 cogl: remove _cogl_material_flush_gl_state flush options
Since cogl_material_copy should now be cheap to use we can simplify
how we handle fallbacks and wrap mode overrides etc by simply copying
the original material and making our override changes on the new
material. This avoids the need for a sideband state structure that has
been growing in size and makes flushing material state more complex.

Note the plan is to eventually use weak materials for these override
materials and attach these as private data to the original materials so
we aren't making so many one-shot materials.

1cc3ae6944 CoglMaterial: Implements sparse materials design
This is a complete overhaul of the data structures used to manage
CoglMaterial state.

We have these requirements that were aiming to meet:
(Note: the references to "renderlists" correspond to the effort to
support scenegraph level shuffling of Clutter actor primitives so we can
minimize GPU state changes)

Sparse State:
We wanted a design that allows sparse descriptions of state so it scales
well as we make CoglMaterial responsible for more and more state. It
needs to scale well in terms of memory usage and the cost of operations
we need to apply to materials such as comparing, copying and flushing
their state. I.e. we would rather have these things scale by the number
of real changes a material represents not by how much overall state
CoglMaterial becomes responsible for.

Cheap Copies:
As we add support for renderlists in Clutter we will need to be able to
get an immutable handle for a given material's current state so that we
can retain a record of a primitive with its associated material without
worrying that changes to the original material will invalidate that
record.

No more flush override options:
We want to get rid of the flush overrides mechanism we currently use to
deal with texture fallbacks, wrap mode changes and to handle the use of
highlevel CoglTextures that need to be resolved into lowlevel textures
before flushing the material state.

The flush options structure has been expanding in size and the structure
is logged with every journal entry so it is not an approach that scales
well at all. It also makes flushing material state that much more
complex.

Weak Materials:
Again for renderlists we need a way to create materials derived from
other materials but without the strict requirement that modifications to
the original material wont affect the derived ("weak") material. The
only requirement is that its possible to later check if the original
material has been changed.

A summary of the new design:

A CoglMaterial now basically represents a diff against its parent.
Each material has a single parent and a mask of state that it changes.

Each group of state (such as the blending state) has an "authority"
which is found by walking up from a given material through its ancestors
checking the difference mask until a match for that group is found.

There is only one root node to the graph of all materials, which is the
default material first created when Cogl is being initialized.

All the groups of state are divided into two types, such that
infrequently changed state belongs in a separate "BigState" structure
that is only allocated and attached to a material when necessary.

CoglMaterialLayers are another sparse structure. Like CoglMaterials they
represent a diff against their parent and all the layers are part of
another graph with the "default_layer_0" layer being the root node that
Cogl creates during initialization.

Copying a material is now basically just a case of slice allocating a
CoglMaterial, setting the parent to be the source being copied and
zeroing the mask of changes.

Flush overrides should now be handled by simply relying on the cheapness
of copying a material and making changes to it. (This will be done in a
follow on commit)

Weak material support will be added in a follow on commit.

acc44161c1 material: Adds backend abstraction for fragment processing
As part of an effort to improve the architecture of CoglMaterial
internally this overhauls how we flush layer state to OpenGL by adding a
formal backend abstraction for fragment processing and further
formalizing the CoglTextureUnit abstraction.

There are three backends: "glsl", "arbfp" and "fixed". The fixed backend
uses the OpenGL fixed function APIs to setup the fragment processing,
the arbfp backend uses code generation to handle fragment processing
using an ARBfp program, and the GLSL backend is currently only there as
a formality to handle user programs associated with a material. (i.e.
the glsl backend doesn't yet support code generation)

The GLSL backend has highest precedence, then arbfp and finally the
fixed. If a backend can't support some particular CoglMaterial feature
then it will fallback to the next backend.

This adds three new COGL_DEBUG options:
* "disable-texturing" as expected should disable all texturing
* "disable-arbfp" always make the arbfp backend fallback
* "disable-glsl" always make the glsl backend fallback
* "show-source" show code generated by the arbfp/glsl backends

56dd71dba0 cogl: Introduce private feature flags and check for ARB_fp
The Cogl context has now a feature_flags_private enum that will allow us
to query and use OpenGL features without exposing them in the public
API.

The ARB_fragment_program extension is the first user of those flags.
Looking for this extension only happens in the gl driver as the gles
drivers will not expose them.

One can use _cogl_features_available_private() to check for the
availability of such private features.

While at it, reindent cogl-internal.h as described in CODING_STYLE.

338a37d468 analysis: Make all function declarations be protoypes
It's valid C to declare a function omitting it prototype, but it seems
to be a good practise to always declare a function with its
corresponding prototype.

4c1a12d824 [material] fix _set_alpha_test_function: missing a glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST)
Since the default alpha test function of GL_ALWAYS is equivalent to
GL_ALPHA_TEST being disabled we don't need to worry about Enabling/Disabling
it when flushing material state, instead it's enough to leave it always
enabled.  We will assume that any driver worth its salt wont incur any
additional cost for glEnable (GL_ALPHA_TEST) + GL_ALWAYS vs
glDisable (GL_ALPHA_TEST).

This patch simply calls glEnable (GL_ALPHA_TEST) in cogl_create_context

aaf5600b2d cogl: Use a CoglBitmask to store the list of used texcoord arrays
Instead of directly using a guint32 to store a bitmask for each used
texcoord array, it now stores them in a CoglBitmask. This removes the
limitation of 32 layers (although there are still other places in Cogl
that imply this restriction). To disable texcoord arrays code should
call _cogl_disable_other_texcoord_arrays which takes a bitmask of
texcoord arrays that should not be disabled. There are two extra
bitmasks stored in the CoglContext which are used temporarily for this
function to avoid allocating a new bitmask each time.

992d5f7fb6 cogl-vertex-buffer: Don't disable layers with no texture coords
It should be quite acceptable to use a texture without defining any
texture coords. For example a shader may be in use that is doing
texture lookups without referencing the texture coordinates. Also it
should be possible to replace the vertex colors using a texture layer
without a texture but with a constant layer color.

enable_state_for_drawing_buffer no longer sets any disabled layers in
the overrides. Instead of counting the number of units with texture
coordinates it now keeps them in a mask. This means there can now be
gaps in the list of enabled texture coordinate arrays. To cope with
this, the Cogl context now also stores a mask to track the enabled
arrays. Instead of code manually iterating each enabled array to
disable them, there is now an internal function called
_cogl_disable_texcoord_arrays which disables a given mask.

I think this could also fix potential bugs when a vertex buffer has
gaps in the texture coordinate attributes that it provides. For
example if the vertex buffer only had texture coordinates for layer 2
then the disabling code would not disable the coordinates for layers 0
and 1 even though they are not used. This could cause a crash if the
previous data for those arrays is no longer valid.
