This makes sure the EGL_KHR_create_context enums are always defined in
cogl-winsys-egl.c so we will build with drivers that don't support this
extension. Cogl will do runtime checks to explicitly check that the
extension is available before ever referencing these enums so this is
safe to do.

Similar to commit 2c0cfdefbb9d1 for the SDL2 winsys, the GLX and EGL
window systems need to bind the dummy surface or drawable when the
currently bound onscreen is destroyed so that there will always be a
valid context bound.
Previously I got the idea that this would not be necessary on GLX
because the documentation for glXDestroyDrawable states that the
drawable won't actually be destroyed if it is currently bound until it
becomes unbound. However it doesn't say what happens if the underlying
X window is also destroyed and after testing it seems this causes a
segfault in Mesa in GLX and an XError for EGLX.

This adds a new CoglDriver for GL 3 called COGL_DRIVER_GL3. When
requested, the GLX, EGL and SDL2 winsyss will set the necessary
attributes to request a forward-compatible core profile 3.1 context.
That means it will have no deprecated features.
To simplify the explosion of checks for specific combinations of
context->driver, many of these conditionals have now been replaced
with private feature flags that are checked instead. The GL and GLES
drivers now initialise these private feature flags depending on which
driver is used.
The fixed function backends now explicitly check whether the fixed
function private feature is available which means the GL3 driver will
fall back to always using the GLSL progend. Since Rob's latest patches
the GLSL progend no longer uses any fixed function API anyway so it
should just work.
The driver is currently lower priority than COGL_DRIVER_GL so it will
not be used unless it is specificly requested. We may want to change
this priority at some point because apparently Mesa can make some
memory savings if a core profile context is used.
In GL 3, getting the combined extensions string with glGetString is
deprecated so this patch changes it to use glGetStringi to build up an
array of extensions instead. _cogl_context_get_gl_extensions now
returns this array instead of trying to return a const string. The
caller is expected to free the array.
Some issues with this patch:
• GL 3 does not support GL_ALPHA format textures. We should probably
make this a feature flag or something. Cogl uses this to render text
which currently just throws a GL error and breaks so it's pretty
important to do something about this before considering the GL3
driver to be stable.
• GL 3 doesn't support client side vertex buffers. This probably
doesn't matter because CoglBuffer won't normally use malloc'd
buffers if VBOs are available, but it might but worth making
malloc'd buffers a private feature and forcing it not to use them.
• GL 3 doesn't support the default vertex array object. This patch
just makes it create and bind a single non-default vertex array
object which gets used just like the normal default object. Ideally
it would be good to use vertex array objects properly and attach
them to a CoglPrimitive to cache the state.

The EGL winsys had a special case code path when trying to create a
context where if it failed it would try again except without requesting
a stencil buffer. Historically this code path was to allow Clutter to
run on PowerVR MBX hardware which doesn't support a stencil buffer. It
doesn't really make sense to keep this workaround in Cogl as it would
leave Cogl in a state where the clip stack doesn't work without
providing any feedback to the developer. If we need to support running
on MBX like hardware - probably not very likely these days - then we
should provide developer control over the stencil buffer so the
equivalent workaround could be implemented on top of Cogl.

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.
Previously when pushing the GLES2 context with an onscreen framebuffer
it would just call bind_onscreen. This actually binds it with Cogl's
context so presumably the context isolation wasn't working properly.
This patch splits out bind_onscreen to have a second function called
bind_onscreen_with_context that explicitly takes the EGL context to
use. Cogl now uses this when pushing the GLES2 context.

Previously, Cogl was advertising the GLES2 context feature whenever
the EGL winsys was used, even if the winsys was used with the GL
driver. This wasn't working because when the GL context is created the
API is set to GL with eglBindAPI and it is never changed back to GLES
when the GLES2 context is created. That meant that the created context
is actually GL not GLES2. Any rendering would then fail because the GL
context does not understand the precision statement.
It could be possible to fix it so that it will set the API correctly
before creating the context. It would then also need to reset the API
and unbind the previous context whenever switching between GLES2 and
GL contexts. If the context isn't unbound first then eglMakeCurrent
will actually try to bind both contexts at the same time and at least
Mesa detects this situation and reports that the two contexts
conflict. Presumably we would also need to do something more clever
when we retrieve the function pointers for the GLES2 context.
Currently we just copy them from the CoglContext but if the context is
using the GL driver then this would mean the functions came from libGL
not libGLESv2.

According to the EGL spec, eglGetProcAddress should only be used to
retrieve extension functions. It also says that returning non-NULL
does not mean the extension is available so you could interpret this
as saying that the function is allowed to return garbage for core
functions. This seems to happen at least for the Android
implementation of EGL.
To workaround this the winsys's are now passed down a flag to say
whether the function is from the core API. This information is already
in the gl-prototypes headers as the minimum core GL version and as a
pair of flags to specify whether it is available in core GLES1 and
GLES2. If the function is in core the EGL winsys will now avoid using
eglGetProcAddress and always fallback to querying the library directly
with the GModule API.
The GLX winsys is left alone because glXGetProcAddress apparently
supports querying core API and extension functions.
The WGL winsys could ideally be changed because wglGetProcAddress
should also only be used for extension functions but the situation is
slightly different because WGL considers anything from GL > 1.1 to be
an extension so it would need a bit more information to determine
whether to query the function directly from the library.
The SDL winsys is also left alone because it's not as easy to portably
determine which GL library SDL has chosen to load in order to resolve
the symbols directly.

This makes it possible to integrate existing GLES2 code with

Currently all GLES2 usage is handled with separate GLES2 contexts to
ensure that GLES2 api usage doesn't interfere with Cogl's own use of
OpenGL[ES]. The api has been designed though so we can provide tighter
integration later.
The api would allow us to support GLES2 virtualized on top of an
OpenGL/GLX driver as well as GLES2 virtualized on the core rendering api
of Cogl itself. Virtualizing the GLES2 support on Cogl will allow us to
take advantage of Cogl debugging facilities as well as let us optimize
the cost of allocating multiple GLES2 contexts and switching between
them which can both be very expensive with many drivers.
As as a side effect of this patch Cogl can also now be used as a
portable window system binding API for GLES2 as an alternative to EGL.

Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform

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

This adds cogl_onscreen_template_set_swap_throttled() api that allows

up-front as part of the onscreen template that is used to create a
CoglDisplay when initializing Cogl. This is desirable because some
platforms may not support configuring swap throttling on a per
framebuffer basis and also since applications often want to apply the
same policy to all onscreen framebuffers anyway.
This allows applications to specify certain constraints that feed into
the process of selecting a CoglRenderer backend. For example
applications might depend on x11 for handling input and so they require
a backend that's also based on x11.
CoglTexture2D had an assert to verify that the EGL winsys was being

flags to each winsys, one of which is 'uses EGL'. CoglTexture2D can
use this to determine if the winsys is supported.
Eventually we might want to expose these flags publically so that an
application can select a winsys based on certain conditions. For
example, an application may need a winsys that uses X or EGL but
doesn't care exactly which one it is.

Also when we first create a context we typically have to do a very

Previously the EGL backend was directly prodding the width/height
members of the framebuffer structure when a configure notify event is

is already using an abstraction for updating the size which does set
the flag. This patch just makes the EGL backend also use that
abstraction.
As part of the on going, incremental effort to purge the non type safe
CoglHandle type from the Cogl API this patch tackles most of the
CoglHandle uses relating to textures.
We'd postponed making this change for quite a while because we wanted to
have a clearer understanding of how we wanted to evolve the texture APIs
towards Cogl 2.0 before exposing type safety here which would be
difficult to change later since it would imply breaking APIs.
The basic idea that we are steering towards now is that CoglTexture
can be considered to be the most primitive interface we have for any
object representing a texture. The texture interface would provide
roughly these methods:
cogl_texture_get_width
cogl_texture_get_height
cogl_texture_can_repeat
cogl_texture_can_mipmap
cogl_texture_generate_mipmap;
cogl_texture_get_format
cogl_texture_set_region
cogl_texture_get_region
Besides the texture interface we will then start to expose types
corresponding to specific texture types: CoglTexture2D,
CoglTexture3D, CoglTexture2DSliced, CoglSubTexture, CoglAtlasTexture and
CoglTexturePixmapX11.
We will then also expose an interface for the high-level texture types
we have (such as CoglTexture2DSlice, CoglSubTexture and
CoglAtlasTexture) called CoglMetaTexture. CoglMetaTexture is an
additional interface that lets you iterate a virtual region of a meta
texture and get mappings of primitive textures to sub-regions of that
virtual region. Internally we already have this kind of abstraction for
dealing with sliced texture, sub-textures and atlas textures in a
consistent way, so this will just make that abstraction public. The aim
here is to clarify that there is a difference between primitive textures
(CoglTexture2D/3D) and some of the other high-level textures, and also
enable developers to implement primitives that can support meta textures
since they can only be used with the cogl_rectangle API currently.
The thing that's not so clean-cut with this are the texture constructors
we have currently; such as cogl_texture_new_from_file which no longer
make sense when CoglTexture is considered to be an interface. These
will basically just become convenient factory functions and it's just a
bit unusual that they are within the cogl_texture namespace. It's worth
noting here that all the texture type APIs will also have their own type
specific constructors so these functions will only be used for the
convenience of being able to create a texture without really wanting to
know the details of what type of texture you need. Longer term for 2.0
we may come up with replacement names for these factory functions or the
other thing we are considering is designing some asynchronous factory
functions instead since it's so often detrimental to application

If the user doesn't explicitly pass an onscreen template then instead of
leaving display->onscreen_template as NULL we now instantiate a template
ourselves. This simplifies winsys code that might want to refer to the
template since it needn't first check for a NULL pointer.

Cogl aims to consistently put the origin of 2D objects at the top-left
instead of the bottom left as OpenGL does, but there was an oversight
and the experimental cogl_framebuffer_swap_region API was accepting
coordinates relative to the bottom left. Cogl will now flip the user's
given rectangles to be relative to the bottom of the framebufffer before
sending them to APIs like glXCopySubBuffer and glBlitFramebuffer.
