This is a publicly exposed texture backend to create a texture which
contains the contents of an X11 pixmap. The API is currently marked as
experimental.
The backend internally holds a handle to another texture. All of the
backend virtuals simply redirect to the internal texture.
The texture can optionally be automatically updated if the
automatic_updates parameter is TRUE. If set then Cogl will listen for
damage events on the pixmap and update the texture accordingly.
Alternatively a damage object can be created externally and passed
down to Cogl.
The updates can be performed with XGetImage, XShmGetImage or the
GLX_EXT_texture_pixmap extension. If the TFP extension is used it will
optionally try to create a rectangle texture if the driver does not
support NPOTs or it is forced through the
COGL_PIXMAP_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE or CLUTTER_PIXMAP_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE
environment variables.
If the GLXFBConfig does not support mipmapping then it will fallback
to using X{Shm,}GetImage. It keeps a separate texture around for this
so that it can later start using the TFP texture again if the texture
is later drawn with mipmaps disabled.
This adds the framework needed to check for winsys specific extensions
(such as GLX extensions) using a similar mechanism to the
cogl-feature-functions header. There is a separate
cogl-winsys-feature-functions header which will contain macros to list
the extensions and functions. cogl_create_context_winsys now calls
_cogl_feature_check for each of these functions. _cogl_feature_check
has had to be changed to accept the driver prefix as the first
parameter so that it can prepend "GLX" rather than "GL" in this case.
