The clutter-stage.h header still has a bunch of macros that have, for
reasons unknown[*], survived the 1.0 API cut and have long since been
deprecated. Let's hide them under the deprecated/ carpet and let us
never speak of them ever again.
[*] pretty sure alcohol or other psychotropic substances were involved
but I take the 5th on that.
Instead of defining new symbols for the windowing systems enabled at
configure time, we can reuse the same symbols for both the compile time
and run time checks, e.g.:
#ifdef CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11
if (clutter_check_windowing_backend (CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11))
/* use the clutter_x11_* API */
else
#endif
#ifdef CLUTTER_WINDOWING_WIN32
if (clutter_check_windowing_backend (CLUTTER_WINDOWING_WIN32))
/* use the clutter_win32_* API */
#endif
This scheme allows us to ensure that the input system namespace is free
for us to use and select at run time in later versions of Clutter.
We need debugging notes, to see what's happening when handling events.
We need to queue a (clipped) redraw when receiving a GDK_EXPOSE event.
We need to check the device (both master and source) of the event using
the GdkEvent API, and pass them to the ClutterEvent using the
corresponding Clutter API.
The code is generally wrong, and does not work. We need to skip the
GdkWindow creation when we have a foreing window, but we still need to
create the Cogl onscreen buffer and connect it to the GdkWindow's native
resource.
Just like the other backends can disable the internal event handling,
and use clutter_<backend>_handle_event() to do the native → Clutter
event translation.
Portable code should be allowed to check type backend currently being
used, so that it can use platform-specific API (not just Clutter's).
We don't want to go down the GDK route, with public types for
ClutterBackend and ClutterStageWindow implementations, and use the type
system, e.g.:
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11
if (GDK_IS_WINDOW_X11 (window))
use_x11_api (window);
else
#endif
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32
if (GDK_IS_WINDOW_WIN32 (window))
use_win32_api (window);
else
#endif
g_critical ("Unsupported backend");
This system would make us expose the backend system, and we want to
still reserve us the option to change the backend system to increase its
granularity — e.g. choosing different input event systems regardless of
the windowing system.
This commit adds a simple function that checks the backend type against
a symbolic constant — the same constant string that can be used to
select the backend at run-time through the CLUTTER_BACKEND environment
variable.
The Clutter backend split is opaque enough that should allow us to just
build all possible backends inside the same shared object, and select
the wanted backend at initialization time.
This requires some work in the build system, as well as the
initialization code, to remove duplicate functions that might cause
conflicts at build and link time. We also need to defer all the checks
of the internal state of the platform-specific API to run-time type
checks.
Previously, the Cogl backend was at times a subclass of the X11
backend, and at times a standalone one. Now it is the other way
round, with GDK and X11 backends providing the concrete classes,
layered on top of the generic Cogl backend. A new EglNative backend
was introduced for direct to framebuffer rendering. This greatly
simplifies the API design (at the expense of some casts needed)
and reduces the amount of #ifdefs, without duplicating code.

This commit introduces a new flavour for Clutter, that uses GDK
for handling all window system specific interactions (except for
creating the cogl context, as cogl does not know about GDK), including
in particular events. This is not compatible with the X11 (glx)
flavour, and this is reflected by the different soname (libclutter-gdk-1.0.so),
as all X11 specific functions and classes are not available. If you
wish to be compatible, you should check for CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11.
Other than that, this backend should be on feature parity with X11,
including XInput 2, XSettings and EMWH (with much, much less code)

If our check of the CoglOnscreenTemplate during initialization fails
then we disable the request for an alpha component in the swap chain and
try the check again.

Avoid double argument checking, and a deprecation warning when
implementing create() as a wrapper around create_region(), by using
a simple internal function.
The number of deprecations in clutter-main.h makes the header harder to
parse, and more confusing. We can use a separate header under the
deprecated subdirectory to hold all the deprecated symbols.
Since Xlib.h is such a terrible citizen when it comes to symbol
namespacing it's not desirable to include Xlib.h if it is not absolutely
required. Cogl now has a standalone cogl-xlib.h that should be included
whenever any xlib specific symbols are required.
This patch updates clutter to include <cogl/cogl-xlib.h> wherever
clutter needs to use xlib specific cogl apis.

We use an atexit() handler to print out the profile report coming from
Uprof. The g_atexit() call has been deprecated by GLib, but since this
use case is pretty specific and it's not meant to be turned on by
default (or distributed) then we can safely disable the deprecation
warnings inside clutter-profile.c.
The g_atexit() function has been deprecated in GLib as it is a fairly
bad idea in basically all cases.
We could probably use a GCC destructor if we didn't care about
portability, but for the time being we just remove the atexit() handler
that disposed the backend.
There are a couple of gotchas in the 'mapped' flag that are not properly
documented, or are documented only in the actor_invariants.txt file; we
should have a proper description in the API reference as well, to avoid
confusion.
Since the Windows GUI system is assuming multithreadedness, initializing
locks after entering the GUI portion on Windows is likely to cause
problems[1][2], which results many Clutter programs to crash due to
releasing resources that they did not own.
