The glx and egl(x) backends export some internal symbols. Hide these
symbols (using '_' prefix) to reduce ABI differentiation between the
glx and eglx flavours.

If we have the GLX_SGI_video_sync extension then it's possible to always
keep track for the video sync counter each time we call glXSwapBuffers
or do a sub stage blit. This then allows us to avoid waiting before
issuing a blit if we can see that the counter has already progressed.
Also since we expect that glXCopySubBuffer is synchronized to the vblank
we don't need to use glFinish () in conjunction with the vblank wait
since the vblank wait's only purpose is to add a delay.
Currently glXCopySubBufferMESA is used for sub stage redraws, but in case
a driver does not support GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer we fall back to redrawing
the complete stage which isn't really optimal.
So instead to directly fallback to complete redraws try using GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit
to do the BACK to FRONT buffer copies.

A new (internal only currently) API, _clutter_actor_queue_clipped_redraw
can be used to queue a redraw along with a clip rectangle in actor
coordinates. This clip rectangle propagates up to the stage and clutter
backend which may optionally use the information to optimize stage
redraws. The GLX backend in particular may scissor the next redraw to
the clip rectangle and use GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer to present the stage
subregion.
The intention is that any actors that can naturally determine the bounds
of updates should queue clipped redraws to reduce the cost of updating
small regions of the screen.
Notes:
» If GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer isn't available then the GLX backend
ignores any clip rectangles.
» queuing multiple clipped redraws will result in the bounding box of
each clip rectangle being used.
» If a clipped redraw has a height > 300 pixels then it's promoted into
a full stage redraw, so that the GPU doesn't end up blocking too long
waiting for the vsync to reach the optimal position to avoid tearing.
» Note: no empirical data was used to come up with this threshold so
we may need to tune this.
» Currently only ClutterX11TexturePixmap makes use of this new API. This
is done via a new "queue-damage-redraw" signal that is emitted when
the pixmap is updated. The default handler queues a clipped redraw
with the assumption that the pixmap is being painted as a rectangle
covering the actors transformed allocation. If you subclass
ClutterX11TexturePixmap and change how it's painted you now also
need to override the signal handler and queue your own redraw.
Technically this is a semantic break, but it's assumed that no one
is currently doing this.
This still leaves a few unsolved issues with regards to optimizing sub
stage redraws that need to be addressed in further work so this can only
be considered a stepping stone a this point:
» Because we have no reliable way to determine if the painting of any
given actor is being modified any optimizations implemented using
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip must be overridable by a
subclass, and technically must be opt-in for existing classes to avoid
a change in semantics. E.g. consider that a user connects to the paint
signal for ClutterTexture and paints a circle instead of a rectangle.
In this case any original logic to queue clipped redraws would be
incorrect.
» Currently only the implementation of an actor has enough information
with which to queue clipped redraws. E.g. It is not possible for
generic code in clutter-actor.c to queue a clipped redraw when hiding
an actor because actors have no way to report a "paint box". (remember
actors can draw outside their allocation and actors with depth may
also be projected outside of their allocation)
» The current plan is to add a actor_class->get_paint_cuboid()
virtual so actors can report a bounding cube for everything they
would draw in their current state and use that to queue clipped
redraws against the stage by projecting the paint cube into stage
coordinates.
» Our heuristics for promoting clipped redraws into full redraws to
avoid blocking the GPU while we wait for the vsync need improving:
» vsync issues aren't relevant for redirected/composited applications
so they should use different heuristics. In this case we instead
need to trade off the cost of blitting when using glXCopySubBuffer
vs promoting to a full redraw and flipping instead.
Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug
report tool.

If your OpenGL driver supports GLX_INTEL_swap_event that means when
glXSwapBuffers is called it returns immediatly and an XEvent is sent when
the actual swap has finished.
Clutter can use the events that notify swap completion as a means to
throttle rendering in the master clock without blocking the CPU and so it
should help improve the performance of CPU bound applications.
Some extensions only support GLX versions > 1.3 and may not support
old style X Windows as GLXDrawables, so we now create GLXWindows for
stages when possible.
Since we must guarantee that Cogl has a GL context to query, it is too
late to use the "dummy Window" trick from within the get_features()
virtual function implementation.
Instead, we can create a dummy Window from create_context() itself and
leave it around - basically trading a default stage with a dummy X
window.
We need to have the dummy X window around all the time so that the
GLX context can be selected and made current.
When Clutter tries to pick an ARGB visual it tried to set the
GLX_TRANSPARENT_TYPE attribute of the FBConfig to
GLX_TRANSPARENT_RGB. However the code to do this was broken so that it
was actually trying to set the non-existant attribute number 0x8008
instead. Mesa silently ignored this so it appeared as if it was
working but the Nvidia drivers do not like it.
It appears that the TRANSPARENT_TYPE attribute is not neccessary for
getting an ARGB visual anyway and instead it is intended to support
color-key transparency. Therefore we can just remove it and get all of
the FBConfigs. Then if we need an ARGB visual we can just walk the
list to look for one with depth == 32.
The fbconfig is now stored in a single variable instead of having a
separate variable for the rgb and rgba configs because the old code
only ever retrieved one of them anyway.
When requesting the GLXFBConfig for creating the GLX context, we should
always request one that links to an ARGB visual instead of a plain RGB
one.
By using an ARGB visual we allow the ClutterStage:use-alpha property to
work as intended when running Clutter under a compositing manager.
The default behaviour of requesting an ARGB visual can be disabled by
using the:
CLUTTER_DISABLE_ARGB_VISUAL
Environment variable.
