Instead of creating a separate thread for each texture load, the loads
are now queued in a thread pool which will use at most 3 textures at a
time. This avoids the potentially large overhead of creating and
destroying a thread for every image while still avoiding throttling
the CPU if a large number of textures are loaded at the same time.
If the load is cancelled the old code needed to join the thread which
effectively meant it had to wait for the load to finish. With this
model the threads are owned by the thread pool so there is no need to
wait for them to finish. Instead, each thread is given its own thread
data which we can use to mark the thread as aborted. Once the load is
finished the thread will check whether it is aborted before setting
the texture data. That way the ClutterTexture can just disown threads
that it needs to cancel.
The duration in ClutterMedia is currently expressed in integer multiples
of a second. This does not offer enough granularity for media playback
that has fractionary durations -- 2.3 seconds; 1 minute, 23.4 seconds;
1 hour, 23 minutes, 4.5 seconds; etc.
The duration value should be expressed in seconds with a sub-second
granularity; for this reason, a double should be used insted of an
unsigned integer.
The semantics haven't changed: the :duration property still exposes
seconds.

Bug 1473 - CoglPixelFormat enum data must be declared static
When registering an enumeration GType, the GEnumValue or GFlagsValue
arrays must be declared static; otherwise, you get a segmentation
fault when calling the function again.

Instead of using a fixed size array for storing the scenegraph sub-node
during event delivery we should use a GPtrArray. The benefits are:
- a smaller allocation
- no undocumented yet binding constraint on the scenegraph size
The environment variable to disable mipmapping should also be
a command line switch, and be handled like the rest of Clutter's
environment variables/command line switches.
The ClutterFixed type and symbols are now equivalent to the native
float type. In order to remove ambiguity and clean up the code, any
usage of ClutterFixed and relative macros has been removed.
Clutter is able to show debug messages written using the CLUTTER_NOTE()
macro at runtime, either by using an environment variable:
CLUTTER_DEBUG=...
or by using a command line switch:
--clutter-debug=...
--clutter-no-debug=...
Both are parsed during the initialization process by using the
GOption API.
COGL would benefit from having the same support.
In order to do this, we need a cogl_get_option_group() function in
COGL that sets up a GOptionGroup for COGL and adds a pre-parse hook
that will check the COGL_DEBUG environment variable. The OptionGroup
will also install two command line switches:
--cogl-debug
--cogl-no-debug
With the same semantics of the Clutter ones.
During Clutter initialization, the COGL option group will be attached
to the GOptionContext used to parse the command line options passed
to a Clutter application.
Every debug message written using:
COGL_NOTE (SECTION, "message format", arguments);
Will then be printed only if SECTION was enabled at runtime.
This whole machinery, like the equivalent one in Clutter, depends on
a compile time switch, COGL_ENABLE_DEBUG, which is enabled at the same
time as CLUTTER_ENABLE_DEBUG. Having two different symbols allows
greater granularity.
Mipmapped text is enabled by default in Clutter but it can cause
problems on some drivers so it is convenient to have an environment
variable to disable it for all apps.
An assert to verify there was no error when generating a buffer object
for the vertex buffer API was being hit when running the GLES1 conformance
tests.
Bug #1457 - Creating a new texture messes up the cogl material state
cache; reported by Neil Roberts
We still don't have caching of bound texture state so we always have to
re-bind the texture when flushing the GL state of any material layers.
Bug #1460 - Handling of flags in cogl_material_set_color
Cogl automatically enables/disables blending based on whether the source color
has an alhpa < 1.0, or if any textures with an alpha component are in use, but
it wasn't doing it quite right.
At the same time I removed some of the dirty flags which on second thought
are nothing more than micro-optimsations that only helped clutter the code.
thanks to Owen Taylor for reporting the bug
Since the CoglMatrix type was added for supporting texture matrices recently
it made sense to be consistent accross the Cogl API and use the Cogl type
over the GL style GLfloat m[16] arrays.
The INCLUDES directive should only contain pre-processor flags, since
we're passing it also to the introspection scanner.
Using AM_CFLAGS for compiler flags, like debug flags and maintainer
flags, is more indicated.
Bug 1442 - multistage, same-window resize events invalidate stage
When ensuring that the GL context is attached to the correct
ClutterStage we need to set the SYNC_MATRICES flag on the stage
itself. This is needed in case the size of the new stage does
not match the size of the old -- thus requiring a call to
glViewport() when the paint cycle starts.
cogl_wrap_glActiveTexture needs to call the GL version of
glActiveTexture otherwise the subsequent calls to glBindTexture will
all be using texture unit 0. This fixes test-cogl-multitexture.
Previously the texture unit settings were stored in growable GArrays
and every time a new texture unit was encountered it would expand the
arrays. However the array wasn't copied when stored in a
CoglGles2WrapperSettings struct so all settings had the same
array. This meant that it wouldn't detect that a different program is
needed if a texture unit is disabled or enabled.
The texture unit settings arrays are all now a fixed size and the
enabledness of each unit is stored in a bit mask. Therefore the
settings can just be copied around by assignment as before.
This puts a limit on the number of texture units accessible by Cogl
but I think it is worth it to make the code simpler and more
efficient. The material API already poses a limit on the number of
texture units it can use.
configure.ac: Check for gobject-introspection
build/introspection.m4: Include the file that defines the
GOBJECT_CHECK_INTROSPECTION m4 macro in case we want to disable
the introspection data generation.
clutter/json/Makefile.am: Build the .gir for "ClutterJson"
(json-glib as part of the Clutter library)
clutter/Makefile.am: Build the .gir for clutter, compile the
Clutter and ClutterJson girs into typelibs, and install them.
Also move GCC_FLAGS from $(INCLUDES) to $(AM_CFLAGS) since it includes
non-preprocessor flag like -Wall.

and so forth to the doc comments as appropriate.
The annotations added here are a combination of the annotations previously
in gir-repository for Clutter and annotations found in a review of all

Bug 1464 - clutter_timeline_list_markers should set n_markers=0 when
there are no markers
If no markers are registered and we bail out we should also set the
n_markers out parameter to 0 so that code checking the number of
markers will still work.
Bug 1465 - clutter_path_parse_description should check p==NULL
When accepting a stringified path description, ClutterPath methods
and the parser should not accept NULL or empty strings.
Bug 1463 - clutter_color_lighten(darken) unexpected because of
ClutterFixed=>float
These two functions contained ClutterFixed constants represented as
integers which are no longer valid since the cogl-float branch
merge. They are now converted to ClutterFixed from float constants
using CLUTTER_FLOAT_TO_FIXED (which is now a no-op).
Thanks to Zhang Wei for reporting.
This causes clutter to skip all the GL work of state changes and
texturing if the opacity was 0. This is done in ClutterTexture and not
ClutterActor to ensure that pre and post paint signals work correctly.
Other expensive actors should be doing the same thing.
The call to "cmp" to compare a built file with its current version
should use the -s (silent) command line switch. This avoids a ugly
message on the console when building Clutter the first time.
When setting the COGL texture handle for a ClutterTexture the
texture will be set as the first layer of the material used
by the ClutterTexture. The documentation should clarify this
point.
The :texture and :material properties of ClutterTexture use a
Clutter-provided GType shielding from CoglHandle. Since CoglHandle
now has a GType we can use COGL_TYPE_HANDLE instead.
This commit also removes the conditional compilation of the
:material property, as it makes little sense now that the
Materials API has landed.
COGL types should be registered inside the GType system, for
bindings and type checking inside properties and signals.
CoglHandle is a boxed type with a ref+unref semantics; slightly evil
from a bindings perspective (we cannot associate custom data to it),
but better than nothing.
The rest of the exposed types are enumerations or bitmasks.
The COGL_DEFINE_HANDLE macro generates a cogl_is_<type> function
as well, to check whether a CoglHandle opaque pointer is of type
<type>.
The handle for CoglMaterial does not export cogl_is_material() in
its installed header.
The rotation angle calculated in clutter_behaviour_rotate_alpha_notify
gets applied to each actor using clutter_behaviour_actors_foreach. The
angle is a ClutterFixed value. Before the cogl float branch merge it
was stuffed into a gpointer using GPOINTER_TO_UINT. The pointer was
then converted back to a uint and cast to a ClutterFixed which worked
out fine even for negative numbers.
After the cogl-float merge the angle is effectively a gfloat. This
gets cast to a uint and stored in a pointer and converted back to a
float via a uint at the other end. However this fails for negative
numbers because a uint -> float conversion can't take advantage of
overflow to preserve the sign so you end up with a large number.
It also had the side effect that it only rotated in whole degrees.
This commit fixes the problem by just passing the ClutterFixed value
inside a closure struct instead of trying to stuff it into a pointer.
Bug 1167 - clutter_effect_rotate improperly clamps negative angles
The rotation angle properties had a minimum value of 0.0 but the
rotation works fine with a negative value so the limitation is
unnecessary. This makes rotation using the ClutterAnimation API more
flexible because it was previously not possible to rotate
counter-clockwise from the 0.0 position.
When rendering a clone before this commit the clone's opacity was
combined with the opacity of the source but this is not usually the
desired effect. Instead the clone's opacity (combined with its
parents) should completely override the opacity of the source.
cogl_paint_init was a bit too miscellaneous; it mainly cleared the color, depth
and stencil buffers but arbitrarily it also disabled fogging and lighting.
It no longer disables lighting, since we know Cogl never enables lighting and
disabling of fog is now handled with a seperate function.
Since I noticed cogl_set_fog was taking a density argument documented as
"Ignored" I've also added a mode argument to cogl_set_fog which exposes the
exponential fog modes which can make use of the density.
Bug #1453 - Asynchronous texture loading can starve cpu.
Add a mutex that is held in the loader threads during the image
decoding. We were spawning and starting a thread for each asynchronously
loaded texture. This can cause cpu / memory starvation when many pixbuf
loaders allocate their temporary memory at the same time.
Also added -fno-strict-aliasing to MAINTAINER_CFLAGS in configure.ac
to avoid incorrect warnings caused by the static mutex code.
The clutter_get_current_event_time() function will return the event
timestamp coming from a Clutter event. Clutter might synthesize or
throttle events, so the function cannot be used when dealing with
backend-specific use cases.
The X11 backend is the only backend supported by Clutter that makes
use of timestamps, so it's altogether fitting that it should come
with a specific function to deal with the timestamps of the X events.
