Renames the mesh api to the "vertex buffer api". This better reflects the fact that the api manages sets of vertex attributes, and the attributes really have no implied form. It is only when you use the attributes to draw that they become mesh like; when you specify how they should be interpreted, e.g. as triangle lists or fans etc. This rename frees up the term "mesh", which can later be applied to a concept slightly more fitting. E.g. at some point it would be nice to have a higher level abstraction that sits on top of cogl vertex buffers that adds the concept of faces. (Somthing like Blender's mesh objects.) There have also been some discussions over particle engines, and these can be defined in terms of emitter faces; so some other kind of mesh abstraction might be usefull here.

[cogl-handle] Optimize how we define cogl handles The cogl_is_* functions were showing up quite high on profiles due to iterating through arrays of cogl handles. This does away with all the handle arrays and implements a simple struct inheritance scheme. All cogl objects now add a CoglHandleObject _parent; member to their main structures. The base object includes 2 members a.t.m; a ref_count, and a klass pointer. The klass in turn gives you a type and virtual function for freeing objects of that type. Each handle type has a _cogl_##handle_type##_get_type () function automatically defined which returns a GQuark of the handle type, so now implementing the cogl_is_* funcs is just a case of comparing with obj->klass->type. Another outcome of the re-work is that cogl_handle_{ref,unref} are also much more efficient, and no longer need extending for each handle type added to cogl. The cogl_##handle_type##_{ref,unref} functions are now deprecated and are no longer used internally to Clutter or Cogl. Potentially we can remove them completely before 1.0.

cogl: improves header and coding style consistency We've had complaints that our Cogl code/headers are a bit "special" so this is a first pass at tidying things up by giving them some consistency. These changes are all consistent with how new code in Cogl is being written, but the style isn't consistently applied across all code yet. There are two parts to this patch; but since each one required a large amount of effort to maintain tidy indenting it made sense to combine the changes to reduce the time spent re indenting the same lines. The first change is to use a consistent style for declaring function prototypes in headers. Cogl headers now consistently use this style for prototypes: return_type cogl_function_name (CoglType arg0, CoglType arg1); Not everyone likes this style, but it seems that most of the currently active Cogl developers agree on it. The second change is to constrain the use of redundant glib data types in Cogl. Uses of gint, guint, gfloat, glong, gulong and gchar have all been replaced with int, unsigned int, float, long, unsigned long and char respectively. When talking about pixel data; use of guchar has been replaced with guint8, otherwise unsigned char can be used. The glib types that we continue to use for portability are gboolean, gint{8,16,32,64}, guint{8,16,32,64} and gsize. The general intention is that Cogl should look palatable to the widest range of C programmers including those outside the Gnome community so - especially for the public API - we want to minimize the number of foreign looking typedefs.

Use GL_QUADS for flushing a quad batch Instead of using GL_TRIANGLES and uploading the indices every time, it now uses GL_QUADS instead on OpenGL. Under GLES it still uses indices but it uses the new cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_get_for_quads function to avoid uploading the vertices every time. This requires the _cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_pointer_from_handle function to be exposed privately to the rest of Cogl. The static_indices array has been removed from the Cogl context.
