Adds CoglError api Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis. One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl. This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly. If Cogl is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood. This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies in this case) Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn developers that are used to using the GError api. Reviewed-by: Neil Roberts <neil@linux.intel.com> (cherry picked from commit b068d5ea09ab32c37e8c965fc8582c85d1b2db46) Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError unless Cogl is built with glib disabled. Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for compatibility too. Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14 branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors. (GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.) The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.

Allow propogation of OOM errors to apps This allows apps to catch out-of-memory errors when allocating textures. Textures can be pretty huge at times and so it's quite possible for an application to try and allocate more memory than is available. It's also very possible that the application can take some action in response to reduce memory pressure (such as freeing up texture caches perhaps) so we shouldn't just automatically abort like we do for trivial heap allocations. These public functions now take a CoglError argument so applications can catch out of memory errors: cogl_buffer_map cogl_buffer_map_range cogl_buffer_set_data cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap cogl_pixel_buffer_new cogl_texture_new_from_data cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap Note: we've been quite conservative with how many apis we let throw OOM CoglErrors since we don't really want to put a burdon on developers to be checking for errors with every cogl api call. So long as there is some lower level api for apps to use that let them catch OOM errors for everything necessary that's enough and we don't have to make more convenient apis more awkward to use. The main focus is on bitmaps and texture allocations since they can be particularly large and prone to failing. A new cogl_attribute_buffer_new_with_size() function has been added in case developers need to catch OOM errors when allocating attribute buffers whereby they can first use _buffer_new_with_size() (which doesn't take a CoglError) followed by cogl_buffer_set_data() which will lazily allocate the buffer storage and report OOM errors. Reviewed-by: Neil Roberts <neil@linux.intel.com> (cherry picked from commit f7735e141ad537a253b02afa2a8238f96340b978) Note: since we can't break the API for Cogl 1.x then actually the main purpose of cherry picking this patch is to keep in-line with changes on the master branch so that we can easily cherry-pick patches. All the api changes relating stable apis released on the 1.12 branch have been reverted as part of cherry-picking this patch so this most just applies all the internal plumbing changes that enable us to correctly propagate OOM errors.

error: Don't allocate a new CoglError when propagating The _cogl_propagate_error() function takes ownership of the incoming error pointer so there's no need to allocate a new error when passing it on.
