Add the ability to add tracing instrumentation to the code. When
enabled, trace entries will generate a file with timing information
that will be processable by sysprof for generating visualization of
traces over time.
While enabled by default at compile time, it is possible to disable the
expansion of the macros completely by passing --disable-tracing to
./configure.
Tracing is so far only actually done if actually enabled on explicitly
specified threads.
This will be used by Mutter passing the write end of a pipe, where the
read end is sent to Sysprof itself via the D-Bus method 'Capture()'.
By passing that, we have to detect EPIPE that is sent when Sysprof stops
recording. Fortunately, we already ignore the signal at meta_init(), so
no need to add a custom signal handler.

Add debug flags based on meson's `debug` option instead of `buildtype`.
This allows custom build configurations to behave like a debug or release build.
Add `-fno-omit-frame-pointer` to Mutter/Cogl. Not to Clutter though, as that would
require more changes to how Clutter's gir is created
Remove `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` from Clutter in debug builds
Add `-DG_DISABLE_CHECKS`, `-DG_DISABLE_ASSERT` and `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` to all
non-debug builds but `plain`, which explicitly should not have any compile flags
Use `cc.get_supported_arguments`, so it becomes more obvious to the user which flags
are set during compilation

We've been using configure_file's `install` property for some time now, but this
has been officially supported and works as expected only since meson 0.50, so,
bump version to avoid warnings and ensure the behavior is the one we want.

Pango functions pango_unichar_direction() and pango_find_base_dir() have been
deprecated in pango 1.44, since these are used mostly clutter and gtk, copy the
code from pango and use fribidi dependency explicitly.
This is the same strategy used by Gtk.

Clutter exports symbols explicitly using `CLUTTER_EXPORT`, so everything should
be hidden by default, unless exposed.
Usage of `gnu_symbol_visibility` needs a version bump to meson 0.48.0

cogl-path uses types from glu.h, but to avoid a build dependency on glu,
it kept a minified copy of glu.h in tree. Drop this file and just use
the actual glu.h. To avoid linking to libGLU.so, just use the
includepath, instead of actually adding glu as a real dependency.
This means we can remove an includepath meant to make it possible to
include <GL/glu.h>.
The 'cursor-mode', which currently is limited to RecordMonitor(), allows
the user to either do screen casts where the cursor is hidden, embedded
in the framebuffer, or sent as PipeWire stream metadata.
The latter allows the user to get cursor updates sent, including the
cursor sprite, without requiring a stage paint each frame. Currently
this is done by using the cursor sprite texture, and either reading
directly from, or drawing to an offscreen framebuffer which is read from
instead, in case the texture is scaled.

If a library is provided in the positional arguments, then meson
defaults to installing the .pc file in a 'pkgconfig' subdirectory
in the library's install location. We want the files in the regular
$libdir/pkgconfig rather than $libdir/mutter-$api/pkgconfig, so
specify the location explicitly in the parameters.

This makes the build less verbose, as all .gir generation except for
clutters didn't pass --quiet to g-ir-scanner, making it output long
linking commands. Do this by adding a common introspection_args
variable.
While at it, put -U_GNU_SOURCE in there too, as it was always passed
everywhere as without it the scanner would log warnings.
This is the last remaining feature necessary to achieve
parity with the Autotools build.
A few changes were made to the install locations of the
tests, in order to better acomodate them in Meson:
* Tests are now installed under a versioned folder (e.g.
/usr/share/installed-tests/mutter-4)
* The mutter-cogl.test file is now generated from an .in
file, instead of a series of $(echo)s from within Makefile.
Notice that those tests need very controlled environments
to run correctly. Mutter installed tests, for example, will
failed when running under a regular session due to D-Bus
failing to acquire the ScreenCast and/or RemoteScreen names.
It cuts out some of the GObject boilerplate, and gives us g_autoptr()
support for free.
Since this changes the ABI, we also need to bump the libmutter API
version.
gudev and libudev might have different versions, and
since 361bf847 we require gudev >= 232 to be able to
use g_autoptr with gudev types.
Since the previous commit, however, the meson build
was using the same version for libudev and gudev.
Fix that by requiring different versions for gudev
(>= 232) and libudev (>= 228).
Continuous' latest udev version is 228, and that is
not going to change too soon. Since we do not depend
on udev 232 specific features or bugfixes, just lower
the minimum version and make Continouos happy.
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.
There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:
The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.
The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.
Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
