Since we allow compiling Clutter without the XComposite extension
available, we need to protect the calls to the XComposite API with
the guards provided by the configure script.
Currently, the memory management in ClutterScript is overly complicated.
The basic design tenet should be:
- ClutterScript owns a reference on every object it creates
This allows the Script instance to reliably handle the lifetime of the
instances from creation to disposal.
In case of unmerge, the Script instance should destroy any Actor
instance, except for the Stage, and release the reference it owns. The
Stage is special because it's really owned by Clutter itself, and it
should be destroyed explicitly.
When disposing the Script itself, it should just release the reference;
any parented actor, or any InitiallyUnowned instance, will then be
managed by the parent object, as they should, while every GObject
instance will go away, as documented.

Henrik Hedberg <hhedberg@innologies.fi>
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2316
By using a new signal, ::create-surface (width, height), it should be
possible for third party code and sub-classes to override the default
surface creation code in CairoSurface.
This commit takes a bit of the patch from:
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1878
which cleans up CairoTexture; the idea, mutuated from that bug, is that
the CairoTexture actor checks whether the surface it has it's an image
one, and in that case it uses a Cogl texture as the backing store. In
case the surface is not an image one we assume that the surface itself
has some way of updating the GL state and flush the surface.
Always use pageflipping, but avoid full repaint by copying back dirty
regions from front to back. Additionally, we dealy copying back until
we're ready to paint the new frame, so we can avoid copying areas that
will be repainted anyway.
This is the least amount of copying per frame we can get away with at all
and at the same time we don't have to worry about stalling the GPU on
synchronized blits since we always pageflip.
When we don't use a window system drawable, we can't query the color
masks at context initialization time. Do it lazily so we're sure to have
a current context with a valid framebuffer.
We need to make sure that redraws queued for actors on a stage are for
actors actually in the stage. So in clutter_actor_unparent() descend
through the children and remove redraws. Just removing the actor itself
isn't good enough since an entire hierarchy can be removed from the
stage without breaking it up into individual actors.

This is based on an original patch from Owen Taylor who debugged the
root cause of this bug; thanks.
In the case that an unclipped redraw of an actor is queued after a
clipped we should update any existing ClutterStageQueueRedrawEntry
so entry->has_clip = FALSE and free the previous clip.
Instead of using the allocation-changed signal, use the queue-relayout
signal on the source to queue a relayout on the actor to which the
BindConstraint has been attached to.
The ::allocation-changed signal is not always enough, given that a
BindConstraint can use the position as well as the size of an actor to
drive the allocation of another; in this regard, it's much similar
to a ClutterClone, which requires a notification on every change, even
potential, and not just real ones, given the short-circuiting done
inside ClutterActor.
Instead of delegating the check for the ActorMeta:enabled property to
the sub-classes of ClutterActorMeta, ClutterActor can do the check prior
to using the ClutterActorMeta instances.
The interpolate() method does what it says on the tin: it interpolates
between two colors using the given factor.
ClutterColor uses it to register a progress function for Intervals.
When picking a size for the last slice in a texture, Cogl would always
pick the biggest power of two size that doesn't create too much
waste and is less than or equal to the previous slice size. However
this can end up creating a texture that is bigger than needed if there
is a smaller power of two.
For example, if the maximum waste is 127 (the current default) and we
try to create a texture that is 257 pixels wide it will decide that
the next power of two (512) is too much waste (255) so it will create
the first slice at 256 pixels wide. Then we only have 1 pixel left to
allocate but Cogl would pick the next smaller size that has a small
enough waste which is 128. But of course 1 is already a power of two
so that's redundantly oversized by 127.
This patch fixes it so that whenever it finds a size that would be big
enough, instead of using exactly that it picks the next power of two
up from the size we need to fill.

A Clone:source property might be NULL, and we should not penalize
performance when we can just bail out early, because that would kind of
defeat the point.
Whenever the allocation is changed on a child of a ClutterTableLayout
and animations are not in effect then it would store a copy of the
allocation in the child meta data. However it was not freeing the old
copy of the allocation so it would end up with a small leak.
Instead of just changing it to free the old value this patch makes it
store the allocation inline in the meta data struct because it seems
that the size of an actor box is already quite small compared to the
size of the meta data struct so it is probably not worth having a
separate allocation for it. To detect the case when there has not yet
been an allocation a separate boolean is used instead of storing NULL.

All the nifty things you discover when translating strings not exposed
to anyone. First the clutter-wide record of the number of typos in one
string. Second, ClutterTexture happened to have the only property blurbs
ending with a '.', remove them.
the "position" property of ClutterText is really the position of the
cursor. Rename the nick accordingly not to confuse it with the position
of the actor itself and be consistent with all the other cursor-related
properties.
The descriptions for the 'y-align' and 'x-align' properties talk about a
layer and a layer manager. It seems that these properties are the
alignement factors relative to the BinLayout, so document them
accordingly.
There are ordering issues in the pixmap destruction with current and
past X11 server, Mesa and dri2. Under some circumstances, an X pixmap
might be destroyed with the GLX pixmap still referencing it, and thus
the X server will decide to destroy the GLX pixmap as well; then, when
Cogl tries to destroy the GLX pixmap, it gets BadDrawable errors.
Clutter 1.2 used to trap + sync all calls to glXDestroyPixmap(), but
then we assumed that the ordering issue had been solved. So, we're back
to square 1.
I left a Big Fat Comment™ right above the glXDestroyPixmap() call
referencing the bug and the reasoning behind the trap, so that we don't
go and remove it in the future without checking that the issue has been
in fact solved.

After commit 8dd8fbdb some errors appear if you try work directly
against cally:
* cally.pc.in removed some elements. After install clutter, doing
pkg-config --cflags cally-1.0
fails due missing winsys
* cally headers were moved from clutter-1.0/cally to
clutter-1.0/clutter/cally. Applications using it (yes I know,
nobody is officially using it) would require to:
* Change their include.
* Add directly a dependency to cally, in order to use the cally.pc
file with the correct directory include.
Note: Take into account that accessibility support still works (ie:
clutter_get_accessibility_enabled). This bug only prevents
applications to work directly against cally (ie: create a CallyActor
subclass)

Landing the paint-box branch accidentally added two slots to the
ClutterEffectClass vtable, plus the get_paint_volume() function
pointer. This is an ABI break from 1.4.
Like we do for the Quartz backend, we should turn on the -xobjective-c
compiler flag for the Fruity backend.
This does not mean that the backend actually works.
The marshaller was defined as OBJECT,OBJECT,PARAM but the signal
definition used only two arguments. Since the signal never worked
and we never got any report about it, nobody could be possibly
using the ::child-notify signal.
Since we added child properties to the Container interface we made a
guarantee that the ::child-notify signal would be emitted whenever a
property was set using clutter_container_child_set*().
We were lying.
The child_notify virtual function was not implemented, and the signal
was never emitted.
We also used a G_LIKELY() macro while checking for non-NULL on a
function pointer that was by default set to NULL, thus making the
setting of child properties far less efficient than needed.
The clutter stage has a list of entries of actors waiting to be redrawn.
Each entry has a "clip" ClutterPaintVolume member which represents which
how much of the actor needs to get redrawn. It's possible for there to
be no clip associated with the entry. In this case, the clip member is
invalid, the has_clip member should be set to false.
This commit fixes a bug where the has_clip member was not being
initially, explicitly set to false for new entries, and not being
explicitly set to false in the event the clip associated with the entry
is freed.

In all the changes made recently to how we handle redraws and adding
support for paint-volumes we stopped looking at explicit clip regions
passed to _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip.
In _clutter_actor_finish_queue_redraw we had started always trying to
clip the redraw to the paint-volume of the actor, but forgot to consider
that the user may have already determined the clip region for us!
Now we first check if the given clip != NUll and if so we don't need to
calculate the paint-volume of the actor.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2349
One of the later changes made on the paint volume branch before merging
with master was to make paint volumes opt in only since we couldn't make
any safe assumptions about how custom actors may constrain their
painting. We added very conservative implementations for the existing
Clutter actors - including for ClutterTexture which
ClutterX11TexturePixmap is a sub-class of - but we were conservative to
the extent of explicitly checking the GType of the actor so we would
avoid making any assumptions about sub-classes. The upshot was that we
neglected to implement the get_paint_volume vfunc for
ClutterX11TexturePixmap.
This patch provides an implementation that simply reports the actor's
allocation as its paint volume. Also unlike for other core actors it
doesn't explicitly check the GType so we are assuming that all existing
sub-classes of ClutterX11TexturePixmap constrain their drawing to the
actor's transformed allocation. If anyone does want to draw outside the
allocation in future sub-classes, then they should also provide an
updated get_paint_volume implementation.

When using the debug function _cogl_debug_dump_materials_dot_file to
write a dot file representing the sparse graph of material state we now
only show a link between materials and layers when the material directly
owns that layer reference (i.e. just those referenced in
material->layer_differences) This makes it possible to see when
ancestors of a material are being deferred too for layer state.
For example when looking at the graph if you see that a material has an
n_layers of 3 but there is only a link to 2 layers, then you know you
need to look at it's ancestors to find the last layer.
In 4ee05f8e21 the namespace for the clutter keysym macros were
changed to CLUTTER_KEY_* but the win32 events backend was still
referring to the old names.
GObject ≥ 2.26.0 added a nice convenience call for installing properties
from an array of GParamSpec. Since we're already storing all GParamSpec
in an array in order to use them with g_object_notify_by_pspec(), this
turns out nicely for us.
Since we do not depend on GLib 2.26 (yet), we need to provide a simple
private wrapper that implements the fall back to the default
g_object_class_install_property() call.
ClutterDragAction has been converted as a proof of concept.
During destruction, the StageWindow implementation associated to a Stage
might be NULL. We need to add more checks for a) the IN_DESTRUCTION flag
being set and b) the StageWindow pointer being NULL. Otherwise, we will
get warnings during the destruction of the Stage.
Both of the cogl_texture_2d_sliced_new functions called the
slices_create function which creates the underlying GL
textures. However this was also called by init_base so the textures
would end up being created twice. This would make it leak the GL
textures and the arrays which point to them.
The internal copy of JSON-GLib was meant to go away right after the 1.0
release, given that JSON-GLib was still young and relatively unknown.
Nowadays, many projects started depending on this little library, and
distributions ship it and keep it up to date.
Keeping a copy of JSON-GLib means keeping it up to date; unfortunately,
this would also imply updating the code not just for the API but for the
internal implementations.
Starting with the 1.2 release, Clutter preferably dependend on the
system copy; with the 1.4 release we stopped falling back automatically.
The 1.6 cycle finally removes the internal copy and requires a copy of
JSON-GLib installed on the target system in order to compile Clutter.
Since re-working how redraws are queued it is no longer necessary to
dirty the pick buffer in _clutter_actor_real_queue_redraw since this
should now reliably be handled in _clutter_stage_queue_actor_redraw.
This adds two internal functions relating to explicit traversal of the
scenegraph:
_clutter_actor_foreach_child
_clutter_actor_traverse
_clutter_actor_foreach_child just iterates the immediate children of an
actor, and with a new ClutterForeachCallback type it allows the
callbacks to break iteration early.
_clutter_actor_traverse traverses the given actor and all of its
decendants. Again traversal can be stopped early if a callback returns
FALSE.
The first intended use for _clutter_actor_traverse is to maintain a
cache pointer to the stage for all actors. In this case we will need to
update the pointer for all descendants of an actor when an actor is
reparented in any way.
This adds a private getter to query the number of children an actor has.
One use planned for this API is to avoid calling get_paint_volume on
such actors. (It's not clear what the best semantics for
get_paint_volume are for actors with children, so we are considering
leaving the semantics undefined for the initial clutter 1.4 release)
We now explicitly track the list of children each actor has in a private
GList. This gives us a reliable way to know how many children an actor
has - even for composite actors that don't implement the container
interface. This also will allow us to directly traverse the scenegraph
in a more generalized fashion. Previously the scenegraph was
more-or-less represented implicitly according the implementation of
paint methods.
When using the CLUTTER_PAINT=paint-volumes debug option we try and show
when a paint volume couldn't be determined by drawing a blue outline of
the allocation instead. There was a typo though and instead we were
drawing an outline the size of the stage instead of for the given actor.
This fixes that and removes a FIXME comment relating to the blue outline
that is now implemented.
To allow Clutter to queue clipped redraws when a clone actor changes we
need to be able to report a paint volume for clone actors. This patch
makes ClutterClones query the paint volume of their source actor and
masquerade it as their own volume.
This reverts commit ca44c6a7d8abe9f2c548bee817559ea8adaa7a80.
In reality there are probably lots of actors that depend on the exact
semantics as they are documented so this change isn't really acceptable.
For example when the font changes in ClutterText we only queue a
relayout, and since it's possible that the font will have the same size
and the actor won't get a new allocation it wouldn't otherwise queue a
redraw.
Since queue_redraw requests now get deferred until just before a paint
run it is actually no longer a problem to queue the redraw here.
Instead of immediately, recursively emitting the "queue-redraw" signal
when clutter_actor_queue_redraw is called we now defer this process
until all stage updates are complete. This allows us to aggregate
repeated _queue_redraw requests for the same actor avoiding redundant
paint volume transformations. By deferring we also increase the
likelihood that the actor will have a valid paint volume since it will
have an up to date allocation; this in turn means we will more often be
able to automatically queue clipped redraws which can have a big impact
on performance.
Here's an outline of the actor queue redraw mechanism:
The process starts in clutter_actor_queue_redraw or
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip.
These functions queue an entry in a list associated with the stage which
is a list of actors that queued a redraw while updating the timelines,
performing layouting and processing other mainloop sources before the
next paint starts.
We aim to minimize the processing done at this point because there is a
good chance other events will happen while updating the scenegraph that
would invalidate any expensive work we might otherwise try to do here.
For example we don't try and resolve the screen space bounding box of an
actor at this stage so as to minimize how much of the screen redraw
because it's possible something else will happen which will force a full
redraw anyway.
When all updates are complete and we come to paint the stage (see
_clutter_stage_do_update) then we iterate this list and actually emit
the "queue-redraw" signals for each of the listed actors which will
bubble up to the stage for each actor and at that point we will
transform the actors paint volume into screen coordinates to determine
the clip region for what needs to be redrawn in the next paint.
Note: actors are allowed to queue a redraw in reseponse to a
queue-redraw signal so we repeat the processing of the list until it
remains empty. An example of when this happens is for Clone actors or
clutter_texture_new_from_actor actors which need to queue a redraw if
their source queues a redraw.
For Clone actors we will need a way to report the volume of the source
actor as the volume of the clone actor. To make this work though we need
to be able to replace the reference to the source actor with a reference
to the clone actor instead. This adds a private
_clutter_paint_volume_set_reference_actor function to do that.
This adds a way to initialize a paint volume from another source paint
volume. This lets us for instance pass the contents of one paint volume
back through the out param of a get_paint_volume implementation.
This makes clutter_actor_queue_redraw simply bail out early if the actor
isn't a descendant of a ClutterStage since the request isn't meaningful
and it avoids a crash when trying to queue a clipped redraw against the
stage to clear the actors old location.
This splits out all the clutter_paint_volume code from clutter-actor.c
into clutter-paint-volume.c. Since clutter-actor.c and
clutter-paint-volume.c both needed the functionality of
_fully_transform_vertices, this function has now been moved to
clutter-utils.c as _clutter_util_fully_transform_vertices.
There are too many examples where the default assumption that an actor
paints inside its allocation isn't true, so we now return FALSE in the
base implementation instead. This means that by default we are saying
"we don't know the paint volume of the actor", so developers need to
implement the get_paint_volume virtual to take advantage of culling and
clipped redraws with their actors.
This patch provides very conservative get_paint_volume implementations
for ClutterTexture, ClutterCairoTexture, ClutterRectangle and
ClutterText which all explicitly check the actor's object type to avoid
making any assumptions about subclasses.
We were always explicitly checking priv->needs_allocation in
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip, but we only need to do that if
the CLUTTER_REDRAW_CLIPPED_TO_ALLOCATION flag is used.
This initializes priv->last_paint_box with a degenerate box, so a newly
allocated actor added to the scenegraph and made visible only needs to
trigger a redraw of its initial position. If we don't have a valid
last_paint_box though we would instead trigger a full stage redraw.
To make comparing the performance with culling/clipped redraws
enabled/disabled fairer we now avoid querying the paint box when they
are disabled, so that results should reflect how the cost of
transforming paint volumes into screen space etc gets offset against the
benefit of culling.
In clutter_stage_allocate at the end we were always querying the latest
allocation set and using the geometry to assert the viewport and then
kicking a full redraw. These only need to be done when the allocation
really changes, so we now read the previous allocation at the start of
the function and compare at the end. This was stopping clipped redraws
from being used in a lot of cases.
To consider that we've see a number of drivers that can struggle to get
going and may produce a bad first frame we now force the first 2 frames
to be full redraws. This became a serious issue after we started using
clipped redraws more aggressively because we assumed that after the
first frame the full framebuffer was valid and we only redraw the
content that changes. With buggy drivers though, applications would be
left with junk covering a lot of the stage until some event triggered a
full redraw.
This is a workaround for a race condition when resizing windows while
there are in-flight glXCopySubBuffer blits happening.
The problem stems from the fact that rectangles for the blits are
described relative to the bottom left of the window and because we can't
guarantee control over the X window gravity used when resizing so the
gravity is typically NorthWest not SouthWest.
This means if you grow a window vertically the server will make sure to
place the old contents of the window at the top-left/north-west of your
new larger window, but that may happen asynchronous to GLX preparing to
do a blit specified relative to the bottom-left/south-west of the window
(based on the old smaller window geometry).
When the GLX issued blit finally happens relative to the new bottom of
your window, the destination will have shifted relative to the top-left
where all the pixels you care about are so it will result in a nasty
artefact making resizing look very ugly!
We can't currently fix this completely, in-part because the window
manager tends to trample any gravity we might set. This workaround
instead simply disables blits for a while if we are notified of any
resizes happening so if the user is resizing a window via the window
manager then they may see an artefact for one frame but then we will
fallback to redrawing the full stage until the cooling off period is
over.
Instead of triggering a full stage redraw for Expose events we use the
geometry of the exposed region given in the event to queue a clipped
redraw of the stage.
Clutter has now taken responsibility for managing its viewport,
projection matrix and view transform as part of ClutterStage so
_cogl_setup_viewport is no longer used by anything, and since it's quite
an obscure API anyway it's we've taken the opportunity to remove the
function.
Since clutter_actor_queue_redraw now automatically clips redraws
according to the paint volume of the actor we have to be careful to
ensure we really force a full redraw when the stage is allocated a new
size or the stage viewport changes.
