Boolean arguments for functions are pretty evil and usually
lead to combinatorial explosion of parameters in case multiple
settings are added.
In the case of the COGL texture constructors we have a boolean
argument for enabling the auto-mipmapping; it is conceivable that
we might want to add more settings for a COGL texture without
breaking API or ABI compatibility, so the boolean argument should
become a bitmask.
The internals have not been changed: instead of checking for
a non-zero value, we check for a bitmask being set.
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.
Okey; to summarise the changes...
We have converted Clutter and Cogl over to using floating point internally
instead of 16.16 fixed, but we have maintained the cogl-fixed API as a
utility to applications in case they want to implement their own optimizations.
The Clutter API has not changed (though ClutterFixed and ClutterUnit are now
internally floats) but all Cogl entry points have been changed to accept floats
now instead of CoglFixed.
To summarise the rationale...
There have been a number of issues with using fixed point though out Clutter
and Cogl including: lack of precision, lack of range, excessive format
conversion (GPUs tend to work nativly with IEEE floats) and maintainability.
One of the main arguments for fixed point - performance - hasn't shown
itself to be serious in practice so far since we seem to be more limited
by GPU performance and making improvements regarding how we submit data to
OpenGL[ES]/the GPU has had a more significant impact.
Ref: The recent multiple rectangle queuing changes + the
cogl-texture-agressive-batching branch which show significant performance
gains, and that recent tests on the ipodtouch (ARM + MBX) also showed no
loss of performance running with floats.
So finally; please forgive the inevitable fallout, this is a far reaching
change. There are still a few known issues with the fixed to float
conversion but enough works for all our conformance tests to pass, and the
remaining issues hopefully wont be too tricky to solve. For reference two
tags will be available either side of this change: "cogl-fixed-end" and
"cogl-float-start"
To deal with all the corner cases that couldn't be scripted a number of patches
were written for the remaining 10% of the effort.
Note: again no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
This is the result of running a number of sed and perl scripts over the code to
do 90% of the work in converting from 16.16 fixed to single precision floating
point.
Note: A pristine cogl-fixed.c has been maintained as a standalone utility API
so that applications may still take advantage of fixed point if they
desire for certain optimisations where lower precision may be acceptable.
Note: no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
Overview of changes:
- Within clutter/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been changed to use
the CLUTTER_FIXED_ macros.
- Within cogl/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been completly stripped
and expanded into code that works with single precision floats instead.
- Uses of cogl_fixed_* have been replaced with single precision math.h
alternatives.
- Uses of COGL_ANGLE_* and cogl_angle_* have been replaced so we use a float for
angles and math.h replacements.
It looks like the changes to cogl-gles2-wrapper.h were accidentally
committed to the actual file instead of the patch in commit
de27da0e. This commit moves the changes back into the patch so
cogl-gles2-wrapper.h is reverted back to master.
The patches have been updated to apply cleanly.
The patches for the g_warnings in clutter-actor.c have been removed
because master now uses CLUTTER_UNITS_FORMAT so they aren't
necessary. The clutter-units.h patch now sets CLUTTER_UNITS_FORMAT to
'f'.
The changes from the GL version of cogl-texture.c have been mirrored
in the GLES version. This adds the cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap
function and fixes the build errors.

The GLES 2 wrapper needs to set up some state before each
draw. Previously this was acheived by wrapping glDrawArrays. Since the
multiple-texture-rectangle branch merge, glDrawElements is used
instead so we also need a wrapper for that.
It was also directly calling glBindTexture. GLES 2 uses a wrapper for
this function so that it can cope with GL_ALPHA format textures. The
format of the current texture needs to be stored as well as the target
and object number for this to work.
For the asynchronous loading we need a function call that parses
a file, given its path, and retrieves the image width and height.

API.

Bug 1289 - Draw multiple glyphs at once
The multiple-texture-rectangle branch adds a new Cogl texture function
called cogl_texture_multiple_rectangles which is used to draw multiple
rectangles out of a texture using a single GL call. This is
significantly faster than drawing the rectangles with individual calls
on some platforms. The Pango renderer now uses this to speed up
rendering.
The conflicts are just due to the whitespace fixes in cb569a5.

segfault if you try to use it. With NVIDIA it returns NULL so
_cogl_features_init decides the card doesn't have VBO support.
There's no point in clearing the index array because it is always the

whenever you added a new clip it would go through a separate route
to immediately intersect with the current clip and when you
removed it again it would immediately rebuild the entire clip. Now
when you add or remove a clip it doesn't do anything immediately
but just sets a dirty flag instead.
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl.c:
* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl.c: Taken away the code to intersect
stencil clips when there is exactly one stencil bit. It won't work
with path clips and I don't know of any platform that doesn't have
eight or zero stencil bits. It needs at least three bits to

less than three bits.

border artifacts
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl-texture.c: Set the wrap mode of a texture
on demand
Instead of setting the wrap mode once per texture at creation, it
is now changed whenever the texture is drawn. The previous value
is cached so that it isn't changed if the value is the same.
This is used in _cogl_texture_quad_hw to only enable GL_REPEAT
mode when the coordinates are not in the range [0,1]. Otherwise it
can pull in pixels from the other edge when the texture is
rendered off-pixel.
Most cards don't actually support GL_QUADS and they are deprecated in
GL 3.0 so there is a chance it will perform faster with GL_TRIANGLES
even though it has to submit two extra vertices.
This takes an array of sets of 8 floats to describe the rectangles. It
tries to send the geometry with a single glDrawArrays as far as
possible. cogl_texture_rectangle is now just a wrapper around
cogl_texture_multiple_rectangles.
cogl_texture_quad_hw and _sw now just add vertices to the vertex
array. The last texture used is stored and if a different texture is
encountered then flushes the vertices. cogl_texture_rectangle always
flushes the vertices after calling either of the functions.
the test for whether to use hardware tiling. Previously it assumed
that texture coordinates are in increasing order but this is not
the case since bug 1057 was fixed. The texture coordinates are now
sorted later. It also allowed negative coordinates which doesn't
make sense if the texture has waste.
