ClutterContent is an interface for creating delegate objects that handle
what an actor is going to paint.
Since they are a newly added type, they only hook into the new PaintNode
based API.
The position and size of the content is controlled in part by the
content's own preferred size, and by the ClutterContentGravity
enumeration.
The ::paint-node virtual inside ClutterActor is what we want people to
use when painting their actors.
Right now, it's a new code path, that gets called while painting; the
paint_node() implementation should only paint the actor itself, and not
its children — they will get their own paint_node() called when needed.
Internally, ClutterActor will automatically create a dummy PaintNode and
paint the background color; then control will be handed out to the
implementation on the class. This is required to maintain compatibility
with the old ::paint signal emission.
Once we are able to get rid of the paint (and pick) sequences, we'll
switch to a fully retained render tree.
Now that we have a proper scene graph API, we should split out the
rendering part from the logical and event handling part.
ClutterPaintNode is a lightweight fundamental type that encodes only the
paint operations: pipeline state and geometry. At its most simple, is a
way to structure setting up the programmable pipeline using a
CoglPipeline, and submitting Cogl primitives. The important take away
from this API is that you are not allowed to call Cogl API like
cogl_set_source() or cogl_primitive_draw() directly.
The interesting approach to this is that, in the future, we should be
able to move to a purely retained mode: we will decide which actors need
to be painted, they will update their own branch of the render graph,
and we'll take the render graph and build all the rendering commands
from that.
For the 1.x API, we will have to maintain invariants and the existing
behaviour, but as soon as we can break API, the old paint signal will
just go away, and Actors will only be allowed to manipulate the render
tree.
As it turns out, we do end up recursing inside the ::paint signal
emission - especially inside the conformance test suite.
This thoroughly sucks - and we'll only be able to fix it properly
when we bump API for 2.0.
ClutterActor should be able to hold all transitions, even the ones that
have been explicitly created.
This will allow to add new transitions types in the future, like the
keyframe-based one, or the transition group.
It should be possible to ask a timeline what is its duration, taking
into account eventual repeats, and which repeat is the one currently
in progress.
These two functions allow writing animations that depend on the current
state of another timeline.
It should be possible to set up the delay of a transition, but since
we start the Transition instance before returning control to the caller,
we cannot use clutter_actor_get_transition() to do it without something
extra-awkward, like:
transition = clutter_actor_get_transition (actor, "width");
clutter_timeline_stop (transition);
clutter_timeline_set_delay (transition, 1000);
clutter_timeline_start (transition);
for each property involved. It's much easier to add a delay to the
easing state of an actor.
Clutter is meant to be, and I quote from the README, a toolkit:
for creating fast, compelling, portable, and dynamic graphical
user interfaces
and yet the default mode of operation for setting an actor's state on
the scene graph (position, size, opacity, rotation, scaling, depth,
etc.) is *not* dynamic. We assume a static UI, and then animate it.
This is the wrong way to design an API for a toolkit meant to be used to
create animated user interfaces. The default mode of operation should be
to implicitly animate every state transition, and only allow skipping
the animation if the user consciously decides to do so — i.e. the design
tenet of the API should be to make The Right Thing™ by default, and make
it really hard (or even impossible) to do The Wrong Thing™.
So we should identify "animatable" properties, i.e. those properties
that should be implicitly animated by ClutterActor, and use the
animation framework we provide to tween the transitions between the
current state and the desired state; the implicit animation should
happen when setting these properties using the public accessors, and not
through some added functionality. For instance, the following:
clutter_actor_set_position (actor, newX, newY);
should not make the actor jump to the (newX, newY) point; it should
tween the actor's position between the current point and the desired
point.
Since we have to maintain backward compatibility with existing
applications, we still need to mark the transitions explicitly, but we
can be smart about it, and treat transition states as a stack that can
be pushed and popped, e.g.:
clutter_actor_save_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_set_easing_duration (actor, 500);
clutter_actor_set_position (actor, newX, newY);
clutter_actor_set_opacity (actor, newOpacity);
clutter_actor_restore_easing_state (actor);
And we can even start stacking animations, e.g.:
clutter_actor_save_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_set_easing_duration (actor, 500);
clutter_actor_set_position (actor, newX, newY);
clutter_actor_save_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_set_easing_duration (actor, 500);
clutter_actor_set_easing_mode (actor, CLUTTER_LINEAR);
clutter_actor_set_opacity (actor, newOpacity);
clutter_actor_set_depth (actor, newDepth);
clutter_actor_restore_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_restore_easing_state (actor);
And so on, and so forth.
The implementation takes advantage of the newly added Transition API,
which uses only ClutterTimeline sub-classes and ClutterInterval, to cut
down the amount of signal emissions and memory management of object
instances; as well of using the ClutterAnimatable interface for custom
properties and interpolation of values.
As a convenience for the C API.
Language bindings should already be using the GValue variants.
This commit also moves the custom progress functions out of the
clutter-interval.c, as they are meant to be generic interpolation
functions and not ClutterInterval-specific.
The ::paint, ::queue-redraw, and ::queue-relayout signals should be
marked as no-recurse and no-hooks; these signals are emitted *a lot*
during each frame, and since GLib has a bunch of optimizations for
signals with no closures, we should try and squeeze every single CPU
cycle we can.

Normally this leak goes unnoticed because basic fundamental types
are typically used with clutter_actor_animate(), the leak shows up
if boxed or object types are passed (such as ClutterVertex in the
case I stumbled upon).

We can use the __COUNTER__ macro or, failing that, the __LINE__ macro to
ensure that we don't declare dummy variables more than once with the
same name.
The comment says that we're going to load textures in a loop until we
still have work to do, or if one iteration took more than 5
milliseconds, to avoid blowing up our frame budget, but the check is for
5 seconds, which is hardly a sensible value.
We remove 2 pixels from the height of the cursor, but we should also
remove the same amount from the position on the y axis, so that the
cursor caret appears centered in the allocated height.

ClutterScript should be able to automatically call gettext() and friends
on strings loaded from a UI definition, prior to passing the string to
the object it is constructing.
The basic implementation is trivial:
- set a translation domain on the ClutterScript instance
- mark the translatable strings inside the JSON data, like:
"property" : {
"translatable" : true,
"string" : "a translatable string"
}
The hard part is now getting the tools we use to extract the
translatable strings to understand the JSON format we use inside
ClutterScript.
Let's keep a budget of 16.6 milliseconds per frame, and reduce it by the
amount of time spent in each phase of the frame processing. If any phase
goes over the allocated budget then we use the diagnostic mode
facilities to warn the app developer.
It is sometimes useful to be able to have better control on when a
repaint function is called. Currently, all repaint functions are called
prior to the stages update phase of the frame processing.
We can introduce flags to represent the point in the frame update
process in which we wish Clutter called the repaint function.
As a bonus, we can also add a flag that causes adding a repaint function
to spin the master clock.
In theory, handlers connected to the ::allocation-changed signal may be
able to modify the actor's real allocation and allocation flags,
especially now that we use STATIC_SCOPE; let's avoid this, so that we
don't regret it later.
The show and hide implementation inside ClutterStage ended up being
recursive, and the hide implementation would actually show the children
of the stage unconditionally.
Whoopsie.
The ActorBox passed to the ::allocation-changed signal should be
annotated as STATIC_SCOPE, given that it's a pointer to a structure
inside ClutterActorPrivate - hence there's no risk of it actually being
freed from a signal handler. This allows the GSignal machinery to avoid
a costly copy/free for each signal emission.
If the redraw entry is not cleared, queueing a redraw from a signal
handler could reinsert the same object in the stage redraw list,
causing the segfault later (as the object is immediately freed)

This just adds some padding pointers so that we can later add more

Because evdev isn't associated with the display system, it doesn't
have any easy way to associate an input device with a stage.
Previously Clutter would never set a stage for an input device and
leave it up to the application to set it. To make it easier for
applications which just have a single fullscreen stage (which is
probably the most common use case for evdev) the device manager now
associates all input devices with the first stage that is created
unless something has already set a stage.

We currently check for the IN_DESTRUCTION flag inside the
add_child_internal() function.
This check disallows calling methods that change the stacking order
within the destruction sequence, by triggering a critical warning first,
and leaving the actor in an undefined state, which then ends up being
caught by an assertion.
The reproducible sequence is:
- actor gets destroyed;
- another actor, linked to the first, will try to change the
stacking order of the first actor;
- changing the stacking order is a composite operation composed
by the following steps:
1. ref() the child;
2. remove_child_internal(), which removes the reference;
3. add_child_internal(), which adds a reference;
- the state of the actor is not changed between (2) and (3), as
it could be an expensive recomputation;
- if (3) bails out, then the actor is in an undefined state, but
still alive;
- the destruction sequence terminates, but the actor is unparented
while its state indicates being parented instead.
- assertion failure.
The obvious fix would be to decompose each set_child_*_sibling() method
into proper remove_child()/add_child(), with state validation; this may
cause excessive work, though, and trigger a cascade of other bugs in
code that assumes that a change in the stacking order is an atomic
operation.
Another potential fix is to just remove this check here, and let code
doing stacking order changes inside the destruction sequence of an actor
continue doing the work.
The third fix is to silently bail out early from every
set_child_*_sibling() and set_child_at_index() method, and avoid doing
work.
I have a preference for the second solution, since it involves the least
amount of work, and the least amount of code duplication.

GLib introduced macros that allows defining the lower and upper bounds
of the API to be used by application code.
The lower bound allows to define the minimum version that will trigger
deprecation warnings; the upper bound defines the maximum version that
will trigger compiler warnings for unavailable symbols.
This scheme allows gradually porting application code to a new version
of the API, especially in case of resynchronization after multiple
development cycles.
Now that ClutterActor has a default paint volume, subclasses may wish
to retrieve it without chaining up to the parent's implementation of
the get_paint_volume() function.
The get_default_paint_volume() returns a ClutterPaintVolume pointer
to the paint volume as computed by the default implementation of the
get_paint_volume() virtual function; it can only be used immediately,
as it's not guaranteed to survive across multiple frames.
Creating PaintVolume instances is not possible, and it's not recommended
anyway. It is, though, necessary to union paint volumes, especially with
2D boxes, in some cases.
Clutter should provide a simple convenience function that allows
unioning volumes to boxes in a moderately efficient way.
