This adds much more comprehensive support for gobject-introspection
based bindings by registering all objects as fundamental types that
inherit from CoglObject, and all structs as boxed types.

Since the Cogl 1.18 branch is actively maintained in parallel with the
master branch; this is a counter part to commit 1b83ef938fc16b which
re-licensed the master branch to use the MIT license.
This re-licensing is a follow up to the proposal that was sent to the
Cogl mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001465.html
Note: there was a copyright assignment policy in place for Clutter (and
therefore Cogl which was part of Clutter at the time) until the 11th of
June 2010 and so we only checked the details after that point (commit
0bbf50f905)
For each file, authors were identified via this Git command:
$ git blame -p -C -C -C20 -M -M10 0bbf50f905..HEAD
We received blanket approvals for re-licensing all Red Hat and Collabora
contributions which reduced how many people needed to be contacted
individually:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001470.html
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January/001536.html
Individual approval requests were sent to all the other identified authors
who all confirmed the re-license on the Cogl mailinglist:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January
As well as updating the copyright header in all sources files, the
COPYING file has been updated to reflect the license change and also
document the other licenses used in Cogl such as the SGI Free Software
License B, version 2.0 and the 3-clause BSD license.
This patch was not simply cherry-picked from master; but the same
methodology was used to check the source files.
When splitting out the CoglPath api we saw that we would be left with
inconsistent drawing apis if the drawing apis in core Cogl were lumped
into the cogl_framebuffer_ api considering other Cogl sub-libraries or
that others will want to create higher level drawing apis outside of
Cogl but can't use the same namespace.
So that we can aim for a more consistent style this adds a
cogl_primitive_draw() api, comparable to cogl_path_fill() or
cogl_pango_show_layout() that's intended to replace
cogl_framebuffer_draw_primitive()
Note: the attribute and rectangle drawing apis are still in the
cogl_framebuffer_ namespace and this might potentially change but in
these cases there is no single object representing the thing being drawn
so it seems a more reasonable they they live in the framebuffer
namespace for now.
Note: the cogl_framebuffer_draw_primitive() api isn't removed by this
patch so it can more conveniently be cherry picked to the 1.16 branch so
we can mark it deprecated for a short while. Even though it's marked as
experimental api we know that there are people using the api so we'd
like to give them a chance to switch to the new api.

This fixes some problems which were stopping --disable-glib from
working properly:
• A lot of the public headers were including glib.h. This shouldn't be
necessary because the API doesn't expose any glib types. Otherwise
any apps would require glib in order to get the header.
• The public headers were using G_BEGIN_DECLS. There is now a
replacement macro called COGL_BEGIN_DECLS which is defined in
cogl-types.h.
• A similar fix has been done for G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and
G_GNUC_DEPRECATED.
• The CFLAGS were not including $(builddir)/deps/glib which was
preventing it finding the generated glibconfig.h when building out
of tree.

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.

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.
This adds some android specific api for creating a CoglBitmap from an
Android asset.
As part of the work it also seemed like a good time to change the
internal bitmap constructors to take an explicit CoglContext argument
and so the public cogl_bitmap_new_from_file() api was also changed
accordingly to take a CoglContext pointer as the first argument.

Since we aren't able to break APIs on the 1.12 branch this cherry-pick
skips the change to cogl_bitmap_new_from_file()
The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.
Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.
Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.
So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.
Instead of gsize we now use size_t
For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

Since the original patch was done after removing deprecated API
this back ported patch doesn't affect deprecated API and so
actually this cherry-pick doesn't remove all remaining use of
CoglHandle as it did for the master branch of Cogl.
This creates a CoglBitmap which points into an existing buffer in
system memory. That way it can be used to create a texture or to read
pixel data into. The function replaces the existing internal function
_cogl_bitmap_new_from_data but removes the destroy notify call back.
If the application wants notification of destruction it can just use
the cogl_object_set_user_data function as normal. Internally there is
now a convenience function to create a bitmap for system memory and
automatically free the buffer using that mechanism.
The name of the function is inspired by
cairo_image_surface_create_for_data which has similar semantics.

This adds a small cogl_bitmap_get_buffer public function. Note that
this can return NULL if the bitmap was not created with a pixel
buffer. It might be nice to change this eventually so that all bitmaps
have a pixel buffer.
Reviewed-by: Robert Bragg <robert@linux.intel.com>
The idea is that CoglPixelBuffer should just be a buffer that can be
used for pixel data and it has no idea about the details of any images
that are stored in it. This is analogous to CoglAttributeBuffer which
itself does not have any information about the attributes. When you
want to use a pixel buffer you should create a CoglBitmap which points
to a region of the attribute buffer and provides the extra needed
information such as the width, height and format. That way it is also
possible to use a single CoglPixelBuffer with multiple bitmaps.
The changes that are made are:
• cogl_pixel_buffer_new_with_size has been removed and in its place is
cogl_bitmap_new_with_size. This will create a pixel buffer at the
right size and rowstride for the given width/height/format and
immediately create a single CoglBitmap to point into it. The old
function had an out-parameter for the stride of the image but with
the new API this should be queriable from the bitmap (although there
is no function for this yet).
• There is now a public cogl_pixel_buffer_new constructor. This takes
a size in bytes and data pointer similarly to
cogl_attribute_buffer_new.
• cogl_texture_new_from_buffer has been removed. If you want to create
a texture from a pixel buffer you should wrap it up in a bitmap
first. There is already API to create a texture from a bitmap.
This patch also does a bit of header juggling because cogl-context.h
was including cogl-texture.h and cogl-framebuffer.h which were causing
some circular dependencies when cogl-bitmap.h includes cogl-context.h.
These weren't actually needed in cogl-context.h itself but a few other
headers were relying on them being included so this adds the #includes
where necessary.

Originally we decided to use #define tricks to rename all experimental
symbols so that they had an _EXP suffix so it would be a bit clearer for
those wanting to check for ABI changes that they shouldn't worry about
these experimental symbols.
We feel now though that the defines are a bit more hassle than they are
really worth, since they are one extra thing to remember when coding,
they make using gdb slightly more awkward since you have to use the real
symbol name to set breakpoints and we already have a mechanism for
declaring symbols as experimental via gtk-doc that can be used by anyone
wanting to check for ABI changes.
Instead of just using a script to remove all the #defines we are going
to go through them manually because we need to make sure the symbols
are marked as unstable via gtk-doc. This patch does a first batch of
define removals and in fact some of the symbols didn't have any
documentation at all so that needed to be added too.

This exposes 2 experimental functions that make it possible to upload a
subregion of a texture from a CoglBuffer by first wrapping the buffer as
a CoglBitmap and then allowing uploading of a subregion from a
CoglBitmap. The new functions are:
cogl_bitmap_new_from_buffer() and
cogl_texture_set_region_from_bitmap()
Actually for now we are exporting this API for practical reasons since
we already had this API internally and it enables a specific feature
that was requested, but it is worth nothing that it's quite likely we
will replace these with functions that don't involve the CoglBitmap API
at some point.
For reference: The CoglBitmap API was actually removed from the 2.0
experimental API reference manual some time ago because the hope was
that we'd come up with a neater replacement. It doesn't seem entirely
clear what the scope of the CoglBitmap api is so it has became a bit of
a dumping ground. CoglBitmap is used for image loading, as a means to
represent the layout of image data and also internally deals with format
conversions.
Note: Because we are avoiding including CoglBitmap as part of the 2.0
API these functions aren't currently included in the 2.0 reference
manual.

There are many places in the texture backend that need to do
conversion using the CoglBitmap code. Currently none of these
functions can throw an error but they do return a value to indicate
failure. In future it would make sense if new texture functions could
throw an error and in that case they would want to use a CoglBitmap
error if the failure was due to the conversion. This moves the
internal CoglBitmap error from the quartz backend to be public in
cogl-bitmap.h so that it can be used in this way.
This replaces the use of CoglHandle with strongly type CoglBitmap *
pointers instead. The only function not converted for now is
cogl_is_bitmap which will be done in a later commit.
Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug
report tool.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521
We've had complaints that our Cogl code/headers are a bit "special" so
this is a first pass at tidying things up by giving them some
consistency. These changes are all consistent with how new code in Cogl
is being written, but the style isn't consistently applied across all
code yet.
There are two parts to this patch; but since each one required a large
amount of effort to maintain tidy indenting it made sense to combine the
changes to reduce the time spent re indenting the same lines.
The first change is to use a consistent style for declaring function
prototypes in headers. Cogl headers now consistently use this style for
prototypes:
return_type
cogl_function_name (CoglType arg0,
CoglType arg1);
Not everyone likes this style, but it seems that most of the currently
active Cogl developers agree on it.
The second change is to constrain the use of redundant glib data types
in Cogl. Uses of gint, guint, gfloat, glong, gulong and gchar have all
been replaced with int, unsigned int, float, long, unsigned long and char
respectively. When talking about pixel data; use of guchar has been
replaced with guint8, otherwise unsigned char can be used.
The glib types that we continue to use for portability are gboolean,
gint{8,16,32,64}, guint{8,16,32,64} and gsize.
The general intention is that Cogl should look palatable to the widest
range of C programmers including those outside the Gnome community so
- especially for the public API - we want to minimize the number of
foreign looking typedefs.
• Use the same style for the Cogl API reference as the one used for
the Clutter API reference.
• Fix the introspection annotations for cogl_bitmap_get_size_from_file()
As part of an incremental process to have Cogl be a standalone project we
want to re-consider how we organise the Cogl source code.
Currently this is the structure I'm aiming for:
cogl/
cogl/
<put common source here>
winsys/
cogl-glx.c
cogl-wgl.c
driver/
gl/
gles/
os/ ?
utils/
cogl-fixed
cogl-matrix-stack?
cogl-journal?
cogl-primitives?
pango/
The new winsys component is a starting point for migrating window system
code (i.e. x11,glx,wgl,osx,egl etc) from Clutter to Cogl.
The utils/ and pango/ directories aren't added by this commit, but they are
noted because I plan to add them soon.
Overview of the planned structure:
* The winsys/ API is the API that binds OpenGL to a specific window system,
be that X11 or win32 etc. Example are glx, wgl and egl. Much of the logic
under clutter/{glx,osx,win32 etc} should migrate here.
* Note there is also the idea of a winsys-base that may represent a window
system for which there are multiple winsys APIs. An example of this is
x11, since glx and egl may both be used with x11. (currently only Clutter
has the idea of a winsys-base)
* The driver/ represents a specific varient of OpenGL. Currently we have "gl"
representing OpenGL 1.4-2.1 (mostly fixed function) and "gles" representing
GLES 1.1 (fixed funciton) and 2.0 (fully shader based)
* Everything under cogl/ should fundamentally be supporting access to the
GPU. Essentially Cogl's most basic requirement is to provide a nice GPU
Graphics API and drawing a line between this and the utility functionality
we add to support Clutter should help keep this lean and maintainable.
* Code under utils/ as suggested builds on cogl/ adding more convenient
APIs or mechanism to optimize special cases. Broadly speaking you can
compare cogl/ to OpenGL and utils/ to GLU.
* clutter/pango will be moved to clutter/cogl/pango
How some of the internal configure.ac/pkg-config terminology has changed:
backendextra -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE # e.g. "x11"
backendextralib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE_LIB # e.g. "x11/libclutter-x11.la"
clutterbackend -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS # e.g. "glx"
CLUTTER_FLAVOUR -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS
clutterbackendlib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_LIB
CLUTTER_COGL -> COGL_DRIVER # e.g. "gl"
Note: The CLUTTER_FLAVOUR and CLUTTER_COGL defines are kept for apps
As the first thing to take advantage of the new winsys component in Cogl;
cogl_get_proc_address() has been moved from cogl/{gl,gles}/cogl.c into
cogl/common/cogl.c and this common implementation first trys
_cogl_winsys_get_proc_address() but if that fails then it falls back to
gmodule.
