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()
Cogl has feature flags for basic npot texture support and then separate
flags for npot + repeat and npot + mipmap. If those three features are
available then there is a feature for full-npot support too for
convenience. The cogl_texture_2d_new_ constructors were checking for
full npot support and failing if not available but since we expose the
fine grained features to the user the user should be able to check the
limitations of npot textures and still choose to allocate them.
_cogl_texture_2d_can_create() now only checks for basic npot support
when creating a npot texture. Since this change also affects the
automagic cogl_texture_ constructors they now check for basic npot +
mipmap support before considering using a Texture2D.
Notably the cogl_texture_ constructors will try constructing a Texture2D
even if we don't have npot + repeat support since the alternative is a
sliced texture which will need manual repeating anyway. Accordingly the
Texture2D::can_hardware_repeat and ::transform_quad_coords_to_gl vfuncs
have been made aware of the npot + repeat feature flag.

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.

This adds a context member to CoglBitmap which stores the context it
was created with. That way it can be used in texture constructors
which use a bitmap. There is also an internal private function to get
the context out of the bitmap which all of the texture constructors
now use. _cogl_texture_3d_new_from_bitmap has had its context
parameter removed so that it more closely matches the other bitmap
constructors.

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 _cogl_bitmap_convert_into_bitmap which is the same as

_cogl_read_pixels to avoid allocating a second intermediate buffer

If we are going to unpack the data into a known format anyway we might
as well do the premult conversion instead of delaying it to do
in-place. This helps because not all formats with alpha channels are
handled by the in-place premult conversion code. This removes the
_cogl_bitmap_convert_format_and_premult function so that now
_cogl_bitmap_convert is a completely general purpose function that can
convert from anything to anything. _cogl_bitmap_convert now includes a
fast path for when the base formats are the same and the premult
conversion can be handled with the in-place code so that we don't need
to unpack and can just copy the bitmap instead.

Previously the bitmap code was setup so that there could be an image
library used to convert between formats and then some 'fallback' code
when the image library can't handle the conversion. However there was
never any implementation of the conversion in the image library so the
fallback was always used. I don't think this split really makes sense
so this patch renames cogl-bitmap-fallback to cogl-bitmap-conversion
and removes the stub conversion functions in the image library.

Although it's in a public header nothing should be using this define
since it's not documented what it could be used for. The cases where we
were using it internally were quite fragile because they were trying to
mask information from the least significant nibble of CoglPixelFormat
but really that nibble just has to be dealt with using lookup tables.
The least significant nibble of a pixel format gives information about
the bytes per pixel and whether the components are byte aligned but the
information needs to be accessed using
_cogl_pixel_format_get_byes_per_pixel() and
_cogl_pixel_format_is_endian_dependant().

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.

Cogl no longer has any code that assumes the buffer in a CoglBitmap is
allocated to the full size of height*rowstride. We should comment that
this is the case so that we remember to keep it that way. This is
important for cogl_texture_new_from_data because the application may
have created the data from a sub-region of a larger image and in that
case it's not safe to read the full rowstride of the last row when the
sub region contains the last row of the larger image.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2491
If we have to copy the bitmap to do the premultiplication then we were
previously using the rowstride of the source image as the rowstride
for the new image. This is wasteful if the source image is a subregion
of a larger image which would make it use a large rowstride. If we
have to copy the data anyway we might as well compact it to the
smallest rowstride. This also prevents the copy from reading past the
end of the last row of pixels.
An internal function called _cogl_bitmap_copy has been added to do the
copy. It creates a new bitmap with the smallest possible rowstride
rounded up the nearest multiple of 4 bytes. There may be other places
in Cogl that are currently assuming we can read height*rowstride of
the source buffer so they may want to take advantage of this function
too.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2491
This function creates a CoglBitmap which internally references a
CoglBuffer. The map and unmap functions will divert to mapping the
buffer. There are also now bind and unbind functions which should be
used instead of map and unmap whenever the data doesn't need to be
read from the CPU but will instead be passed to GL for packing or
unpacking. For bitmaps created from buffers this just binds the
bitmap.
cogl_texture_new_from_buffer now just uses this function to wrap the
buffer in a bitmap rather than trying to bind the buffer
immediately. This means that the buffer will be bound only at the
point right before the texture data is uploaded.
This approach means that using a pixel array will take the fastest
upload route if possible, but can still fallback to copying the data
by mapping the buffer if some conversion is needed. Previously it
would just crash in this case because the texture functions were all
passed a NULL pointer.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2112
The CoglBitmap struct is now only defined within cogl-bitmap.c so that
all of its members can now only be accessed with accessor
functions. To get to the data pointer for the bitmap image you must
first call _cogl_bitmap_map and later call _cogl_bitmap_unmap. The map
function takes the same arguments as cogl_pixel_array_map so that
eventually we can make a bitmap optionally internally divert to a
pixel array.
There is a _cogl_bitmap_new_from_data function which constructs a new
bitmap object and takes ownership of the data pointer. The function
gets passed a destroy callback which gets called when the bitmap is
freed. This is similar to how gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data
works. Alternatively NULL can be passed for the destroy function which
means that the caller will manage the life of the pointer (but must
guarantee that it stays alive at least until the bitmap is
freed). This mechanism is used instead of the old approach of creating
a CoglBitmap struct on the stack and manually filling in the
members. It could also later be used to create a CoglBitmap that owns
a GdkPixbuf ref so that we don't necessarily have to copy the
GdkPixbuf data when converting to a bitmap.
There is also _cogl_bitmap_new_shared. This creates a bitmap using a
reference to another CoglBitmap for the data. This is a bit of a hack
but it is needed by the atlas texture backend which wants to divert
the set_region virtual to another texture but it needs to override the
format of the bitmap to ignore the premult flag.
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.

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.
The premult part of _cogl_convert_premult has now been split out as
_cogl_convert_premult_status. _cogl_convert_premult has been renamed
to _cogl_convert_format to make it less confusing. The premult
conversion is now done in-place instead of copying the
buffer. Previously it was copying the buffer once for the format
conversion and then copying it again for the premult conversion. The
premult conversion never changes the size of the buffer so it's quite
easy to do in place. We can also use the separated out function
independently.
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.
