We are currently using a pipeline as a key into our arbfp program cache
but because we weren't making a copy of the pipelines used as keys there
were times when doing a lookup in the cache would end up trying to
compare a lookup key with an entry key that would point to invalid
memory.
Note: the current approach isn't ideal from the pov that that key
pipeline may reference some arbitrarily large user textures will now be
kept alive indefinitely. The plan to improve on this is that we will
have a mechanism to create a special "key pipeline" which will derive
from the default Cogl pipeline (to avoid affecting the lifetime of
other pipelines) and only copy state from the original pipeline that
affects the arbfp program and will reference small dummy textures
instead of potentially large user textures.
In the arbfp backend there is a seqential approach to finding a suitable
arbfp program to use for a given pipeline; first we see if there's
already a program associated with the pipeline, 2nd we try and find a
program associated with the "arbfp-authority" 3rd we try and lookup a
program in a cache and finally we resort to starting code-generation for
a new program. This patch slightly reworks the code of these steps to
hopefully make them a bit clearer.
_cogl_pipeline_needs_blending_enabled tries to determine whether each
layer is using the default combine state. However it was using
argument 0 for both checks so the if-statement would never be true.
There are a set of "EvalFlags" that get passed to _cogl_pipeline_hash
that can tweak the semantics of what state is evaluated for hashing but
these flags weren't getting passed via the HashState state structure
so it would be undefined if you would get the correct semantics.
According to 9cc9033347 the windows headers #define near as nothing,
and presumable the same is true for 'far' too. Apparently this define is
to improve compatibility with code written for Windows 3.1, so it's good
that people will be able to incorporate such code into their Clutter
applications.
We were trying to declare and initializing an arbfp program cache for
GLES but since the prototypes for the _hash and _equal functions were
only available for GL this broke the GLES builds. By #ifdefing the code
to conditionally declare/initialize for GL only this should hopefully
fix GLES builds.
The constant 'True' is defined by Xlib which isn't used for all clutter
builds so this replaces occurrences of True with TRUE which is defined
by glib. This should hopefully fix the win32 builds.
This adds a cache (A GHashTable) of ARBfp programs and before ever
starting to code-generate a new program we will always first try and
find an existing program in the cache. This uses _cogl_pipeline_hash and
_cogl_pipeline_equal to hash and compare the keys for the cache.
There is a new COGL_DEBUG=disable-program-caches option that can disable
the cache for debugging purposes.
This allows us to get a hash for a set of state groups for a given
pipeline. This can be used for example to get a hash of the fragment
processing state of a pipeline so we can implement a cache for compiled
arbfp/glsl programs.
_cogl_pipeline_equal now accepts a mask of pipeline differences and layer
differences to constrain what state will be compared. In addition a set
of flags are passed that can tweak the comparison semantics for some
state groups. For example when comparing layer textures we sometimes
only need to compare the texture target and can ignore the data itself.
In updating the code this patch also changes it so all required pipeline
authorities are resolved in one step up-front instead of resolving the
authority for each state group in turn and repeatedly having to traverse
the pipeline's ancestry. This adds two new functions
_cogl_pipeline_resolve_authorities and
_cogl_pipeline_layer_resolve_authorities to handle resolving a set of
authorities.
This removes the unused array of per-packend priv data pointers
associated with every CoglPipelineLayer. This reduces the size of all
layer allocations and avoids having to zero an array for each
_cogl_pipeline_layer_copy.
A non-static function named cogl_object_get_type was inadvertently added
during the addition of the CoglObject base type, but there is no public
prototype in the headers and it's only referenced inside cogl-object.c
to implement cogl_handle_get_type() for compatibility. This removes the
function since we don't want to commit to CoglObject always simply being
a boxed type. In the future we may want to register hierarchical
GTypeInstance based types.
To allow us to have gobject properties that accept a CoglMatrix value we
need to register a GType. This adds a cogl_gtype_matrix_get_type function
that will register a static boxed type called "CoglMatrix".
This adds a new section to the reference manual for GType integration
functions.
As a pre-requisite for being able to register a boxed GType for
CoglMatrix (enabling us to define gobject properties that accept a
CoglMatrix) this adds cogl_matrix_copy and _free functions.
In _cogl_pipeline_needs_blending_enabled after first checking whether
the property most recently changed requires blending we would then
resort to checking all other properties too in case some other state
also requires blending. We now avoid checking all other properties in
the case that blending was previously disabled and checking the property
recently changed doesn't require blending.
Note: the plan is to improve this further by explicitly keeping track
of the properties that currently cause blending to be enabled so that we
never have to resort to checking all other properties we can constrain
the checks to those masked properties.
This moves _cogl_pipeline_get_parent and _cogl_pipeline_get_authority
into cogl-pipeline-private.h so they can be inlined since they have been
seen to get quite high in profiles. Given that they both contain such
small amounts of code the function call overhead is significant.
This adds a debug option called disable-software-clipping which causes
the journal to always log the clip stack state rather than trying to
manually clip rectangles.
Before flushing the journal there is now a separate iteration that
will try to determine if the matrix of the clip stack and the matrix
of the rectangle in each entry are on the same plane. If they are it
can completely avoid the clip stack and instead manually modify the
vertex and texture coordinates to implement the clip. The has the
advantage that it won't break up batching if a single clipped
rectangle is used in a scene.
The software clip is only used if there is no user program and no
texture matrices. There is a threshold to the size of the batch where
it is assumed that it is worth the cost to break up a batch and
program the GPU to do the clipping. Currently this is set to 8
although this figure is plucked out of thin air.
To check whether the two matrices are on the same plane it tries to
determine if one of the matrices is just a simple translation of the
other. In the process of this it also works out what the translation
would be. These values can be used to translate the clip rectangle
into the coordinate space of the rectangle to be logged. Then we can
do the clip directly in the rectangle's coordinate space.
Previously in cogl-clip-state.c when it detected that the current
modelview matrix is screen-aligned it would convert the clip entry to
a window clip. Instead of doing this cogl-clip-stack.c now contains
the detection and keeps the entry as a rectangle clip but marks that
it is entirely described by its scissor rect. When flusing the clip
stack it doesn't do anything extra for entries that have this mark
(because the clip will already been setup by the scissor). This is
needed so that we can still track the original rectangle coordinates
and modelview matrix to help detect when it would be faster to modify
the rectangle when adding it to the journal rather than having to
break up the batch to set the clip state.
When logging a quad we now only store the 2 vertices representing the
top left and bottom right of the quad. The color is only stored once
per entry. Once we come to upload the data we expand the 2 vertices
into four and copy the color to each vertex. We do this by mapping the
buffer and directly expanding into it. We have to copy the data before
we can render it anyway so it doesn't make much sense to expand the
vertices before uploading and this way should save some space in the
size of the journal. It also makes it slightly easier if we later want
to do pre-processing on the journal entries before uploading such as
doing software clipping.
The modelview matrix is now always copied to the journal entry whereas
before it would only be copied if we aren't doing software
transform. The journal entry struct always has the space for the
modelview matrix so hopefully it's only a small cost to copy the
matrix.
The transform for the four entries is now done using
cogl_matrix_transform_points which may be slightly faster than
transforming them each individually with a call to
cogl_matrix_transfom.
This reverts commit 4cfe90bde2.
GLSL 1.00 on GLES doesn't support unsized arrays so the whole idea
can't work.

The check for whether we can reuse a program we've already generated
was only being done if the pipeline already had a
glsl_program_state. When there is no glsl_program_state it then looks
for the nearest ancestor it can share the program with. It then
wasn't checking whether that ancestor already had a GL program so it
would start generating the source again. It wouldn't however compile
that source again because _cogl_pipeline_backend_glsl_end does check
whether there is already a program. This patch moves the check until
after it has found the glsl_program_state, whether or not it was found
from an ancestor or as its own state.
Under GLES2 we were defining the cogl_tex_coord_in varying as an array
with a size determined by the number of texture coordinate arrays
enabled whenever the program is used. This meant that we may have to
regenerate the shader with a different size if the shader is used with
more texture coord arrays later. However in OpenGL the equivalent
builtin varying gl_TexCoord is simply defined as:
varying vec4 gl_TexCoord[]; /* <-- no size */
GLSL is documented that if you declare an array with no size then you
can only access it with a constant index and the size of the array
will be determined by the highest index used. If you want to access it
with a non-constant expression you need to redeclare the array
yourself with a size.
We can replicate the same behaviour in our Cogl shaders by instead
declaring the cogl_tex_coord_in with no size. That way we don't have
to pass around the number of tex coord attributes enabled when we
flush a material. It also means that CoglShader can go back to
directly uploading the source string to GL when cogl_shader_source is
called so that we don't have to keep a copy of it around.
If the user wants to access cogl_tex_coord_in with a non-constant
index then they can simply redeclare the array themself. Hopefully
developers will expect to have to do this if they are accustomed to
the gl_TexCoord array.
When compiling for GLES2, the codegen is affected by state other than
the layers. That means when we find an authority for the codegen state
we can't directly look at authority->n_layers to determine the number
of layers because it isn't necessarily the layer state authority. This
patch changes it to use cogl_pipeline_get_n_layers instead. Once we
have two authorities that differ in codegen state we then compare all
of the layers to decide if they would affect codegen. However it was
ignoring the fact that the authorities might also differ by the other
codegen state. This path also adds an extra check for whether
_cogl_pipeline_compare_differences contains any codegen bits other
than COGL_PIPELINE_STATE_LAYERS.
When determining if a layer would require a different shader to be
generated it needs to check a certain set of state changes and it
needs to check whether the texture target is different. However it was
checking whether texture texture was different only if the other state
was also different which doesn't make any sense. It also only checked
the texture difference if that was the only state change which meant
that effectively the code was impossible to reach. Now it does the
texture target check indepent of the other state changes.
The fixed pipeline backend wasn't correctly flushing the combine
constant because it was using the wrong flag to determine if the
combine constant has changed since the last flushed material.
When enabling a unit that was disabled from a previous flush pipeline
it was forgetting to rebind the right texture unit so it wouldn't
work. This was causing the redhand to disappear when using the fixed
function backend in test-cogl-multitexture if anything else is added
to the scene.
For shader generation backends we don't need to worry about changes to
the texture object and changing the user matrix. The missing user
matrix flag was causing test-cogl-multitexture to regenerate the
shader every frame.
Having ctx here produces a warning on GLES. However it's needed for Big
GL as we have at the top of the file:
#ifdef HAVE_COGL_GL
#define glClientActiveTexture ctx->drv.pf_glClientActiveTexture
#endif
This reverts commit 27a3a2056a.
In 6246c2bd6 I moved the code to add the boilerplate to a shader to a
separate function and also made it so that the common boilerplate is
added as a separate string to glShaderSource. However I didn't notice
that the #define for the vertex and fragment shaders already includes
the common part so it was being added twice. Mesa seems to accept this
but it was causing problems on the IMG driver because COGL_VERSION was
defined twice.

Before commit 49898d43 CoglPipeline would compare whether a pipeline
layer's texture is equal by fetching the underlying GL handle. I
changed that so that it would only compare the CoglHandles because
that commit removes the GL handle texture overrides and sliced
textures instead log the underlying primitive texture. However I
forgot that the primitives don't always use
_cogl_texture_foreach_sub_texture_in_region when the quad fits within
the single texture so it won't use a texture override. This meant that
atlas textures and sub textures get logged with the atlas handle so
the comparison still needs to be done using the GL handles. It might
be nice to add a CoglTexture virtual to get the underlying primitive
texture instead to avoid having the pipeline poke around with GL
handles.
If we have to make override changes to the user's source material to
handle cogl_polygon then we need to make sure we unref the override
material at the end.
Previously we used the layers->backend_priv[] members to determine when
to notify backends about layer changes, but it entirely up to the
backends if they want to associate private state with layers, even
though they may still be interested in layer change notifications (they
may associate layer related state with the owner pipeline).
We now make the observation that in
_cogl_pipeline_backend_layer_change_notify we should be able to assume
there can only be one backend currently associated with the layer
because we wouldn't allow changes to a layer with multiple dependants.
This means we can determine the backend to notify by looking at the
owner pipeline instead.
The features_cached member of CoglContext is intended to mark when
we've calculated the features so that we know if they are ready in
cogl_get_features. However we always intialize the features while
creating the context so features_cached will never be FALSE so it's
not useful. We also had the odd behaviour that the COGL_DEBUG feature
overrides were only applied in the first call to
cogl_get_features. However there are other functions that use the
feature flags such as cogl_features_available that don't use this
function so in some cases the feature flags will be interpreted before
the overrides are applied. This patch makes it always initialize the
features and apply the overrides immediately while creating the
context. This fixes a problem with COGL_DEBUG=disable-arbfp where the
first material flushed is done before any call to cogl_get_features so
it may still use ARBfp.
Now that the GLSL backend can generate code it can effectively handle
any pipeline unless there is an ARBfp program. However with current
open source GL drivers the ARBfp compiler is more stable so it makes
sense to prefer ARBfp when possible. The GLSL backend is also lower
than the fixed function backend on the assumption that any driver that
supports GLSL will also support ARBfp so it's quicker to try the fixed
function backend next.
This adds COGL_DEBUG=disable-fixed to disable the fixed function
pipeline backend. This is needed to test the GLSL shader generation
because otherwise the fixed function backend would always override it.
We don't want to use gl_PointCoord to implement point sprites on big
GL because in that case we already use glTexEnv(GL_COORD_REPLACE) to
replace the texture coords with the point sprite coords. Although GL
also supports the gl_PointCoord variable, it requires GLSL 1.2 which
would mean we would have to declare the GLSL version and check for
it. We continue to use gl_PointCoord for GLES2 because it has no
glTexEnv function.
