d42f1873fc framebuffer: Flush the journal on destruction
Instead of flushing the journal whenever the current framebuffer on a
context is changed it is now flushed whenever the framebuffer is about
to be destroyed instead. To do this it implements a custom unref
function which detects when there is going to be exactly one reference
on the framebuffer and then flushes its journal. The journal now
always has a reference on the framebuffer whenever it is non-empty.
That means the unref will only cause a flush if the only thing keeping
the framebuffer alive is the entries in the journal.

f005f517fe Flush matrices in the progend and flip with a vector
Previously flushing the matrices was performed as part of the
framebuffer state. When on GLES2 this matrix flushing is actually
diverted so that it only keeps a reference to the intended matrix
stack. This is necessary because on GLES2 there are no builtin
uniforms so it can't actually flush the matrices until the program for
the pipeline is generated. When the matrices are flushed it would
store the age of modifications on the matrix stack so that it could
detect when the matrix hasn't changed and avoid flushing it.

This patch changes it so that the pipeline is responsible for flushing
the matrices even when we are using the GL builtins. The same
mechanism for detecting unmodified matrix stacks is used in all
cases. There is a new CoglMatrixStackCache type which is used to store
a reference to the intended matrix stack along with its last flushed
age. There are now two of these attached to the CoglContext to track
the flushed state for the global matrix builtins and also two for each
glsl progend program state to track the flushed state for a
program. The framebuffer matrix flush now just updates the intended
matrix stacks without actually trying to flush.

When a vertex snippet is attached to the pipeline, the GLSL vertend
will now avoid using the projection matrix to flip the rendering. This
is necessary because any vertex snippet may cause the projection
matrix not to be used. Instead the flip is done as a forced final step
by multiplying cogl_position_out by a vec4 uniform. This uniform is
updated as part of the progend pre_paint depending on whether the
framebuffer is offscreen or not.

042dc7c8cd framebuffer: Optimize _cogl_framebuffer_flush_state()
Previously the cost of _cogl_framebuffer_state_flush() would always
scale by the total amount of state tracked by CoglFramebuffer even in
cases where we knew up-front that we only wanted to flush a subset of
the state or in cases where we requested to flush the same framebuffer
multiple times with no changes being made to the framebuffer.

We now track a set of state changed flags with each framebuffer and
track the current read/draw buffers as part of the CoglContext so that
we can quickly bail out when asked to flush the same framebuffer
multiple times with no changes.

_cogl_framebuffer_flush_state() now takes a mask of the state that we
want to flush and the implementation has been redesigned so that the
cost of checking what needs to be flushed and flushing those changes
now scales by how much state we actually plan to update.

c86f698eb9 make COGL_FEATURE_VBOS a private feature
Cogl provides a consistent public interface regardless of whether the
underlying GL driver supports VBOs so it doesn't make much sense to have
this feature as part of the public api.  We can't break the api by
removing the enum but at least we no longer ever set the feature flag.

We now have a replacement private feature flag COGL_PRIVATE_FEATURE_VBOS
which cogl now checks for internally.

4c3dadd35e Add a strong CoglTexture type to replace CoglHandle
As part of the on going, incremental effort to purge the non type safe
CoglHandle type from the Cogl API this patch tackles most of the
CoglHandle uses relating to textures.

We'd postponed making this change for quite a while because we wanted to
have a clearer understanding of how we wanted to evolve the texture APIs
towards Cogl 2.0 before exposing type safety here which would be
difficult to change later since it would imply breaking APIs.

The basic idea that we are steering towards now is that CoglTexture
can be considered to be the most primitive interface we have for any
object representing a texture. The texture interface would provide
roughly these methods:

  cogl_texture_get_width
  cogl_texture_get_height
  cogl_texture_can_repeat
  cogl_texture_can_mipmap
  cogl_texture_generate_mipmap;
  cogl_texture_get_format
  cogl_texture_set_region
  cogl_texture_get_region

Besides the texture interface we will then start to expose types
corresponding to specific texture types: CoglTexture2D,
CoglTexture3D, CoglTexture2DSliced, CoglSubTexture, CoglAtlasTexture and
CoglTexturePixmapX11.

We will then also expose an interface for the high-level texture types
we have (such as CoglTexture2DSlice, CoglSubTexture and
CoglAtlasTexture) called CoglMetaTexture. CoglMetaTexture is an
additional interface that lets you iterate a virtual region of a meta
texture and get mappings of primitive textures to sub-regions of that
virtual region. Internally we already have this kind of abstraction for
dealing with sliced texture, sub-textures and atlas textures in a
consistent way, so this will just make that abstraction public. The aim
here is to clarify that there is a difference between primitive textures
(CoglTexture2D/3D) and some of the other high-level textures, and also
enable developers to implement primitives that can support meta textures
since they can only be used with the cogl_rectangle API currently.

The thing that's not so clean-cut with this are the texture constructors
we have currently; such as cogl_texture_new_from_file which no longer
make sense when CoglTexture is considered to be an interface.  These
will basically just become convenient factory functions and it's just a
bit unusual that they are within the cogl_texture namespace.  It's worth
noting here that all the texture type APIs will also have their own type
specific constructors so these functions will only be used for the
convenience of being able to create a texture without really wanting to
know the details of what type of texture you need.  Longer term for 2.0
we may come up with replacement names for these factory functions or the
other thing we are considering is designing some asynchronous factory
functions instead since it's so often detrimental to application
performance to be blocked waiting for a texture to be uploaded to the
GPU.

2059ae3ac8 Add internal _cogl_push_source to optionally disable legacy state
Some code in Cogl such as when flushing a stencil clip assumes that it
can push a temporary simple pipeline to reset to a known state for
internal drawing operations. However this breaks down if the
application has set any legacy state because that is set globally so
it will also get applied to the internal pipeline.

_cogl_draw_attributes already had an internal flag to disable applying
the legacy state but I think this is quite awkward to use because not
all places that push a pipeline draw the attribute buffers directly so
it is difficult to pass the flag down through the layers.

Conceptually the legacy state is meant to be like a layer on top of
the purely pipeline-based state API so I think ideally we should have
an internal function to push the source without the applying the
legacy state. The legacy state can't be applied as the pipeline is
pushed because the global state can be modified even after it is
pushed. This patch adds a _cogl_push_source() function which takes an
extra boolean flag to mark whether to enable the legacy state. The
value of this flag is stored alongside the pipeline in the pipeline
stack. Another new internal function called
_cogl_get_enable_legacy_state queries whether the top entry in the
pipeline stack has legacy state enabled. cogl-primitives and the
vertex array drawing code now use this to determine whether to apply
the legacy state when drawing. The COGL_DRAW_SKIP_LEGACY_STATE flag is
now removed.

e81c1f3e9a cogl-journal: Fix software clipping for non-intersecting rectangles
When the clip contains two rectangles which do not intersect it was
generating a clip bounds where the bottom-right corner was above or to
the left of the top-left corner. This would end up allowing the pixels
between the two rectangles instead of clipping everything like it
should. To fix this there is now an extra check which detects this
situation and just clears the clip bounds to all zeroes in a similar
way to what cogl-clip-stack does.

b2e735ff7f Dynamically load the GL or GLES library
The GL or GLES library is now dynamically loaded by the CoglRenderer
so that it can choose between GL, GLES1 and GLES2 at runtime. The
library is loaded by the renderer because it needs to be done before
calling eglInitialize. There is a new environment variable called
COGL_DRIVER to choose between gl, gles1 or gles2.

The #ifdefs for HAVE_COGL_GL, HAVE_COGL_GLES and HAVE_COGL_GLES2 have
been changed so that they don't assume the ifdefs are mutually
exclusive. They haven't been removed entirely so that it's possible to
compile the GLES backends without the the enums from the GL headers.

When using GLX the winsys additionally dynamically loads libGL because
that also contains the GLX API. It can't be linked in directly because
that would probably conflict with the GLES API if the EGL is
selected. When compiling with EGL support the library links directly
to libEGL because it doesn't contain any GL API so it shouldn't have
any conflicts.

When building for WGL or OSX Cogl still directly links against the GL
API so there is a #define in config.h so that Cogl won't try to dlopen
the library.

Cogl-pango previously had a #ifdef to detect when the GL backend is
used so that it can sneakily pass GL_QUADS to
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw. This is now changed so that it queries the
CoglContext for the backend. However to get this to work Cogl now
needs to export the _cogl_context_get_default symbol and cogl-pango
needs some extra -I flags to so that it can include
cogl-context-private.h

efadc439a4 cogl-journal: Use a pool of vertex arrays
Previously whenever the journal is flushed a new vertex array would be
created to contain the vertices. To avoid the overhead of reallocating
a buffer every time, this patch makes it use a pool of 8 buffers which
are cycled in turn. The buffers are never destroyed but instead the
data is replaced. The journal should only ever be using one buffer at
a time but we cache more than one buffer anyway in case the GL driver
is internally using the buffer in which case mapping the buffer may
cause it to create a new buffer anyway.

b3d9f313d4 util: tune point_in_poly test for polys in screen coords
This makes a change to the original point_in_poly algorithm from:
http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/Homepages/wrf/Research/Short_Notes/pnpoly.html

The aim was to tune the test so that tests against screen aligned
rectangles are more resilient to some in-precision in how we transformed
that rectangle into screen coordinates. In particular gnome-shell was
finding that for some stage sizes then row 0 of the stage would become a
dead zone when going through the software picking fast-path and this was
because the y position of screen aligned rectangles could end up as
something like 0.00024 and the way the algorithm works it doesn't have
any epsilon/fuz factor to consider that in-precision.

We've avoided introducing an epsilon factor to the comparisons since we
feel there's a risk of changing some semantics in ways that might not be
desirable. One of those is that if you transform two polygons which
share an edge and test a point close to that edge then this algorithm
will currently give a positive result for only one polygon.

Another concern is the way this algorithm resolves the corner case where
the horizontal ray being cast to count edge crossings may cross directly
through a vertex. The solution is based on the "idea of Simulation of
Simplicity" and "pretends to shift the ray infinitesimally down so that
it either clearly intersects, or clearly doesn't touch". I'm not
familiar with the idea myself so I expect a misplaced epsilon is likely
to break that aspect of the algorithm.

The simple solution this patch applies is to pixel align the polygon
vertices which should eradicate most noise due to in-precision.

a067e7a16b cogl-framebuffer: Separate the draw and read buffer
The current framebuffer is now internally separated so that there can
be a different draw and read buffer. This is required to use the
GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit extension. The current draw and read buffers
are stored as a pair in a single stack so that pushing the draw and
read buffer is done simultaneously with the new
_cogl_push_framebuffers internal function. Calling
cogl_pop_framebuffer will restore both the draw and read buffer to the
previous state. The public cogl_push_framebuffer function is layered
on top of the new function so that it just pushes the same buffer for
both drawing and reading.

When flushing the framebuffer state, the cogl_framebuffer_flush_state
function now tackes a pointer to both the draw and the read
buffer. Anywhere that was just flushing the state for the current
framebuffer with _cogl_get_framebuffer now needs to call both
_cogl_get_draw_buffer and _cogl_get_read_buffer.

a8d6c3f686 cogl: Implements a software only read-pixel fast-path
This adds a transparent optimization to cogl_read_pixels for when a
single pixel is being read back and it happens that all the geometry of
the current frame is still available in the framebuffer's associated
journal.

The intention is to indirectly optimize Clutter's render based picking
mechanism in such a way that the 99% of cases where scenes are comprised
of trivial quad primitives that can easily be intersected we can avoid
the latency of kicking a GPU render and blocking for the result when we
know we can calculate the result manually on the CPU probably faster
than we could even kick a render.

A nice property of this solution is that it maintains all the
flexibility of the render based picking provided by Clutter and it can
gracefully fall back to GPU rendering if actors are drawn using anything
more complex than a quad for their geometry.

It seems worth noting that there is a limitation to the extensibility of
this approach in that it can only optimize picking a against geometry
that passes through Cogl's journal which isn't something Clutter
directly controls.  For now though this really doesn't matter since
basically all apps should end up hitting this fast-path. The current
idea to address this longer term would be a pick2 vfunc for ClutterActor
that can support geometry and render based input regions of actors and
move this optimization up into Clutter instead.

Note: currently we don't have a primitive count threshold to consider
that there could be scenes with enough geometry for us to compensate for
the cost of kicking a render and determine a result more efficiently by
utilizing the GPU. We don't currently expect this to be common though.

Note: in the future it could still be interesting to revive something
like the wip/async-pbo-picking branch to provide an asynchronous
read-pixels based optimization for Clutter picking in cases where more
complex input regions that necessitate rendering are in use or if we do
add a threshold for rendering as mentioned above.

from a framebuffer when we know the whole scene is currently comprised

3b3cfe1824 cogl-vertex-attribute: Optionally avoid applying the legacy state

gets the legacy state applied to it and the modified pipeline is
logged instead of the original. However the actual drawing from the
journal is done using the vertex attribute API which was also applying

combination of the state set when the journal entry was added as well
as the state set when the journal is flushed. To fix this there is now
an extra CoglDrawFlag to avoid applying the legacy state when setting
up the GL state for the vertex attributes. The journal uses this flag
when flushing.

enabled then we can't determine if the colors are opaque so we have to

switching color state between rectangles. Since the journal switched
to using vertex attributes this means we effectively always enable
blending from the journal. To fix this there is now a new flag for
_cogl_draw_vertex_attributes to specify that the color array is known
to only contain opaque colors which causes the draw function not to
copy the pipeline. If the pipeline has blending disabled then the
journal passes this flag.

1d88e6c8ac cogl-journal: Attempt to clip manually to avoid breaking up batches
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.

b14c2f799c cogl-journal: Defer expanding the vertices until uploading
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.

649aaffbe9 journal: remove possability of fallback layers
When logging quads in the journal it used to be possible to specify a
mask of fallback layers (layers where a default white texture should be
used in-place of the corresponding texture in the current source
pipeline). Since we now handle fallbacks for cogl_rectangle* primitives
when validating the pipeline up-front before logging in the journal we
no longer need the ability for the journal to apply fallbacks too.

1a3f946cc6 cogl: remove WrapModeOverrides from FlushOptions
This removes the possibility to specify wrap mode overrides within a
CoglPipelineFlushOptions struct since the right way to handle these
overrides is by copying the user's material and making the changes to
that copy before flushing. All primitives code has already switched away
from using these wrap mode overrides so this patch just removes unused
code and types. It also remove the wrap_mode_overrides argument for
_cogl_journal_log_quad.

982f1b4bd0 vertex-array: Adds data arg for _vertex_array_new()
This adds an optional data argument for cogl_vertex_array_new() since it
seems that mostly every case where we use this API we follow up with a
cogl_buffer_set_data() matching the size of the new array. This
simplifies all those cases and whenever we want to delay uploading of
data then NULL can simply be passed.

22c61c5315 cogl-pipeline: Use layer overrides as CoglHandles instead of GLuint
Since d5634e37 the sliced texture backend now works in terms of
CoglTexture2Ds so there's no need to have special casing for
overriding the texture of a pipeline layer with a GL handle. Instead
we can just use cogl_pipeline_set_layer_texture with the
CoglHandle. The special _cogl_pipeline_set_layer_gl_texture_slice
function has now been removed and parts of the code for comparing
materials have been simplified.

3c8c195115 cogl-journal: Log the clip state in the journal
When adding a new entry to the journal a reference is now taken on the
current clip stack. Modifying the current clip state no longer causes
a journal flush. The journal flushing code now has an extra stage to
compare the clip state of each entry. The comparison can simply be
done by comparing the pointers. Although different clip states will
still end up with multiple draw calls this at leasts allows a scene
comprising of multiple different clips to be upload with one vbo. It
also lays the groundwork to do certain tricks when drawing clipped
rectangles such as modifying the geometry instead of setting a clip
state.

6027aa04a4 cogl-buffer: Use void* instead of guint8* for map and set_data
Unless the CoglBuffer is being used for texture data then it's
relatively unlikely that the data will contain an array of bytes. For
example if it's used as a vertex array then it's more likely to be
floats or some vertex struct. In that case it's much more convenient
if set_data and map use void* pointers so that we can avoid a cast.

f80cb197a9 cogl: rename CoglMaterial -> CoglPipeline
This applies an API naming change that's been deliberated over for a
while now which is to rename CoglMaterial to CoglPipeline.

For now the new pipeline API is marked as experimental and public
headers continue to talk about materials not pipelines. The CoglMaterial
API is now maintained in terms of the cogl_pipeline API internally.
Currently this API is targeting Cogl 2.0 so we will have time to
integrate it properly with other upcoming Cogl 2.0 work.

The basic reasons for the rename are:
- That the term "material" implies to many people that they are
  constrained to fragment processing; perhaps as some kind of high-level
  texture abstraction.
    - In Clutter they get exposed by ClutterTexture actors which may be
      re-inforcing this misconception.
- When comparing how other frameworks use the term material, a material
  sometimes describes a multi-pass fragment processing technique which
  isn't the case in Cogl.
- In code, "CoglPipeline" will hopefully be a much more self documenting
  summary of what these objects represent; a full GPU pipeline
  configuration including, for example, vertex processing, fragment
  processing and blending.
- When considering the API documentation story, at some point we need a
  document introducing developers to how the "GPU pipeline" works so it
  should become intuitive that CoglPipeline maps back to that
  description of the GPU pipeline.
- This is consistent in terminology and concept to OpenGL 4's new
  pipeline object which is a container for program objects.

Note: The cogl-material.[ch] files have been renamed to
cogl-material-compat.[ch] because otherwise git doesn't seem to treat
the change as a moving the old cogl-material.c->cogl-pipeline.c and so
we loose all our git-blame history.
