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.
This adds a flag to avoid flushing the clip state when flushing the
framebuffer state. This will be used by the journal to manage its own
clip state flushing.
Flushing the clip state no longer does anything that would cause the
journal to flush. The clip state is only flushed when flushing the
framebuffer state and in all cases this ends up flushing the journal
in one way or another anyway. Avoiding flushing the journal will make
it easier to log the clip state in the journal.
Previously when trying to set up a rectangle clip that can't be
scissored or when using a path clip the code would use cogl_rectangle
as part of the process to fill the stencil buffer. This is now changed
to use a new internal _cogl_rectangle_immediate function which
directly uses the vertex array API to draw a triangle strip without
affecting the journal. This should be just as efficient as the
previous journalled code because these places would end up flushing
the journal immediately before and after submitting the single
rectangle anyway and flushing the journal always creates a new vbo so
it would effectively do the same thing.
Similarly there is also a new internal _cogl_clear function that does
not flush the journal.
Previously we tracked whether the clip stack needs flushing as part of
the CoglClipState which is part of the CoglFramebuffer state. This is
a bit odd because most of the clipping state (such as the clip planes
and the scissor) are part of the GL context's state rather than the
framebuffer. We were marking the clip state on the framebuffer dirty
every time we change the framebuffer anyway so it seems to make more
sense to have the dirtiness be part of the global context.
Instead of a just a single boolean to record whether the state needs
flushing, the CoglContext now holds a reference to the clip stack that
was flushed. That way we can flush arbitrary stack states and if it
happens to be the same as the state already flushed then Cogl will do
nothing. This will be useful if we log the clip stack in the journal
because then we will need to flush unrelated clip stack states for
each batch.
Instead of having a separate CoglHandle for CoglClipStack the code is
now expected to directly hold a pointer to the top entry on the
stack. The empty stack is then the NULL pointer. This saves an
allocation when we want to copy the stack because we can just take a
reference on a stack entry. The idea is that this will make it
possible to store the clip stack in the journal without any extra
allocations.
The _cogl_get_clip_stack and set functions now take a CoglClipStack
pointer instead of a handle so it would no longer make sense to make
them public. However I think the only reason we would have wanted that
in the first place would be to save the clip state between switching
FBOs and that is no longer necessary.
CoglVertexAttribute has an internal draw function that is used by the
CoglJournal to avoid the call to cogl_journal_flush which would
otherwise end up recursively flushing the journal forever. The
enable_gl_state function called by this was previously also calling
_cogl_flush_framebuffer_state. However the journal code tries to
handle this function specially by calling it with a flag to disable
flushing the modelview matrix. This is useful because the journal
handles flushing the modelview itself. Without this patch the journal
state ends up getting flushed twice. This isn't a particularly big
problem currently because the matrix stack has caching to recognise
when it would push the same state twice and bails out. However if we
later want to use the framebuffer flush flags to override a particular
state of the framebuffer (such as the clip state) then we need to make
sure the flush isn't called twice.
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.
The convenience constructors for the builtin vertex structs were
creating the primitive and then immediately destroying it and
returning the pointer. I think the intention was to unref the
attributes instead. This adds an internal wrapper around the
new_with_attributes_array constructor which unrefs the attributes
instead of the primitive. The convenience constructors now use that.
The GLES2 wrapper was referring to COGL_MATERIAL_PROGRAM_TYPE_GLSL but
this has since been renamed to COGL_PIPELINE_PROGRAM_TYPE_GLSL so the
GLES2 backend wouldn't compile.
The gles2 wrapper functions don't understand about the CoglBuffer API so
they don't support attributes stored in a CoglVertexArray. Instead of
teaching the backend about buffers we are going to wait until we have
overhauled the GLES 2 backend. We are currently making progress
consolidating the GLES 2 backend with a new GLSL backend for
CoglMaterial. This will hugely simplify the GLES 2 support and share
code with the OpenGL backend. In the end it's hoped that this problem
will simply go away so it doesn't make much sense to solve it with the
current design.
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.
Instead of using the CoglHandle type for material variables this updates
the pango code to use CoglMaterial * instead. CoglHandle is the old
typename which is being phased out of the API.
The pango-display-list code was calling cogl_set_source in numerous
places and it didn't appear to be saving the users source to restore
later. This could result in the user inadvertantly drawing a primitive
with one of these internally managed materials instead of one that they
chose. To rectify this the code now uses cogl_{push,pop}_source to save
and restore the users source.
This updates the implementation of cogl_polygon so it sits on the new
CoglVertexArray and CoglVertexAttribute apis. This lets us minimize the
number of different drawing paths we have to maintain in Cogl.
Since the sliced texture support for cogl_polygon has been broken for a
long time now and no one has complained this patch also greatly
simplifies the code by not doing any special material validation so
cogl_polygon will be restricted in the same way as
cogl_draw_vertex_attributes. (i.e. sliced textures not supported).
Instead of using raw OpenGL in the journal we now use the vertex
attributes API instead. This is part of an ongoing effort to reduce the
number of drawing paths we maintain in Cogl.
The functionality of cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_get_for_quads is now
provided by cogl_get_rectangle_indices so this reworks the former to now
work in terms of the latter so we don't have duplicated logic.
As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of draw paths we have
in Cogl this re-works CoglVertexBuffer to use the CoglVertexAttribute
and CoglPrimitive APIs instead of using raw GL.
This adds a way to mark that a primitive is in use so that modifications
will generate a warning. The plan is to use this mechanism when batching
primitives in the journal to warn users that mid-scene modifications of
primitives is not allowed.
This adds convenience primitive constructors named like:
cogl_primitive_new_p3 or
cogl_primitive_new_p3c4 or
cogl_primitive_new_p3t2c4
where the letters correspond to the interleved vertex attributes layouts
such as CoglP3Vertex which is a struct with 3 float x,y,z members for
the [p]osition, or CoglP3T2C4Vertex which is a struct with 3 float x,y,z
members for the [p]osition, 2 float s,t members for the [t]exture
coordinates and 4 unsigned byte r,g,b,a members for the [c]olor.
The hope is that people will find these convenient enough to replace
cogl_polygon.
A CoglPrimitive is a retainable object for drawing a single primitive,
such as a triangle strip, fan or list.
CoglPrimitives build on CoglVertexAttributes and CoglIndices which
themselves build on CoglVertexArrays and CoglIndexArrays respectively.
A CoglPrimitive encapsulates enough information such that it can be
retained in a queue (e.g. the Cogl Journal, or renderlists in the
future) and drawn at some later time.
A CoglVertexAttribute defines a single attribute contained in a
CoglVertexArray. I.e. a CoglVertexArray is simply a buffer of N bytes
intended for containing a collection of attributes (position, color,
normals etc) and a CoglVertexAttribute defines one such attribute by
specifying its start offset in the array, its type, the number of
components and the stride etc.
CoglIndices define a range of indices inside a CoglIndexArray. I.e. a
CoglIndexArray is simply a buffer of N bytes and you can then
instantiate multiple CoglIndices collections that define a sub-region of
a CoglIndexArray by specifying a start offset and an index data type.
This adds a new CoglVertexArray object which is a subclass of CoglBuffer
used to hold vertex attributes. A later commit will add a
CoglVertexAttribute API which will be used to describe the attributes
inside a CoglVertexArray.
A CoglIndexArray is a subclass of CoglBuffer and will be used to hold
vertex indices. A later commit will add a CoglIndices API which will
allow describing a range of indices inside a CoglIndexArray.
This adds an internal mechanism to mark that a buffer is in-use so that
a warning can be generated if the user attempts to modify the buffer.
The plans is for the journal to use this mechanism so that we can warn
users about mid-scene modifications of buffers.
We now make _cogl_buffer_bind return a base pointer for the bound buffer
which can be used with OpenGL. The pointer will be NULL for GPU based
buffers or may point to an malloc'd buffer. Since OpenGL expects an
offset instead of a pointer when dealing with buffer objects this means
we can handle fallback malloc buffers and GPU buffers in a consistent
way.
This allows _cogl_material_flush_gl_state to bail out faster if
repeatedly asked to flush the same material and we can see the material
hasn't changed.
Since we can rely on the material age incrementing when any material
property changes or any associated layer property changes then we can
track the age of the material after flushing so it can be compared with
the age of the material if it is subsequently re-flushed. If the age is
the same we only have to re-assert the texture object state.
MaterialNodes are used for the sparse graph of material state and layer
state. In the case of materials there is the idea of weak materials that
don't take a reference on their parent and in that case we need to be
careful not to unref our parent during
_cogl_material_node_unparent_real. This adds a has_parent_reference
member to the CoglMaterialNode struct so we now know when to skip the
unref.
If there is private data associated with a CoglObject then there may be
a user_data_array that needs to be freed. The code was mistakenly
freeing the array inside the loop that was actually iterating over the
user data array notifying the objects destruction instead of waiting
until all the data entries had been destroyed.
Once an actor had _clutter_stage_queue_redraw_entry_invalidate()
called on it once, then priv->queue_redraw_entry would point to
an entry with entry->actor NULL. _clutter_stage_queue_actor_redraw()
doesn't handle this case and no further redraws would be queued.
To fix this, NULL out priv->queue_redraw_entry() and then make sure
we free the invalidated entry in
_clutter_stage_maybe_finish_queue_redraws() just as we do for
still valid entries.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2389
Previously when trying to destroy all of the stages in the backend
dispose function it would poke directly in the ClutterStageManager
struct to get the list. In 8613013ab0 the defintion of
ClutterStageManager moved to a different header which isn't included
by the Win32 backend so it wouldn't compile. In that commit the X11
backend was changed to unref the stage manager instead of poking in
the internals so we should do the same for the win32 backend.
One of the ideas behind _internal() functions is to be able to have a
version of the original one without checks (among other things). As
these functions are either static or private to the library, we control
the arguments given to it, and thus no need for checking them again
here.
Telling the user about files not found when loading a ClutterScript with
ClutterTextures in it is very useful and can save a few minutes (or
hours) of frustation because it "does not work".
This merges the two implementations of CoglProgram for the GLES2 and
GL backends into one. The implementation is more like the GLES2
version which would track the uniform values and delay sending them to
GL. CoglProgram is now effectively just a GList of CoglShaders along
with an array of stored uniform values. CoglProgram never actually
creates a GL program, instead this is left up to the GLSL material
backend. This is necessary on GLES2 where we may need to relink the
user's program with different generated shaders depending on the other
emulated fixed function state. It will also be necessary in the future
GLSL backends for regular OpenGL. The GLSL and ARBfp material backends
are now the ones that create and link the GL program from the list of
shaders. The linked program is attached to the private material state
so that it can be reused if the CoglProgram is used again with the
same material. This does mean the program will get relinked if the
shader is used with multiple materials. This will be particularly bad
if the legacy cogl_program_use function is used because that
effectively always makes one-shot materials. This problem will
hopefully be alleviated if we make a hash table with a cache of
generated programs. The cogl program would then need to become part of
the hash lookup.
Each CoglProgram now has an age counter which is incremented every
time a shader is added. This is used by the material backends to
detect when we need to create a new GL program for the user program.
The internal _cogl_use_program function now takes a GL program handle
rather than a CoglProgram. It no longer needs any special differences
for GLES2. The GLES2 wrapper function now also uses this function to
bind its generated shaders.
The ARBfp shaders no longer store a copy of the program source but
instead just directly create a program object when cogl_shader_source
is called. This avoids having to reupload the source if the same
shader is used in multiple materials.
There are currently a few gross hacks to get the GLES2 backend to work
with this. The problem is that the GLSL material backend is now
generating a complete GL program but the GLES2 wrapper still needs to
add its fixed function emulation shaders if the program doesn't
provide either a vertex or fragment shader. There is a new function in
the GLES2 wrapper called _cogl_gles2_use_program which replaces the
previous cogl_program_use implementation. It extracts the GL shaders
from the GL program object and creates a new GL program containing all
of the shaders plus its fixed function emulation. This new program is
returned to the GLSL material backend so that it can still flush the
custom uniforms using it. The user_program is attached to the GLES2
settings struct as before but its stored using a GL program handle
rather than a CoglProgram pointer. This hack will go away once the
GLSL material backend replaces the GLES2 wrapper by generating the
code itself.
Under Mesa this currently generates some GL errors when glClear is
called in test-cogl-shader-glsl. I think this is due to a bug in Mesa
however. When the user program on the material is changed the GLSL
backend gets notified and deletes the GL program that it linked from
the user shaders. The program will still be bound in GL
however. Leaving a deleted shader bound exposes a bug in Mesa's
glClear implementation. More details are here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31194
Previously cogl_set_source_color and cogl_set_source_texture modified
a single global material. If an application then mixes using
cogl_set_source_color and texture then the material will constantly
need a new ARBfp program because the numbers of layers alternates
between 0 and 1. This patch just adds a second global material that is
only used for cogl_set_source_texture. I think it would still end up
flushing the journal if cogl_set_source_texture is used with multiple
different textures but at least it should avoid a recompile unless the
texture target also changes. It might be nice to somehow attach a
material to the CoglTexture for use with cogl_set_source_texture but
it would be difficult to implement this without creating a circular
reference.
This moves the CoglIndicesType and CoglVerticesMode typedefs from
cogl-vertex-buffer.h to cogl-types.h so they can be shared with the
anticipated cogl vertex attribute API.
This renames the BufferBindTarget + BufferUsageHint enums to match the
anticipated new APIs for "index arrays" and "vertex arrays" as opposed
to using the terms "vertices" or "indices".
previously we would silently bail out if the given offset + data size
would overflow the buffer size. Now we use g_return_val_if_fail so we
get a warning if we hit this case.
This adds a store_created bit field to CoglBuffer so we know if the
underlying buffer has been allocated yet. Previously the code was trying
to do something really wrong by accidentally using the
COGL_PIXEL_ARRAY_FLAG_IS_SET macro (note "PIXEL_ARRAY") and what is more
odd was the declaration of a CoglPixelArray *pixel_array in
cogl-buffer.c which the buffer was being cast too before calling using
the macro. Probably this was the fall-out of some previous code
re-factoring.
All the macros get used for are to |= (a new flag bit), &= ~(a flag bit)
or use the & operator to test if a flag bit is set. I haven't found the
code more readable with these macros, but several times now I've felt
the need to double check if these macros do anything else behind the
hood or I've forgotten what flags are available so I've had to go to the
macro definition to see what the full enum names are for the flags (the
macros use symbol concatenation) so I can search for the definition of
all the flags. It turns out they are defined next to the macro so you
don't have to search far, but without the macro that wouldn't have been
necessary.
The more common use of the _IS_SET macro is actually more concise
expanded and imho since it doesn't hide anything in a separate header
file the code is more readable without the macro.
This is a counter part for _cogl_material_layer_get_texture which takes
a layer index instead of a direct CoglMaterialLayer pointer. The aim is
to phase out code that directly iterates the internal layer pointers of
a material since the layer pointers can change if any property of any
layer is changed making direct layer pointers very fragile.
This adds internal _cogl_material_get_layer_filters and
_cogl_material_get_layer_{min,mag}_filter functions which can be used to
query the filters associated with a layer using a layer_index, as
opposed to a layer pointer. Accessing layer pointers is considered
deprecated so we need to provide layer_index based replacements.
When we come to submitting the users given attributes we sort them into
different types of buffers. Previously we had three types; strided,
unstrided and multi-pack. Really though unstrided was just a limited
form of multi-pack buffer and didn't imply any hind of special
optimization so this patch consolidates some code by reducing to just
two types; strided and multi-pack.
This is a counter part for _cogl_material_layer_pre_paint which takes a
layer index instead of a direct CoglMaterialLayer pointer. The aim is to
phase out code that directly iterates the internal layer pointers of a
material since the layer pointers can change if any property of any
layer is changed making direct layer pointers very fragile.
This exposes the idea of a stack of source materials instead of just
having a single current material. This allows the writing of orthogonal
code that can change the current source material and restore it to its
previous state. It also allows the implementation of new composite
primitives that may want to validate the current source material and
possibly make override changes in a derived material.

Correct the argument order and replace all occurrences of
clutter_state_change() with the appropriate clutter_state_set_state() or
clutter_state_warp_to_state().
If you warp to a state, it should be immediately set. Check if the
animation is in progress when warping to a state and don't short-circuit
in the already-set check if we're not animating.
Add special behaviour when you set the key of the current target state:
- If the state is transitioning, add/modify the interval so that the new
key transitions from the current time (taking into account pre-delay) to
its target final property
- If the state is set but has already finished animating/was warped to,
set the property immediately
If ClutterState is in the middle of a transition and you remove all the
keys from the target state, the target state will be destroyed without
stopping the animation/unsetting the target state. This caused an invalid
memory access.
Allow setting a %NULL state. This has the effect of unsetting the current
state and stopping all animation. This allows you to, for example, start
a state transition, set the state to NULL, alter the state transition
and then resume it again, by just setting it.

ClutterPathConstraint is a simple Constraint implementation that
modifies the allocation of the Actor to which is has been applied using
a progress value and a ClutterPath.
There was previously a flag that gets set when this function was
called but nothing checked it so the function effectively did
nothing. Also the flag was a member of the backend struct but this
can't be used because the function should be called before
clutter_init so the backend is not ready yet. This patch makes the
event disabling work more like the X11 backend and set a global
variable instead.
This function handles a single windows message. The idea is that it
could be used by clutter-gtk to forward on events from a
GdkEventFilter. The function replaces the old message_translate()
function. That function didn't translate the event anymore anyway and
instead it could generate multiple events so
clutter_win32_handle_event seems like a more appropriate name. The
function returns TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the event was
completely handled instead of setting call_window_proc.
When handling an allocation on the stage, Clutter uses the oppurtunity
to inform Cogl of the new size of the framebuffer so that it can
handle the viewport correctly. It queries the size of the window
implementation using a backend virtual function. However it was doing
this before letting the backend handle the allocation so on Win32 it
would end up using the previous framebuffer size. This wasn't
affecting the X11 backend because in that case the resizes are
asynchronous so setting the stage size causes one allocation which
ends up sending a window size request. Eventually a ConfigureNotify is
received which causes the size of the stage to be set again and
another allocation is fired meaning the framebuffer size will be set
again this time with the correct size. In Win32 the resizes are
synchronous so we don't have this second allocation.
When compiling for non-glx platforms the winsys feature data array
ends up empty. Empty arrays cause problems for MSVC so this patch adds
a stub entry so that the array always has at least one entry.
Based on a patch by Ole André Vadla Ravnås
There was an array whose length was define by a static const int
variable. GCC seems to consider this a variable-length array so it
will cause warnings now that -Wvla is enabled. We might as well make
this constant a #define instead to avoid the warning.
Instead of directly manipulating GL textures itself,
CoglTexture2DSliced now works in terms of CoglHandles. It creates the
texture slices using cogl_texture_new_with_size which should always
end up creating a CoglTexture2D because the size should fit. This
allows us to avoid replicating some code such as the first pixel
mipmap tracking and it better enforces the separation that each
texture backend is the only place that contains code dealing with each
texture target.
This adds two new internal functions to create a foreign texture for
the texture 2d and rectangle backends. cogl_texture_new_from_foreign
will now use one of these backends directly if there is no waste
instead of always using the sliced texture backend.
Move the private Backend API to a separate header.
This also allows us to finally move the class vtable and instance
structure to a separate file and plug the visibility hole that left
the Backend class bare for everyone to poke into.
Since we allow compiling Clutter without the XComposite extension
available, we need to protect the calls to the XComposite API with
the guards provided by the configure script.
Currently, the memory management in ClutterScript is overly complicated.
The basic design tenet should be:
- ClutterScript owns a reference on every object it creates
This allows the Script instance to reliably handle the lifetime of the
instances from creation to disposal.
In case of unmerge, the Script instance should destroy any Actor
instance, except for the Stage, and release the reference it owns. The
Stage is special because it's really owned by Clutter itself, and it
should be destroyed explicitly.
When disposing the Script itself, it should just release the reference;
any parented actor, or any InitiallyUnowned instance, will then be
managed by the parent object, as they should, while every GObject
instance will go away, as documented.
This commit is based on a patch by:
Henrik Hedberg <hhedberg@innologies.fi>
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2316
By using a new signal, ::create-surface (width, height), it should be
possible for third party code and sub-classes to override the default
surface creation code in CairoSurface.
This commit takes a bit of the patch from:
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1878
which cleans up CairoTexture; the idea, mutuated from that bug, is that
the CairoTexture actor checks whether the surface it has it's an image
one, and in that case it uses a Cogl texture as the backing store. In
case the surface is not an image one we assume that the surface itself
has some way of updating the GL state and flush the surface.
Always use pageflipping, but avoid full repaint by copying back dirty
regions from front to back. Additionally, we dealy copying back until
we're ready to paint the new frame, so we can avoid copying areas that
will be repainted anyway.
This is the least amount of copying per frame we can get away with at all
and at the same time we don't have to worry about stalling the GPU on
synchronized blits since we always pageflip.
When we don't use a window system drawable, we can't query the color
masks at context initialization time. Do it lazily so we're sure to have
a current context with a valid framebuffer.
We need to make sure that redraws queued for actors on a stage are for
actors actually in the stage. So in clutter_actor_unparent() descend
through the children and remove redraws. Just removing the actor itself
isn't good enough since an entire hierarchy can be removed from the
stage without breaking it up into individual actors.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2359
This is based on an original patch from Owen Taylor who debugged the
root cause of this bug; thanks.
In the case that an unclipped redraw of an actor is queued after a
clipped we should update any existing ClutterStageQueueRedrawEntry
so entry->has_clip = FALSE and free the previous clip.
Instead of using the allocation-changed signal, use the queue-relayout
signal on the source to queue a relayout on the actor to which the
BindConstraint has been attached to.
The ::allocation-changed signal is not always enough, given that a
BindConstraint can use the position as well as the size of an actor to
drive the allocation of another; in this regard, it's much similar
to a ClutterClone, which requires a notification on every change, even
potential, and not just real ones, given the short-circuiting done
inside ClutterActor.
Instead of delegating the check for the ActorMeta:enabled property to
the sub-classes of ClutterActorMeta, ClutterActor can do the check prior
to using the ClutterActorMeta instances.
The interpolate() method does what it says on the tin: it interpolates
between two colors using the given factor.
ClutterColor uses it to register a progress function for Intervals.
When picking a size for the last slice in a texture, Cogl would always
pick the biggest power of two size that doesn't create too much
waste and is less than or equal to the previous slice size. However
this can end up creating a texture that is bigger than needed if there
is a smaller power of two.
For example, if the maximum waste is 127 (the current default) and we
try to create a texture that is 257 pixels wide it will decide that
the next power of two (512) is too much waste (255) so it will create
the first slice at 256 pixels wide. Then we only have 1 pixel left to
allocate but Cogl would pick the next smaller size that has a small
enough waste which is 128. But of course 1 is already a power of two
so that's redundantly oversized by 127.
This patch fixes it so that whenever it finds a size that would be big
enough, instead of using exactly that it picks the next power of two
up from the size we need to fill.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2355
A Clone:source property might be NULL, and we should not penalize
performance when we can just bail out early, because that would kind of
defeat the point.
Whenever the allocation is changed on a child of a ClutterTableLayout
and animations are not in effect then it would store a copy of the
allocation in the child meta data. However it was not freeing the old
copy of the allocation so it would end up with a small leak.
Instead of just changing it to free the old value this patch makes it
store the allocation inline in the meta data struct because it seems
that the size of an actor box is already quite small compared to the
size of the meta data struct so it is probably not worth having a
separate allocation for it. To detect the case when there has not yet
been an allocation a separate boolean is used instead of storing NULL.

All the nifty things you discover when translating strings not exposed
to anyone. First the clutter-wide record of the number of typos in one
string. Second, ClutterTexture happened to have the only property blurbs
ending with a '.', remove them.
the "position" property of ClutterText is really the position of the
cursor. Rename the nick accordingly not to confuse it with the position
of the actor itself and be consistent with all the other cursor-related
properties.
The descriptions for the 'y-align' and 'x-align' properties talk about a
layer and a layer manager. It seems that these properties are the
alignement factors relative to the BinLayout, so document them
accordingly.
There are ordering issues in the pixmap destruction with current and
past X11 server, Mesa and dri2. Under some circumstances, an X pixmap
might be destroyed with the GLX pixmap still referencing it, and thus
the X server will decide to destroy the GLX pixmap as well; then, when
Cogl tries to destroy the GLX pixmap, it gets BadDrawable errors.
Clutter 1.2 used to trap + sync all calls to glXDestroyPixmap(), but
then we assumed that the ordering issue had been solved. So, we're back
to square 1.
I left a Big Fat Comment™ right above the glXDestroyPixmap() call
referencing the bug and the reasoning behind the trap, so that we don't
go and remove it in the future without checking that the issue has been
in fact solved.

After commit 8dd8fbdb some errors appear if you try work directly
against cally:
* cally.pc.in removed some elements. After install clutter, doing
pkg-config --cflags cally-1.0
fails due missing winsys
* cally headers were moved from clutter-1.0/cally to
clutter-1.0/clutter/cally. Applications using it (yes I know,
nobody is officially using it) would require to:
* Change their include.
* Add directly a dependency to cally, in order to use the cally.pc
file with the correct directory include.
Note: Take into account that accessibility support still works (ie:
clutter_get_accessibility_enabled). This bug only prevents
applications to work directly against cally (ie: create a CallyActor
subclass)

Landing the paint-box branch accidentally added two slots to the
ClutterEffectClass vtable, plus the get_paint_volume() function
pointer. This is an ABI break from 1.4.
Like we do for the Quartz backend, we should turn on the -xobjective-c
compiler flag for the Fruity backend.
This does not mean that the backend actually works.
The marshaller was defined as OBJECT,OBJECT,PARAM but the signal
definition used only two arguments. Since the signal never worked
and we never got any report about it, nobody could be possibly
using the ::child-notify signal.
Since we added child properties to the Container interface we made a
guarantee that the ::child-notify signal would be emitted whenever a
property was set using clutter_container_child_set*().
We were lying.
The child_notify virtual function was not implemented, and the signal
was never emitted.
We also used a G_LIKELY() macro while checking for non-NULL on a
function pointer that was by default set to NULL, thus making the
setting of child properties far less efficient than needed.
The clutter stage has a list of entries of actors waiting to be redrawn.
Each entry has a "clip" ClutterPaintVolume member which represents which
how much of the actor needs to get redrawn. It's possible for there to
be no clip associated with the entry. In this case, the clip member is
invalid, the has_clip member should be set to false.
This commit fixes a bug where the has_clip member was not being
initially, explicitly set to false for new entries, and not being
explicitly set to false in the event the clip associated with the entry
is freed.

In all the changes made recently to how we handle redraws and adding
support for paint-volumes we stopped looking at explicit clip regions
passed to _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip.
In _clutter_actor_finish_queue_redraw we had started always trying to
clip the redraw to the paint-volume of the actor, but forgot to consider
that the user may have already determined the clip region for us!
Now we first check if the given clip != NUll and if so we don't need to
calculate the paint-volume of the actor.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2349
One of the later changes made on the paint volume branch before merging
with master was to make paint volumes opt in only since we couldn't make
any safe assumptions about how custom actors may constrain their
painting. We added very conservative implementations for the existing
Clutter actors - including for ClutterTexture which
ClutterX11TexturePixmap is a sub-class of - but we were conservative to
the extent of explicitly checking the GType of the actor so we would
avoid making any assumptions about sub-classes. The upshot was that we
neglected to implement the get_paint_volume vfunc for
ClutterX11TexturePixmap.
This patch provides an implementation that simply reports the actor's
allocation as its paint volume. Also unlike for other core actors it
doesn't explicitly check the GType so we are assuming that all existing
sub-classes of ClutterX11TexturePixmap constrain their drawing to the
actor's transformed allocation. If anyone does want to draw outside the
allocation in future sub-classes, then they should also provide an
updated get_paint_volume implementation.

When using the debug function _cogl_debug_dump_materials_dot_file to
write a dot file representing the sparse graph of material state we now
only show a link between materials and layers when the material directly
owns that layer reference (i.e. just those referenced in
material->layer_differences) This makes it possible to see when
ancestors of a material are being deferred too for layer state.
For example when looking at the graph if you see that a material has an
n_layers of 3 but there is only a link to 2 layers, then you know you
need to look at it's ancestors to find the last layer.
In 4ee05f8e21 the namespace for the clutter keysym macros were
changed to CLUTTER_KEY_* but the win32 events backend was still
referring to the old names.
GObject ≥ 2.26.0 added a nice convenience call for installing properties
from an array of GParamSpec. Since we're already storing all GParamSpec
in an array in order to use them with g_object_notify_by_pspec(), this
turns out nicely for us.
Since we do not depend on GLib 2.26 (yet), we need to provide a simple
private wrapper that implements the fall back to the default
g_object_class_install_property() call.
ClutterDragAction has been converted as a proof of concept.
During destruction, the StageWindow implementation associated to a Stage
might be NULL. We need to add more checks for a) the IN_DESTRUCTION flag
being set and b) the StageWindow pointer being NULL. Otherwise, we will
get warnings during the destruction of the Stage.
Both of the cogl_texture_2d_sliced_new functions called the
slices_create function which creates the underlying GL
textures. However this was also called by init_base so the textures
would end up being created twice. This would make it leak the GL
textures and the arrays which point to them.
The internal copy of JSON-GLib was meant to go away right after the 1.0
release, given that JSON-GLib was still young and relatively unknown.
Nowadays, many projects started depending on this little library, and
distributions ship it and keep it up to date.
Keeping a copy of JSON-GLib means keeping it up to date; unfortunately,
this would also imply updating the code not just for the API but for the
internal implementations.
Starting with the 1.2 release, Clutter preferably dependend on the
system copy; with the 1.4 release we stopped falling back automatically.
The 1.6 cycle finally removes the internal copy and requires a copy of
JSON-GLib installed on the target system in order to compile Clutter.
Since re-working how redraws are queued it is no longer necessary to
dirty the pick buffer in _clutter_actor_real_queue_redraw since this
should now reliably be handled in _clutter_stage_queue_actor_redraw.
This adds two internal functions relating to explicit traversal of the
scenegraph:
_clutter_actor_foreach_child
_clutter_actor_traverse
_clutter_actor_foreach_child just iterates the immediate children of an
actor, and with a new ClutterForeachCallback type it allows the
callbacks to break iteration early.
_clutter_actor_traverse traverses the given actor and all of its
decendants. Again traversal can be stopped early if a callback returns
FALSE.
The first intended use for _clutter_actor_traverse is to maintain a
cache pointer to the stage for all actors. In this case we will need to
update the pointer for all descendants of an actor when an actor is
reparented in any way.
This adds a private getter to query the number of children an actor has.
One use planned for this API is to avoid calling get_paint_volume on
such actors. (It's not clear what the best semantics for
get_paint_volume are for actors with children, so we are considering
leaving the semantics undefined for the initial clutter 1.4 release)
We now explicitly track the list of children each actor has in a private
GList. This gives us a reliable way to know how many children an actor
has - even for composite actors that don't implement the container
interface. This also will allow us to directly traverse the scenegraph
in a more generalized fashion. Previously the scenegraph was
more-or-less represented implicitly according the implementation of
paint methods.
When using the CLUTTER_PAINT=paint-volumes debug option we try and show
when a paint volume couldn't be determined by drawing a blue outline of
the allocation instead. There was a typo though and instead we were
drawing an outline the size of the stage instead of for the given actor.
This fixes that and removes a FIXME comment relating to the blue outline
that is now implemented.
To allow Clutter to queue clipped redraws when a clone actor changes we
need to be able to report a paint volume for clone actors. This patch
makes ClutterClones query the paint volume of their source actor and
masquerade it as their own volume.
This reverts commit ca44c6a7d8abe9f2c548bee817559ea8adaa7a80.
In reality there are probably lots of actors that depend on the exact
semantics as they are documented so this change isn't really acceptable.
For example when the font changes in ClutterText we only queue a
relayout, and since it's possible that the font will have the same size
and the actor won't get a new allocation it wouldn't otherwise queue a
redraw.
Since queue_redraw requests now get deferred until just before a paint
run it is actually no longer a problem to queue the redraw here.
Instead of immediately, recursively emitting the "queue-redraw" signal
when clutter_actor_queue_redraw is called we now defer this process
until all stage updates are complete. This allows us to aggregate
repeated _queue_redraw requests for the same actor avoiding redundant
paint volume transformations. By deferring we also increase the
likelihood that the actor will have a valid paint volume since it will
have an up to date allocation; this in turn means we will more often be
able to automatically queue clipped redraws which can have a big impact
on performance.
Here's an outline of the actor queue redraw mechanism:
The process starts in clutter_actor_queue_redraw or
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip.
These functions queue an entry in a list associated with the stage which
is a list of actors that queued a redraw while updating the timelines,
performing layouting and processing other mainloop sources before the
next paint starts.
We aim to minimize the processing done at this point because there is a
good chance other events will happen while updating the scenegraph that
would invalidate any expensive work we might otherwise try to do here.
For example we don't try and resolve the screen space bounding box of an
actor at this stage so as to minimize how much of the screen redraw
because it's possible something else will happen which will force a full
redraw anyway.
When all updates are complete and we come to paint the stage (see
_clutter_stage_do_update) then we iterate this list and actually emit
the "queue-redraw" signals for each of the listed actors which will
bubble up to the stage for each actor and at that point we will
transform the actors paint volume into screen coordinates to determine
the clip region for what needs to be redrawn in the next paint.
Note: actors are allowed to queue a redraw in reseponse to a
queue-redraw signal so we repeat the processing of the list until it
remains empty. An example of when this happens is for Clone actors or
clutter_texture_new_from_actor actors which need to queue a redraw if
their source queues a redraw.
For Clone actors we will need a way to report the volume of the source
actor as the volume of the clone actor. To make this work though we need
to be able to replace the reference to the source actor with a reference
to the clone actor instead. This adds a private
_clutter_paint_volume_set_reference_actor function to do that.
This adds a way to initialize a paint volume from another source paint
volume. This lets us for instance pass the contents of one paint volume
back through the out param of a get_paint_volume implementation.
This makes clutter_actor_queue_redraw simply bail out early if the actor
isn't a descendant of a ClutterStage since the request isn't meaningful
and it avoids a crash when trying to queue a clipped redraw against the
stage to clear the actors old location.
This splits out all the clutter_paint_volume code from clutter-actor.c
into clutter-paint-volume.c. Since clutter-actor.c and
clutter-paint-volume.c both needed the functionality of
_fully_transform_vertices, this function has now been moved to
clutter-utils.c as _clutter_util_fully_transform_vertices.
There are too many examples where the default assumption that an actor
paints inside its allocation isn't true, so we now return FALSE in the
base implementation instead. This means that by default we are saying
"we don't know the paint volume of the actor", so developers need to
implement the get_paint_volume virtual to take advantage of culling and
clipped redraws with their actors.
This patch provides very conservative get_paint_volume implementations
for ClutterTexture, ClutterCairoTexture, ClutterRectangle and
ClutterText which all explicitly check the actor's object type to avoid
making any assumptions about subclasses.
We were always explicitly checking priv->needs_allocation in
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip, but we only need to do that if
the CLUTTER_REDRAW_CLIPPED_TO_ALLOCATION flag is used.
This initializes priv->last_paint_box with a degenerate box, so a newly
allocated actor added to the scenegraph and made visible only needs to
trigger a redraw of its initial position. If we don't have a valid
last_paint_box though we would instead trigger a full stage redraw.
To make comparing the performance with culling/clipped redraws
enabled/disabled fairer we now avoid querying the paint box when they
are disabled, so that results should reflect how the cost of
transforming paint volumes into screen space etc gets offset against the
benefit of culling.
In clutter_stage_allocate at the end we were always querying the latest
allocation set and using the geometry to assert the viewport and then
kicking a full redraw. These only need to be done when the allocation
really changes, so we now read the previous allocation at the start of
the function and compare at the end. This was stopping clipped redraws
from being used in a lot of cases.
To consider that we've see a number of drivers that can struggle to get
going and may produce a bad first frame we now force the first 2 frames
to be full redraws. This became a serious issue after we started using
clipped redraws more aggressively because we assumed that after the
first frame the full framebuffer was valid and we only redraw the
content that changes. With buggy drivers though, applications would be
left with junk covering a lot of the stage until some event triggered a
full redraw.
This is a workaround for a race condition when resizing windows while
there are in-flight glXCopySubBuffer blits happening.
The problem stems from the fact that rectangles for the blits are
described relative to the bottom left of the window and because we can't
guarantee control over the X window gravity used when resizing so the
gravity is typically NorthWest not SouthWest.
This means if you grow a window vertically the server will make sure to
place the old contents of the window at the top-left/north-west of your
new larger window, but that may happen asynchronous to GLX preparing to
do a blit specified relative to the bottom-left/south-west of the window
(based on the old smaller window geometry).
When the GLX issued blit finally happens relative to the new bottom of
your window, the destination will have shifted relative to the top-left
where all the pixels you care about are so it will result in a nasty
artefact making resizing look very ugly!
We can't currently fix this completely, in-part because the window
manager tends to trample any gravity we might set. This workaround
instead simply disables blits for a while if we are notified of any
resizes happening so if the user is resizing a window via the window
manager then they may see an artefact for one frame but then we will
fallback to redrawing the full stage until the cooling off period is
over.
Instead of triggering a full stage redraw for Expose events we use the
geometry of the exposed region given in the event to queue a clipped
redraw of the stage.
Clutter has now taken responsibility for managing its viewport,
projection matrix and view transform as part of ClutterStage so
_cogl_setup_viewport is no longer used by anything, and since it's quite
an obscure API anyway it's we've taken the opportunity to remove the
function.
Since clutter_actor_queue_redraw now automatically clips redraws
according to the paint volume of the actor we have to be careful to
ensure we really force a full redraw when the stage is allocated a new
size or the stage viewport changes.
We have bent the originally documented semantics a bit so now where we
say "Queueing a new layout automatically queues a redraw as well" it
might be clearer to say "Queuing a new layout implicitly queues a redraw
as well if anything in the layout changes".
This should be close enough to the original semantics to not cause any
problems.
Without this change then we we fail to take advantage of clipped redraws
in a lot of cases because queuing a redraw with priv->needs_allocation
== TRUE will automatically be promoted to a full stage redraw since it's
not possible to determine a valid paint-volume.
Also queuing a redraw here will end up registering a redundant clipped
redraw for the current location, doing quite a lot of redundant
transforms, and then later when re-allocated during layouting another
queue redraw would happen with the correct paint-volume.
This uses actor paint volumes to perform culling during
clutter_actor_paint.
When performing a clipped redraw (because only a few localized actors
changed) then as we traverse the scenegraph painting the actors we can
now ignore actors that don't intersect the clip region. Early testing
shows this can have a big performance benefit; e.g. 100% fps improvement
for test-state with culling enabled and we hope that there are even much
more compelling examples than that in the real world,
Most Clutter applications are 2Dish interfaces and have quite a lot of
actors that get continuously painted when anything is animated. The
dynamic actors are often localized to an area of user focus though so
with culling we can completely avoid painting any of the static actors
outside the current clip region.
Obviously the cost of culling has to be offset against the cost of
painting to determine if it's a win, but our (limited) testing suggests
it should be a win for most applications.
Note: we hope we will be able to also bring another performance bump
from culling with another iteration - hopefully in the 1.6 cycle - to
avoid doing the culling in screen space and instead do it in the stage's
model space. This will hopefully let us minimize the cost of
transforming the actor volumes for culling.
This makes clutter_actor_queue_redraw transparently use an actor's paint
volume to queue a clipped redraw.
We save the actors paint box each time it is painted so that when
clutter_actor_queue_redraw is called we can determine the old and new
location of the actor so we know the full bounds of what must be redrawn
to clear its old view and show the new.
This makes _clutter_actor_transform_and_project_box a static function
and removes the prototype from clutter-private.h since it is no longer
used outside clutter-actor.c
The base implementation for the actor queue_relayout method was queuing
an implicit redraw, but there shouldn't be anything implied from the
mere process of queuing a redraw that should force us to queue a redraw.
If actors are moved as a part of relayouting later then they will queue
a redraw. Also clutter_actor_queue_relayout() still also explicitly
queues a redraw so I think this may have been doubly redundant.
If clutter_actor_allocate finds it necessary to update an actors
allocation then it now also queue a redraw of that actor. Currently we
queue redraws for actors very early on when queuing a relayout instead
of waiting to determine the final outcome of relayouting to determine if
a redraw is really required. With this in place we can move away from
preemptive queuing of redraws.
clutter_actor_queue_relayout currently queues a relayout and a redraw,
but the plan is to change it to only queue a relayout and honour the
documentation by assuming that the process of relayouting will
result queuing redraws for any actors whos allocation changes.
This doesn't make that change it just adds an internal
_clutter_actor_queue_only_relayout function which
clutter_actor_queue_relayout now uses as well as calling
clutter_actor_queue_redraw.
This adds a private ->relayout_pending boolean similar in spirit to
redraw_pending. This will allow us to queue a relayout without
implicitly queueing a redraw; instead we can depend on the actions
of a relayout to queue any necessary redraw.
When clutter_texture_new_from_actor is use we need to track when the
source actor queues a redraw or a relayout so we can also queue a redraw
or relayout for the texture actor.
There is an internal _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip API that gets
used for texture-from-pixmap to minimize what we redraw in response to
Damage events. It was previously working in terms of a ClutterActorBox
but it has now been changed so an actor can queue a redraw of volume
instead.
The plan is that clutter_actor_queue_redraw will start to transparently
use _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip when it can determine a paint
volume for the actor.
For the blur effect we use a BLUR_PADDING constant to pad out the volume
of the source actor on the x and y axis. Previously we were offsetting
the origin negatively using BLUR_PADDING and then adding BLUR_PADDING
to the width and height, but we should have been adding 2*BLUR_PADDING
instead.
This ensures that clipped redraws are disabled when using
CLUTTER_PAINT=redraws. This may seem unintuitive given that this option
is for debugging clipped redraws, but we can't draw an outline outside
the clip region and anything we draw inside the clip region is liable to
leave a trailing mess on the screen since it won't be cleared up by
later clipped redraws.
This adds a debug option to visualize the paint volumes of all actors.
When CLUTTER_PAINT=paint-volumes is exported in the environment before
running a Clutter application then all actors will have their bounding
volume drawn in green with a label corresponding to the actors type.
This is a fairly extensive second pass at exposing paint volumes for
actors.
The API has changed to allow clutter_actor_get_paint_volume to fail
since there are times - such as when an actor isn't a descendent of the
stage - when the volume can't be determined. Another example is when
something has connected to the "paint" signal of the actor and we simply
have no way of knowing what might be drawn in that handler.
The API has also be changed to return a const ClutterPaintVolume pointer
(transfer none) so we can avoid having to dynamically allocate the
volumes in the most common/performance critical code paths. Profiling was
showing the slice allocation of volumes taking about 1% of an apps time,
for some fairly basic tests. Most volumes can now simply be allocated on
the stack; for clutter_actor_get_paint_volume we return a pointer to
&priv->paint_volume and if we need a more dynamic allocation there is
now a _clutter_stage_paint_volume_stack_allocate() mechanism which lets
us allocate data which expires at the start of the next frame.
The API has been extended to make it easier to implement
get_paint_volume for containers by using
clutter_actor_get_transformed_paint_volume and
clutter_paint_volume_union. The first allows you to query the paint
volume of a child but transformed into parent actor coordinates. The
second lets you combine volumes together so you can union all the
volumes for a container's children and report that as the container's
own volume.
The representation of paint volumes has been updated to consider that
2D actors are the most common.
The effect apis, clutter-texture and clutter-group have been update
accordingly.
Previously we used the transformed allocation but that doesn't take
into account actors with depth which may be projected outside the
area covered by the transformed allocation.
