This adds a stop-gap mechanism for Cogl to know when the window system
is requested to present the current backbuffer to the frontbuffer by
adding a _cogl_swap_buffers_notify function that backends are now
expected to call right after issuing the equivalent request to OpenGL
vie the platforms OpenGL binding layer. This (blindly) updates all the
backends to call this new function.
For now Cogl doesn't do anything with the notification but the intention
is to use it as part of a planned read-pixel optimization which will
need to reset some state at the start of each new frame.
Instead of having _cogl_get/set_clip stack which reference the global
CoglContext this instead makes those into CoglClipState method functions
named _cogl_clip_state_get/set_stack that take an explicit pointer to a
CoglClipState.
This also adds _cogl_framebuffer_get/set_clip_stack convenience
functions that avoid having to first get the ClipState from a
framebuffer then the stack from that - so we can maintain the
convenience of _cogl_get_clip_stack.
This adds an internal function to be able to query the screen space
bounding box of the current clip entries contained in a given
CoglClipStack.
This bounding box which is cheap to determine can be useful to know the
largest extents that might be updated while drawing with this clip
stack.
For example the plan is to use this as part of an optimized read-pixel
path handled on the CPU which will need to track the currently valid
extents of the last call to cogl_clear()
Instead of having a single journal per context, we now have a
CoglJournal object for each CoglFramebuffer. This means we now don't
have to flush the journal when switching/pushing/popping between
different framebuffers so for example a Clutter scene that involves some
ClutterEffect actors that transiently redirect to an FBO can still be
batched.
This also allows us to track state in the journal that relates to the
current frame of its associated framebuffer which we'll need for our
optimization for using the CPU to handle reading a single pixel back
from a framebuffer when we know the whole scene is currently comprised
of simple rectangles in a journal.
This adds an internal alternative to cogl_object_set_user_data that also
passes an instance pointer to destroy notify callbacks.
When setting private data on a CoglObject it's often desirable to know
the instance being destroyed when we are being notified to free the
private data due to the object being freed. The typical solution to this
is to track a pointer to the instance in the private data itself so it
can be identified but that usually requires an extra micro allocation
for the private data that could have been avoided if only the callback
were given an instance pointer.
The new internal _cogl_object_set_user_data passes the instance pointer
as a second argument which means it is ABI compatible for us to layer
the public version on top of this internal function.
This moves the implementation of cogl_clear into cogl-framebuffer.c as
two new internal functions _cogl_framebuffer_clear and
_cogl_framebuffer_clear4f. It's not clear if this is what the API will
look like as we make more of the CoglFramebuffer API public due to the
limitations of using flags to identify buffers when framebuffers may
contain any number of ancillary buffers but conceptually it makes some
sense to tie the operation of clearing a color buffer to a framebuffer.
The short term intention is to enable tracking the current clear color
as a property of the framebuffer as part of an optimization for reading
back single pixels when the geometry is simple enough that we can
compute the result quickly on the CPU. (If the point doesn't intersect
any geometry we'll need to return the last clear color.)
Hierarchy and Device changed events come through with the X window set
to be the root window, not the stage window. We need to whitelist them
so that we can actually support hotplugging and device changes.
The x11 backend exposes a lot of symbols that are meant to only be used
when implementing a subclassed backend, like the glx and eglx ones.
The uninstalled headers are also filled with cruft declarations of
functions long since removed.
Let's try to clean up this mess.
Slave and floating devices should always be disabled, and not deliver
events to the scene. It is up to the user to enable non-master devices
and handle events coming from them.
ClutterInputDevice gets a new :enabled property, defaulting to FALSE;
when a device manager creates a new device it has to set it to TRUE if
the :device-mode property is set to CLUTTER_INPUT_MODE_MASTER.
The main event queue entry point, _clutter_event_push(), will
automatically discard events coming from disabled devices.
CLUTTER_BUTTON_* and CLUTTER_MOTION event types have axes data attached
to them, so we want to expose a common ClutterEvent method for
extracting that data.
The ClutterStageX11 implementation does most of the heavy lifting, so
subclasses like ClutterStageGLX and ClutterStageEGL do not need to
handle things like creating the stage Window and selecting events; just
chaining up and using the internal API will suffice.
Undeprecate the XInput-related X11 API: since we don't enable XI support
by default we still need to ask for it, and see if we have it after the
backend initialization sequence.
Event translation is now done where it belongs: we don't need a massive
switch in a file with direct access to private structure members.
So long, event_translate(); and thanks for all the fish.
We ask XI2 to get the client pointer for CLUTTER_POINTER_DEVICE, and
we use the attached keyboard device for CLUTTER_KEYBOARD_DEVICE. For
everything else, we return NULL.
We keep the symbol in the public header, but the definition is now
private. You could not sub-class InputDevice anyway, without the
instance structure, and the lack of padding in the class made actually
implementing devices in backends really hard.
Since we have a decent XI1 and XI2 implementation, now, we should turn
the support for XInput on by default.
The actual implementation to be used at run-time is still left to be
decided by the user.
This is a lump commit that is fairly difficult to break down without
either breaking bisecting or breaking the test cases.
The new design for handling X11 event translation works this way:
- ClutterBackend::translate_event() has been added as the central
point used by a ClutterBackend implementation to translate a
native event into a ClutterEvent;
- ClutterEventTranslator is a private interface that should be
implemented by backend-specific objects, like stage
implementations and ClutterDeviceManager sub-classes, and
allows dealing with class-specific event translation;
- ClutterStageX11 implements EventTranslator, and deals with the
stage-relative X11 events coming from the X11 event source;
- ClutterStageGLX overrides EventTranslator, in order to
deal with the INTEL_GLX_swap_event extension, and it chains up
to the X11 default implementation;
- ClutterDeviceManagerX11 has been split into two separate classes,
one that deals with core and (optionally) XI1 events, and the
other that deals with XI2 events; the selection is done at run-time,
since the core+XI1 and XI2 mechanisms are mutually exclusive.
All the other backends we officially support still use their own
custom event source and translation function, but the end goal is to
migrate them to the translate_event() virtual function, and have the
event source be a shared part of Clutter core.
