Add framebuffer methods cogl_framebuffer_[gs]et_depth_write_enabled()
and backend bits to pass the state on to glDepthMask().
This allows us to enable or disable depth writing per-framebuffer, which
if disabled saves us some work in glClear(). When rendering, the flag
is combined with the pipeline's depth writing flag using a logical AND.
Depth writing is enabled by default.

Note: Since we can't break the 1.x api on this branch this keeps a
thin shim around cogl_offscreen_new_with_texture to implement
cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture with its synchronous allocation
semantics.
When splitting out the CoglPath api we saw that we would be left with
inconsistent drawing apis if the drawing apis in core Cogl were lumped
into the cogl_framebuffer_ api considering other Cogl sub-libraries or
that others will want to create higher level drawing apis outside of
Cogl but can't use the same namespace.
So that we can aim for a more consistent style this adds a
cogl_primitive_draw() api, comparable to cogl_path_fill() or
cogl_pango_show_layout() that's intended to replace
cogl_framebuffer_draw_primitive()
Note: the attribute and rectangle drawing apis are still in the
cogl_framebuffer_ namespace and this might potentially change but in
these cases there is no single object representing the thing being drawn
so it seems a more reasonable they they live in the framebuffer
namespace for now.
Note: the cogl_framebuffer_draw_primitive() api isn't removed by this
patch so it can more conveniently be cherry picked to the 1.16 branch so
we can mark it deprecated for a short while. Even though it's marked as
experimental api we know that there are people using the api so we'd
like to give them a chance to switch to the new api.

After discussing with Kristian Høgsberg it seems that the semantics of
wl_egl_window_resize is meant to be that if nothing has been drawn to
the framebuffer since the last swap then the resize will take effect
immediately. Cogl was previously always delaying the call to
wl_egl_window_resize until the next swap. That meant that if you
wanted to resize the surface you would have to call
cogl_wayland_onscreen_resize and then redundantly draw a frame at the
old size so that you can swap to get the resize to occur before
drawing again at the right size. Typically an application would decide
to resize at the start of its paint sequence so it should be able to
just resize immediately.
In current Mesa master it seems that there is a bug which means that
it won't actually delay a resize that is done mid-scene and instead it
will just discard what came before. To get consistent behaviour in
Cogl, the code to delay the call to wl_egl_window_resize is still used
if it determines that the buffer is dirty. There is an existing
_cogl_framebuffer_mark_mid_scene call which was being used to track
when the framebuffer becomes dirty since the last clear. This function
is now also used to track a new flag to track whether something has
been drawn since the last swap. It is called ‘mid_scene’ under the
assumption that this may also be useful for other things later.
cogl_framebuffer_clear has been slightly altered to always call
_cogl_framebuffer_mark_mid_scene even if it determines that it doesn't
need to clear because the framebuffer should still be considered to be
in the middle of a scene. Adding a quad to the journal now also begins
the scene.
This also fixes a potential bug where it looks like pending_dx/dy were
never cleared so they would always be accumulated even after the
resize is flushed.

Consistent with how we lazily allocate framebuffers this patch allows us
to instantiate textures but still specify constraints and requirements
before allocating storage so that we can be sure to allocate the most
appropriate/efficient storage.
This adds a cogl_texture_allocate() function that is analogous to
cogl_framebuffer_allocate() which can optionally be called to explicitly
allocate storage and catch any errors. If this function isn't used
explicitly then Cogl will implicitly ensure textures are allocated
before the storage is needed.
It is generally recommended to rely on lazy storage allocation or at
least perform explicit allocation as late as possible so Cogl can be
fully informed about the best way to allocate storage.

This allows apps to catch out-of-memory errors when allocating textures.
Textures can be pretty huge at times and so it's quite possible for an
application to try and allocate more memory than is available. It's also
very possible that the application can take some action in response to
reduce memory pressure (such as freeing up texture caches perhaps) so
we shouldn't just automatically abort like we do for trivial heap
allocations.
These public functions now take a CoglError argument so applications can
catch out of memory errors:
cogl_buffer_map
cogl_buffer_map_range
cogl_buffer_set_data
cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap
cogl_pixel_buffer_new
cogl_texture_new_from_data
cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap
Note: we've been quite conservative with how many apis we let throw OOM
CoglErrors since we don't really want to put a burdon on developers to
be checking for errors with every cogl api call. So long as there is
some lower level api for apps to use that let them catch OOM errors
for everything necessary that's enough and we don't have to make more
convenient apis more awkward to use.
The main focus is on bitmaps and texture allocations since they
can be particularly large and prone to failing.
A new cogl_attribute_buffer_new_with_size() function has been added in
case developers need to catch OOM errors when allocating attribute buffers
whereby they can first use _buffer_new_with_size() (which doesn't take a
CoglError) followed by cogl_buffer_set_data() which will lazily allocate
the buffer storage and report OOM errors.

This splits out most of the OpenGL specific code from cogl-framebuffer.c
into cogl-framebuffer-gl.c and extends the CoglDriverVtable interface
for cogl-framebuffer.c to use.
There are hopes to support several different backends for Cogl
eventually to hopefully get us closer to the metal so this makes some
progress in organizing which parts of Cogl are OpenGL specific so these
parts can potentially be switched out later.
The only remaining use of OpenGL still in cogl-framebuffer.c is to
handle cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels.
This commit introduces some new framebuffer api to be able to
enable texture based depth buffers for a framebuffer (currently
only supported for offscreen framebuffers) and once allocated
to be able to retrieve the depth buffer as a texture for further
usage, say, to implement shadow mapping.
The API works as follow:
* Before the framebuffer is allocated, you can request that a depth
texture is created with
cogl_framebuffer_set_depth_texture_enabled()
* cogl_framebuffer_get_depth_texture() can then be used to grab a
CoglTexture once the framebuffer has been allocated.
There are two extensions, GL_OES_packed_depth_stencil and
GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil, that inform us that the hardware supports
packing the depth and stencil values together into one format.
The OES extension is the GLES equivalent of the EXT extension and the
two extensions provide the same enums with basically the same semantics,
except that the EXT extension is a lot more wordy due to a larger number
of features in the full OpenGL api and the OES extension has some
asymmetric limitations on when the GL_DEPTH_STENCIL and
GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8 enums can be used as internal formats.
GL_OES_packed_depth_stencil doesn't allow the GL_DEPTH_STENCIL enum
to be passed to glRenderbufferStorage (GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8 should be
used instead) and GL_OES_packed_depth_stencil doesn't allow
GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8 to be passed as an internal format to glTexImage2D.
We had been handling the two extensions differently in Cogl by calling
try_creating_fbo with different flags depending on whether the OES or
EXT extension was available and passing GL_DEPTH_STENCIL to
glRenderbufferStorage when we have the EXT extension or
GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8 with the OES extension.
To localize the code that deals with the differences between the
extensions this patch does away with the need for separate flags
so we now just have COGL_OFFSCREEN_ALLOCATE_FLAG_DEPTH_DEPTH_STENCIL and
right before calling glRenderbufferStorage we check which extension we
are using to decide whether to use the GL_DEPTH_STENCIL or
GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8 enums.

This makes it possible to integrate existing GLES2 code with
applications using Cogl as the rendering api.
Currently all GLES2 usage is handled with separate GLES2 contexts to
ensure that GLES2 api usage doesn't interfere with Cogl's own use of
OpenGL[ES]. The api has been designed though so we can provide tighter
integration later.
The api would allow us to support GLES2 virtualized on top of an
OpenGL/GLX driver as well as GLES2 virtualized on the core rendering api
of Cogl itself. Virtualizing the GLES2 support on Cogl will allow us to
take advantage of Cogl debugging facilities as well as let us optimize
the cost of allocating multiple GLES2 contexts and switching between
them which can both be very expensive with many drivers.
As as a side effect of this patch Cogl can also now be used as a
portable window system binding API for GLES2 as an alternative to EGL.
Parts of this patch are based on work done by Tomeu Vizoso

webkit-clutter.

The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib

Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we

highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.
Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.
So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.
Instead of gsize we now use size_t
For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have

Mesa before version 8.0.2 has a slow read pixels path that gets used
with the Intel driver where it converts all of the pixels into a
floating point representation and back even if the data is being read
into exactly the same format. There is however a faster path using the
blitter when reading into a PBO with BGRA format. It works out faster
to read into a PBO and then memcpy back out into the application's
buffer even though it adds an extra memcpy. This patch adds a
workaround in cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap when it detects
this situation. In that case it will create a temporary CoglBitmap
using cogl_bitmap_new_with_size, read into it and then memcpy the data

this workaround directly using GL calls but it seems like the kind of

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.

these functions are implicitly tied to a specific CoglContext via the
framebuffer pointer unlike cogl_clear.

Some of the functions we were calling in cogl_framebuffer_clear[4f] were
referring to the current framebuffer, which would result in a crash
if nothing had been pushed before trying to explicitly clear a given
framebuffer.

This adds CoglPipeline and CoglFramebuffer support for setting a color
mask which is a bit mask defining which color channels should be written
to the current framebuffer.
The final color mask is the intersection of the framebuffer color mask
and the pipeline color mask. The framebuffer mask affects all rendering
to the framebuffer while the pipeline masks can be used to affect
individual primitives.

This adds a getter and setter for requesting dithering to be enabled.
Dithering is a hardware dependent technique to increase the visible
color resolution beyond what the underlying hardware supports by playing
tricks with the colors placed into the framebuffer to give the illusion
of other colors. (For example this can be compared to half-toning used
by some news papers to show varying levels of grey even though their may
only be black and white are available).
The results of enabling dithering are platform dependent and may have no
effect.

This exposes experimental cogl_framebuffer APIs for getting and setting
a viewport without having to refer to the implicit CoglContext. It adds
the following experimental API:
cogl_framebuffer_set_viewport
cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport4fv
cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_x
cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_y
cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_width
cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_height

This extends cogl_onscreen_x11_set_foreign_xid to take a callback to a
function that details the event mask the Cogl requires the application
to select on foreign windows. This is required because Cogl, for
example, needs to track size changes of a window and may also in the
future want other notifications such as map/unmap.
Most applications wont need to use the foreign xwindow apis, but those
that do are required to pass a valid callback and update the event mask
of their window according to Cogl's requirements.
It's generally useful to be able to query the width and height of a
framebuffer and we expect to need this in Clutter when we move the
eglnative backend code into Cogl since Clutter will need to read back
the fixed size of the framebuffer when realizing the stage.
This migrates all the GLX window system code down from the Clutter
backend code into a Cogl winsys. Moving OpenGL window system binding
code down from Clutter into Cogl is the biggest blocker to having Cogl
become a standalone 3D graphics library, so this is an important step in
that direction.
This gives us a way to clearly track the internal Cogl API that Clutter
depends on. The aim is to split Cogl out from Clutter into a standalone
3D graphics API and eventually we want to get rid of any private
interfaces for Clutter so its useful to have a handle on that task.
Actually it's not as bad as I was expecting though.
This renames the two internal functions _cogl_get_draw/read_buffer
as cogl_get_draw_framebuffer and _cogl_get_read_framebuffer. The
former is now also exposed as experimental API.
Recently _cogl_swap_buffers_notify was added (in 142b229c5c) so that
Cogl would be notified when Clutter performs a swap buffers request for
a given onscreen framebuffer. It was expected this would be required for
the recent cogl_read_pixel optimization that was implemented (ref
1bdb0e6e98) but in the end it wasn't used.
Since it wasn't used in the end this patch removes the API.
