5f181f7265 stage-window: tweak has_redraw_clips semantics
This tweaks the semantics of the has_redraw_clips vfunc so we can assume
that at the start of a new frame there is an implied, initial,
redraw_clip that clips everything (i.e. nothing would be redrawn) so in
that case we would expect the has_redraw_clips vfunc to return True at
the start of a new frame for backends that support clipping.

Previously there was an ambiguity when this function returned False
since it could either mean a full screen redraw had been queued or it
could mean that the clip state wasn't yet initialized for that frame.
This would result in _clutter_stage_has_full_redraw_queued() returning
True at the start of a new frame even before any actors have been
updated, which in turn meant we would incorrectly ignore queue_redraw
requests for actors, believing them to be redundant.

1e7f22db3b glx: queue full redraws for the first 2 frames
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.

771348b369 x11: minimize nasty artefacts when resizing windows
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.

b499696d83 Use paint volumes to do automatic culling
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.

f60703cb1d debug: CLUTTER_DEBUG_REDRAWS: disable clipped redraws
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.

3540d222e1 paint volumes: another pass at the design
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.

8dd8fbdbdf build: Start moving to a non-recursive layout
*** WARNING: THIS COMMIT CHANGES THE BUILD ***

Do not recurse into the backend directories to build private, internal
libraries.

We only recurse from clutter/ into the cogl sub-directory; from there,
we don't recurse any further. All the backend-specific code in Cogl and
Clutter is compiled conditionally depending on the macros defined by the
configure script.

We still recurse from the top-level directory into doc, clutter and
tests, because gtk-doc and tests do not deal nicely with non-recursive
layouts.

This change makes Clutter compile slightly faster, and cleans up the
build system, especially when dealing with introspection data.

Ideally, we also want to make Cogl part of the top-level build, so that
we can finally drop the sed trick to change the shared library from the
GIR before compiling it.

Currently disabled:

  ‣ OSX backend
  ‣ Fruity backend

Currently enabled but untested:

  ‣ EGL backend
  ‣ Windows backend

609560b1cb glx: Unconditionally select X11/GLX events
Currently, we select input events and GLX events conditionally,
depending on whether the user has disabled event retrieval.

We should, instead, unconditionally select input events even with event
retrieval disabled because we need to guarantee that the Clutter
internal state is maintained when calling clutter_x11_handle_event()
without requiring applications or embedding toolkits to select events
themselves. If we did that, we'd have to document the events to be
selected, and also update applications and embedding toolkits each time
we added a new mask, or a new class of events - something that's clearly
not possible.

See:

  http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998

for the rationale of why we did conditional selection. It is now clear
that a compositor should clear out the input region, since it cannot
assume a perfectly clean slate coming from us.

See:

  http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2228

for an example of things that break if we do conditional event
selection on GLX events. In that specific case, the X11 server ≤ 1.8
always pushed GLX events on the queue, even without selecting them; this
has been fixed in the X11 server ≥ 1.9, which means that applications
like Mutter or toolkit integration libraries like Clutter-GTK would stop
working on recent Intel drivers providing the GLX_INTEL_swap_event
extension.

This change has been tested with Mutter and Clutter-GTK.

56315d92bd stage-glx: Never promote clipped redraws to full redraws.
When clipped redraws were first supported in Clutter a heuristic was
added to promote tall clipped redraws into full redraws due to a concern
that using glXCopySubBuffer for tall rectangles would block the GPU for
too long waiting for the vtrace to be in a suitable position so that
tearing isn't seen. We've so far been unable to measure any impact from
this blocking even with full height windows so we are removing the
arbitrary threshold of 300px that was originally "plucked out of thin
air".

30296a3307 backend-glx: Avoid vblank waits/glFinish calls when throttling blits
If we have the GLX_SGI_video_sync extension then it's possible to always
keep track for the video sync counter each time we call glXSwapBuffers
or do a sub stage blit. This then allows us to avoid waiting before
issuing a blit if we can see that the counter has already progressed.

Also since we expect that glXCopySubBuffer is synchronized to the vblank
we don't need to use glFinish () in conjunction with the vblank wait
since the vblank wait's only purpose is to add a delay.

f37de23dec backend-glx: Make sure to throttle sub region blits
Neither glXCopySubBuffer or glBlitFramebuffer are integrated with the
swap interval of a framebuffer so that means when we do partial stage
updates (as Mutter does in response to window damage) then the blits
aren't throttled which means applications that throw lots of damage
events at the compositor can effectively cause Clutter to run flat out
taking up all the system resources issuing more blits than can even be
seen.

This patch now makes sure we use the GLX_SGI_video_sync or a
DRM_VBLANK_RELATIVE ioctl to throttle blits to the vblank frequency as
we do when using glXSwapBuffers.

So instead to directly fallback to complete redraws try using GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit
to do the BACK to FRONT buffer copies.

d21b7522f8 Fix errors in keeping track of the stage bounding rectangle
* Add new clutter_geometry_union(), because writing union intersection
  is harder than it looks. Fixes two problems with the inline code in
  clutter_stage_glx_add_redraw_clip().

  1) The ->x and ->y of were reassigned to before using them to
     compute the new width and height.
  2) since ClutterGeometry has unsigned width, x + width is unsigned,
     and comparison goes wrong if either rectangle has a negative
     x + width. (We fixed width for GdkRectangle to be signed for GTK+-2.0,
     this is a potent source of bugs.)

* Use in clutter_stage_glx_add_redraw_clip()

* Account for the case where the incoming rectangle is empty, and don't
  end up with the stage being entirely redrawn.

* Account for the case where the stage already has a degenerate
  width and don't end up with redrawing only the new rectangle and not
  the rest of the stage.

The better fix here for the second two problems is to stop using a 0
width to mean the entire stage, but this should work for now.

c0d5af5de5 Adds initial clipped redraw support to Clutter
A new (internal only currently) API, _clutter_actor_queue_clipped_redraw
can be used to queue a redraw along with a clip rectangle in actor
coordinates. This clip rectangle propagates up to the stage and clutter
backend which may optionally use the information to optimize stage
redraws. The GLX backend in particular may scissor the next redraw to
the clip rectangle and use GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer to present the stage
subregion.

The intention is that any actors that can naturally determine the bounds
of updates should queue clipped redraws to reduce the cost of updating
small regions of the screen.

Notes:
» If GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer isn't available then the GLX backend
  ignores any clip rectangles.

» queuing multiple clipped redraws will result in the bounding box of
  each clip rectangle being used.

» If a clipped redraw has a height > 300 pixels then it's promoted into
  a full stage redraw, so that the GPU doesn't end up blocking too long
  waiting for the vsync to reach the optimal position to avoid tearing.

  » Note: no empirical data was used to come up with this threshold so
    we may need to tune this.

» Currently only ClutterX11TexturePixmap makes use of this new API. This
  is done via a new "queue-damage-redraw" signal that is emitted when
  the pixmap is updated. The default handler queues a clipped redraw
  with the assumption that the pixmap is being painted as a rectangle
  covering the actors transformed allocation. If you subclass
  ClutterX11TexturePixmap and change how it's painted you now also
  need to override the signal handler and queue your own redraw.

  Technically this is a semantic break, but it's assumed that no one
  is currently doing this.

This still leaves a few unsolved issues with regards to optimizing sub
stage redraws that need to be addressed in further work so this can only
be considered a stepping stone a this point:

» Because we have no reliable way to determine if the painting of any
  given actor is being modified any optimizations implemented using
  _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip must be overridable by a
  subclass, and technically must be opt-in for existing classes to avoid
  a change in semantics. E.g. consider that a user connects to the paint
  signal for ClutterTexture and paints a circle instead of a rectangle.
  In this case any original logic to queue clipped redraws would be
  incorrect.

» Currently only the implementation of an actor has enough information
  with which to queue clipped redraws. E.g. It is not possible for
  generic code in clutter-actor.c to queue a clipped redraw when hiding
  an actor because actors have no way to report a "paint box". (remember
  actors can draw outside their allocation and actors with depth may
  also be projected outside of their allocation)

  » The current plan is to add a actor_class->get_paint_cuboid()
    virtual so actors can report a bounding cube for everything they
    would draw in their current state and use that to queue clipped
    redraws against the stage by projecting the paint cube into stage
    coordinates.

» Our heuristics for promoting clipped redraws into full redraws to
  avoid blocking the GPU while we wait for the vsync need improving:

  » vsync issues aren't relevant for redirected/composited applications
    so they should use different heuristics. In this case we instead
    need to trade off the cost of blitting when using glXCopySubBuffer
    vs promoting to a full redraw and flipping instead.

a9941e9499 debug: Split debugging notes from behavioural modifiers
Some of the ClutterDebugFlags are not meant as a logging facility: they
actually change Clutter's behaviour at run-time.

It would be useful to have this distinction ratified, and thus split
ClutterDebugFlags into two: one DebugFlags for logging facilities and
another set of flags for behavioural changes.

This split is warranted because:

  • it should be possible to do "CLUTTER_DEBUG=all" and only have
    log messages on the output

  • it should be possible to use behavioural modifiers even on a
    Clutter that has been compiled without debugging messages
    support

The commit adds two new debugging flags:

  ClutterPickDebugFlags - controlled by the CLUTTER_PICK environment
                          variable

  ClutterPaintDebugFlags - controlled by the CLUTTER_PAINT environment
                           variable

The PickDebugFlags are:

  nop-picking
  dump-pick-buffers

While the PaintDebugFlags is:

  disable-swap-events

The mechanism is equivalent to the CLUTTER_DEBUG environment variable,
but it does not depend on the debug level selected when configuring and
compiling Clutter. The picking and painting debugging flags are
initialized at clutter_init() time.

2fcb644e4f [stage] Fix some races to do with window resizing
When we resize, we relied on the stage's allocate to re-initialise the
GL viewport. Unfortunately, if we resized within Clutter, the new size
was cached before the window is actually resized, so glViewport wasn't
being called after resizing (some of the time, it's a race condition).

Change the way resizing works slightly so that we only resize when the
geometry size doesn't match our preferred size, and queue a relayout on
ConfigureNotify so the glViewport gets called.

Also change window creation slightly so that setting the size of a
window before it's realized works correctly.

5f18fc928d cogl: explicitly mark cogl_<object>_ref/unref APIs as deprecated
This uses the G_GNUC_DEPRECATED macros to mark the
cogl_{texture,vertex_buffer,shader}_ref and unref APIs as deprecated.
Since this flagged that cogl-pango-display-list.c and
clutter-glx-texture-pixmap.c were still using deprecated _ref/_unref
APIs they have now been changed to use the cogl_handle_ref/unref API
instead.

8c9472bc4c cogl: deprecates cogl_check_extension
OpenGL is an implementation detail for Cogl so it's not appropriate to
expose OpenGL extensions through the Cogl API.

Note: Clutter is currently still using this API, because it is still
doing raw GL calls in ClutterGLXTexturePixmap, so this introduces a
couple of (legitimate) build warnings while compiling Clutter.

1899dbdc27 backend-glx: Fix glXQueryVersion test
This fixes some backwards logic for asserting that we have a GLX major
version == 1 and a minor version >= 2. (NB: Although we technically
depend on GLX 1.3 features, we still have to support drivers that report
GLX 1.2 because there are a lot of mesa drivers out there incorrectly
report GLX 1.2 even though they export extensions that depend on GLX
1.3)

4a9f08639f debug: Adds CLUTTER_DEBUG=disable-swap-events option
This allows us to forcibly disable the use of the GLX_INTEL_swap_events
extension for testing or debugging purposes.

5d702853b8 glx backend: Adds support for GLX_INTEL_swap_event
If your OpenGL driver supports GLX_INTEL_swap_event that means when
glXSwapBuffers is called it returns immediatly and an XEvent is sent when
the actual swap has finished.

Clutter can use the events that notify swap completion as a means to
throttle rendering in the master clock without blocking the CPU and so it
should help improve the performance of CPU bound applications.

848db1ee4c glx backend: when running with GLX 1.3 then create GLXWindows for stages
Some extensions only support GLX versions > 1.3 and may not support
old style X Windows as GLXDrawables, so we now create GLXWindows for
stages when possible.

c82c94e620 [stage-x11] Set the default size differently
We want to set the default size without triggering the layout machinary,
so change the window creation process slightly so we start with a
640x480 window.

1f70da62a7 glx: Create a colormap for the dummy window
Otherwise X will fail to create the window and throw a BadMatch error
at least on NVidia.

466b00a806 glx: Clarify *why* we need the dummy window
The reason why we have a dummy, offscreen Window when we create the
GLX context is that GLX does not like it when you ask the context for
features if it's not made current to a Drawable. Maybe in the future
it will allow us to do so, but right now we have to make do with what
GLX offers us.
