Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib
api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced
cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis.
One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API
is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib
API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl.
This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors
which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly. If Cogl
is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely
assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood.
This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as
an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error
and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common
cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error
and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting
themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent
with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if
they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies
in this case)
Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard
GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn
developers that are used to using the GError api.

Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to
not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and
although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type
that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError
unless Cogl is built with glib disabled.
Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops
the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the
CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we
are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl
API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be
able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of
cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility
source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for
compatibility too.
Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14
branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs
have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which
understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of
CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use
gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not
well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't
aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors.
(GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs
bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.)
The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch
even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very
awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.
The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.
Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
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
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

GL_ARB_sampler_objects provides a GL object which overrides the
sampler state part of a texture object with different values. The
sampler state that Cogl currently exposes is the wrap modes and
filters. Cogl exposes the state as part of the pipeline layer state
but without this extension GL only exposes it as part of the texture
object state. This means that it won't work to use a single texture
multiple times in one primitive with different sampler states. It also
makes switching between different sampler states with a single texture
not terribly efficient because it has to change the texture object
state every time.
This patch adds a cache for sampler states in a shared hash table
attached to the CoglContext. The entire set of parameters for the
sampler state is used as the key for the hash table. When a unique
state is encountered the sampler cache will create a new entry,
otherwise it will return a const pointer to an existing entry. That
means we can have a single pointer to represent any combination of
sampler state.
Pipeline layers now just store this single pointer rather than storing
all of the sampler state. The two separate state flags for wrap modes
and filters have now been combined into one. It should be faster to
compare the sampler state now because instead of comparing each value
it can just compare the pointers to the cached sampler entries. The
hash table of cached sampler states should only need to perform its
more expensive hash on the state when a property is changed on a
pipeline, not every time it is flushed.
When the sampler objects extension is available each cached sampler
state will also get a sampler object to represent it. The common code
to flush the GL state will now simply bind this object to a unit
instead of flushing the state though the CoglTexture when possible.

This option to GCC makes it give a warning whenever a global function
is defined without a declaration. This should catch cases were we've
defined a function but forgot to put it in a header. In that case it
is either only used within one file so we should make it static or we
should declare it in a header.
The following changes where made to fix problems:
• Some functions were made static
• cogl-path.h (the one containing the 1.0 API) was split into two
files, one defining the functions and one defining the enums so that
cogl-path.c can include the enum and function declarations from the
2.0 API as well as the function declarations from the 1.0 API.
• cogl2-clip-state has been removed. This only had one experimental
function called cogl_clip_push_from_path but as this is unstable we
might as well remove it favour of the equivalent cogl_framebuffer_*
API.
• The GLX, SDL and WGL winsys's now have a private header to define
their get_vtable function instead of directly declaring in the C
file where it is called.
• All places that were calling COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE need to have the
cogl_is_whatever function declared so these have been added either
as a public function or in a private header.
• Some files that were not including the header containing their
function declarations have been fixed to do so.
• Any unused error quark functions have been removed. If we later want
them we should add them back one by one and add a declaration for
them in a header.
• _cogl_is_framebuffer has been renamed to cogl_is_framebuffer and
made a public function with a declaration in cogl-framebuffer.h
• Similarly for CoglOnscreen.
• cogl_vdraw_indexed_attributes is called
cogl_framebuffer_vdraw_indexed_attributes in the header. The
definition has been changed to match the header.
• cogl_index_buffer_allocate has been removed. This had no declaration
and I'm not sure what it's supposed to do.
• CoglJournal has been changed to use the internal CoglObject macro so
that it won't define an exported cogl_is_journal symbol.
• The _cogl_blah_pointer_from_handle functions have been removed.
CoglHandle isn't used much anymore anyway and in the few places
where it is used I think it's safe to just use the implicit cast
from void* to the right type.
• The test-utils.h header for the conformance tests explicitly
disables the -Wmissing-declaration option using a pragma because all
of the tests declare their main function without a header. Any
mistakes relating to missing declarations aren't really important
for the tests.
• cogl_quaternion_init_from_quaternion and init_from_matrix have been
given declarations in cogl-quaternion.h

This adds a public function to replace the texture for a layer with
the default white texture. It is equivalent to calling
cogl_pipeline_set_layer_texture with NULL for the texture object
except that it also lets you choose a type for the texture. The idea
is that applications using a base pipeline to make multiple copies
that can share the generated shaders can use this function to make the
layer come into existence with the right texture type. Previously the
idiom would be to create a 1x1 dummy texture of the right type but
this ends up creating lots of redundant little textures.

When comparing the texture data for a pipeline layer it tries to get

when the texture object is NULL.

Instead of storing the GLenum for the target of the last used texture
for a layer it now stores the CoglTextureType instead. The state name
has been renamed to 'texture type' instead of 'texture target'.
Previously the default pipeline layer would store 0 here to represent
that there is no texture. This has been changed to store
COGL_TEXTURE_TYPE_2D instead which means that all pipeline layers
always have a valid value for the texture type. Any places that were
previously fetching the texture from a layer to determine the target
(for example when generating shaders or when enabling a particular
texture target) now use the texture type instead. This means they will
work even for layers that don't have a texture.
This also changes it so that when binding a fallback texture instead
of always using a 2D texture it will now use the default texture
corresponding to the texture type of the layer. That way when the
generated shader tries to do a texture lookup for that type of texture
it will get a valid texture object. To make this work the patch adds a
default texture for 3D textures to the context and also makes the
default rectangle texture actually be a rectangle texture instead of
using a 2D texture.

Since we've had several developers from admirable projects say they
would like to use Cogl but would really prefer not to pull in
gobject,gmodule and glib as extra dependencies we are investigating if
we can get to the point where glib is only an optional dependency.
Actually we feel like we only make minimal use of glib anyway, so it may
well be quite straightforward to achieve this.
This adds a --disable-glib configure option that can be used to disable
features that depend on glib.
Actually --disable-glib doesn't strictly disable glib at this point
because it's more helpful if cogl continues to build as we make
incremental progress towards this.
The first use of glib that this patch tackles is the use of
g_return_val_if_fail and g_return_if_fail which have been replaced with
equivalent _COGL_RETURN_VAL_IF_FAIL and _COGL_RETURN_IF_FAIL macros.

Currently features are represented as bits in a 32bit mask so we
obviously can't have more than 32 features with that approach. The new
approach is to use the COGL_FLAGS_ macros which lets us handle bitmasks
without a size limit and we change the public api to accept individual
feature enums instead of a mask. This way there is no limit on the
number of features we can add to Cogl.
Instead of using cogl_features_available() there is a new
cogl_has_feature() function and for checking multiple features there is
cogl_has_features() which takes a zero terminated vararg list of
features.
In addition to being able to check for individual features this also
adds a way to query all the features currently available via
cogl_foreach_feature() which will call a callback for each feature.
Since the new functions take an explicit context pointer there is also
no longer any ambiguity over when users can first start to query
features.

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.
