This exposes CoglTextureRectangle in the experimental cogl 2.0 api. For
now we just expose a single constructor;
cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size() but we can add more later.
This is part of going work to improve our texture apis with more
emphasis on providing low-level access to the varying semantics of
different texture types understood by the gpu instead of only trying to
present a lowest common denominator api.
CoglTextureRectangle is notably useful for never being restricted to
power of two sizes and for being sampled with non-normalized texture
coordinates which can be convenient for use a lookup tables in glsl due
to not needing separate uniforms for mapping normalized coordinates to
texels. Unlike CoglTexture2D though rectangle textures can't have a
mipmap and they only support the _CLAMP_TO_EDGE wrap mode.
Applications wanting to use CoglTextureRectangle should first check
cogl_has_feature (COGL_FEATURE_ID_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE).

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.

CoglMetaTexture is an interface for dealing with high level textures
that may be comprised of one or more low-level textures internally. The
interface allows the development of primitive drawing APIs that can draw
with high-level textures (such as atlas textures) even though the
GPU doesn't natively understand these texture types.
There is currently just one function that's part of this interface:
cogl_meta_texture_foreach_in_region() which allows an application to
resolve the internal, low-level textures of a high-level texture.
cogl_rectangle() uses this API for example so that it can easily emulate
the _REPEAT wrap mode for textures that the hardware can't natively
handle repeating of.

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.

Instead of calling _cogl_texutre_prepare_for_upload in
cogl_texture_set_region_from_bitmap the call is now deferred to the
implementation of the virtual for set_region. This is needed if the
texture backend is using a different format for the actual GL texture
than what is reported by cogl_texture_get_format. This happens for
example with atlas textures which report the original internal format
specified when the texture was created but actually always store the
data in an RGBA texture.
Also when creating an atlas texture from a bitmap it was preparing the
bitmap to be uploaded to the original format instead of the format of
the actual texture used for the atlas. Then it was using
cogl_texture_set_region_from_bitmap to upload the 5 pieces to make the
copies of the edge pixels. This would end up converting the image to
the actual format 5 times. The atlas textures have now been changed to
prepare the bitmap for the right format.

The GL or GLES library is now dynamically loaded by the CoglRenderer
so that it can choose between GL, GLES1 and GLES2 at runtime. The
library is loaded by the renderer because it needs to be done before
calling eglInitialize. There is a new environment variable called
COGL_DRIVER to choose between gl, gles1 or gles2.
The #ifdefs for HAVE_COGL_GL, HAVE_COGL_GLES and HAVE_COGL_GLES2 have
been changed so that they don't assume the ifdefs are mutually
exclusive. They haven't been removed entirely so that it's possible to
compile the GLES backends without the the enums from the GL headers.
When using GLX the winsys additionally dynamically loads libGL because
that also contains the GLX API. It can't be linked in directly because
that would probably conflict with the GLES API if the EGL is
selected. When compiling with EGL support the library links directly
to libEGL because it doesn't contain any GL API so it shouldn't have
any conflicts.
When building for WGL or OSX Cogl still directly links against the GL
API so there is a #define in config.h so that Cogl won't try to dlopen
the library.
Cogl-pango previously had a #ifdef to detect when the GL backend is
used so that it can sneakily pass GL_QUADS to
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw. This is now changed so that it queries the
CoglContext for the backend. However to get this to work Cogl now
needs to export the _cogl_context_get_default symbol and cogl-pango
needs some extra -I flags to so that it can include
cogl-context-private.h
The texture driver functions are now accessed through a vtable pointed
to by a struct in the CoglContext so that eventually it will be
possible to compile both the GL and GLES texture drivers into a single
binary and then select between them at runtime.
cogl-ext-functions.h now contains definitions for all of the core GL
and GLES functions that we would normally link to directly. All of the
code has changed to access them through the cogl context pointer. The
GE macro now takes an extra parameter to specify the context because
the macro itself needs to make GL calls but various points in the Cogl
source use different names for the context variable.
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.
There's no longer any need to use the GL handle in the callback for
_cogl_texture_foreach_sub_texture_in_region because it can now work in
terms of primitive cogl textures so it has now been removed. This
would be helpful if we ever want to make the foreach function public
so that apps could implement their own primitives using sliced
textures.
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.
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.
The CoglBitmap struct is now only defined within cogl-bitmap.c so that
all of its members can now only be accessed with accessor
functions. To get to the data pointer for the bitmap image you must
first call _cogl_bitmap_map and later call _cogl_bitmap_unmap. The map
function takes the same arguments as cogl_pixel_array_map so that
eventually we can make a bitmap optionally internally divert to a
pixel array.
There is a _cogl_bitmap_new_from_data function which constructs a new
bitmap object and takes ownership of the data pointer. The function
gets passed a destroy callback which gets called when the bitmap is
freed. This is similar to how gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data
works. Alternatively NULL can be passed for the destroy function which
means that the caller will manage the life of the pointer (but must
guarantee that it stays alive at least until the bitmap is
freed). This mechanism is used instead of the old approach of creating
a CoglBitmap struct on the stack and manually filling in the
members. It could also later be used to create a CoglBitmap that owns
a GdkPixbuf ref so that we don't necessarily have to copy the
GdkPixbuf data when converting to a bitmap.
There is also _cogl_bitmap_new_shared. This creates a bitmap using a
reference to another CoglBitmap for the data. This is a bit of a hack
but it is needed by the atlas texture backend which wants to divert
the set_region virtual to another texture but it needs to override the
format of the bitmap to ignore the premult flag.
In general cogl-material.c has become far to large to manage in one
source file. As one of the ways to try and break it down this patch
starts to move some of lower level texture unit state management out
into cogl-material-opengl.c. The naming is such because the plan is to
follow up and migrate the very GL specific state flushing code into the
same file.
Using 'r' to name the third component is problematic because that is
commonly used to represent the red component of a vector representing
a color. Under GLSL this is awkward because the texture swizzling for
a vector uses a single letter for each component and the names for
colors, textures and positions are synonymous. GLSL works around this
by naming the components of the texture s, t, p and q. Cogl already
effectively already exposes this naming because it exposes GLSL so it
makes sense to use that naming consistently. Another alternative could
be u, v and w. This is what Blender and Direct3D use. However the w
component conflicts with the w component of a position vertex.
This adds a COGL_OBJECT_INTERNAL_DEFINE macro and friends that are the
same as COGL_OBJECT_DEFINE except that they prefix the cogl_is_*
function with an underscore so that it doesn't get exported in the
shared library.
There was a lot of common code that was copied to all of the backends
to convert the data to a suitable format and wrap it into a CoglBitmap
so that it can be passed to _cogl_texture_driver_upload_subregion_to_gl.
This patch moves the common code to cogl-texture.c so that the virtual
just takes a CoglBitmap that is already in the right format.
Previously cogl_texture_get_data would pretty much directly pass on to
the get_data texture virtual function. This ended up with a lot of
common code that was copied to all of the backends. For example, the
method is expected to return the required data size if the data
pointer is NULL and to calculate its own rowstride if the rowstride is
0. Also it needs to convert the downloaded data if GL can't support
that format directly.
This patch moves the common code to cogl-texture.c so the virtual is
always called with a format that can be downloaded directly by GL and
with a valid rowstride. If the download fails then the virtual can
return FALSE in which case cogl-texture will use the draw and read
fallback.
This adds an internal rectangle texture backend which is mostly based
on the CoglTexture2D backend. It will throw assert failures if any
operations are attempted that rectangle textures don't support, such
as mipmapping or hardware repeating.
