Actors, unlike objects, can effectively go away whilst being
animated - usually because of an explicit destoy().
The Animation created by clutter_actor_animate() and friends
should keep a weak reference on the actor and eventually
get rid of the animation itself in case the actor goes away
whilst being animated.
_cogl_material_get_layer expects a CoglMaterial* pointer but it was
being called with a CoglHandle. This doesn't matter because the
CoglHandle is actually just the CoglMaterial* pointer anyway but it
breaks the ability to change the _cogl_material_pointer_from_handle
macro.
The Clutter API reference has an index of the symbols for each minor
version, and a list of deprecated symbols. The Cogl API reference
should have the same layout.
• Use the same style for the Cogl API reference as the one used for
the Clutter API reference.
• Fix the introspection annotations for cogl_bitmap_get_size_from_file()
The imported Mesa matrix code has some documentation annotations
that make gtk-doc very angry. Since it's all private anyway we
can safely make gtk-doc ignore the offending stuff.
$(COGL_DRIVER)/cogl-defines.h is generated in the configure script so
it ends up in the build directory. Therefore the build rule for
cogl/cogl-defines.h should depend on the file in $(builddir) not
$(srcdir).
The deprecation notices in gtk-doc should also refer to the
release that added the deprecation, and if the deprecated
symbol has been replaced by something else then the new symbol
should be correctly referenced.
The main COGL header cogl.h is currently created at configure time
because it conditionally includes the driver-dependent defines. This
sometimes leads to a stale cogl.h with old definitions which can
break the build until you clean out the whole tree and start from
scratch.
We can generate a stable cogl-defines.h at build time from the
equivalent driver-dependent header and let cogl.h include that
file instead.
We should generate a ChangeLog for each minor version cycle, starting
from the Git import date (since before that we used ChangeLog-style
commit messages that don't really look good with the Git ones).
For this reason we can take Cairo's Makefile.am.changelog file and,
after tweaking it to fit our use case, let it generate the correct
ChangeLogs on dist.
_cogl_feature_check expects the array of function names to be
terminated with a NULL pointer but I forgot to add this. This was
causing crashes depending on what happened to be in memory after the
array.
For VBOs, we don't need to check for the extension if the GL version
is greater than 1.5. Non-power-of-two textures are given in 2.0.
We could also assume shader support in GL 2.0 except that the function
names are different from those in the extension so it wouldn't work
well with the current mechanism.
Previously if you need to depend on a new GL feature you had to:
- Add typedefs for all of the functions in cogl-defines.h.in
- Add function pointers for each of the functions in
cogl-context-driver.h
- Add an initializer for the function pointers in
cogl-context-driver.c
- Add a check for the extension and all of the functions in
cogl_features_init. If the extension is available under multiple
names then you have to duplicate the checks.
This is quite tedious and error prone. This patch moves all of the
features and their functions into a list of macro invocations in
cogl-feature-functions.h. The macros can be redefined to implement all
of the above tasks from the same header.
The features are described in a struct with a pointer to a table of
functions. A new function takes the feature description from this
struct and checks for its availability. The feature can take a list of
extension names with a list of alternate namespaces (such as "EXT" or
"ARB"). It can also detect the feature from a particular version of
GL.
The typedefs are now gone and instead the function pointer in the Cogl
context just directly contains the type.
Some of the functions in the context were previously declared with the
'ARB' extension. This has been removed so that now all the functions
have no suffix. This makes more sense when the extension could
potentially be merged into GL core as well.
There is a new internal Cogl function called _cogl_check_driver_valid
which looks at the value of the GL_VERSION string to determine whether
the driver is supported. Clutter now calls this after the stage is
realized. If it fails then the stage is marked as unrealized and a
warning is shown.
_cogl_features_init now also checks the version number before getting
the function pointers for glBlendFuncSeparate and
glBlendEquationSeparate. It is not safe to just check for the presence
of the functions because some drivers may define the function without
fully implementing the spec.
The GLES version of _cogl_check_driver_valid just always returns TRUE
because there are no version requirements yet.
Eventually the function could also check for mandatory extensions if
there were any.

We can not process events for a stage that has been destroyed so we
should make sure that the events for the stage are removed from the
global event queue during dispose.

Both ClutterAlpha:mode and ClutterAnimation:mode can be defined using:
• an integer id
• the "nick" field of the AnimationMode GEnumValue
• a custom, tweener-like string
All these methods should be documented.
Like in ClutterAlpha, ClutterAnimation:mode must be overridden when
parsing a Script definition, as we accept both a numeric id and the
string id for easing modes.
When _cogl_add_path_to_stencil_buffer is used to draw a path we don't
need to clear the entire stencil buffer. Instead it can clear just the
bounding box of the path. This adds an extra parameter called
'need_clear' which is only set if the stencil buffer is being used for
clipping.

Since the rectangles packed inside the BoxLayout interactive test
have random colors it's not easy to verify the ordering. By using
the CoglPango API to print out the index in the middle of each
rectangle.
