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.

Removing CoglHandle has been an on going goal for quite a long time now
and finally this patch removes the last remaining uses of the CoglHandle
type and the cogl_handle_ apis.
Since the big remaining users of CoglHandle were the cogl_program_ and
cogl_shader_ apis which have replaced with the CoglSnippets api this
patch removes both of these apis.

Since the original patch was done after removing deprecated API
this back ported patch doesn't affect deprecated API and so
actually this cherry-pick doesn't remove all remaining use of
CoglHandle as it did for the master branch of Cogl.
As we move towards Cogl 2.0 we are aiming to remove the need for a
default global CoglContext and so everything should be explicitly
related to a context somehow. CoglPipelines are top level objects and
so this patch adds a context argument to cogl_pipeline_new().

We are in the process of removing all _EXP suffix mangling for
experimental APIs (Ref: c6528c4b6c) and adding missing gtk-doc
comments so that we can instead rely on the "Stability: unstable"
markers in the gtk-doc comments. This patch tackles the cogl-pipeline
symbols.
This adds two new public experimental functions for attaching
CoglSnippets to two hook points on a CoglPipeline:
void cogl_pipeline_add_vertex_hook (CoglPipeline *, CoglSnippet *)
void cogl_pipeline_add_fragment_hook (CoglPipeline *, CoglSnippet *)
The hooks are intended to be around the entire vertex or fragment
processing. That means the pre string in the snippet will be inserted
at the very top of the main function and the post function will be
inserted at the very end. The declarations get inserted in the global
scope.
The snippets are stored in two separate linked lists with a structure
containing an enum representing the hook point and a pointer to the
snippet. The lists are meant to be for hooks that affect the vertex
shader and fragment shader respectively. Although there are currently
only two hooks and the names match these two lists, the intention is
*not* that each new hook will be in a separate list. The separation of
the lists is just to make it easier to determine which shader needs to
be regenerated when a new snippet is added.
When a pipeline becomes the authority for either the vertex or
fragment snipper state, it simply copies the entire list from the
previous authority (although of course the shader snippet objects are
referenced instead of copied so it doesn't duplicate the source
strings).
Each string is inserted into its own block in the shader. This means
that each string has its own scope so it doesn't need to worry about
name collisions with variables in other snippets. However it does mean
that the pre and post strings can't share variables. It could be
possible to wrap both parts in one block and then wrap the actual
inner hook code in another block, however this would mean that any
further snippets within the outer snippet would be able to see those
variables. Perhaps something to consider would be to put each snippet
into its own function which calls another function between the pre and
post strings to do further processing.
The pipeline cache for generated programs was previously shared with
the fragment shader cache because the state that affects vertex
shaders was a subset of the state that affects fragment shaders. This
is no longer the case because there is a separate state mask for
vertex snippets so the program cache now has its own hash table.

This adds the following new public experimental functions to set
uniform values on a CoglPipeline:
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_1f (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
float value);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_1i (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
int value);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_float (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
int n_components,
int count,
const float *value);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_int (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
int n_components,
int count,
const int *value);
void
cogl_pipeline_set_uniform_matrix (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
int uniform_location,
int dimensions,
int count,
gboolean transpose,
const float *value);
These are similar to the old functions used to set uniforms on a
CoglProgram. To get a value to pass in as the uniform_location there
is also:
int
cogl_pipeline_get_uniform_location (CoglPipeline *pipeline,
const char *uniform_name);
Conceptually the uniform locations are tied to the pipeline so that
whenever setting a value for a new pipeline the application is
expected to call this function. However in practice the uniform
locations are global to the CoglContext. The names are stored in a
linked list where the position in the list is the uniform location.
The global indices are used so that each pipeline can store a mask of
which uniforms it overrides. That way it is quicker to detect which
uniforms are different from the last pipeline that used the same
CoglProgramState so it can avoid flushing uniforms that haven't
changed. Currently the values are not actually compared which means
that it will only avoid flushing a uniform if there is a common
ancestor that sets the value (or if the same pipeline is being flushed
again - in which case the pipeline and its common ancestor are the
same thing).
The uniform values are stored in the big state of the pipeline as a
sparse linked list. A bitmask stores which values have been overridden
and only overridden values are stored in the linked list.

This splits out the core CoglPipelineLayer support code from
cogl-pipeline.c into cogl-pipeline-layer.c; it splits out the debugging
code for dumping a pipeline to a .dot file into cogl-pipeline-debug.c
and it splits the CoglPipelineNode support which is shared between
CoglPipeline and CoglPipelineLayer into cogl-node.c.
Note: cogl-pipeline-layer.c only contains the layer code directly
relating to CoglPipelineLayer objects; it does not contain any
_cogl_pipeline API relating to how CoglPipeline tracks and manipulates
layers.
All of the cogl_pipeline API is currently experimental so this makes
sure the API is surrounded by #ifdef COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API
guards and all the symbols have a #define to give them an _EXP suffix as
we do for other experimental API.

As part of an on-going effort to get cogl-pipeline.c into a more
maintainable state this splits out all the apis relating just to
layer state. This just leaves code relating to the core CoglPipeline
and CoglPipelineLayer design left in cogl-pipeline.c.
This splits out around 2k more lines from cogl-pipeline.c although we
are still left with nearly 4k lines so we still have some way to go!

Since cogl-pipeline.c has become very unwieldy this make a start at
trying to shape this code back into a manageable state. This patche
moves all the API relating to core pipeline state into
cogl-pipeline-state.c. This doesn't move code relating to layer state
out nor does it move any of the code supporting the core design
of CoglPipeline itself.
This change alone factors out 2k lines of code from cogl-pipeline.c
which is obviously a good start. The next step will be to factor
out the layer state and then probably look at breaking all of this
state code down into state-groups.

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

Instead of simply extending the cogl_pipeline_ namespace to add api for
controlling the depth testing state we now break the api out. This adds
a CoglDepthState type that can be stack allocated. The members of the
structure are private but we have the following API to setup the state:
cogl_depth_state_init
cogl_depth_state_set_test_enabled
cogl_depth_state_get_test_enabled
cogl_depth_state_set_test_function
cogl_depth_state_get_test_function
cogl_depth_state_set_writing_enabled
cogl_depth_state_get_writing_enabled
cogl_depth_state_set_range
cogl_depth_state_get_range
This removes the following experimental API which is now superseded:
cogl_material_set_depth_test_enabled
cogl_material_get_depth_test_enabled
cogl_material_set_depth_test_function
cogl_material_get_depth_test_function
cogl_material_set_depth_writing_enabled
cogl_material_get_depth_writing_enabled
cogl_material_set_depth_range
cogl_material_get_depth_range
Once a CoglDepthState structure is setup it can be set on a pipeline
using cogl_pipeline_set_depth_state().
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.
