The include path for the winsys and driver folder was given relative
to $(srcdir) so it would end up relative to the driver folder which is
wrong. It is now specified as $(srcdir)/../../winsys to get the right
location. The driver folder is removed because it is actually just
$(srcdir) and that is already included.
These files were practically identical, except the gles code had additional
support for filling paths without a stencil buffer. All the driver code has
now been moved into cogl/cogl-primitives.c
Cogl's support for offscreen rendering was originally written just to support
the clutter_texture_new_from_actor API and due to lack of documentation and
several confusing - non orthogonal - side effects of using the API it wasn't
really possible to use directly.
This commit does a number of things:
- It removes {gl,gles}/cogl-fbo.{c,h} and adds shared cogl-draw-buffer.{c,h}
files instead which should be easier to maintain.
- internally CoglFbo objects are now called CoglDrawBuffers. A
CoglDrawBuffer is an abstract base class that is inherited from to
implement CoglOnscreen and CoglOffscreen draw buffers. CoglOffscreen draw
buffers will initially be used to support the
cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture API, and CoglOnscreen draw buffers will
start to be used internally to represent windows as we aim to migrate some
of Clutter's backend code to Cogl.
- It makes draw buffer objects the owners of the following state:
- viewport
- projection matrix stack
- modelview matrix stack
- clip state
(This means when you switch between draw buffers you will automatically be
switching to their associated viewport, matrix and clip state)
Aside from hopefully making cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture be more useful
short term by having simpler and well defined semantics for
cogl_set_draw_buffer, as mentioned above this is the first step for a couple
of other things:
- Its a step toward moving ownership for windows down from Clutter backends
into Cogl, by (internally at least) introducing the CoglOnscreen draw
buffer. Note: the plan is that cogl_set_draw_buffer will accept on or
offscreen draw buffer handles, and the "target" argument will become
redundant since we will instead query the type of the given draw buffer
handle.
- Because we have a common type for on and offscreen framebuffers we can
provide a unified API for framebuffer management. Things like:
- blitting between buffers
- managing ancillary buffers (e.g. attaching depth and stencil buffers)
- size requisition
- clearing
As part of an incremental process to have Cogl be a standalone project we
want to re-consider how we organise the Cogl source code.
Currently this is the structure I'm aiming for:
cogl/
cogl/
<put common source here>
winsys/
cogl-glx.c
cogl-wgl.c
driver/
gl/
gles/
os/ ?
utils/
cogl-fixed
cogl-matrix-stack?
cogl-journal?
cogl-primitives?
pango/
The new winsys component is a starting point for migrating window system
code (i.e. x11,glx,wgl,osx,egl etc) from Clutter to Cogl.
The utils/ and pango/ directories aren't added by this commit, but they are
noted because I plan to add them soon.
Overview of the planned structure:
* The winsys/ API is the API that binds OpenGL to a specific window system,
be that X11 or win32 etc. Example are glx, wgl and egl. Much of the logic
under clutter/{glx,osx,win32 etc} should migrate here.
* Note there is also the idea of a winsys-base that may represent a window
system for which there are multiple winsys APIs. An example of this is
x11, since glx and egl may both be used with x11. (currently only Clutter
has the idea of a winsys-base)
* The driver/ represents a specific varient of OpenGL. Currently we have "gl"
representing OpenGL 1.4-2.1 (mostly fixed function) and "gles" representing
GLES 1.1 (fixed funciton) and 2.0 (fully shader based)
* Everything under cogl/ should fundamentally be supporting access to the
GPU. Essentially Cogl's most basic requirement is to provide a nice GPU
Graphics API and drawing a line between this and the utility functionality
we add to support Clutter should help keep this lean and maintainable.
* Code under utils/ as suggested builds on cogl/ adding more convenient
APIs or mechanism to optimize special cases. Broadly speaking you can
compare cogl/ to OpenGL and utils/ to GLU.
* clutter/pango will be moved to clutter/cogl/pango
How some of the internal configure.ac/pkg-config terminology has changed:
backendextra -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE # e.g. "x11"
backendextralib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE_LIB # e.g. "x11/libclutter-x11.la"
clutterbackend -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS # e.g. "glx"
CLUTTER_FLAVOUR -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS
clutterbackendlib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_LIB
CLUTTER_COGL -> COGL_DRIVER # e.g. "gl"
Note: The CLUTTER_FLAVOUR and CLUTTER_COGL defines are kept for apps
As the first thing to take advantage of the new winsys component in Cogl;
cogl_get_proc_address() has been moved from cogl/{gl,gles}/cogl.c into
cogl/common/cogl.c and this common implementation first trys
_cogl_winsys_get_proc_address() but if that fails then it falls back to
gmodule.
