The coordinate transformation code is exercised throughout the
conformance and interactive tests, so there's no need to have a specific
interactive test that doesn't do anything more complicated than calling
clutter_actor_transform_stage_point().
Even if the test has been successfully compiled against the X11 backend,
we need to ensure that it is actually running against it, otherwise bad
things will happen.
The Clutter backend split is opaque enough that should allow us to just
build all possible backends inside the same shared object, and select
the wanted backend at initialization time.
This requires some work in the build system, as well as the
initialization code, to remove duplicate functions that might cause
conflicts at build and link time. We also need to defer all the checks
of the internal state of the platform-specific API to run-time type
checks.
Instead of directly using the GLSL names for the builtins in the
shaders for test-shader and test-pick, this makes it use the Cogl
wrapper names instead. That way it will be portable to GLES2 as well.

GLib deprecated g_thread_init(), and threading support is initialized
by GObject, so Clutter already runs with threading support enabled. We
can drop the clutter_threads_init() call requirement, and initialize the
Big Clutter Lock™ on clutter_init(). This reduces the things that have
to be done when dealing with threads with Clutter, and the things that
can possibly go wrong.
-tests/interactive/Makefile.am, build/win32/Makefile.am: copy the
generated test-unit-names.h to build/win32 so that it can be
distributed in "make dist" (maybe we could dist the generated header
in tests/interactive directly?)

The easing test is a nice example of what ClutterAnimation and
clutter_actor_animate() can do. The "tween ball to the pointer
event coordinates" is a bit of a staple in animation libraries
and their documentation.
The Animatable interface allows object classes to provide and animate
properties outside of the usual GObject property introspection API.
This change allows ClutterState to defer to the animatable objects the
property introspection and animation, just like ClutterAnimation does.
Keeping the backing Cairo surface of a CairoTexture canvas in sync with
the actor's allocation is tedious and prone to mistakes. We can
definitely do better by simply exposing a property that does the surface
resize and invalidation automagically on ::allocate.
The current "create context/draw/destroy context" pattern presents
various problems. The first issue is that it defers memory management to
the caller of the create() or create_region() methods, which makes
bookkeeping of the cairo_t* harder for language bindings and third party
libraries. The second issue is that, while it's easier for
draw-and-forget texturs, this API is needlessly complicated for contents
that have to change programmatically - and it introduces constraints
like calling the drawing code explicitly after a surface resize (e.g.
inside an allocate() implementation).
By using a signal-based approach we can make the CairoTexture actor
behave like other actors, and like other libraries using Cairo as their
2D drawing API.
The semantics of the newly-introduced ::draw signal are the same as the
one used by GTK+:
- the signal is emitted on invalidation;
- the cairo_t* context is owned by the actor;
- it is safe to have multiple callbacks attached to the same
signal, to allow composition;
- the cairo_t* is already clipped to the invalidated area, so
that Cairo can discard geometry immediately before we upload
the texture data.
There are possible future improvements, like coalescing multiple
invalidations inside regions, and performing clipped draws during
the paint cycle; we could even perform clipped redraws if we know the
extent of the invalidated area.
Some of the tests are making direct GL calls. Eventually we want
Clutter not to link directly against any GL library so that it can
leave Cogl to load it dynamically. As a step towards getting this to
work this patch changes the tests to resolve the symbols using
cogl_get_proc_address instead of linking directly.
